Description of the problem	I purchased my tahoe from the dealer brand new and always took it to get serviced at the same dealer. In 2015 i took it in for a check engine light and they said there was a misfire and they replaced the camshaft and machined the heads stating that the valves were leaking. Repairs cost nearly $3000. This year 2018 in march the engine light came on again. The dealer stated that there was a misfire in a cylinder the same cylinder that was mifiring 3 years prior. They said a roller on the rocker disintergrated and repairs would cost close to $6000 this is not due to anything i did the vehicle does even have 100,000 miles on it. No harsh driving or anything like that. I believe this is a manufacturing issue. Not a safety issue but i think it is a manufacturing defect.
