2013 Chevrolet Equinox. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle leaking oil. Consumer took vehicle to zimbrick GMC (madison, WI) on 2/18/20 because it was leaking oil. He was informed that the pvc valve had clogged/froze causing high pressure in engine which caused the rear differential gasket to blow out and leak engine oil. He was informed of a special coverage adjustment bulletin for the issue, but his VIN number was not included. Manufacturer was contacted, but provided no assistance because VIN number was not included in bulletin.
I was driving at 55mph and the red lights came on saying to check engine oil low-I pulled over immediately and my engine was already blown. I get my oil changes every 3000-3500 miles. The mechanic said that the rear seal gasket blew and the engine was gone immediately. I now have a car that I still owe on and I need a new engine at 120,000 miles. Very upset that the price you pay for these cars that all you can get is 120,000 miles.
