Pcv valve froze causing rear main seal leak. car began to leak excessive oil.
The transfer case failed while the suv was in motion on a city street within a week after an oil change / transmission fluid flush & fill service at the dealership. i called the dealership to ask about the part and it is on back order so, this seems to be a common issue with this vehicle.
While driving the vehicle, it will randomly turn off. i will then have to place the vehicle in park, turn off the vehicle, and restart it in order to begin driving again. this happened while turning.
I was driving down a highway at 65 miles per hour my engine started to flutter when noticing that i pulled over right away and my engine shut off. i had to have my vehicle towed to the dealership after the dealership took a look at it they realized it was a pcv clog from condensation getting in to the pcv valve. i have 72000 miles on my vehicle so there is no more drive train warranty i bought the extended warranty however they will not cover it because they do not cover clogs. upon researching this i found out that chevy had a lot of these and actually extended warranties on vehicles from 2010 to 2014 for the same issue. they have never said anything about fixing the issue in the articles i have read. upon hearing this information from the dealership i contacted another dealership which that they had 6 vehicles in their for this same exact thing they told me that it's a known issue especially when it gets cold. chevrolet will not cover this knowing it is a problem. attached is the service bulletin where it list the models and where chevy had extended the warranty for those make and models.

On october 1, my mother (passenger) and i were involved in a roll back accident at my apartment complex. i put the vehicle in park and exited the vehicle. i remained outside of the vehicle for 1-2 minutes. i returned to the driver's side, opened the door, and proceeded to enter the cabin. upon opening the driver's door, the vehicle began to roll back, even though the car was in park. i was caught between the vehicle door, with half of my body/extremities (the right side) in the cabin, and my left extremities outside of the vehicle. i was dragged 10-15 feet. my mother was in the front passenger seat with her with safety belt. the vehicle hit an embankment (with a 6-7 foot drop) that leads to a gazebo that covers our mailing center. the rear of the vehicle crashed into the wooden fencing and the roof and columns of the gazebo. the front end was stuck in the embankment; the rear end crashed into the roof, but was suspended above a 6-7 foot drop. police and firemen assessed the situation, and suspected that the incident may have happened as a result of a malfunctioning transmission and/or break system. no fault was determined in the incident.
Car started smelling horrible anytime it was running, would make me and my kids physically sick breathing the air coming inside the vehicle.my daughter had pneumonia 4 months ago, and my husband had a severe case of pneumonia 2 weeks ago. not to mention all the respiratory related problems in the last year the entire family has been having. chevy would not look at my car, i called multiplke times telling them my car is so foul smelling i cant drive it anymore and its not a dead anmial because we searched every compartment there is....and they said its a dead mouse or animal and that warranty doesnt cover that so its not there problem..after over a week of me calling and having my husband (a certified mechanic) calling them non stop, they agreed to look at it..its not an animal it is just alot of mold that is growing all over the cars heating and air conditioning condenser system! and all this time its just been flowing mold bacteria into my vents! its summer i use a/c everyday if i am driving.... we've just been breathing it in for who knows how long...i bought this car 9 months ago brand new and now after only 16,000 miles its a breeding ground for mold inside my hvac unit? i wont be able to get rid of that smell, and what about my seats or clothing or damage that has already been done from this mold and bacteria? they said gm will give me a rental for 5 days.....but parts will take up to 4 to even come in before they will even start fixing the "issue". my daughter is 2 years old and had pnemonia 2 times already.
After a month of ownership and about 900 miles my new equinox with v6 and awd developed a howling noise when driving on rural roads at about 30-40 mph the howling stays with the car and can be heard on highways at 60 mph. the car has also developed a whining noise both of which general motors claim are normal noises for this vehicle. gm calls this condition "driveline echo". to my knowledge the gmc terrain an identical vehicle does not have this problem. i personally had a 2013 with no problems and a friend had a 2014 with no problems. it appears the problem has started with the 2015 model year. gm acknowledges the problem why can't they be made to repair it? *tr
