Description of the problem | My car starting sputtering yesterday morning. By lunch, i was a quart low on oil. I added a quart of oil and made it approximately 20 miles when my car started sputtering again, a dashboard light came on saying engine was slowing down and then it died. When i restarted it, the low oil light was on and it said stop engine now. I called tow truck and had it towed to thompson sales in springfield mo - the official gmc dealer. I was called today and told it was the pcv valve that froze up, causing a back up in pressure, causing the rear main seal to blow. I have been doing research on this today, only to find that apparantly there are many gmc terrains in the 2010-2013 years that have been having the exact same problems. Why is there not a recall on this? When i research it myself, i find numerous complaints of the exact same problem. Apparantly, gmc issued a service bulletin on this exact problem, but there has been no recall. Now, i am looking at having to have a whole new engine put into a car that is only 5 years old. |
