I have almost had an accident twice based on the transmission not shifting properly and the car loosing traction between 1st and 2nd gear. Chevy has flushed the transmission 3 times with no change. 3 weeks ago the engine failed while I was trying to accelerate on a highway. This caused a truck to almost ram the back of my car and another car almost hit me as I tried to get to the side of the highway. I was able to drive it to the dealer. Auto nation Chevrolet on lee vista blvd, orl. Florida. They determined that it was a catastrophic engine failure. The engine has been taken apart into many pieces and much of it is sitting on the dealership shop floor. The mechanic said the engine failure was due to a defective valve casing and a defective spring. . Damaging the camshaft. All valves and springs and camshaft would need to be replaced. Chevy has declined my request for a new engine. . They said that decision is up to the dealership service manager. I spoke to him. . . He said that the cost to replace the engine must be within a few hundred dollars vs rebuilding the engine for him to authorize that the engine be replaced. . This is now 3 weeks in duration with no car, which cost me close to $50,000 and almost has caused me to be in 3 accidents. I am appealing for your intervention.
