NHTSA Complaint #10944027 — 2012 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

; 2010-2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX; SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT THIS SPECIAL COVERAGE COVERS THE CONDITION DESCRIBED ABOVE FOR A PERIOD OF 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES (193,000 KM), WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST, FROM THE DATE THE VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY PLACED IN SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF OWNERSHIP. DEALERS ARE TO PERFORM A CRANKCASE PRESSURE CHECK, AND IF REQUIRED, REMOVE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND CLEAR THE PCV ORIFICE. THE REPAIRS WILL BE MADE AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER. FOR VEHICLES COVERED BY VEHICLE SERVICE CONTRACTS, ALL ELIGIBLE CLAIMS WITH REPAIR ORDERS ON OR AFTER MARCH 4, 2015, ARE COVERED BY THIS SPECIAL COVERAGE AND MUST BE SUBMITTED USING THE LABOR OPERATION CODES PROVIDED WITH THIS BULLETIN. CLAIMS WITH REPAIR ORDERS PRIOR TO MARCH 4, 2015, MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE SERVICE CONTRACT PROVIDER. THIS IS FROM SERVICE BULLETIN 14882. AS A RESULT OF THE FROZEN PCV, MY WIFE WAS NEARLY KILLED. THE VEHICLE STOPPED INSTANTANEOUSLY ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE CENTER LANE AFTER PREVIOUSLY BEING AT 74MPH. SEMI TRACTOR TRAILERS NEARLY RAN HER OVER. HIGHWAY PATROL CAME TO THE RESCUE SINCE HER VEHICLE COULD NOT BE COMPLETELY REMOVED FROM TRAFFIC. IT CAME TO REST PARTWAY ON THE SHOULDER AND PARTWAY ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP, THEY AGREED THAT IT MATCHED IDENTICALLY TO THIS SERVICE BULLETIN. THEN, WHEN THEY CHECKED THE VIN, GM SAID THAT OUR VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THIS SEEMS TOTALLY WRONG. IF NEEDED YOU CAN OBTAIN THE HIGHWAY PATROL REPORT FROM THE MISSOURI HIGHWAY PATROL. THIS HAPPENED ON SUNDAY JANUARY 8, 2017. MY WIFE IS [XXX] FOR REFERENCE. IT OCCURRED AROUND 3PM CENTRAL STANDARD TIME WITHOUT NOTICE. THE REAR OIL SEAL BLEW OUT AND THE MOTOR CEASED INSTANTANEOUSLY WITHOUT WARNING. *TR
