NHTSA Complaint #11544201 — 2018 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500

GM has produced millions of vehicles with the 5.3 motor with AFM,DOD,VVT issues. They are well aware of this issue. The factory defect causes the lifters to collapse causing catastrophic engine failure. This posses a hazard to consumers in traffic trying to navigate their stalled vehicles off the roadways. GM customer service is rude and dismissive, furthermore they offer no assistance to fix these problems. The issues with these motors is well documented and any repair shop/ dealership can confirm these issues. There is no indication from warning systems prior to this failure. However there are multiple Dash warning lights after the catastrophic failure occurs. The cost is passed to consumers to address these issues.
