2 weeks ago, I heard a very faint rattle noise coming out of the car, looked under the hood, did not see anything, then the noise went away (i thought it did anyway).

Yesterday I was going to meet up with some Friend and the car started making a very very loud noise, I had my little camera so i took a video of it, because i thought i would be good to post on the blog, so here goes
Well anyway, I was worried about the car, but made it to my meet up, then headed home. On the way home, the noise was just getting louder and louder, at one point, i felt that the car is losing power, but wanted to get home and it was too late to take it anywhere, also, it was really cold, – 17, so thought id keep going. A few minutes latter, the noise was way too loud and then, silence, the engine shut down, and car wont start.
Called Subaru road side assistance, that is another post altogether…
I think the engine is gone, what do you think?
Got this from Duane, thanks Duane.
sounds like the problem alot of the 2008 and 2009 wrx owners are having. From what I have been reading sounds like guys are having problems with the rods in the motor going bad.
If you Google 2009 wrx engine problems there is a couple of articles on there about it. and one other guy has one on you tube if you search 2009 wrx engine noise.
Sounds like Subaru needs to issue a recall on this before they lose alot of customers.
