[QUOTE="AllFlash, post: 68604, member: 2168"] Folks, there is no denial that there have been blown engines with the C7. A thread was started on CF and within a day there were 3 blown engines by posters on that thread. As well, there is another that 'apparently' had it prepped for track, had it blow at the track and has had little success getting assistance from GM. There are yet others that deal with the engine, all 14/15's. One guy on CF had his car replaced and then posted piks of the torn apart engine of his new car. Another was at a stop light, the light turned green, he accelerated and the engine blew. These are all 'in addition to' the Car and Driver engine(s) that blew. Am I concerned? Well... to me, the biggest concern is how we seem to class a blown motor in a new car in with recalls which is being done everywhere. This is what seems to be transpiring and the answer in many of the threads is to compare GM recalls to other vehicles. I want to feel comfortable when I take a trip down south knowing there arent any problems with my engine, expecially after buying a 100K car. Right now... I will just see how the threads fan out and pray they dont keep growing as they seem to be on other sites. At least I have until next Spring to watch how this model year pans out. If it is a problem of concern...we will all know soon enough I think.
