Owner Narrative

TRUCK WAS MAKING A "KNOCKING" NOISE UPON START. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP MECHANIC AND INFORMED, BASED ON THE NOISE AND WHERE IT'S COMING FROM, IT'S MOST LIKELY A CRACKED CYLINDER AND INFORMED THIS IS "COMMON." REALLY?? WILL COST THOUSANDS TO REPAIR ... WHICH I DON'T HAVE. FRUSTRATING TO SAY THE LEAST. IT HAS LOW MILES, SERVICED REGULARLY. IF THIS IS "COMMON" WHY WON'T GMC STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF IT?? *TR
