1 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem of the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado

Failure Date: 06/28/2019

I was turning through a busy intersection and as I completed my turn and came to a stop the engine shut down. Prior to making the turn the engine felt like it was going to stall out and quit running. I have experienced the sluggish idle before but it never shut down like it did today. A google search revealed that Chevrolet has a technical sb, 16-na-284 that says a reprogram of the computer is required to correct the problem. In my opinion this is a safety issue. I was fortunate to have completed my turn before it quit running but someone else may not even be aware of the situation putting themselves at risk if it would happen to quit during the turn with oncoming traffic.
