2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Engine Problems

Your engine light came on and the truck stalled frequently, requiring a stop. The first time, two valve lifters failed at 41,786 miles and you paid out of pocket for replacement. The problem happened again at 46,000 miles due to faulty parts, but warranty covered that repair. It happened a third time at 59,000 miles with both side lifters failing, and your mechanic recommended a full engine replacement since the lifters keep failing. The repair is costing $15,300 and GM has not provided assistance. The fix will involve replacing the valve lifters or potentially the entire engine if damage has spread.
