I just went through the same thing 3 weeks ago with my 2015 , driving car on highway and bam, all the lights come on , engine is missing , and the vibration is so bad I felt like I was on a rumble strip .....
Get it towed to dealership on Saturday then I get the phone call , valve spring broke , valve dropped into cylinder, destroyed head , cracked cylinder
Rick Hendrick Buford GA was absolutely great to deal with , after two weeks , car came back without even a finger print on it running great
$14,000 in parts later ... the good news , I have a brand new motor , the bad news is I have a brand new motor in a corvette ....
And I know more folks that have had thier motor replaced because of catastrophic failure ....

If your motor is still running it's fine,
