The vehicle powered down while driving on the freeway. It has not been inspected by police or insurance representatives, only by the chevrolet dealership service department.

This issue started on the freeway on Tuesday, April 29, 2025. The vehicle is only 4 years with only 130,000 miles and one that has been properly maintained.
