Consumer Description
DURING COLD TEMPERATURES (14 DEGREES) MY PCV VALVE FAILED TO WORK WHILE SITTING AT A READ LIGHT WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON A CITY STREET RESULTING IN MY REAR MAIN SEAL BLOWING. THIS WAS AN ISSUE ON THE 2010-2013 GMC TERRAINS AND OTHER GM VEHICLES AS NOTED IN THE SERVICE BULLETIN 14882. MY CAR IS A 2014 AND CLEARLY THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED WHICH HAS COST ME NEARLY $3000 IN REPAIRS. LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE TO HOME BUT THIS ISSUE COULD'VE LEFT ME STRANDED IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES. THIS ISSUE ALSO CAUSED OIL TO LEAK EVERYWHERE AND COULD'VE RESULTED IN A FIRE. MY CAR WAS SMOKING AND SMELLED AS THOUGH SOMETHING WAS BURNING.
