Curious and have questions.

I am wondering if something could have contributed to the issues or it was just bad parts. I myself don't want this to happen to my car.

Questions:
*Did you follow the initial 1200 miles break in process?
*Do you use auto start stop?
*Do you have rwd or awd?
*How often do you change oil?
*Do you like to drive fast and rev high?

Thanks!
