Warnings problem #1

I went and got an alignment,a day after the stabilitrak and traction control message came on. I went back to see if it could be fix it and was told it didn't come on when they test drove it. The same day it came on again, so I went to a GMC dealership. I was told my steering wheel pos sensor is bad. I was in motion on a city street,going and coming from work(happens in same exact spot on the street(s). This is my only form of transportation and what I need to do.

Adaptive Cruise Control problem #2

On or about 10-14-2020 I had got a call from my niece that she was at a parking lot and the truck didn't want to run the same. She was passing a intersection when she heard a very loud pop noise and a very scary noise coming from the engine. The noise did shack her some but when she notices the truck had lost its power she was more scare that she was going to get hit by a other car came out to be the lifters and camshaft . Where they been having class actsions law suits with gm motors for the same problem with other GMC year from 2009-2015 5. 3 vortex engins and GMC knew about it before the sold the very first truck its a $10,000. 00 dallors repair and with the bank finance I will be paying more then 25,000. 00 after cost and this truck blue book its at 15,000. 00 last time I check it so its not worth putting so much more money for that year of truck. I had tryed to work things out with the dealership as well with gm motors and had no luck or even a call back from both sides. I ask that if you can investigate this matter some more I will gladly appreciate it. Thank you for your time.
