Dt: while driving on the interstate at 76 MPH the vehicle was stalled, and the engine cut off. The owner had to pull over and restart it. Vehicle started back up, and died twice after that within 40 miles. The owner stated that there was no check engine light. The owner called onstar and they didn't see a problem. The owner stated vehicle lost power steering and brakes when the engine cut off. The car was taken to the dealership, and they could not duplicate problem. The owner contacted chevrolet, and they stated that they will look into the problem, and advised the owner to call back today. The problem happened since last year. The owner was still driving, it but did not want the car anymore since it was not safe to drive.

There is a very obvious pop/ping, almost like a bell like sound that is coming from the underside of the vehicle. This happens when the vehicle has been driven for a while and the sound can be heard during idle or immediately after the car has been turned off.

Loud popping/pinging noises coming from exhaust system when car is in idle position or when car has been turned off. Dealership replaced muffler but problem started again about 3 weeks later. Gm states it is a known problem, but there is currently not a fix for it. Says it is definitely the exhaust system.
