Description of the problem | The engine started knocking around 100k miles and getting worse ever since. The piston pin is going bad. I found out that gm knows about this problem by a certified gm technician. He told me that all 3. 1l engines have this problem and gm wont fix it. I feel shafted and will never by a gm product again. *nm |
