Default 2007 Tahoe lifter, cam then engine replacement- Class action lawsuit

Looking for fellow Tahoe owners for Class Action Lawsuit

96,000miles -Traction control light came on, engine light came on, low power mode, strange noise came from engine, later found it was lifters. replaced lifters and approx 12,350 miles later I brought it back with the same problem but this time the lifters and the cam were bad.
was told there was nothing that could be done.
escalated to GM customer service who promised to help, after 3 months of the car being off the road and a run around from GM and the dealer. GM said they were sorry, there is nothing that can be done and they suggested getting a new engine. I replaced the engine at a different dealer at my cost ($7500) and now 7 months later we are back at the dealer with the same symptoms again!!!!! Would you like to join a class action law suit? i am trying to find people with similar situations. email me at shawn.noonan@gmail.com

I have a 2018 with 82k miles. I purchased the vehicle with an extended warranty to 90k, so getting very close to expiration.. Camshaft lifters failed December 26,2024 and the vehicle has been at the dealer for 4 weeks. The extended warranty is paying for this repair but I'm very nervous about any ancillary issues that could result from this defect. Is it a known issue that the engine will need to be replaced later as a result of the camshaft issue?
