Description of the problem | Extreme cold temps (-20below), while driving heard popping sound, 2 miles later, car started to run rough went back home, oil was draining out. Car was parked, put more oil in, drained right out. Mechanic stated the crankshaft rear oil seal gasket had blown. This is referenced in gm sb14882. My vin wasn't covered even though what happened was exactly as stated in the sb. Sb was updated on feb 4, 2019 (#19-na-021) , again i was still not covered. I had heard over 200 michigan equinox customers were in service due to same issue and the cold temperatures we were experiencing in michigan. The amount of oil i have to put in, 2 qrts every 2 weeks is also a concern. |
