Consumer Description
Was driving down the interstate at 70mph with cruise control on. The vehicle lunged forward and soon after a reduce power message appeared in the messages. I was able to avoid any incident with other vehicles and exited the highway with the motor was making loud noises. I parked the vehicle and called for roadside assistance. The vehicle had to be towed to the dealer, and I found out that the 6.2 liter V8 motor has metal in the oil and the entire engine needed to be replaced. The thrust bearing failed and required a full engine replacement. The vehicle has approximately 21,000 on it and is still under warranty, but it is a 3-6 month wait to get a replacement engine. I have searched the internet and found that there are many vehicles that are having similar issues with the 6.2 L V8 GM motor. It has been slightly over a month since the incident and have not received any updates.
