CarComplaints.com Notes: Engines shouldn't need a new quart of oil every 500-1000 miles, but for thousands of Suburban owners that's exactly what's happening. Engine oil consumption on aluminum block engines with Active Fuel Management (AFM) is out of control and owners are left looking for answers.
The most likely culprit is an uncovered AFM valve which, in many cases, can be covered under warranty. The problem is the issues don't stop there and many owners have been told by GM just to buy a new engine. Take one guess who they want to pick up the tab.

IT IS REALLY HARD TO JUDGE THE DISTANCE OF A CARS COMING UP ON YOUR SIDE WHEN IT IS SHAKING. IT WAS REALLY NERVE RACKING THE SAD THING IS THAT IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. SO I GUESS IT WILL GO IN AGAIN TO GET FIXED. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS ME AND THEN I REALIZED IT WASN'T AFTER I DROVE ANOTHER SUV. IT'S NOT YOUR EYE SIGHT

Try pressing the button to retrack the mirrors a couple of times, this is not a permanent fix,you may need to do it every six months.
