So my 2018 redline camaro 2SS recently got destroyed I was driving about 30-35 MPH and while I was driving my car got disabled huge clouds of white smoke started coming from the exhaust the car shut down they locked my brake pedal and gas pedal while I was still on the highway I got stuck in the middle of a tunnel with incoming traffic coming at about 40-50 MPH and oil started coming from the exhaust leaking going into the engine don't know what exactly happened my car is currently stock any ideas on what may have happened guys?? Also caused 2 major car accidents because of all the oil on the road and I was stuck in the tunnel with cars trying to swerve out of the way my car is black so it wasn't easy to see 😥😥😪😪

Yikes. Any more info? Recent maintenance on the car (oil change?)? Mileage? Transmission? Good news is you're OK, hopefully the other drivers are too.

Hmmmm....I've read some incredibly sad Camaro stories here on the forum, but yours is a bonified real live nightmare! Sorry to hear that happened to your brand new 2SS or 1LT?

Can you post a pic of this car? I'm sure you snapped one and probably the oil slick.

If that really happened, I am sorry to hear that, but the story feels like a total fabrication to me. 30-35mph on a highway... car stalled and caused several accidents due to an oil slick in a dark tunnel.. user name is 1LT redline, but car being described is an SS redline..

Stranger things have happened though.

Edit: Sincere apologies for doubting you! Where's the foot in mouth icon..
