NHTSA Complaint #11063486 — 2013 GMC TERRAIN

MY CAR STARTING SPUTTERING YESTERDAY MORNING. BY LUNCH, I WAS A QUART LOW ON OIL. I ADDED A QUART OF OIL AND MADE IT APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES WHEN MY CAR STARTED SPUTTERING AGAIN, A DASHBOARD LIGHT CAME ON SAYING ENGINE WAS SLOWING DOWN AND THEN IT DIED. WHEN I RESTARTED IT, THE LOW OIL LIGHT WAS ON AND IT SAID STOP ENGINE NOW. I CALLED TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT TOWED TO THOMPSON SALES IN SPRINGFIELD MO - THE OFFICIAL GMC DEALER. I WAS CALLED TODAY AND TOLD IT WAS THE PCV VALVE THAT FROZE UP, CAUSING A BACK UP IN PRESSURE, CAUSING THE REAR MAIN SEAL TO BLOW. I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH ON THIS TODAY, ONLY TO FIND THAT APPARANTLY THERE ARE MANY GMC TERRAINS IN THE 2010-2013 YEARS THAT HAVE BEEN HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THIS? WHEN I RESEARCH IT MYSELF, I FIND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. APPARANTLY, GMC ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS EXACT PROBLEM, BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL. NOW, I AM LOOKING AT HAVING TO HAVE A WHOLE NEW ENGINE PUT INTO A CAR THAT IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD.
