Description of the problem | Vehicle was traveling apx 25 mph and slowing for a right turn. Car died in busy traffic at intersection on a city street. No warning lights, no oil light and no engine light. Restarted vehicle and it sounded horrible and had no power. Took it into a shop to find the engine had failed due to improper oil pressure. Spun rod bearing, and timing chain failure. Car ran perfect before this incident and i adhered to oil change schedule . I still owe $20,000 on it! Gm and chevy will not help, even tho i bought from a chevy dealership. Also had to replace power steering pump twice in a year. Blower motor quit working and wiper motor. After researching online, i find to these to be extremely common issues. There was a recall for timing chain and engine failure in 2009 to 2011, then again in 2013 but not 2012? Why chevy?! Cost to fix: $9,926. Almost half of what i owe on a vehicle ive had a year. |
