With only 79,600 miles the engine began misfiring. We took it to 2 independent mechanics and were told the lifters needed to be replaced causing $5600 in repairs. We were followed all the recommended oil changes and maintenance. After investigating it we discovered this engine failure was known to GMC as it has effected several other GMC truck engines manufactured between 2011 and 2014.
Bad lifter causes engine failure at 100,006 miles. Engine had to be replaced. Transmission has extremely hard shifts from park to reverse, and slips between 5th and 6th. Doesn't throw any codes so dealer says it's fine. But it's obviously ruining itself. Reading all these transmissions complaints I can't believe it's not recalled.
