Vehicle shut down and turned off while being operated. No warning lights were on at any point before the incident. I was driving down the road and without warning, it just turned off. My safety as well as the safety of the drivers on the road around me were compromised by this sudden failure as the vehicle was in motion when the incident occurred and I was unable to properly operate the vehicle. When I tried to re-start the vehicle the engine would not turn over and several warning lights were suddenly on. Vehicle was towed to dealership and the service department said the timing chain jumped and the engine needs to be replaced. Multiple complaints have been made against GM for the faulty 2.4L Ecoboost Engine that causes excessive oil consumption with no appropriate monitoring or warning system in place leading to timing chain issues/failure that destroys the engine without warning, often while the vehicle is being operated. No recall has been made and no warning is given to customers who purchase vehicles with these engines. I have owned this vehicle less than a year and the repair invoice I was given quotes over $10,000.

I was out of town and had gone to the store and when I got back in my vehicle and it would not start. After, letting it sit for 4 hours it finally cranked up. The battery and fuses were fine. No lights came in on my dash as a warning that something was wrong. This has happened to me before. A diagnostic was run and it throwed out no codes.

I been changing my oil every 2000 miles however engine oil stays low; several sensor malfunctioned stating that the throttle position sensor, camshaft sensor, and crankshaft sensor was bad but in fact it was the engine. While at the repair shop to replace the camshaft sensor because the vehicle wouldn't start I learned that the engine locked and had to be replaced the engine due to low to no oil in the engine but in fact I got the oil change 2-3 months ago
