Well yesterday i was going to pass somebody on the hwy and then went to hit the brakes to slow down then the car just up and dies so im still cruseing some and put the car in neutral and try to restart the car and nothing.

get car to side of the highway and my cooling fans wont turn on and car hits 207 temp on guage cluster.

let car cool down go to start it up after i get it to about 185 temp and car starts but idles rough so i give it a small ammount of gas to hit 1k and then i slowly let off gas to let it idle and then nothing car dies.

repeated process and it did it again and so at this time i call dealership at 4 something and they got me a tow they was not able to look at it cause it was after hours they got me a rental a 2006 chevy silvarado quad cab.

they looked at car today and i called them asking how its going about the car and they said that gm is going to replace the motor so we shall see where this goes. hopefully this motor lasts better then last one they had to replace the intake gasket for the problems it was having with the dipstick poping out and making all the oil leave the engine i replaced 1 day 6qts of oil and took it in and they fixed it. i just hope this is not the begining of the end of the motor.

lets see how long it takes them to get the motor in and replaced im already missing my car

later

 

I dunno man, doesn't sound too good.

 

i know they said there going to get me a new motor so i just hope this works out

 

hmmmm. that does not sound fun. at least you will have a new motor

 

so what exactly was wrong with it? the dealership must just know its a **** engine replace it just like that

 

right now all i know is that it threw a rod at this time

 

that sucks

 

i would laugh my ass off if they gave me a stg 2 but i really doubt that will happen lol.

 

i'm assuming you were stock when this happened?

 

yes i was

 

Defiantely stock, if you were modded, WOW you have one NICE dealership that I will be bringing my car to no matter how far away it is lol

 

Ewwww. Good luck with the new motor!

 

Wow, these motors are this weak? throwing rods on stock power. ??

 

Thats kinda unusual. Anyone else have a bottom-end problem while stock?? Maybe it was a friday engine.

 

yea i have no idea why it threw the rod atleast thats what they say

 

yea deff freaky..but I guess they know something since they didint waste time to warranty your car and switch the motor.

Also have you been really hard on the car? or nothing to major? Theres a difference from Beating up a car and driving a car hard.

 

Pictures of destruction or STFU!

 

only time the car has been drivin hard really is getting on highway or passing somebody mostly

no pics cause its in dealership and they do not allow camera in building but im going to talk to the owner tomarrow we have bought alot of cars there

 

Yea man try and get some pics. ID deff like to know what caused a rod to fail.

 

your not the only one this car is not modded at all engine wise all appearance cheap stuff and now this crap happens

 

Dont be to mad. **** happens man. Atleast their fixing you car.

 

yea that is true the car dont even have 17k miles on it thats kinda what made me a lil upset man i had a 03 cavalier i beat to hell running it hard and it lasted longer then this

 

yea but better happen now then at 34k. then you would of had to replace the motor yourself!

 

extended warrenty here :P

 

what did that run ya? and when does it expire?
