Driving normal citystreets 25mph when engine noise started,went another 2 blocks,engine stopped running,towed to chevy dealer. If this had happened on major highway,possible catastrophic effects. No power steering ,brakes,engine oil on roadway,steering wheel lock,wrecks ,injuries or possible fatalities. Engine head poor workmanship in these ls7 engines.
Engine started making noise, feeling there could be a failure I drove to my servicing Chevrolet dealer. They listened to the engine and said, that's normal. Not trusting that judgment, I had an independent shop inspect the engine, and had the valve issue resolved at my expense. I was still under extended warranty, which made me angry. But if the dealer says there is noting wrong, what am I supposed to do? after the repair was performed at my expense, I took the failing parts back to the dealer for them to inspect. They admitted they were wrong, but what good did that do me? keep in mind my vehicle had less than 10k miles on it. This is where I feel safety comes into play; had my engine failed and locked up on todays crowed interstates, I could have caused a major accident. The failures I have read about, gave no warning, when the engine let-go.
