Consumer Description

TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR MADE A CLANGING SOUND, THEN I LOOKED AT MY DASH AND IT SAID THE MOTOR WAS SLOWING DOWN. SO II GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED. CALLED THE WRECKER AND WHEN IT WAS BEING PUT ON THE TRUCK WAS WHEN I SAW THE OIL UNDER IT. WHILE WAITING FOR HELP I CONTACTED THE ONSTAR SYSTEM THEY RAN A DIO FOR MY TROUBLE, BUT IT ONLY CAME BACK AS "HAVE IT SERVICES SOON". THE DEALER SAID THE PVC HAD STUCK AND BLEW THE MOTOR, IT WOULD COST 7000.00+ TO REPLACE THE MOTOR. AND WOULD NOT BUY IT AGAINST A NEW CAR PURCHASE.
