    The entire engine failed,seized. Had it towed to the dealership, they reported that it was do to no oil in the engine. The change oil light was on but not a low oil light, there was no oil leakage or smell noted. The car had been acting "odd" for 10 days or so, losing power and making a diesel engine sound while running. *tr

    As i was driving going approximately 55 mph the park assist message appeared on the dashboard and then the car suddenly lost power. The gauges went to 0 and the radio and air conditioning went off. It then suddenly popped back on and 4 different warning lights came on the dash (check engine, tire pressure, a decal with a lock and the passenger air bag light) and then off again. I pulled over and turned the engine…

    Vehicle seems to hesitate also stalling while at highway speed trying to accelerate to pass (feels like a miss in the engine) rpm drop about 500 - 700 rpms when this happens. It also feels like the torque converter lockup is engaging and disengaging not sure if the new transmissions have that anymore. Have taken the vehicle to the dealership and they were unable to find any problems. The dealership last month…

I took it to several mechanics and they all seem to think it was related to the timing chain. As time progressed the noise got exceedingly worse and used an extensive amount of gas. My car is currently not operating and it has approximately 120k miles. I contacted gm and they stated the…
