Description of the problem	Piston connector rod put a whole in the engine at only 62700 (2700 miles after oil change that was always changed after oil change light came on around every 4500 to 5000 miles)miles on the vehicle. We were driving at 70 mph on major highway and suddenly stop responding and would not start in an area that only had half of emergency lane(so the car was taking part of travel lanes) . This was december 27,2018 at 11:30 pm with me, my wife, our 2 kids, our nephew and their friend (8, 12,13 and 14 years old) we were coming back from a ski trip 1 and half hour from home, it happened about 40 minutes away from home . We could not come out the car, it was not safe place out of the car. State police drove by and did not stop, i called then to send someone until tow truck come. Tow truck came first after around 45 minutes. Car computer cluster start to show battery was dying, it was pit black with 18 wheeler and cars flying by. This is a safety issue - drivers with families should be made aware. I went to the local gmc dealer to ask why it happened since car has 62700 miles and they ask me if my wife does off road i said no. But i asked my wife to make sure she said no. But to make double and triple sure i asked my 8 years old daughter and my 12 years old if their mother drives on mud, water,bump hills, wet land, shaking places and pot holes. They said no but that would be fun (lol). Thank you gmc for a nice holiday gift.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
