At the time I recall a warning message that said something like \"engine shutdown\".  Fortunately the electronic transmission self-shifted into neutral so the car could coast to a stop.  Had it not done this a loss of control would have been likely at this speed.  The vehicle was towed to the local Chevrolet dealer in Bozeman, Montana (Resseler Chevrolet) where it was confirmed the next day the engine had seized.  The dealer is currently replacing the seized engine with a replacement long block.  The dealership currently has the engine and is planning to ship it back to Chevrolet or GM for tear down and inspection.  They are also replacing the radiator and all coolant hoses as a precaution.  Two weeks prior I took the vehicle to the same Chevrolet dealer complaining that on one day the engine shut off four times within 1 mile. Each time it displayed a warning message that said \"restart engine\", which it did each time.  I also complained about a ticking noise that began in the engine at 12,000 mile.  The dealer reported that the engine sounded fine and that they could not reproduce the engine shutting off on its own.  This engine was NOT part of the large L87 recall.  At time of purchase I was told by the selling dealer (Kendall Chevrolet in Maryville, Washington) and the local dealer (Resseler) that the engine was assembled after assembly line procedure were put in place to avoid the same issues as the recall engine. I've been and engineer for 46 years.  The problem with this engine is not the assembly line, it is the never before used tight moving component tolerances and the water thin oil demanded by the manufacturer.  The design shortcomings are compounded by systems such as cylinder deactivation and auto stop that significantly acceleration engine component wear.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2024","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"SUBURBAN","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]}]}
