general problems of the 2013 GMC Sierra 1500

On 9-12-25 I was pulling a utility trailer when I went to back it in the driveway my 2013 GMC 1500 5. 3 stalled . I restarted it only to have a lifter claddering !!!! I checked the oil it was good ! oil pressure was good not over heating . It is just the lifter!!!!!! after doing some investigating I found that this is a common problem with gm's 5. 3 with the afm system!!! companies should be held accountable for fraudulent designs!!! this is not the first time for gm screwing consumers!!! gm had a similar situation back in the 70s and 80s Cadillac!!!! I bought this truck from a gm dealer with 67000 miles only drove it in 1 winter it now has 149900 miles!!!! 5 years !!! change oil and filter every 3000-4000 miles ,use mobile 5w- 30w !!!! I feel a recall should be made to hold gm accountable for what they new was a problem but produced and screwed consumers to make sales !!!!!!!!!!!!! ask any quality repair facility that works on gm's or even auto parts personal. When it stalled it left me in the middle of the road with traffic!!! even if it did start right back up !! clacking!! the cost is unbearable!!!!!!.
