Engine Failure problems of the 2013 Chevrolet Corvette

We purchased the car in July of 2018 from arizona specialty motors with approximately 14,500 miles. We used the car as a 3rd vehicle/recreational driver since purchase. On Monday, 09/02/19 we were driving back from mt. Lemmon, az and the car quit running at approximately 18,500 miles halfway down the mountain on our return. Fortunately there was a pullout where we were able to bring the car to a stop although we had no power, otherwise we could have driven or pushed over the cliff. We had to have the car towed back and took it to watson Chevrolet in tucson, az. On Wednesday, 09/04/19 we were informed that the valve dropped in cylinder #2 which resulted in catastrophic engine failure. The car is currently sitting at watson Chevrolet with a completely failed motor and have been provided an estimated $20,000 in repairs. Gm posted a service bulletin in 2011 claiming this issue was fixed; however, there are numerous reports online that it is still occurring and now we are also a victim.

I experienced a total engine failure causing my nearly new vehicle to suddenly lose power and stop in the middle of a busy intersection nearly causing an accident. After having it towed back to the dealer I was told that there was some kind of failure dealing with the valves inside of the engine which caused metal fragments to be present in the oil, causing the engine to seize. I was shown a container which held some of the oil inside my engine and you could clearly see metal particles. They had to replace the entire engine.
