Consumer Description

ROD BEARINGS FOR CYLINDERS 1 AND 2 FAILED DUE TO LACK OF LUBRICATION WITH RECOMMENDED AMOUNT OF OIL IN THE VEHICLE. GMC IS NOT INTERESTED IN FINDING THE ROOT CAUSE. THEY HAVE INSINUATED THAT WE RAN THE VEHICLE WITHOUT OIL BUT CAN NOT EXPLAIN WHY BEARINGS FOR CYLINDERS 3-6 SHOW NO SIGNS OF LACK OF LUBRICATION. GM IS NOT OFFERING ANY ASSISTANCE ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE IS BARELY BEYOND WARRANTY.
