Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THE DISPLAY ON THE DASH DISPLAYED THE WORDS "POWERING DOWN" AND THEN THE CAR PROCEEDS TO SLOW TO A COMPLETE STOP. ALL WHILE I'M DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN TRAFFIC. THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN MCKINNEY, EL DORADO, ADVISED ME THAT THE ENGINE SIMPLY FELL APART AND BROKE. I JUST GOT A TUNE UP AND OIL CHANGE WITHIN THE PAST 60 DAYS...HOW CAN AN ENGINE JUST FALL APART WITH NO INDICATION, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NO SMOKE, ETC.
