Consumer Description
2013 TERRAIN WAS IN MOTION AND STOPPED ON AN IL HIGHWAY IN VERY COLD FEBRUARY WEATHER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, WHO STATES PVC CRANKCASE ISSUE. I INVESTIGATED AND FOUND THIS ISSUE IS LISTED UNDER BULLETIN 14882. DEALERSHIP AND GM CORPORATE LINE CLAIM THAT THE BULLETIN NUMBER DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE AND THUS NO SPECIAL COVERAGE AVAILABLE TO COVER REPAIRS. REPAIRS ARE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR A NEW ENGINE. MANY OTHER CAR OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS PER GOOGLE. THE BULLETIN RECOGNIZES THE SAFETY RISK, YET THERE APPEARS TO BE NO FULL ON RECALL FOR INCLUSION OF ADDITIONAL AFFECTED VEHICLES. PLEASE HELP. THIS IS UNFAIR TO CONSUMERS AND HAZARDOUS TO ALL WINTERY DRIVERS. GMC SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CLAIM THE BULLETIN IS "VIN SPECIFIC" WHEN THE ISSUE ARISES DUE TO COLD WEATHER--WHICH WE ALL KNOW CAN OCCUR IN MANY PLACES AT ANY TIME. THANKS,
