NHTSA Complaint #11654861 — 2022 GMC SIERRA 1500

I heard a knocking noise in my engine on 4/13/25 and took it to a dealer to diagnose on 4/15/25. I had previously had to have the engine rebuilt due a collapsed lifter at 70,000 miles and I was concerned that the noise was a precursor to a repeat of that problem. Instead, the dealer informed me that problem was a failed connector rod bearing and would require a replacement engine. The service manager said my truck was not safe to drive since it could experience a sudden catastrophic failure on the highway. The truck has 80,000 miles and has been serviced at every single required interval by the original selling dealer. There was no check engine light warning.
