2013 GMC TERRAIN WITH 72K MILES (ABOUT 5.5 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME). IN FRIGID TEMPERATURES (-15 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT), THE VEHICLE RPMS STARTED FLUCTUATING WILDLY WHILE IN IDLE, AND WOULD SHUT OFF ENTIRELY. THE PCV PORT FROZE AND LEAD TO BLOWING OUT THE REAR MAIN SEAL. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY (DESPITE THE EXISTING POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AND SERVICE BULLETIN 14882). ALSO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED (WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY). TOTAL REPAIR WAS $2,800. *TR

CAR HAS STARTED EXCESSIVELY USING OIL AND RINGING SOUND FROM ENGINE. ROARING SOUND WHEN IT STARTS. I PURCHASED CAR SEPT '17, WITH 125K MILES. RECEIVED A LETTER TODAY MAY 8, 2020 SAYING THIS IS AN ISSUE. CALLED GM SAYS THIS SERVICE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, BUT I JUST RECEIVED LETTER TODAY. SAYS PREVIOUS OWNER PROBABLY RECEIVED LETTER BUT THAT DOESN'T HELP CURRENT OWNER. I HAD PREVIOUSLY VISITED A GM DEALER 3 TIMES AND THIS WAS NEVER MENTIONED TO ME. I WANT MY REPAIRS COVERED BECAUSE SOMEONE DROPPED THE BALL AND IT WASN'T ME. IT IS NOT FAIR THAT I WASN'T NOTIFIED SOONER I WOULD HAVE BROUGHT IT IN TO BE CHECKED. *TR

THE CAR CONSUMES OIL SO MUCH YOU WILL STALL OUT DUE TO SENSORS PRESSURE DEFECT WITH THE EXHAUST. I HAVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY TRYING TO FIX, KEEP OIL IN IT. IT'S NOT SAFE. IT TAKES A FULL QUART NOW EVERY 500 TO 700 MILES AND MY CAR HAS 116K. IT'S BEEN DOING THIS FOR THE 2 YEARS I BOUGHT IT. THE STALLING OUT WITH CHECK ENGINE INDICATES CAMSHAFT SENSOR BUT YOUR JUST LOW ON OIL

STARTED HAVING A NOISE BOTH COLD AND HOT, HAD IT INSPECTED TO FIND OUT THE EXCHAUST MANIFOLD IS CRACKED BROKEN IN SEVERAL AREAS AND EXCHAUST FLEX PIPE IS BAD. CAR HAS JUST OVER 100000 MILES ON IT. THESE ARE AROUND THE AREA OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTS. GM SAYS NOT UNDER WARRANTY I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL 2.4 4 CYLINDER

MY WIFE CAME HOME FROM GROCERY SHOPPING , AS WE WERE EMPTYING OUT THE CAR WE NOTICED A PUDDLE OF OIL UNDER THE CAR. THERE WAS AT LEAST A QUART OF OIL ON THE FLOOR , I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND COULD SEE THAT IT WAS THE REAR MAIN SEAL ON THE ENGINE. THEN I WENT ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM ON THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE OF GM , AND ON MOST OF THE CARS THIS HAPPENED TO GM DOES NOT COVER IT. IT ENDED UP COSTING US $1142.44 TO HAVE IT FIXED. SINCE THEN I HAVE TWICE TAKEN OFF THE INTAKE , PCV TUBE AND CLEANED IT OUT AND FOUND EXCESSIVE MOISTURE IN THEM. THIS ENGINE ALSO HAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION , THERE WAS A LAWSUIT AGAINST GM ABOUT THIS AND OUR CAR IS GETTING NEW RINGS INSTALLED. I'M HOPING THIS WILL ALSO SOLVE THE REAR SEAL PROBLEM. THIS IS A 2013 GMC TERRAIN , 2.4 LITER ENGINE.

I TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR A KNOWN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. THE DEALER CHECK MY OIL AND CONFIRMED NO ACTIVE LEAKS. THE NEXT DAY A LARGE OIL LEAK APPEARED. THE PROXIMITY OF THE TWO WERE PURELY COINCIDENCE. THE DEALER, AFTER FURTHER REVIEW, UNCOVERED A REAR MAIN SEAL FAILURE DUE TO A FROZEN PCV. THIS ISSUE IS DOCUMENTED IN TSB 14882 HOWEVER MY VEHICLE'S VIN IS SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED. AGAIN MY VEHICLE MEETS ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF TSB 14882. I AM SPECIFICALLY LOOKING TO HAVE THE TSB EXPANDED TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE AND OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLES.

I HAVE A LEAKING REAR MAIN SEAL. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER GM BULLETIN 14882. I HAD A GM TECHNICIAN INSPECT THE VEHICLE AT GLOCKNERS CHEVROLET AND GMC DEALER IN PORTSMOUTH, OHIO. HE SAID THE DEAL IS LEAKING DO TO A CLOGGED PCV VALVE. THIS IS THE VERY THING COVERED IN THE BULLETIN BUT THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT BECAUSE THE VIN DOES NOT MATCH. THIS IS HAPPENING ON NUMEROUS GM VEHICLES WITH THIS ENGINE IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE TEMPERATURE HAS BEEN BELOW FREEZING HER FOR THE LAST COUPLE DAYS. I DROVE THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES FROM WORK TO THE DEALERSHIP.
