While driving on the interstate in below freezing weather the low oil pressure light illuminated directing me to stop the vehicle immediately. After waiting 2 hours in freezing temperatures I was able to get vehicle towed to a mechanic and the rear main oil seal had blow out due to a blocked pcv valve. This is a know issue up to 2013 GMC Terrains and mine is 2014. Pictures from the special coverage bulletin 14882 looks like identical part still used in the 2014.

Left my house on a very cold morning (below 10 degrees) and while I was driving and my engine started making a very loud clattering noise. Low power message displayed on the dash and several lights displayed. Nothing prior to the noise. Immediately pulled in and parked my vehicle. I had the codes ran, checked the oil and it had none! the vehicle was checked out and the pcv valve failed/froze causing combustion in the engine and blew out the rear main seal. According to service bulletin 14882 this was an issue on the 2010-2013 GMC Terrains and 2010-2014 Chevrolet equinox (which is basically the same thing) a recall was issued. My vehicle is a 2014 (who's to say when the engine was not built in 2013?) and it doesn't appear the issue was fixed on the 2014s which is going to cost me approximately $3000 to fix. When the rear main seal blew (or started leaking) it coated the whole underside of my vehicle which could have cause me to wreck or catch fire. I had to have my vehicle towed since I was several miles from home.

During cold temperatures (14 degrees) my pcv valve failed to work while sitting at a read light while I was driving home from work on a city street resulting in my rear main seal blowing. This was an issue on the 2010-2013 GMC Terrains and other gm vehicles as noted in the service bulletin 14882. My car is a 2014 and clearly the issue has not been resolved which has cost me nearly $3000 in repairs. Luckily I was close to home but this issue could've left me stranded in below freezing temperatures. This issue also caused oil to leak everywhere and could've resulted in a fire. My car was smoking and smelled as though something was burning.

This car burns 3 quarts of oil between 5000 mile oil change intervals. It has done it since it was new. I just found out it is because of a faulty pcv system. 01.

The pcv system there's plugged up dumping oil into the intake and to the throttle body oils in the intake manifold crankcase too much pressure.
