vehicle has been to the dealership many times for issues with the engine and burning oil, we have brought it in to chevy wallace dealer for all this and have paperwork for all this, however torque convertor has been replaced 2x in one year due to faulty parts. the dealeership finally told us that the afm lifters cause the engine to go and needed a engine replacement. my wife has been so upset over this matter because she loved the truck. all this has been inspected by dealer so many times and we kept geting the run around. we had multiple check engine lights and misfire codes. then the last straw was when the engine had a horrible knocking noise which we have on video.now that she traded the truck in because dealer said it was not covered under warranty because it lapsed by 1 month we had to get a different vheicle due to knowbody helping us and now were screwed with a insane payment. we have been dealing with this for a few years and no help from chevy even with a extended warranty that covered it all. i am not asking for the world but chevy has to be responible for something. my wife really needs help with this we lost a damn nice truck and want some kind of compinsation for it

We recently had a brand new engine installed In our truck that only had 70k miles and only 7 years old due to white smoke coming out of tail pipe. The day after receiving the truck back after having the brand new engine installed the truck was not operating properly then gave me a bunch of warnings and then the brakes wouldn’t work and the steering wouldn’t work. I informed the dealership that installed the brand new engine and they had the truck towed back to their shop just to look at it for 3 days and proceed to tell me there was no issues they could find. Picked the truck back up just to have the same issue happen not even a month later. I was able to document the warnings and issues while they were happening and provided those to the dealership when we drop it off for the second time after getting a brand new $13k engine installed. If you would like the video I captured of the warnings I will happily send them.
