I tried calling the dealership i left a voicemail but no call back as of yet. I am finding out that gm will not recall the common breaking problem with these bolts.

Bought the truck in april, 2016 and now have a constant knock from engine. I was told it is probably the lifters. I did research to find many others having issues with lifters on vehicles that have the afm/dod which controls fuel and cylinder use when at steady highway speeds. I travel by highway to and from work. I still owe $17,000 on this truck. It is my only means of transportation.

While driving the vehicle will alert "stabilitrack off" and then moments later "engine power reduced". You are then forced to immediately pull over and turn off the vehicle for at least 1 minute before turning it back on. This can happen on roads where it is dangerous to pull over putting myself and others at risk for an accident. The transmission has been replaced and no other auto shop has an answer for me as to…
