PCV hose cracked and dripping engine oil. I described the exact location but they still said "no fault found". Cruise control sometimes stops working after driving for more than 20 minutes. They said there were no codes and therefore nothing more they could do. They didn't even drive the vehicle. Received a letter from GM instructing me to get my electric power steering motor replaced if I had experienced any "PRW STR" warning messages. Dealer said there were no recalls and would not investigate further.  Exhaust rattles after engine is started and sometimes while driving. Dealer said they could not duplicate the concern. Engine knocks/rattles very intermittently at idle once at operating temp. Dealer would not investigate further since I could not reproduce the noise when I dropped off the car.
