2012 GMC SIERRA 1500 Engine Problems

P0521 has been addressed/replaced almost nine (9) times. “Low Oil Pressure-Stop Engine” is another one that is not completely functional. The truck is using oil but we cant find evidence of leakage. Services performed at dealership or certified shop. Troubleshooting was performed, Im told. I cant vouch for the quality of the workmanship. This should not be an issue at this mileage 100,100 ohe hundred thousand miles and oil components going bad is not good. GMC has sold me a truck that needs a new engine component. Please help.

Lifter Failure: I was traveling to a State Park in Northern Michigan when my engine starting running very rough with major power loss. My check engine light activated, and I pulled over as soon as I could. It was dangerous because I was pulling a camper and I had to drive well under the speed limit. The Certified Chevy Dealership discovered a collapsed lifter and Cam damage. They considered this as catastrophic engine failure, and I was completely shocked as the vehicle had roughly 129k miles on it. There was no indication of failure prior to this incident as the vehicle ran perfect. I am very disappointed in GM as I have a co-worker with the same year truck that had the exact same issue shortly after I did. A friend of mine also had this happen with a 2014 vehicle of same make and model. It appears that this...

Lags when accelerating. Does not happen every time. Causes safety issues when in heavy traffic. The below date is when it started. It happens very regularly.

ON 26MAR2017 I NOTICED A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM MY VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 27MAR2017 AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW FLYWHEEL. I WANTED A SECOND OPINION BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A FLYWHEEL GOING BAD IN MY LIFE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A FEW MECHANICS WE ALL AGREED THAT IT WAS NOT THE FLYWHEEL. ON 4APR I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE TICKING WAS THE FLYWHEEL. THE FLYWHEEL HAD TO HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE AT TIME OF MANUFACTURING. IT JUST CRACKED FOR NO GOOD REASON OTHER THAN IT WAS POORLY MADE. 2012 GMC SIERRA 1500 FLYWHEEL JUST CRACKED OUT OF NOWHERE ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF AN ENTIRE FAMILY AND WHO KNOWS WHO ELSE IF IT HAD SHATTERED.THE VEHICLE WAS TICKING AFTER A MORNING START WHILE SITTING IDLE.
