2014 garage queen. Only 42k miles. Never tracked. Driven pretty conservatively. Oil changed every 5k. Stock.

On freeway going with flow of traffic and heard loud pop, then a bunch of light gray smoke from tail. Engine died and coasted to the shoulder. She wouldn't even crank.

After being towed I looked under hood. No visible signs of damage. I checked the oil. Level looked a little high and possibly a little lighter in color. I'm hoping I'm not seeing water in there. If so, it wasn't real obvious and level might have been high because it was parked on an incline

Any guesses? It's at the shop now so I'll probably find out tomorrow.

Thanks in advance
