$7042 was the cost charged by the dealer to fix the lifter problem. When I brought it in, there was just a small noise that had just started. The service rep made it sound like the car wasn't going to be drivable for long. They made it sound like I would be totally irresponsible if I didn't get it fixed right away. Then they told me once the lifters break, they will do the same thing again.
They charged me almost half the value of the vehicle to fix it! If this happens to a whole list of vehicles (according to the dealer) why didn't GMC recall the vehicles and fix it? Well, I was told they do not have a permanent fix which is why it will happen again and they can't recall the vehicles and fix them permanently.
This is crazy! How do we know the newer models will work properly? My vehicle was maintained - never missing a scheduled service - by the dealer. Now I heard from another dealer that the problem is caused by poor maintenance running bad/dirty oil etc. They really just don't seem to know.
SOOOOOO, to keep my vehicle, I paid $7042j once - and do I just WAIT to do it again? SO FRUSTTRATNG!!!!
