Crankcase (pcv) problems of the 2010 GMC Terrain

Pcv system has a service bulliten on this. Pcv system froze uo causing the rear main seal to blow out.

My vehicle, 2010 GMC Terrain, at times would sputter and act like it wants to die at idle, so I took it into the dealership and they found that the high pressure fuel pump was leaking into the crankcase contaminating the oil with fuel. There is currently a recall for this issue, #43180: product emission recall � high pressure fuel pump, reference # n16204318, release date: September 2016. I was told that my vehicle was not part of this recall because it did not include my VIN. I believe that the recall needs to be expanded to cover more vehicles because there are more vehicles that are affected by this issue.

Tl the contact owns a 2010 GMC Terrain. While inspecting the vehicle, the contact noticed oil on the ground underneath the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to joe cooper Chevrolet Cadillac (4920 n automall dr, shawnee, ok 74804) where it was diagnosed that the pcv valve failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and case number: 8-3863678608 was filed. The failure mileage was 149,000.

I bought the vehicle with around 86,000 mi - one owner, from dealership. The engine was making a noise within a couple of months. I have to change the oil every month because of the unusual oil burning issue. It died on me three times. The engine would slow down to a stop. I had to turn it off and back on. Later, after a cold day, I had an oil leak. I took it in and the mechanic said there is a problem with the pcv system and the car has had recalls in the past. I took it to the dealership but they said it was not covered. The diagnosis was rear main seal needs replaced. I found a special coverage bulletin from gm online where it said that certain locations/vins are covered because of the crankshaft rear oil seal needs replacement. Mine was diagnosed with this but when I called gm it said my VIN was not on the list. I have had issues with the vehicle since I bought it. Lots of engine noise, very high oil consumption/burn, and difficult to maintain. I would not recommend this vehicle, and I would encourage owners to file for a civil action if they own this type vehicle because all the reviews lead to the same issue. Gm should honor their values by either replacing the parts or recalling these vehicles. I will never purchase a gm vehicle again. The design is great but the engine and system are of very poor quality.
