I've spent the last several days perusing truck forums, mostly GM related, trying to find out more about the AFM problems that started around the 2007 model year. Major oil consumption, lack of proper repairs under warranty (sometimes numerous repairs) only to have the AFM system tank completely once their warranty was up and then be on the hook for big $$$ repairs with little or no help from GM after the fact. I've read Dodge has a similar system but it appeared from opinions and reviews that their system was a lot better than GM's. IDK.
ALERT: This is not a GM bashing post. I've owned numerous GM products throughout my lifetime that served me well. I'm actually thinking about a full size P/U and this caused my initial research into this issue.
I know problems with vehicles get highlighted on forums when people want to vent. I personally wouldn't want a vehicle with this system if I had the choice but sadly it appears these type of systems are here to stay to satisfy CAFE requirements. Have any on this forum had to deal with this issue? Or, were the other forums magnifying a problem that's not the norm for most GM truck buyers from 2007 on?
