WE HAVE A 2007 SUBURBAN WITH THE 5.3L ENGINE. AFTER, MUCH RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, MY WIFE AND I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE EVIDENTLY IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE AFM LIFTERS. OUR VEHICLE DOES HAVE MILES, BUT SINCE THIS EVIDENTLY IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, WE DID THINK CHEVROLET WOULD AT LEAST OFFER SOME ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIR. A LIFTER COLLAPSED AND THE COST TO REPLACE THE LIFTERS IS $3,500.00, PLUS TAX AT TOM GILL CHEVROLET IN FLORENCE, KY. I DON'T BLAME THE DEALER FOR THIS, BUT CHEVROLET HAS REALLY DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS ISSUE FOR MANY, MANY VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO BETTER PROTECT THE CONSUMER.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED, THE DAY I GOT IT HOME IT SUDDENLY HAD NO OIL PRESSURE. CHEVY DEALERSHIP PUT A "PATCH" ON ITS BOO-BOO AND SENT ME HOME. NOW AT 140,000 MILES I ONCE AGAIN HAVE NO OIL PRESSURE. CHEVY SAYS I NEED A NEW ENGINE AND OF COURSE I'M NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. APPROXIMATE COST $6,700. THIS VEHICLE LEFT ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TWICE. I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THE EXACT SAME ISSUE (SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL) I'M HAVING AND CHEVROLET HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS DEFECTIVE MOTOR. THE COMPANY RETURNED CORRESPONDENCE WITH ME AND INFORMED ME THAT THEIR "CALCULATOR" SAYS THEY CANNOT OFFER ME ANY ASSISTANCE. I NOW HAVE A 4 MONTH OLD SON AND OVER A FOOT OF SNOW EXPECTED IN MY AREA OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. WHAT HAPPENS IF HE IS SICK AND I HAVE NO MEANS TO GET HIM TO A DOCTOR BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE CHEVROLET WON'T OWN UP TO? *TR
