Consumer Description

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING MY EQUINOX DOWNTOWN ST LOUIS, 3 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME AND CAME TO A STOP LIGHT. CAR WASN'T RUNNING RIGHT. SHAKING AND RATTLING. HE GOT PULLED INTO A PARKING GARAGE WHERE LATER IT HAD TO BE TOWED. THE NEXT DAY, THE BODY SHOP TOLD US THE PCV VALVE WAS CLOGGED OR FROZED AND PROBABLY BLEW THE SEALS. WE HAD TO HAVE OUR CAR TOWED 3 HOURS BACK TO HOME. THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON BEFOREHAND. I HAVE COMPLETED ALL MAINTENANCE ON THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE HAD NO TROUBLE. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THIS AND THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS. AND IN THIS CASE LEFT MY FAMILY STRANEDED 3 HOURS FROM HOME!
