Driving at 70 mph on freeway and all of a sudden "engine power reduced" warning comes on display and I can't accelerate. The engine cut off. On the motorway. This is not safe (plain) and I don't encounter myself ownership another Chevy once again. I take a family unit and this problem could kill us all.

Whenever the engine was running, at that place was a strong smell of engine exhaust coming into the vehicle through the A/C vents. The flex hose coming from the engine to the catalytic converter had developed a large crack. The exhaust fumes were being sucked into the ventilation system and out through the A/C vents, filling the cabin of the vehicle with exhaust fumes. The design of the flex pipe is seriously flawed as if information technology's made to fail. Information technology was as well dangerous to drive with my kids in the car because of the threat of the carbon monoxide that we were breathing from this issue. I believe that this may besides be the cause of severe headaches that I had been suffering from.

Oil cooler that is mounted on top of engine started leaking. Took to GM dealer and after research they found that the part was only fabricated for 6 months and was discontinued due to the effect I was having. At that place was a by laissez passer produced for a curt period that concluded up being worse than the original function. As a result there is no fashion to gear up my machine except change out the engine with a newer model. I called GM to ask about it and at the dealers proposition to inquire for help paying for the $5,999 engine. GM flat out refused whatever responsibility for the defective part and refused any assistance. How tin can an american car company knowingly make a defective part and take millions of them on the road and not be responsible for replacing the part or making a replacement bachelor? this issue makes the vehicle un drivable as the amount of oil and anti freeze that is leaked not only contaminates the surround it likewise empties the oil from the engine causing failure.

Driving at 70mph on the freeway, between two semi trucks, my auto dinged at me and the display said, "engine power reduced." I did not know what this meant and so I immediately started to attempt and maneuver betwixt the 2 trucks and pull over. Seconds after, the alert bells happened once more and the error bulletin was "engine disengaged." The car turned itself off! I coasted over to the berm. To be honest, I was so scared, I actually don't know if the ability steering and brakes were disabled too but with no engine running, I can't imagine how they could exist. The xanthous check engine light was now on and I tried several times to restart the auto with no success, it but acted dead. The electrical systems seemed operative. With cars and trucks zipping by at high speeds, I decided to expect in my car, hoping an emergency vehicle would pass by. After about ten minutes, I was able to starting time the auto over again. The check engine light remained lit and the car acted usually not even interim like information technology was in limp mode. I warily drove my car to my mechanic. He said the computer gave him limited information. He cleaned the throttle but wasn't sure information technology worked or non. Imagine my hesitancy to bulldoze on a freeway again, not knowing if information technology would happen again. A search of internet boards well-nigh this problem showed this is designed by GM to happen and happens often! a blueprint feature that shuts off the motorcar at loftier speeds because of a muddy throttle? this was non a fatal condition of the engine that would cause it to blow up or something just merely a maintenance item. Just shutting off the engine hardly seems like an proportionate response to a dirty throttle. The discussion boards say there are multiple reasons this happens, not but the throttle status. Please research this design flaw. The idea of letting my wife drive this car quite frankly scares me as it did me that cold winter mean solar day.

The car will stalled while driving betwixt 25-40 mph and more frequently when slowing downward, merely before the motorcar comes to a consummate stop, it is far worst at present.
