So the engine seized and the case cracked by the water pump. What you think of that?

extended warranty?..

totally sucks though! If not under warranty (2yr or extended) - there are engines on fleabay for about 1k typically.

good luck!

I think it was the water pump locked up cuz that's were the crack in the case is. But its at the dealer now so looks like its a 2010 motor for me.

is it an 08 or 09? Did they say they'd replace w/ 2010?

Any idea how long to fix?

sounds like a bummer, hope it works out well in the long run!
