Consumer Description
I pulled up to a traffic light at a busy intersection in Lubbock, TX, and the engine just shut down on approach to a red light. The vehicle still had power (radio, headlights, AC/heater, etc.) but the engine would not start or even turn over and try to start. The vehicle was towed to a Chevy dealership in Lubbock, TX, and they said they believed it was an internal engine failure but wouldn’t be able to look at it for several weeks. I had it transported to my hometown in Taylor, TX, and my certified mechanic replaced the starter and battery solenoid but the engine still wouldn’t start. They drained the oil and found metal shavings in the oil. They too believe that the engine suffered a catastrophic failure and needs to be replaced.
