Default 2019 Suburban Engine Shut Off on Test Drive!

I took the new 2019 Chevrolet Suburban Premier for a test drive and the engine turned off as I was getting off the freeway. It still had power and all the lights were on but the engine stopped running. I tried stepping on the gas and had zero response. Fortunately I was close enough to the shoulder and pulled over before being rear ended.


I put the car into park and turned the engine back on. The engine started up like normal and I cautiously made my way back to the dealership. The salesman was just as surprised as I was and said they would take a look at it. Hopefully this was just a rare glitch because it only had 12 miles on it and it had less than a quarter tank of gas.

"Take a look at it" means nothing. Most car salesmen are not mechanically inclined. Please do not take possesion of a vehicle that could have gotten you killed.

I dont give a damn what make and model it was, just walk away.. These stupid fuel mileage laws and overseas parts are getting people killed no matter what the manufacturer..
