Consumer Description

Possible cam shaft or lifter failure. The engines power greatly reduced speed and sputtered which significantly slowed the vehicle down and could have caused and accident. It has been inspected by a certified GMC service shop. There was a check engine light on and it was supposed to be all fuel injectors, that didn't solve the problem the shop kept on digging and digging and said that they don't know if it is the cam or lifter. It is my understanding that this is a very common issue amongst these vehicles and puts alot of people upside down and out of a vehicle due to this issues. The service shop said that a new engine would cost up to $20k and it could take 4 weeks to 4 months to get the new engine in. They are back ordered because so many people are going through this issue. The service shop also said that they didn't know exactly when the engine would come in.
