ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
While highway driving on 4/8/2025, for the 3rd time in 3 months, engine light came on and I lost all control of my cruise control, parking brake disabled and loss of engine power immediately reducing my highway speed to approximately 50 mph which was very dangerous. I had to cautiously return home & called the Chevy dealer immediately. They had repaired the lifters twice before, with the most recent repair on the lifters and push rod just one month earlier. This second repair was covered under their repair warranty. Currently, it took about 10 days before a loaner car was available (after a poor google review). To date (4/30/2025) I have not received ANY feedback from the dealer (Starling Chevrolet in Mt. Pleasant, SC) regarding any repair or engine diagnosis. The symptoms of this third failure was just like the previous two failures (3 failures in 3 months!). I feel like this vehicle has Major issues as I have also had to have the radio/infotainment system replaced twice since the original purchase. PLEASE have Chevrolet do an engine recall on their 5.7 liter engine!!
Corrective Action:
While highway driving on 4/8/2025, for the 3rd time in 3 months, engine light came on and I lost all control of my cruise control, parking brake disabled and loss of engine power immediately reducing my highway speed to approximately 50 mph which was very dangerous. I had to cautiously return home & called the Chevy dealer immediately. They had repaired the lifters twice before, with the most recent repair on the lifters and push rod just one month earlier. This second repair was covered under their repair warranty. Currently, it took about 10 days before a loaner car was available (after a poor google review). To date (4/30/2025) I have not received ANY feedback from the dealer (Starling Chevrolet in Mt. Pleasant, SC) regarding any repair or engine diagnosis. The symptoms of this third failure was just like the previous two failures (3 failures in 3 months!). I feel like this vehicle has Major issues as I have also had to have the radio/infotainment system replaced twice since the original purchase. PLEASE have Chevrolet do an engine recall on their 5.7 liter engine!!

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
While traveling on a rural state highway, the #8 lifter bearing failed, causing the engine to lose considerable power and the dash light to come on. No advanced warning of engine problems was noticed prior. The transmission also went into limp mode not allowing the vehicle to shift gears. At the same time the ABS and ESC systems also went into a safety mode diminishing the stopping power of the vehicle. Upon inspection by a licensed mechanic it was discovered that the #8 lifter bearing and the camshaft were both damaged at that time. Total replacement cost was over 10k and it took almost 6 months to find a rebuilt L87 engine at that time because there was almost no supply available as a result of these engines having multiple failures nationwide

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
I just saw a recall for 2021-2024 vehicles for connecting rod/crankshaft engine components. I am not 100% sure that i have the same problem but my warning signs are the same. For example, there is a knocking sound in engin, it shifts abnormally and it hesitates and has reduced propulsion. I talked to several other Trail boss owners that had to have their Lifters repaired so maybe it is that? These problems are happening to everyone prior to even hitting 70k miles. I cannot afford to fix this if it is a problem that shouldnt be happening in the first place, due to crappy manufacturing.
