Description of the problem	In 2013, i actually called the dealership to inquire about some smoke coming from front of car during rain/snow, and some shaking while stopped in traffic. I was informed these were normal functions due to the climatic weather and braking system. I took them at their word. In the summer of 2017 whilst driving to work, the car cut off, and the check engine light came on. I took it to my mechanic, and was told the oil had burned very low. Should a 2013 burn completely out of oil in three months? I had to get an oil change, replacement of intake and exhaust camshaft position solenoids. It wasn't until i had the almost exact issue happen in jan, 2018 that i was informed that the engine was burning oil at a high speed. There is a recall on my make model and year vehicle (see below for report) that mirror the exact issues that i have been experiencing since 2017. However, upon contacting gmc, i was told that my vin is not part of the recall, therefore gmc will not replace the engine, though i am experiencing the exact same issues that are on the recall report. I am constantly in fear that my car will shutoff whilst i am driving. I have had two oil changes within a month, because the oil burns that quick. I am now on my second oil consumption test, but i know once the testing is complete, i will have the same problems, due to the engine burning oil at an astronomical rate. Shaking/shutdown, i rent cars for long distance travel due to fear. Initially, dealer rep said i didn't have to change oil for 5,000 miles. Ithin a months time (jun-jul 2018), i had two oil changes. A dye test was done in july, because though no oil was evident, service depart assumed must be a leak for oil to be so low. Test showed "no" leak. Car ticks, mechanic says due to engine needing replaced. Gmc/chevy refuse. The repair report says "car runs fine" my car was towed to dealership, wasn't running.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
