Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 70 MPH. LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES OUT OF NO WHERE WHICH IS WHEN I NOTICED THE RPMS WAS AT 0. AFTER WE, BY THE GRACE OF GOD, MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY, WE HAD IT TOWED TO A GARAGE WHERE THE SAID THE TIMING CHAIN CAME OFF AND RUINED THE ENGINE AND THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND COULD BE FIXED FOR AROUND $5600. THE VEHICLE HAS 65K MILES AND BLEW UP? ITS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR A VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF ON THE HIGHWAY AND I WASN'T WARNED THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS THIS KIND OF HISTORY AND GM DON'T RECOGNIZE THIS IS A PROBLEM!
