NHTSA Complaint #11172213 — 2012 CHEVROLET CAMARO

DRIVING INTO WORK AND THE ENGINE STARTS SUCKING AIR THROUGH THE INNER CABIN, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE JUST DIES COMPLETELY HOWEVER THE ELECTRONICS STAYED ON. I TRIED TO START THE CAR AFTER LETTING IT COOL FOR 2 HRS AND THE ENGINE STARTED SHAKING RAPIDLY, THERE ARE NO ENGINE LIGHTS OR ALARMS ON THE DASH. I GET THE CAR TOWED HOME, I TEST THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR AND THEY BOTH CHECK OUT. I HAD A FULL TUNE UP AND TRIED TO FIRE IT UP AGAIN AND THE CRANK WOULDN'T TURN AND NOTICED THE STARTER WAS ENGAGED. I REPLACED THE STARTER AND THE CAR CRANK WITH NO PROBLEM HOWEVER THE ENGINE KNOCKED UNCONTROLLABLY. THIS CAR FAILED ON ME AND CUT OFF COMPLETELY WITH NO CONTROLS , HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE.
