Consumer Description

While driving the engine suffered a catastrophic failure and died. Fortunately I was already coming to a stop when it happened. Had I been traveling at speed I would have been seriously injured or killed along with any other vehicles I may have crashed into. The Chevrolet dealership where vehicle was purchased new confirmed it was a catastrophic failure of the GM L87 engine which has knowingly been fraught with these failures. They cannot confirm the exact nature of the failure without dismantling the entire engine at my cost which I have not decided upon doing yet as it will be very expensive. As far as symptoms or warnings I heard a sound from the engine compartment immediately before the engine died.
