The dealer stated the 6.2L engine had a bearing failure. When driving on 12-24-24 to a family event the dash lights all lit up and the car shut off.

Even when the tow truck driver arrived, he stated there isn't a way…

The check engine light came on at 14k miles indicating there was an emissions error. The brakes squeal and have had to be replaced 3 times since the original purchase in March of 2024.
