You may remember me from this thread:

Well, my 2015 GC Summit Diesel just shit the bed tonight. I was driving home from work and the engine started to sound a bit louder than normal. The sound reminded me of my dad's old Mercedes 220D. It sounded more "diesel" than normal.
As I got closer to home, the noise proceeded to change to more of a knocking. At this point I was only a mile or so out. So far, normal temps, no warning lights. As I drove down my street, the engine suddenly stopped and I was able to coast into my driveway. My suspicions about it having seized were proven true when I pushed the start switch...
The car has 45,000+ miles on it. Luckily, I purchased the 100,000 mile warranty from Zurich.
At this point, I am numb to the whole experience. I will once again be without my car and will be facing a repair that shouldn't have to be made.
More to follow...
