How many other guys out there having the same issue ?
What state are you in?

A quick search reveals the lemon law can apply to a used vehicle, if certain conditions are/were met.

Well 3 lifter failures in 3k miles. This last time it actually bent the lifter. They just replaced it along with a oil manifold. I wasnt happy at all. I asked them to install a new motor and they weren't having it. Tried to have them buy it back and they wont give me what i paid for it. Regardless ive only had it a month and they had it 2 weeks out of that. Guess i just have to wait for it to happen again.

I posted on there facebook review about it .. Masters Buick GMC if anyone cares to read or share it for me.

I hope you don't have any more issues! I'm in the industry and spoke with two GM techs yesterday. They said they see this ALL of the time, which is scary! Makes me want to do the AFM/DOD delete on my brand new 6.2

Guess its really a hit or miss. It took the 3rd time for them to get it right (replace oil manifold). Just very frustrating.
