I have a leaking rear main seal. this should be covered under gm bulletin 14882. i had a gm technician inspect the vehicle at glockners chevrolet and gmc dealer in portsmouth, ohio. he said the deal is leaking do to a clogged pcv valve. this is the very thing covered in the bulletin but they refuse to fix it because the vin does not match. this is happening on numerous gm vehicles with this engine it should be covered under warranty. the temperature has been below freezing her for the last couple days. i drove the vehicle approximately 10 miles from work to the dealership.
The car has oil consumption issues which is causing it to stall. my car stalled while driving in traffic which could very easily cause a bad accident gm is aware of the issue but won't fix it. i am already on my second engine do to this excessive oil consumption.
While driving on the highway, in the rear view mirror, i noticed a cloud of smoke. the vehicle then proceeded to lose acceleration, so i pulled over. let me note that there was no previous warning light and that the oil was just changed at the end of dec. 2019 (receipt available). upon pulling over, the car flashed "oil pressure low - stop engine". the temperature outside was 13 and my two children where in the car; 4 and 2. not ideal conditions for the car to stop!!!. the car was towed to my home, by my insurance company. upon examination, it was discovered that a rod went through the engine block. there was oil everywhere!! it was all over my driveway, (another note - this is the first time i have ever seen oil on my driveway from this vehicle), all over the back of my vehicle, and all over the underneath of the car. the next 24 hours we worked on finding a new engine. however, when i arrived home, there was a letter in the mail . claim number 1900010 - berman et al v. gm. the claim stated ...
on a cold 12 degree day on 1/19/2020 i was driving my 2013 gmc terrain on a busy state highway doing the speed limit of 55 mph. out of no where i began to smell the odor of burning oil and seen white smoke coming from the rear of my vehicle. as soon as i noticed it my car's gauges started coming on. the check engine light, a warning to for "service stabilitrak", then the warning for "engine power reduced". at the moment my car all the sudden shut off while driving down a major highway! there was no power steering and it was very hard for me steer my car into the parking lot of walmart and safely off the road. once in the parking lot i got out of the car and checked my oil. smoke is rolling out of the dipstick shaft. i check my oil weekly due to gm's oil consumption issues with the 2013 gmc terrains and on 1/15/2020 the oil was at full, was of normal color and consistency when i fueled and checked it that day. so i was shocked to see that there was no oil on my dipstick and ...
Rear engine seal blew according to bulletin 14882 march 2015 caused by a frozen pcv valve. purchased the vehicle used from a gm dealership as a good used suv. when reporting the problem,they said there was no bulletin,changed their mind,but said vin disqualified it for repairs and said i had bad luck vehicle is unusable as it blows oil thru the seal when in operation
Showed stability track. i was driving on the highway when it showed service stability trak then engine power reduced. it took my speed from a 65 to 35 in an instant causing me to almost crash. then the car started to jerk as i tried to drive to find somewhere safe.
Purchased car used from gmc dealer 88,706 miles. 1 previous owner thta purchased from gm dealer new, i purchased extra 100,000 warranty in addition. i drive about 10 miles total a day about 3 days a week to work, so i have not put many miles on it. 30 days after purchase when driving home from work got to driveway, car dumped large quantities of oil on driveway. no warning lights ever came on to indicate a problem. diagnostics should have indicated pressure build-up. car had hesitated a bit at the last stoplight before my house on the way home but not bad and only one time. oil all over underside of vehicle. towed to dealer, gm knows of the issue but my vin is not on "the list" for the "service adjustment" not a recall but it should be.. nobody can say why. will cover part but not all of the damage despite this being the result of a really poor engine design that is a "high oil consumption" vehicle. is this the 70s? that should not even be a thing in 2019. the oil ...
In august, 2019 i had the oil changed and when i wen to leave the parking lot and put the car in reverse the car sputtered and the engine stalled. this happened several times. i then brought it to a dealership. they replaced the timing chains and actuators ($1,416.60). two days ago there was a ticking sound and then while i was in gear (drive) waiting for the garage to open, the car started trying to "buck" forward while i had my foot on the brake. i called the dealership and was told that this model with lots of miles (under 70,000) tend to burn oil. i added a significant amount of oil (none on dip stick) and now the vehicle is running fine. why is this car burning so much oil? i have never had a car burn oil and to be told by a dealership after it was supposedly fixed that burning oil is normal is disturbing as is the unreliability of the car. will it buck again or die again?
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 gmc terrain. while driving 30 mph, the engine made an abnormal noise and smoke emitted from the exhaust without warning. the engine began to stall and the contact pulled over and attempted to place oil in the vehicle; however, the oil leaked out. the vehicle was towed to steven lust automotive (1314 6th ave sw, aberdeen, sd 57401, (605) 277-4261) where it was diagnosed that the pcv valve was faulty. the contact stated that there was an unknown manufacturer recall that was placed on her year, make, and model vehicle; however, the vin was excluded. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the mechanic that the contact's vin was not included in the manufacturer recall. the vehicle had not been repaired. the failure mileage was 61,067.
The car started to "buck" and making a tap tap tap noise like a lifter tapping while driving to work. when i got out of the vehicle, something smelled hot. checked under the hood and there was nothing wet or steaming. no check lights ever came on. later at lunch, i left and the tapping noise was louder and the heat gauge increased fast. i stopped at a repair shop. while i waited i checked the oil. there wasn"t any!!! at all. the dipstick was milkey. the oil fill cap was wet inside and milkey. underneath my car was covered in fresh oil. it was determined to be a busted rear main seal. 4 qts of oil added so i could get home. my mechanic confirmed the diagnosis. he was shocked. he found gm bulletin 14882 online. what is described in that video is exactly what happened. we had a sudden hard freeze x 3 days. the pvs connection at the intake was full of water. when that froze, it blew out the seal. my car has 88,000 miles on it. there are videos after videos online of the same engine doing this exact same thing. i called gm. ...
While in motion the car is randomly shutting off the engine while in motion on a city street but will immediately start back up once turning the ignition back on. this issue also caused my check engine light to come on and after doing a dianostics it turns out that the intake valve solenoid that went bad. after reaching out to several mechanics and gmc dealers they've told me that this is a common issue with my car type. another issue they mentioned is that if you replace one and not the other, more than likely the issue will occur again.
