Consumer Description

On my way to work a few days ago I noticed a lag while driving and a knocking feeling/sound ever few seconds going highway speeds. No engine light came on to warn or tell of an issue. I thought maybe it was just a section of roadway that makes cars ride rough. Anyway, made it to work and I could hear a whining sound every time I gave vehicle gas and RPMs increased. We called our GM dealer and he said it’s a known issue of collapsing lifters and to bring it in for repair. Vehicle had around 5900 miles. 20% oil life was left. I checked oil and level was fine. I’m in a loaner now waiting for repair. If it’s a known issue, why is it happening. Inferior parts or bad design? A recall needs to happen before someone gets hurt.
