38 later for timing chain new seals and rod plus bolts. Tech indicated the pcv had clogged causing rear seal to fail and then loss of oil caused timing chain to loosen and then engine failure. Was able to start engine again but 50% power indication remained car had to be towed to dealer. In 15 degree weather car running rough, then without notice while driving 70 mph on highway car goes to 50% power and barely avoiding getting rear ended I was able to maneuver to side of highway where engine stalled out. How many thousands of gallons are being dumped due to gm refusal to own up to their bad design? I understand this website may be to deal with more safety concerns but gm insisted I file a complaint with you. Do I need to contact the epa over the oil leaks on countless gm vehicles? under my estimate this single gm vehicle dumped approximately 2 gallons of synthetic oil to the environment before the problem was diagnosed. Had I not checked the oil level for the oil consumption start point the car would have been driven until the engine seized up more than likely causing an accident. After a fresh oil change the engine promptly blew out over 4 quarts of oil in less than 15 miles. The vehicle had just started an oil consumption test for this very problem.
Timing chains prematurely wearing out to piston rings wearing and causing excessive oil consumption. This ecotec engine has had many problems resulting in recalls.
Had this vehicle been on a highway or heavy traffic the engine would have blown or seized due to lack of oil. It has become apparent the recall needs to be expanded to cover all the ecotec 2. Gm is refusing to cover this engine because it wasn't part of the "special recall" issued March 2015. 4 have a service bulletin 14882 to cover total cost of repairs for this exact same problem. Other makes and models of a several year span with the ecotec 2. Valve was found by dealer as being frozen shut causing the crankcase to pressurize and blow out the read crank shaft seal costing $1817 to repair. Im a single mom with 2 kids and I dont know what to do. This is a known problem and they wont acknowledge it. So now im here trying to get help from you. 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. I asked how can this be when it clearly is the same issue stated in the bulletin exactly. They said my car was not part of that group and it would be $3200 to fix. I asked about the March 2015 bulletin no. Almost a week later they called and said the rear main seal blew out and thats what was stated on the service order. 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. This condition may increase crankcase pressure leading to a rear crankshaft seal oil leak. 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. 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. He put in a quart then another it came right back out and said it could be a rear main seal. The service person said I was leaking oil. Across the street was an exxon station on 300 chapman rd, newark, DE 19713. As I was leaving the acme parking lot all the lights came on in the dash. It was out and we had a few days of below. 2019 around 11am I left work restoration hardware outlet 301 w main st, christiana, DE 19702 and drove across the street to get lunch at acme 1 university plaza, newark, DE 19702.
