Would $4.00 a gallon deter someone from buying a large SUV? How about $5.00 a gallon? Downsizing to an Aviator wouldn't be much of a fuel savings when the thing cost as much as a Tahoe. Is fuel cost even a factor when increased vehicle cost exceeds several years of fuel savings. Does economy...
Money managers are diverting money away from oil exploration and plowing trillions into green energy. But the day when this transition has a meaningful impact on oil demand being many years away some are forecasting dwindling oil reserves and higher prices. At some point oil exploration may...
The other day I stopped to look at a Suburban sitting on the lot and the salesman was chasing my Hoe as I was leaving. Rolled down the window and asked him if he knew of any problems with the new models, with a thoughtful expression he replied, nothing I've heard about.
I'm starting to see...
If they haven't solved the reason why these fail or done a correction it wouldn't make sense to remove the other head. Why replace lifters that might fail with other lifters that might fail.
GM probably knows the failure rates and has planned their strategy around those numbers. If the burning...
Still is a nice average. Were the conditions neutral or advantageous?
What type of suspension do you have? Are you normally critical of ride?
Sorry for sounding like an inquisitor I'm just trying to get a baseline for expectations.
Did GM replace all lifters or only the one that failed? I would like to see them replace all lifters and extend the engine warranty in situations such as yours. Perhaps you could insist on this at GM central. Best of luck to you from here on.
I had an issue once upon a time which they poo pooed. Went to the show room floor with customers doing paper work and raised my voice loud enough for everyone to hear, "When I bought this you said you would take care of any issues I had now you won't". They fixed it.
Trouble today is there...
Going by the past model 2025 should be safe to buy one of these. Funny how they get it right through incremental improvements thereby boosting confidence before crapping out another bomb.
GM doesn't cover design defects so owners shouldn't expect GM to fix these out of warranty. This was GM's defense concerning the burning oil issue, piston rings were designed poorly - no pay.
Edit, food for thought: GM's warranty doesn't cover design defects and has used this defense against...
