Description of the problem	On 02-09-15 the vehicle was purchase with the current warranty & an extended warranty. The vehicle had low mileage at purchase date. Prior to the purchase we reviewed the vehicle history report and mentioned only a hood latch repair and did not mention 09-04-14 a recall repair on the pcv valve #4 spark, replacement and reprogramming. As we started off on our trip the dash was reading 39 mpg, that was great! Further into the trip before getting on the highway the tire pressure light came on. We check the tires they were fine. Thinking it may have been the cold weather per the manual. We continued on to our trip. On the way back home the mpg was at 34 and then all of a sudden the car went in to low gear on the highway! The traction control came on, check engine light came on and a number of other lights came on. We had to ride the shoulder until we got to an exit and drove into a gas station. Calling road side assistance for a tow. The vehicle did not have a enough power to drive onto the tow truck. It was later discovered at the car dealer (not the one we purchased from) the repairs that were done on the vehicle and not disclosed to us when purchasing the vehicle. The defect was burning excessive oil. The recall repair on the pcv had other manufacture defects. It's been 10 days and the car has not been repaired. I had contacted gm and asked what was done to correct the issue i currently have and the previous owner had. They were very professional and told me they will create a service request file and to call them when a diagnostics is completed, in short they did not answer my question. They already had record of the first repair on the pcv recall. The dealer where the car is located told us the pistons have to be replaced and don't know when it will be done. A loaner was given so we could get back home 200+ miles. Our first payment is due & no car.
