I was driving through town,all of a sudden I had no rpm's and the car came to a complete stop . Called a tow service and had it towed, the mechanic explained to me that the timing belt had snapped and it has caused internal damage to the engine. From the research I have done online, this seems to be an ongoing problem with Chevrolet, I just hate to think what would have happened had it been on a busy highway, because I had no warning.
I was driving 65 mph on the highway, when all of a sudden my rpms dropped to zero and I could no longer accelerate. I had to cut across two lanes of traffic to safely make it to the shoulder of the road. I later found out that my timing belt had snapped, causing internal damage to my engine and causing my car to break down in the middle of cruising on the highway.
