I bought my used 2010 chevy equinox from the dealer, and 2 weeks later the service stabilitrak light came on. took it to the dealer, they did an alignment and the same day the light came back on with traction control light. the next day i went to the grocery store, and when i tried to start it to leave it wouldn't start. after 2 tries, it finally started but then the reduced engine power light came on and wouldn't go above 25 mph. eventually the vehicle powered down and i had to pull over for a tow truck to come. the chevy dealer said it was the main timing chain (not covered) and something else in the engine but i would have to pay for labor to disassemble it. my car has been out of service and sitting at the dealer for now 10 days. luckily i wasn't on the highway when this happened, and decided to go to the store before heading to work. carfax reports indicate the timing chain and fuel pump was replaced at 40,000 miles already. i see a lot of people with this problem in much scarier situations. i believe this should be a ...
Vehicle was in motion approximately 45 mph when check engine light came on, message then appeared that engine power is reduced and speed immediately dropped to around 15 mph and then to a rough idle at approx 5-10mph. was almost rear ended by vehicle traveling behind me. i was able to limp remaining 2 miles home and contacted dealer. appointment was made and dealer reported code p2135 and replaced throttle body..dealer said throttle didn't know up from down. dealer stated this is a common problem with the equinox. i have read many complaints online about this same issue with other owners reporting being put in a dangerous position with the sudden drop in speed like we were. i contacted chevy gm and they said there were no recalls. if rapid acceleration has been treated by other companies as recall worthy, i dont understand why chevy does not consider this recall worthy. i have attached the repair report with this complaint.
Vehicle is exhibiting stall and quitting actions at stop lights and stop signs. also excessive oil consumption having to change oil or add oil

General motors have been at no assistance to me since my purchase of my 2010 chevrolet equinox i purchased it february/march of 2016 and have had continuous issue with the vehicle, i contacted the place of purchase and general motors numerous times about the complaint of my vehicle. also with the attached proof of repairs i referred to the dealers who did the repairs and general motors of any current recalls. back in october 2019 my check engine light came on because my converter went out and my 100k warranty expired, gm was not in understanding and would not assist. then i did my own research and found there was a oil consumption law suite and a separate special extended warranty in the catalytic converter but only until 120k. my issue is general motors will not assist me due to me being over the 120k mileage even though i inquired about it time after time since the time i purchased the vehicle. i have kept up to date in my address even when i moved out of state. i'm just looking for assistance in why my vehicle is not covered under the law suite or covered with the special ...

This car burns oil fast and i learned the hard way. 2 years after buying the car all the pistons in the engine bent due to lack of oil. when the car was getting fixed the mechanic said it was bone dry and i had just had an oil change 2 months prior. $3,200 later the car was fixed, but it still had issues shifting. in colder weather the car felt like it would barely move. i had no real mechanical issues until a year later. i had driven it 45 miles and stopped at a gas station, when i went to turn the car back on all of the emergency lights came on as well as the 'stabilitrak' light and the car wouldn't move. the only way i could get it to move was by turning the traction off, and was thankfully able to drive it home. i got it into the gm dealership and they said the stability track and the crankshaft needed replaced. my abs light was still failing and i'm total it was another $1,400 of work. now the engine seems to be making a cranking noise. i'm tired of wasting money on this piece of ...
