Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Car initially wouldn't start, would only turn over. car would die in traffic at highway speeds with no warning requiring trying to coast to a safe place out of traffic if possible with a severe potential to be hit from behind even with hazard lights on. car towed to chev dealership. dealership replaced intake manifold gasket. tech said gasket was leaking causing engine to hydrolock. third time driving the car since repair, car died in traffic again on freeway. car is setting at dealership again waiting for technician to diagnose since obviously the $1200 repair just completed didn't solve the problem. *tr
