Vehicle sputters on the highway sometimes shuts off at highway speed, when I turn my key off the car continues to run for 3-5 seconds. When I turn a corner vehicle sputters and tries to die sometimes does. When stopped at a stop sign vehicle will die. High pressure fuel pumps are known to do this and I have excess fuel in my oil.

11/9/2020 the engine light came on and the car randomly died so I had to have it towed to the dealership. They replaced both intake and cam sol valves , replaced the exhaust manifold, both ho2 sensors, heat shield, cat converter and high pressure fuel pump. This was all done at 121617 miles. Had no issues until 125,400 on 2/3/2021 the car randomly died while driving but I made it to work. On the way to get it checked out it made a loud noise and died resulting in being pulled out of the street and to the shop. They informed me that the timing chain came apart and the engine now needs to be replaced. It's 400 miles out of the extended warranty and the repairs in november totaled $3023.17 of which I had to pay $1,100 and now the car is inoperable and they want $7000 to install a new engine. I have found since this happened that this is a common problem that gm is aware of with the 4 cylinder engine. I kept up with oil changes and used synthetic oil

There are several issues with this vehicle which makes me think this car was a lemon, unreported by original owner, or in a flood; 1st, the rear hatch struts were totally rusted out and inoperable (reinforcing my flood thought.) 2nd, the vehicles mpg is nowhere near the advertised 22/32 - I mentioned my concern several times to the service dept, the sales man, and the certified sale manager; their solution - they reset the gauge on the dashboard! 3rd, within days of my purchase, I noticed a knock under my car that sounded like an axle was going to bust through my floorboard it was knocking so hard! After numerous service repair attempts & visits back to the dealer, one visit lasting approximately 7 days, they think they've fixed the problem. Secondary fuel tank fuel pump module - (contributing to fuel consumption issue?) 4th, the windshield wipers stopped working while I was driving to work, in the fast lane, @ 6am one dark, rainy morning, during a torrential down pour almost causing a major pile up! 5th, check engine light, stumbles and misfires on acceleration, shuts off when stopped at a stop sign or traffic light. Repaired/several hundred dollars later. 6th, the continuing issues have been, but not limited to reduced engine power, rough idle, engine sputters, hesitates, poor gas mileage, & excessive oil consumption. 7th, another check engine light, now fuel-injectors need replaced (another contributor to fuel consumption issue?) . After further review of the vehicle's cpo paperwork, this is not the certified vehicle being referred to on the paperwork. There are items checked off on the report that do not apply to this vehicle. I would have never overpaid for a cpo vehicle had I know their "rigorous standards" meant absolutely nothing! I have bought many cars in my life, both new and used cars and never had any of the issues I am having with this vehicle!

We live in california and the carb fuel pump nozzles are cumbersome beasts. But the nozzle pops out of the fuel filler when placed on auto-fill at 4 out of 5 gas stations. It's dangerous when it pops out and falls on the ground sometimes pumping gas all over. I took the terrain to the dealer and of cource they can't find anything wrong with it. What gives and what's the fix?
