This vehicle had a catastrophic engine failure at 60 mph and with only 63,000 miles!!! I am a lifelong GM customer and I have never experienced an engine or transmission failure before in my life. An engine failure at 63,000 miles is just extremely poor quality. This vehicle was well maintained with all its scheduled maintenance over the life of the car. I am not a mechanic, so I don't know exactly what happened, but something broke inside the engine and by the time I could pull over, the engine block had cracked. It was towed to White Plains GMC Buick where I was told that the engine and catalytic converters would have to be replaced and that this would cost close to $15,000. Since the engine only costs about $4,000, this repair cost seems greatly inflated.
I complained to Mary Barra, CEO of GM, that the trade in value prior to this failure was $10,000-$12,000, and that if they wanted me to ever buy another GM vehicle, that they should give me this amount toward the purchase of a new one. They did offer $2500 since I was a lifelong GM owner, but I deemed that too little too late. I signed the title over to the dealer and bought a new Subaru instead.
A well maintained engine should never fail at 63,000 miles, and GM's failure to back up its product has lost them my loyalty. I will not buy another GM vehicle, and urge others to heed my warning.
