Description of the problem | I was driving when my car started making a noise and vibration. I drove it 3 miles as the vibration and noise was getting worse to the dealership. According to the dealership the engine pcv valve became clogged with sledge or ice and pushed the oil out the rear seal of the engine causing failure. In addition the ecm failed to display a low engine oil warning or a check engine warning. After talking to the mechanic at the dealership and researching on the internet, this is a design flaw for the 2. 4 ecotc engine that gm has failed to address and is causing people thousands of dollars. My repair will cost $3000. 00. Recall 14882 |
