Crankcase (pcv) problems of the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze

I've received a letter from general motors awaring me about the positive crankcase ventilation (pcv) pressure regulator valve. That may develop a condition with my vehicle, and I believe my vehicle is in the condition as they described. But the I can only get it repair at no cost if my vehicle was less then 120,000 miles. I bought the car in June 2020 at 160,000 miles. My concern is that now knowing about this issue worries me and my family's safety getting around. As this is my main vehicle use to get to work, etc.

Multiple issues with pcv system causing car to run rough. This issue is a known issue affecting almost all Cruzes worldwide that gm refuses to fix. Has not been repaired due to costs. This also can cause oil leaks which can start a fire.

Pcv valve busted and had to have the intake manifold and valve/cam cover replaced. Bill was $1078. 00 dollars. Only had to pay $200. 00 dollars because dealer wanted to send parts back to gm after I asked for old parts. Gm does not have a fix for why these pcv failures happen.

Takata recall the pcv valve is built into the valve cover, there is a spring in the pcv valve that fails causing the emissions computer to not work correctly. Failure of this spring cause rough idle, loss of power, and failed emissions test. Multiple reports have been made.

While driving the vehicle the engine light came on. The car only has 60,000. 00 on it but we took it in because the engine would just randomly stop and the car would stall. The vehicle when brought into the dealership, had been inspected and the car was missing parts. The intake manifold non return valve was missing. There was a vacuum leak at the pcv orifice external port. Water pump was leaking from bolt holes and cover plate. Coolant leak was found even though a few months prior to the leak, chevy "fixed" the recalled item. I believe that the vehicle has many faulty parts and this is the second time I have written a complaint about this company using faulty parts in there manufacturing process.
