I was driving the vehicle at approximately 45 mph when the vehicle suddenly had no engine power. There were no warning signals or symptoms of an issue that would indicate there was a problem, but the dashboard told me the vehicle needed a restart. I was able to pull the vehicle out of traffic at a cross street and coast to a stop in a parking lot. Had I not been where I was at the moment when the engine failed, or had there been oncoming traffic that would have required me to stop coasting, I would not have been able to pull safely out of traffic. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was purchased. They told me the next day that is was an internal engine failure.

On April 7th 2024 we were traveling on vacation 2 1/2 hours from home and our vehicle started making a ticking noise and traction control, engine light, service emissions, and front collision warning all came on. It was idling very rough. We had to stop for the night with our kids and take it to the closest dealer the next morning. They diagnosed the car and confirmed that the lifters needed repair. We had to leave our vehicle and get a rental to make it back home. The dealer made repairs and sent vehicle back to us. Fast forward to 1/15/25 I was on the way to work and the same thing started happening. I then had to tow the vehicle to the dealership and they have diagnosed it with the same…

While driving my family home from our christmas vacation on the Garden State Parkway (NJ) the engine shut off and would not restart. This happened on a stretch of the highway with no shoulder while traveling at 65mph. Thankfully we were able to coast far enough to a section of highway with a shoulder. This incident left my [XXX] , [XXX] , my wife and I and our dog stranded in the freezing cold 100 miles from home. After a stressful next few days the Chevrolet dealership diagnosed it as blown bearings in the motor. It has now been over three weeks and no word from GM when a new motor will be available.

When traveling at highway speeds our vehicle suddenly lost all engine power. Driving in the passing lane of [XXX] at 75 mph our 2023 Chevrolet suburban RST 6.2 lost all engine power and went into neutral. We were barely able to make it over to the right breakdown lane without getting hit and making it with no power. We were stranded on the busy interstate for three hours with my wife and three young kids in a very dangerous location. They were scared and because we barely made it into the breakdown lane and so close to speeding traffic had to stand outside of the vehicle close to the woods further from dangerous traffic. The Suburban was flatbedded to nearest Chevrolet dealer where we were…
