Well this sucks. 😡9k on the ODO and delaer service tech just called and they are assuming a total motor failure. He did not go into detail but said the tech dropped the oil pan and found metal debris everywhere. They arranged a rental/loaner and are currently in process with GM on course of action, lkely full motor replacement.

A week or so back I noted an odd noise coming from the engine bay. Sounded like a rattling noise on light exceleration that would go away after warm-up. It's been extremely cold lately so I didn't think much of it then went into reduced acceleration mode on the way home from work along with a check engine light. Parked it over the weekend and brought it to the dealer first thing. Went to limp mode again on they way to the dealer then wouldn't start after I parked it to speak with the service advisor.

Had it at the same dealer back in September for it's 1st oil change and everyhting was pretty great up until this happened. Purchased new in April '24, 100% stock. Obviously dissapointed and will update thread on progress.

Sorry to hear, definitely keep us all posted as you might be the first one reporting catastrophic 3.0 failure on this forum (unless I missed it). Hopefully they are able to get one in and swapped asap. Glad to hear they’ve got you a loaner as well.

Yep same happened to my 2022.5 LM2
Dealer said and I quote at 4k miles shinnies in the oil is normal but we should do an oil change. Lol . It was 3 quarts low I told them.
Lost the turbo 3 times...and at 8400 it was 3 quarts low again. I was going to lemon law the thing and the dealer agreed to work with me.
Lost 20 grand.. Gotta love it 😂🤣😭🤔
