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

"The vehicle has developed a recurring ticking/knocking noise in the engine, worsening under acceleration, accompanied by excessive oil consumption. This is a repeat issue after a warranty repair on June 6, 2022, where all 8 lifters on the right bank were replaced due to AFM/DFM lifter failure. I believe the current problem is caused by metal debris from the initial failure scoring cylinder walls, rings, and bearings, leading to lower-end damage. GM denied coverage under Special Coverage Adjustment N242498000 despite the prior repair and matching symptoms in bulletin PIP5623. Johnson Motor Sales quoted $14,893.89 for engine replacement. The noise and oil loss pose a safety risk of sudden engine failure or loss of power while driving, potentially causing a crash."
