Vehicle restarted after multiple attempts, but engine would not exceed 3000 rpm causing unsafe speed on highway. Engine died again causing total power loss. I was able to coast down the hill to safely park out of the way of traffic. Tow truck was needed. Vehicle was towed to dealer where it was purchased. After inspection, the engine was confirmed to have failed. The dealer advised for engine replacement as part of the L87 recall.

It was dismissed as a fluke since it did not occur f...
