| Description of the problem | I was passing on a two lane high way at an accelerated speed at which time the engine dies, no lights no nothing total engine failure. Luckily i have enough momentum that i safely get around the semi and continue to be able to coast until i find a safe place to pull over. I call my local dealer who will not come tow me as i am approximately 50 miles from home although i do have gm roadside assistance. I turn off the ignition and it does restart so i manage to drive to a nearby dealership and leave it there. Nothing shows up on the computer i refuse to take it home. Should they not be able to repair this problem i will hold the dealership and general motors 100% responsible. Thank god my daughter and i are safe but this is a tragedy waiting to happen if not resolved. |
