Comfy and quiet ride, but oil issues.

We have owned Terrain for 2 years, bought with 27,000 miles on it 80,??? miles now. Very quiet and comfy ride, don't like the confusing control panel too many distracting buttons. Christmas day driving home from relatives noticed an engine noise. Pulled over and checked the oil, none on dipstick although we had oil changed 3 days prior. Oil dripping into puddle underneath car. Had car towed to dealership next day and had to have engine main seal and pcv valve replaced. DEALER SAID THIS IS A FREQUENT PROBLEM with these vehicles. They said the pcv valve was carboned up and in colder weather they can freeze causing excessive pressure to build up in engine and blowing the seal. Also the 4 cylinder is very under powered.

Bad news engine light went on not even 5 minutes later while driving suv engine running completely stopped as I acelorated from 5 to 10 mph. Couldn’t go in drive or reverse. Got stopped in the middle of the road. Used my on star to call for help. They sent racine sheriff to block traffic so I didn’t get hit. On top of the GM suppostly fixed this problem a year ago it did the same thing. They need to put a brand new transmission in not just keep replacing part by part. There is major issues.
