Consumer Description
I bought the vehicle (a Chevy Tahoe) brand new in 2021. After 7,000 miles the lifter in the motor broke. The top of the motor had to be rebuilt to accommodate a new lifter. Now, with 24,000 miles on the vehicle, another lifter just broke, so the motor has to be taken apart again. I am certain GM knows about this problem, as (the lifter issue) it is all over the internet, but GM will not issue a recall of the defective lifters. I would be very interested in joining a class action law suit to force GM to recall the defective (lifter) parts. In both instances when the lifters broke, there is no warning! The engine looses power and the vehicle "bucks and shakes". It is just a matter of time before this issues causes sever bodily harm because of this massive engine failure. I have all of the repair documentation.
