Chevrolet Cruze / Sonic and Buick Encore PCV Problems

There have been more than a few complaints lately from consumers who purchased 2010-2013 Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain regarding the blowout of the PCV Valve (especially in colder weather). Information regarding the PCV issue (and corresponding warranty extension) can be accessed here: https://www.valerolaw.com/news/2018/1/22/general-motors-24-liter-ecotec-pcv-warranty-extension

Equally interesting is that the PCV issue also affects the following vehicles:

  1. 2011 - 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Equipped with 1.4L (RPO LUJ or LUV). See also Chevrolet lemon law.
