UNBELIEVABLE. I was driving down the highway when all of a sudden my traction control came on. I then slowed down to about 45 and pulled into the right hand lane. At that point the engine completely seized and I lost all power. I pulled over and then smoke starting billowing out of the engine. I then left the car as fire was beginning to come out of the front driverside of the engine. Within 3 minutes the complete front end was completely engulfed in flames. Thankfully I got away uninjured.
Since I still owed slightly more than the car is worth I have to get a new car from scratch. Trying to scrounge up a couple thousand dollars at this point in time is impossible. I would NEVER recommend a GM car to ANYBODY!
