Consumer Description
There is an active recall for the 6.2 L engines, which is what I have and it’s an issue with burning oil and catastrophic engine failure due to rods and bearings. And I just got this vehicle in November and I have already went through 15 quarts of oil in two months so I’m waiting for my engine to blow up going down the road to cause a wreck like has happened to multiple vehicles already and I also have a rod knock now due to this issue so it could be any time now that my engine fails and I end up getting hurt or my family I took it to the Chevy dealership and I have called GM to do an oil consumption test and to put in a claim so that way if it does fail, then it has paperwork to follow, but it is a major safety concern but something needs to be done considering there’s already 600,000 recalls on this issue already there needs to be more for the rest of the people that are having this issue like myself and I’m spending $50,000 on this truck for the engines to fail and me end up dying before something‘s done. and it’s also very distracting as you’re driving down the road and your vehicle tells you that you’re low on all so you have to try to find a way to get off the highway to have someone bring you all so you can continue to drive and it’s not just a cordial. It is up to 5 quarts of all at a time.
