I have 2013 chevrolet equinox...i received a letter from gm with a new warranty for excessive oil consumption. i have been having this issue for a year now. so upon receiving the new special coverage adjustment that has stipulations 7 years 6 months or 120,000... i received letter in january 2020 took my vehicle to gm dealer and was turned away because of mileage. i am not understanding why gm would put stipulations on engine parts that will damage my engine. now my issue is that this issue was not just created gm know they are responsible for these vehicles piston wearing out at a certain point but will not cover vehicles that is over 7 years 6 months or 120,000.
Driving on a road at 50mph the engine lost power slowed down and both the check engine light and stabiltrack light came message saidstabiltrac needs service. i had engine work done just two weeks ago
Engine is burning oil at an alarming rate. every 1,000 miles there will be no oil on the dip stick. no warning light has came on stating my oil is low. i could have blown my engine multiple times if i didn't check my oil regularly. this is not safe. i bought this car from a dealership 5 months ago and have already had to get 3 oil changes bc of the excessive amount of oil loss plus have had to add oil in between.
Twice in 3 yrs this car has been in the shop for a major engine issue with water getting in the valves this was detected when the check engine light came and the car is the shop for over a week each time.
My car went through all 5 quarts of oil after one month. i put 2 quarts in to tide over h til i drove directly to the oil change place to have a top off. the engine burned up 2 quarts in a 15 minute (20 mile) drive. when they checked my dip stick was empty. i am having no external leaks and my car keeps dying while driving.
I was driving on the interstate at 75 mph with cruse control. all of a sudden with no notice i heard a loud pop and the car started jerking and vibrating real bad. when i pulled over to the side of the road the inside was full of smoke and smelt like burnt oil. after looking under the car there was alot of oil dripping out and behind me. i was able to get to a gas station that was about a mile away but going about 15 mph and sounded like a riding lawnmower and jerked the whole time.
Excessive oil consumption and loose timing chain. had timing chain replaced at 93,500 miles. engine burns oil; is not leaking anywhere. this is a very common problem with this year's engine - 2.4l ecotech. chevy needs to recall these! thankfully, caught issues before anything serious happened. also had crack on boot for one spark plug causing oil to leak into there. had all spark plugs replaced while replacing timing chain.

Fell victim to the pcv valve freezing this weekend and blew out the rear main seal on my equinox. was leaving the highway when vehicle stuttered and almost stalled into oncoming traffic at bottom of exit. luckly it gained power back to avoid and accident. got home and looked the car over to find oil sprayed all over the bottom of the car. no oil lights or indicators came on to let me know the oil was gone from the car. the dipstick was dry and now i'm stuck with a $1600 bill to replace a $30 seal. car is in the shop to see if the rest of the motor survived or if it needs a rebuild and a new timing chain from the damages caused. i didn't even know there was a service bulletin for this issue but i was told my car vin wasn't involved in the issue. yet it has the same problem as those that were. car is already using about 2 quarts of oil every 1000 miles due to faulty gm piston rings that aren't in a recall hopefully the class action lawsuit helps ...
I was driving my 2013 chevy equinox and it started making a loud diesel truck type of noise on a highway going about 60 mph after around 15 minutes of driving in 1 weather. i made it to my destination and turned it off. it sat for about 4 hours in a parking lot before trying to restart it and it started for less than a minute before dying. i added 3 quarts of oil to it and it sounded slightly better. then i moved to a different spot to make sure it wasnt leaking oil which it was not before letting it sit for another 4 hours. later in the day i turned it on to get it home to sit as the dealership couldn't get it in for a week, and when i put it in reverse to check for more oil under it there was about a quart worth of oil that had sprayed all over the ground and under my car. it leaked oil the entire way back to my home about 25 minutes away and left a trail of oil up my driveway. chevy has recalled the part that is broken on my vehicle and ...
Vehicle constantly smells like gas. also is not telling me when it is low on oil and over consumption of motor oil. i have oil changes done regularly and have almost run completely out of oil 2 times in last 5 months!
Our equinox has had a check engine light come on stating the oil level is low. since we checked tsb's and had the dealer scan it and found excess consumption of oil was do to, camshaft position and timing system. this caused are vehicle to stall out in stationary locations. we asked chevy to fix the issue but no recalls have been volunteered. we've had these issues since purchasing the vehicle march 2019.
I took my car into my local chevy dealership due to a check engine light, and it was determined that my exhaust manifold is cracked. after doing research online, this has been a long-term, ongoing issue with this model. as exhaust fumes can leak into the passenger compartment through the vent system (as i was informed by the service technician who told me of the problem), and it has apparently been an ongoing problem for years, i believe this is a safety issue that should merit a recall. my father, who has been an automotive mechanic for most of his life, has told me that this should not happen in a car that is only 6 years old. there would seem to be either a material, or design, flaw that is causing this to happen.
Blown engine. large oil consumption
