Description of the problem	I was driving my vehicle, heading home on a cold night when the engine light went on, the display said "power reduced to engine", i stopped and the car just shut off. I tried to restart it and it wouldn't turn over. I called for a tow truck and they looked it over the next day and told me that i had dropped all of my oil, with the exception of 1/2 quart, the mechanic then told me that the pcv pipe was plugged and forced a leak and blew causing my car to lose all of it's oil. He is not a gmc dealer so he called the nearest one, mcgrath (formerly bird chevrolet) in dubuque, iowa and they said that that has happened and there was a recall on them and that the car should be towed there for repair. Once the mechanic at mcgrath, (randy) had taken a look at the car and ran my vin # he stated that my car would not be covered, even though this same thing is part of a recall for the same make /model/year of my vehicle. He said that i would have to pay out of pocket for the malfunctioning of this part. So far i have had to pay for emergency towing, towing to the dealer, and diagnostic testing, totaling $350. 00 and there's been nothing done yet to my vehicle.
