WHEN VARIABLE TIMING OF VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN TWO CYLINDERS, SWITCHING TRUCK FROM V6 TO V4 WITH RPM'S AT OR BELOW 1,500K, THE TRUCK BEGINS TO MISS/SHUTTER. THIS OCCURS AND ON ROAD TYPE, ANY WEATHER CONDITION. AT TIMES THE VIBRATIONS OF THIS MISS/SHUTTER CAN BE A BIT VIOLENT. IF FURTHER ACCERATE TO FORCE THE TRUCK BACK INTO V6 MODE, THE ISSUE RESOLVES ITSELF BUT AS SOON AS THE TRUCK SWITCHES BACK TO V4 MODE, THE PROBLEMS BEGINS AGAIN IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK AT DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT 5 TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. INSTEAD, THE TECHNICIANS CONTINUE TO PERFORM UNRELATED WORK ITEMS THAT DO NOT ALLEVIATE THE REAL ISSUE. UPON MY LAST SERVICE FOR THE ISSUE I WAS INFORMED THAT "GM DOESN'T CURRENTLY HAVE A SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM" AND THAT ALL OF THE SERVICE WORK THAT THE TECHNICIANS CONTINUE TO PERFORM IS "NOTHING MORE THAN A WAY TO TRY TO MASK THE SYMPTOMS SO THAT YOU DON'T NOTICE IT." UPON RESEARCHING, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE HAS ARISEN IN MULTIPLE GM TRUCKS. THE LONG TERM AFFECTS, WHICH ARE UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME, ARE A CONCERNING.

WITH APPROXIMATELY 7800 MILES ON IT, MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND I WAS CROSSING A HIGHWAY WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED TO STUTTER AND LOST POWER. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY AN ONCOMING SEMI WHILE CROSSING THE ROAD. I NARROWLY MISSED GETTING HIT, THE SEMI DRIVER SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES AND HONKED AT ME AS IF I HAD DONE SOMETHING WRONG. I PROMPTLY PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND NOTICED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I BROUGHT IT TO MY LOCAL SHOP WHERE THEY HAD DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAULTY LIFTER. THIS IS A PREVALENT ISSUE ON MANY CHEVROLET/GMC ENGINES AS THERE ARE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS RELEASED ON THIS. I HAVE ATTACHED AN OLDER (2016) TECH SERVICE BULLETIN, BUT THERE IS AN UPDATED ONE WITH THE FOLLOWING PART NUMBER: 15-06-01-002F. I WOULD LIKE GM TO STEP UP AND ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS AS THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY CONCERN.
