Lifter Failure 2021 Tahoe 16,000 miles

[Tahoe_RST_2021]

It is funny that Onstar Notifications emails me if my tire pressure is low or my oil life is 30 % but did not let me know my lifters would fail at 16,000 miles and leave my wife and daughters stranded.

I will say that Pete Moore Chevrolet in Pensacola, FL did replace the lifters under warranty with no charge to me within 4 days. I just hope the new lifters last more than 16,000 miles.

That’s not good. I hope that doesn’t happen to me but it sounds like it’s a good possibility someday.

Just curious…did they replace all of the lifters or just one side? There’s some other posts on here where after 8,000 miles they replace only one side then it does the same thing after another 500-1,000 miles.

Also, do you know the build date on it? The month/year should be listed on a decal inside the driver’s door jam.

Pete Moore Chevrolet did replace all 8 lifters, cases, and a bent push rod.

The build date was Oct. 2020 and we purchased it Oct. 30, 2020.

Curious how those new lifters are doing? The dealership near me replaced them and then they failed within 100 miles!...so it's STILL in the dealership. I read them the riot act about what evidence I needed that "oh, bad batch sent to us" , "Oh, new batch being sent to us" not "I was right that the engine is bad..." This problem is WIDESPREAD! Lemon Law about to be engaged!
