My car has had regularly scheduled maintenance since we purchase it in Feb 2011. Today, as my husband was driving it, we believe the engine just blew up. The car started shaking, the check engine light came on, then there was a loud noise and the car shut down. It had to be towed back to our house. We have no idea why this happened or what to do. We currently still owe money on the car. It is still financed. This vehicle was constantly at Chevrolet because it had problems. Many of them they refused to fix even though we bought the extended warranty. I took it and complained about the dash acting strange, the gauges would jump and the digital would go to all dashes, they replaced something once and it still did it. I complained several more times and all they would say was they could not get the issue to replicate. There have been oil leaks that were replaced under warranty, it wears out shocks like crazy, both front hubs have had to be replaced, there has been water in the head lights, 1 was replaced by the warranty but then the other my dealership refused to replace and I had to pay to have it repaired. Water leaks into the passenger side front floor board from under the dash, the dealership said it was not covered by the warranty, water leaks in the driver side floor board from under dash durring and after heavy rains, dealership stated they could not replicate the issue, not to mention the recalls. We have done all the reg. Scheduled oil changes and service. It has gotten new spark plugs and new coil packs. Now the engine is blown up with only 135000 miles on it.

Vechical started making a loud noise and all of a sudden it blew up in flames.

Sitting at a turn light, cars started to move and I started to accelerate when I heard a loud pop noise (was not going over more than 10mph). So I pulled over and looked opened the hood to find my oil cap, filter, a black piece, and spring had popped out of the oil filter location which was in the block. Oil had been spewed all over. I took the oil cap to a Chevrolet dealership and the service guy said he had never seen the oil cap and filter pop out of the block, he examined the cap and only noticed one minor break in the threads of the cap. He said that the black piece and the spring that go in the cap must have failed which in turn cause the cap to pop out of the block, he also told me to look at the block to make sure it was not cracked. I then inspected block to make sure it was not cracked, which it was not, and had a new cap, filter and oil installed.
