NHTSA Complaint #11502962 — 2016 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

I was driving the vehicle from Madison, WI to Janesville, WI on the interstate. The car was operating normally until about 35 minutes into my drive. I heard unusual noises coming from the vehicle and I started to feel more resistance then normal while accelerating. I checked the dash for any indicator lights or high temperature but nothing was indicated. I exited the interstate and noticed the car was not accelerating normally. While stopped at a stop light the vehicle stalled, but powered back on after restarting. About a mile up the road the vehicle stalled again, but again restarted. I was less than a mile from my destination. After parking the vehicle at my destination, oil was observed gushing out from above the real driver's side wheel well. The vehicle had an odor. It was determined an intake value burst causing an oil leak. After the intake valve was repaired it was determined a chain snapped in the engine, and the engine was also in need of repair. The intake valve has been retained. The vehicle stalled while in use multiple times putting me and my family at risk for an accident. Had a dashboard indicator light illuminated, I would have immediately pulled over. Yes the problem was confirmed but a dealer that inspected the vehicle.
