I had the oil changed in my 2007 Outlook on August 30th at Goodyear. On October 26th I noticed a loud knocking noise in the engine, so I dropped it off for service at the dealership. Initially they fixed a cracked engine valve and were about to replace the timing belt, when they determined that it was really my oil filter to blame. The service tech said the oil filter had essentially been sucked into the engine. He stated that a service bulliten was put out on only using certain oil filters on the Outlook. Now the entire engine is ruined and GM will not cover it under the powertrain or extended warranties and blames Goodyear. Still waiting to see if Goodyear's insurance will cover the repair. I don't really know how I'd afford the $9000 repair on a car that I still owe $12000
Anyone else have a similar experience or have knowledge of this service bulliten?
