ENGINE
Vehicle has less than 10,000 miles. Started making a loud noise and shuddering in the engine while at speed on the highway. Made it to dealer but was concerned we were going to break down before making it safely there. Service manager strongly suspects engine lifters (he drove it briefly with me and says this is a known issue with this truck & they currently have 3 other trucks in the shop with this same problem. He said parts are a 3-4 month wait and vehicle is not driveable, will break down, but couldn’t say when - could be 10 minutes, an hour, or a day. This happened to me on 2/1/22, while out of town on vacation. An hour on the phone with GM and was passed around to 3 different individuals. GM would not provide a loaner vehicle - leaving me stranded out of state. I had to get a rental vehicle on my own, GM claims they will reimburse me for a portion of this after 6-8 weeks. GM will not tow the vehicle home to Virginia (vehicle is in NC). I had to turn in rental car once I returned home because I can’t afford to keep paying for this on my own and it’s not a truck, which I depend on. Dealer is unable to fully diagnosis and document until end of week 2/7 or early week 2/14 as they are very busy. Unacceptable on ALL levels.
