Engine died on me Thursday evening. Sitting at a red light and the engine shook for a very brief moment and CEL/Oil light came on. Then it shut off and wouldn't turn back on. Tried starting it a few times and smoke came out from the block. Burned the starter. Had car towed to my dealership and...

Have about 4,000 miles on my 2014 SX-T, and I normally drive it very conservatively, but when I do ocassionally floor it from a dead stop or while moving I get a funny burnt hair smell in tha cabin with no smoke. Under normal driving conditions there is not a problem.
