Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
After remotely starting my truck, I was met with a strange noise that was both noticeable and unprecedented. The certified Chevy dealership provided three different estimates for tearing down the engine to verify the faulty lifter. Unfortunately, the dealer and warranty provider are unwilling to accept that these issues are inherent to the AFM system. Given the vehicle's relatively low mileage of 89,000 miles, such repairs seem premature.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
The six speed transmission 6L80 failed with less then 60k miles and before it's first service due at 72k miles, I have already had the transmission repaired so the original transmission components are not available for inspection. My transmission failed when I was driving across the Coronado bridge in San Diego CA. This bridge has no shoulders to safely pull over. I had my truck towed to Cummings Chevrolet in National City CA. and they confirmed the transmission needed replacing. Yes the check engine light did come on but it was already too late to save the transmission.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
My truck is a 2017, but only has 46,000 miles on it. The engine light came on and it started banding loudly. I lost power and it would not go over 30 miles per hour. The dealer informed me the lifter failed and destroyed the cam shaft. Upon research, I have discovered this is a problem for many of the 5.3 engines. Many people are stuck now. I realize I have no warrantee, but I take excellent care of the truck and it only has 46,000 miles on it. It should not need a new motor, especially if it is due to a defect from GM. They knew about this issue and are doing nothing. I am now faced with an $11,000 quote for a new engine. This is wrong on so many levels.
