On 2.2.2019 around 11am I left work at 301 W Main St, Christiana, DE 19702 and drove across the street to get lunch at Acme at 1 University Plaza, Newark, DE 19702. It was 28* out and we had a few days of below 32*. As I was leaving the Acme parking lot all the lights came on in the dash. I immediately stopped and shut off car. Across the street was an Exxon station on 300 Chapman Rd, Newark, DE 19713. The service person said I was leaking oil. He put in a quart then another it came right back out and said it could be a rear main seal.
I did some research and found a Special Coverage Adjustment –that STATED---- Plugged PCV Orifice in Intake Manifold for the 2010-2014 Chevrolet Equinox equipped with 2.4L Ecotec Engine (LAF, LEA or LUK) 2.4L engine (LAF, LEA or LUK) that have experienced high oil consumption may also experience a frozen and/or plugged PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) system during cold weather operation. This condition may increase crankcase pressure leading to a rear crankshaft seal oil leak.
I know that GM needed to look at this so I had it towed to Diver Chevrolet 2101 Pennsylvania Ave, Wilmington, DE 19806 (302) 482-8359. Almost a week later!!!!! they called and said the rear main seal blew out and that's what was stated on the service order. I asked about the March 2015 Bulletin No.: 14882 . They said my car was not part of that group and it would be $3200 to fix. I asked how can this be when it clearly is the same issue stated in the bulletin exactly. Cold temps, frozen pvc, blown rear main. I was even told a few car were in during that cold snap with same issue, but those car had ext warranty or were part of the group vin.
So now I'm here trying to get help from you. This is a known problem and they won't acknowledge it. This is a GM problem and they won't admit it. I need some help from someone please!!!
