Engine died while driving at 55 MPH. Pulled over to the side of the road and tried to start vehicle, but it would not turn over. When driver side door was opened, I noticed a large puddle that smelled like gasoline. Looked under vehicle and saw that gas was still leaking out. Vehicle was towed to nearest chevrolet dealership. Dealer found fuel filter retaining clip had come loose. While at the dealership they also replaced 4wd switch. It had been switching to 4hi and 4lo while in a4wd. Not even two days later, the car again died while driving along at 55 MPH. Engine would not turn over, so vehicle was towed to dealership it was bought from. When dealership service tried to start the car it cranked once then a sound like free spinning was apparent. When the spark plugs were removed broken pieces of piston and ring were found inside the engine and the spark plugs were smashed. Engine was replaced.

Engine stalled while in heavy rush hour traffic at 55 MPH. Pulled to shoulder, attempted to restart engine. Every time we tried to start car, fuel pump engaged and gas sprayed under vehicle...creating a large puddle of fuel.
