With 39,000 miles we came through a toll booth & with no warning the engine made an awful noise & quit. After the expense of a tear down, the engine was found defective. A small piece of metal broke off, bent the rods and there was no compression on one side. We had to pay for a new motor and feel as this was a defect which gm should make right with us. ( I retired from gm, & may never but a gm vehicle again.
