1 Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 03/20/2019

I was driving home one day and the car no longer wanted to go so I slowly and carefully rolled down a hill and went into the parking lot the car no longer wanted to start I thought it was the battery or the alternator so I changed both I even checked my oil to make sure I was good on that end I ended up getting the car towed back to the house the mechanic checked it out and no codes were popping up the car was stationary and ran but I tried to go down the street and it just stopped then the area around made some strange noises and the mechanic said it might be the engine I then took it the shop and I was told it's the engine I just didnt not know what the issue was it's a 2010 Camaro 6 cylinder with a 3. 6 llt engine and many people have had issues with it but I don't know if chevy ever did anything about it it was on a city street when it stopped its just been sitting since it went bad and the 2012 and up models engine cost around $1700 but the 2010's engine costs over $3000 many people state that it's more expensive because of how many peoples engines have gone bad and it's usually around 100k miles it's was always serviced and when it would stop the steering wheel would lock up and would not want to start.

2 Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 07/21/2014

I took my car into a Chevrolet dealership immediately after I noticed my engine started to make noises. A couple of hours later, I got a call from the dealership and they told me there was engine damage. The service employee asked me why I waited so long to change the oil in the car. I told him that I waited for the car oil life system (ols) to alert me to change the oil, and that it doesn't alert me until 8,000 to 10,000 miles. He told me that I shouldn't wait that long, and he recommended to change the oil after 4,000 to 5,000 miles. I told him that gm needs to fix the (ols) to alert consumers sooner to change the oil. After I got off the phone, I did a google search and learned that there was a recall on the 2010-2012 Chevrolet equinox with a four-cylinder engine, and it will get its (ols) monitor recalibrated to shorten the interval between oil changes. So I think gm need to expand the recall to cover all models that have this problem. The dealership never recalibrated my (ols) system, and told me to just bring it in sooner for oil changes.
