It is clear to me that this failure is through no fault of my daughter and is likely due to a design flaw that manifests in cold weather areas having to do with water build up that freezes near the for PVC hose connection that causes pressure build up to blow out the seal. She does not have an extended warranty, the car has about 110k miles, we knew the previous owner and the car has been meticulously maintained it's entire life. She is devastated and does not have this kind of money for a car we thought was solid. Rebuilding the engine is about $8,000 - a new engine is going to cost $9,500. She had a catastrophic engine failure as the rear main seal failed, and before she could make it to the shoulder of the highway, all the oil drained and the engine seized. My daughter's 2017 Equinox sat in our driveway for a couple of days before she started driving home.
