![]() We call the dealer to touch base, they recommend bringing it in. No issues had been found on either of those visits. Oil had been changed three weeks (maybe four) prior, and the exhaust manifold changed out in between that. No dash lights on, no sounds coming from the car. ![]() Put in park, no issues, when driving, no issues.įinish driving another couple miles without any noise and/or issues. Thought the car was going to stall out at the light! Get to the gas station, seems OK, but when goes to idle, awful sound from the engine. Driving on freeway and got off to stop for coffee. This past week extremely cold out in New England (0 degrees or so). It's been about 2 weeks.they say it should be soon done.Ģ016 Chevy Equinox, all oil changes done on time, Exhaust system maintained properly, brakes, etc. but we had to cover part of the car rental. Thankfully we had purchased an extended warranty. Had it been someone who did not realize something was wrong they may have passed out while driving. The smell of burning oil was so bad it made me sick. No lights, no bells, no nothing to tell us the oil was low and this was one week from the oil change the dealer just did. I guess they thought we were exaggerating, but they quickly got out of the car, looked underneath and saw the rear main seal blown. Well, we opened the window a crack and headed home. But when we stopped at the store, it happened again, so we turned the front defroster to the floor and it seemed to let up. stopped at a red light and an awful smell came through the front defroster, we thought it was the car ahead of us as when we took off it seemed to go away. I'm looking into it and to see if it was a recall - did GMC knew about the problem and didn't fix anything? I wish I had their number number to their lawyer so I can tell him I saw his story. I did read on here that there was somebody going through the exact same thing put a lawsuit through. They included the blown-out seals and everything else that's wrong with it, so now I'm sitting without a car and the means to pay for a new engine for the car to get fixed. But when the adjuster came out to look at it he called it a non-repairable for them to pay off the fix because the PCV valve wasn't covered under the coverage. I called the tow truck to take it to the service station - I thought insurance was going to help. I hear a grinding noise like steel plates are just rubbing against each other, and thought it was something different than what I found out. I was driving to work and came back out to start the car and go get lunch, then car doesn't want to start. Same story as a lady from New Jersey and Ohio that I saw on here. There wasn't even any bulletins or anything at dealers so owners could be aware of this problem and get valve reamed out to avoid problems in cold weather. There fore I feel there should be an extended recall to cover and fix this problem. The fix is to ream the hole in the PCV valve bigger so it won't plug and freeze. GM you have lots of Money, so Part with some of it to cover the problem.A recall was issued for the years 2010 thru 2014, but GM didn't fix the problem with the PCV valve. They wont cover the towing either, plus the lost wages for having no car to go to work. Tow bill 230 dollars to get the car to the dealer it was purchased at so they would cover the warranty just to find out, they wont. Paid the 2000 for warranty, now have to pay another 1900 for them to fix it !!! There is something wrong with this picture!! It was bad enough that GM doesn't let you know that this can happen in really cold weather, It happened on the way to work. Bought the extended warranty for problems like this, they said it was not covered because PCV valve froze.
