THE ENGINE IN MY CAR HAS LITERALLY FAILED ON THE FREEWAY 2 TIMES. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED AND GENERAL MOTORS WILL NOT HELP ME AND THE DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE THE ENGINE FREE OF CHARGE. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT GM WILL NOT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT. THIS CAR IS ONLY 3 1/2 YEARS OLD AND THE ENGINE SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED. *AK
