When I went to begin the oil consumption test per the Executive Resolution Liaison the dealer notified me that I have water in my PCV system and I need to get it cleaned for $700 before Tuesday when it’s going below freezing. I found the Bulletin No.: 14882 which explains that GM is extending the warranty for my 2014 Equinox to 10 years or 120k miles (mine is 73k). I called the Executive Resolution Liaison back and she pretty much said SOL your VIN isn’t listed. I told her that it’s having the exact same problem that is talked about in the bulletin 14882. She just repeated Sorry your VIN isn’t listed so it’s not covered. She wouldn’t accept the logic and just said sorry. And people wonder why we all go to Toyota and Honda. Bullying us with Patriotic duty won’t work when the company won’t even take care of you. This is enabling bad behavior on the part of corporations. We need to show them that we’re not going to take this by not buying their products. And my tax dollars helped to bail them out!

I’ve had a similar situation to everyone else. I recently bought a used 2012 GMC Terrain, 97000 miles. This bulletin is not attached to the VIN, so I had no idea this could be a problem. Within 10 days of ownership, my engine fails due to the rear crankshaft seal blowing out and oil leaking. Take this to a repair shop, and they tell me that it was due to an iced up and plugged PVC orifice. Now I’m looking at a $2100 repair, which GMC and the dealership refuse to help with, even though my vehicle falls perfectly in line with this bulletin. I’m never buying a GM vehicle again.

In reply to Carl McIntosh.

This is supposed to be the fix.

Is there a permanent fix for this. I had my rear seal blow out about a month ago and now everyday it’s cold out I’m afraid to drive my vehicle. It cost me $600 to replace the seal and there’s no way I can afford to pay that again.

HMM, interesting. I had the same situation with my 2014 Chevy Equinox and my VIN isn’t covered either. We actually contacted GM and have someone named ‘Todd” working on our case.. He said that if enough people contact GM about the issue, that they may send out a new bulletin. Just by looking on the internet I can see that there are many people dealing with the same problem. SO FRUSTERATED!!!
