Description of the problem	While driving to work (approx. 50 miles) the engine just stopped while making a left turn across traffic leaving me in a position of having to push it out of traffic on a major street to help avoid causing an accident/road closure delay. Just thankful this did not happen earlier in the commute on the interstate! After having it towed and speaking with 6 mechanics and 3 dealerships, we were told by every one of them that these engines are known for this problem and rebuilt engines are so backordered because of this problem, that we were looking at least 4-6 weeks minimum to try and replace it at a cost of $7600 out of pocket and still have 2 years to pay the car off before this even happened and there was no recall or gm assstance with this repair... Unbelievable! If this would have happened on the interstate or highway, it had potential for a major accident, because once the car shut off, the power steering and everything also went as well!
