“I bought a Chevrolet van Express with a 6.0 v8 engine a year ago with only 37000 miles. Approximately 2 months after purchase, I began having trouble with the engine and stabilitrak system in addition to the low beam headlight failure detailed below same across the entire v8 6.0 engines produced by Chevrolet. The van vehicle shook violently stressing all the occupants. While traveling on the highway my check engine and traction light illuminated simultaneously. I was also alerted that engine power was reduced and my vehicle shut down two times in a 30 minute span of time. …”
