Vehicle was towed to independent mechanic, where it was determined that the issue was the timing chain and that it could cost $2,500-3,000 for timing chain repair, or upwards of $5,000 for replacement engine. Luckily he was on a rural road, but he was going around a 25 mph curve on a somewhat steep hill, which could have been bad had the roads been icy, as they often are in December in Michigan. Had to have front wheel bearing replaced, rear brakes replaced (routine), Service engine light has persistently been on, goes through a quart of oil a week at least, had to replace solonoids this past November and within about 3-4 weeks of doing that, the timing chain went out and the engine died while husband was driving it.

Temperatures were at zero degrees on the and, so mine was definitely frozen.īought vehicle used from a dealership in Feb 2021. This PCV should be a recall if it continuously gets clogged just by normal usage. This really can be a dangerous situation when it happens and could cause the engine to turn off without warning. Repairs for my vehicle were for the rear main seal replacement, cleaning my PCV system and replacing the oil, all done at the dealership. There is a special service bulletin for the issue that states the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) may become clogged or frozen in extreme cold, causing a build up of pressure, leaking oil and causing the rear main seal to fail. This could of caused me an accident on the highway at 65mph if the engine had locked up due to no oil. There was no warning light for the pressure build up or for low oil until it blew out the seal. My rear main seal blew out and leaked all my oil out of my engine, due to my PCV being clogged or frozen, causing it to lose power and knock really loud.
