I had a weird inconsistent rattle under the oil pan on startup. Went away after a minute. About 10 minutes down the road I had the check engine light come on and power lost. Took straight to dealer and it showed a cylinder 7 misfire. Pictures speak a 1000 words…

So I haven’t even been given a breakdown of what the repairs will consist of but the estimate was almost $6,000. I’m assuming that rattle was probably the rest of that lifter playing pinball inside the crankcase somewhere?

So, 5.7?
 
Happened to our 2014 some years ago, although no oil pan rattle. Cost was around $5000 then, but luckily covered under extended warranty. New lifters and camshaft.

So am I cooked or were you problem free after the repair? Some are telling me to trade it asap.

believe the repair was around at 130,000 miles, and it's around 230,000 now and has been problem free.
