Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE ABOUT 70MPH AND THE CAR STARTED SPUTTERING AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON AND I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS GOING TO STALL AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF ON TO THE SHOULDER AND LOOK UNDER THE HOOD. I THOUGHT IT WAS A BAD SPARKPLUG OR SOMETHING. I HOOKED UP A OBD READER AND GOT CODE P0306. GOT IT TOWED TO FIRESTONE AND THEY DID DIAGNOSTICS. THEY SAID IT WAS A FAILED LIFTER, A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH GM VEHICLES. THE TICKING NOISE THAT IT WAS MAKING WAS FROM THE FAILED LIFTER. I AM HOPING THE CAMSHAFT IS NOT DAMAGED EITHER.
