The engine dies, sounds like a bad rod or lifter (like the engine is misfiring also). The engine dies, even at times after it's warmed up. Squealing noises can be heard (like a belt or pully /alternator motor/ is rusty/ or needs lubrication. I have not even driven this truck except once, to pick it up as a delivery from a dealership in Houston, TX. Not looking forward to dealing with getting it repaired.

    This is scary. Sure they look great, they're powerful and have all the fancy technology inside, but a critical engine failure at only 3K miles is unacceptable. I'm afraid this is just the beginning of what owners of these trucks are going to have to deal with throughout their ownership. Time and additional mileage will be the true jury on the overall quality of these vehicles.

      @@DR_Bloom86 That is probably true for the dealer purchasing the truck. They want a clear title, low mileage, accident free (although not a deal breaker for minor things) and clean looking. As a buyer I’m definitely looking at the CARFAX for every record, especially major repairs. The truck in question had one cylinder side repaired as a precaution to fixing one bad cylinder. Why didn’t they do both sides, if this is a known production problem? If there is a batch of bad parts, why would you guess at what will last or fail next? I would not have any confidence for long term ownership of a truck like that. The only thing for sure, is more than likely it is going to fail, leave you or your family stranded, and be several thousand dollars to fix, if it makes it past the warranty. No informed buyer wants some one else’s lemon truck.

      @@HowtowithPaulHenderson Years ago I had trouble with Jeep trying to get out of a few warranty repairs for invalid reasons. Also had an aftermarket warranty initially refuse to cover my head gasket because they said I must be hiding something because my engine was so clean for 90,000 miles.

      @@notsofast5495 wow. wondering what they would have said with my 89 firebird trans am I have 325,000 mi on it and I owned it for 23 years. I had never did anything to the engine and it was spotless. So because your vehicle was so clean you must be hiding something, unbelievable. They've changed the law recently I don't know how long ago but they can't be pulling that crap saying that it has an aftermarket intake, performance exhaust and try to say that's what messed it up the engine, or with bigger tires you must be going off Wheeling all the time. Dealerships have to prove without a shadow of a doubt that a mod you did is what was cause of the problem.. I did some basic mods to my new truck but I'm going to stay away from anything that could potentially void or cause problems with the warranty. My truck has plenty of power I had just installed a GM Chevrolet approved carb approved cold air intake. Now I'm waiting for the stillen cold air scoop...

      @@HowtowithPaulHenderson I still don’t trust dealerships or warranty companies. I put Moog HD, not lifted, coils in my 1991 Cherokee and dealership refused to cover front diff noise because they said I altered the chassis.
      Aftermarket warranty refused to cover my cracked exhaust manifold when inspector saw a crimp in the pipe where it goes behind the oil pan. He told the mechanic I hit something. It was clearly a manufacturing crimp. I had to go to Jeep dealership parts counter and get a picture of a new pipe and had a parts counter guy write a note describing the factory crimp.

    My sisters Denali went out with 66k miles had lifters fixed, got it back a month later drove off and bam 💥 again 🤣…They took it back to dealership and again they found shavings seems to be a common trend because her ex’s Corvette 2020 also had same issue with little miles as well. Third time they put crate engine and she got rid of it. I can’t blame her having so many Chevy’s break down in the family made me change my mind also.

    Ouch. Dont care how much you say "this is a common issue"...its a catastrophic failure man. And all that within 10k or less on a new truck, hard pass. My brother had a brand new 2016 ram 2500 laramie...never towed with it and went in twice for trans issue all under 30k..it was a street queen too. Call that "a common problem on the ram trans" all you want...its a pile of garbage. He ditch that really fast. What if you were towing and it broke down in nowheresville, usa?

      5.3 parts are in more demand vs the 6.2. Per GM parts counter. I had to wait about 8 days for my lifters/vlom and head gaskets
