After reading all the other reports, I realize three things now , 1- that I am not alone, 2- that Chevy knew there was a problem with the engine in the 2008 and has done nothing to compensate their customers (us) and finally, that I will never purchase another GM product again!.. (damn..!!! because the 2018 Tahoe RST was on my Christmas list) OH WELL.
Back in October of 2017 I was taking my daughter to school and when we reached , my oil pressure monitor just out of no where came on, the needle took a nose dive and my vehicle started to stall (driving really slow), check engine light came on and read turn off vehicle. Long story short- had it towed from in front of her school in front of all of her friends- over 50 miles from the school to the nearest dealership, missed work etc..
Mechanic said I needed entire engine replaced and would cost over $6,000.00 (not to include water pump). No warranty and my insurance company would not cover because the problem wasn't caused by an accident. I ended up replacing the entire engine for 5 grand and change because my parts were still in good shape. I don't care what it costs GM, they should do right by their customers and recall the CAMSHAFTS and/or warranty any other KNOWN defect in the engine. Dealerships would rather not take apart the engine to repair it, so they force you to buy a rebuild.
