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.

3 Engine Failure problem of the 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 05/01/2019

Cylinder #4 has failed. Several mechanics have stated that they see several of these failures with engines equipped or programmed with the active fuel management systems. My engine failure occurred under normal circumstances, 55mph on a farm to market road transitioning from flat roads onto a slight rise when the vehicle started running very noticeably rough. I pulled over and the engine unbalance was very apparent.

4 Engine Failure problem of the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 04/01/2019

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.
