Description of the problem | While driving home i stopped at a traffic light and noticed a knocking sound in low rpm range. I continued the remaining 1 mile home. When i got home and out of the vehicle i could smell burning oil. I looked under the vehicle and there was a puddle of oil on the ground as well as lots of oil dripping from the vehicle. After having a gm technician diagnose the issue, it was determined that the pcv value had clogged/frozen causing increased pressure in the crankcase and blowing out the rear main oil seal. This is the same problem that was stated in a service bulletin (sb-10057977-8108) that gm has out. My vin number is not covered with this bulletin for some reason, but this is a common problem with this drivetrain. The service bulletin (sb-10057977-8108) should be expanded to cover all vehicles with the 2. 4 liter 4 cylinder engine. My vehicle is just 2 months out of warranty and gm is only offering to cover 30% of the repair cost. This is a common problem and needs to be resolved. |
