VALVE LIFTER ROLLER CAME APART AND GROUND UP DESTROYING CAM AND ROCKER ARM

I PURCHASED CAR USED. AS I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN MY HEADLIGHTS WERE SHUT OFF BY THE SENTINEL. ANOTHER CAR COMING OUT OF A STORE PARKING LOT NEARLY BROADSIDED ME BECAUSE HE NEVER SAW ME . THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS IF SOMEONE USES MY CAR OR WHEN I SELL THE CAR. I THINK THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD FIX IT FREE REGARDLESS OF FREQUENCY. *AK

THE SERVICE TECHNITION TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM'S ABS SYSTEM. HE SAID I SHOULD CHECK INTO WHETHER THERE MIGHT BE A SILENT RECALL ON THE AFOREMENTIONED ABS SYSTEM THAT WOULD BE FIXED ONLY IF A CONSUMER HAD A PROBLEM. I DID NOT SEE ONE LISTED IN YOUR DATA BASE, BUT THOUGHT YOU MIGHT HAVE ACCESS TO MORE INFORMATION. THE TECH SAID IT WAS A FLAW IN THE ABS SYSTEM, NOT BECAUSE OF ANY LACK OF MAINTAINENCE OF NEGLECT. IF YOU CAN GIVE ME ANY RECALL INFO IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED AS THE REPAIR IS VERY COSTLY FOR A PROBLEM NOT ASSOCIATED WITH NORMAL WEAR AND USAGE. THANK YOU, RANDY J. ANDERSEN
