Engine light came due to the oil consumption replace intake & exhaust camshaft actuator solenoid valves
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
Due to it happening to me and from what i have seen researching now my cars engine was blown due to the lack of oil and this particular engine is prone to have an excessive consumption of oil. i was driving the car and started hearing a knocking sound i parked the car. took the plastic stuff off the top and found no oil in my engine after having a oil change not to long ago. so i had to get my car towed and i still owe on the car
The timing belt on my engine went out resulting in my vehicle dying whenever my car idled low. if i didn?t constantly give it some gas, the car would shut off. this would happen at red lights and stop sign where i couldn?t give the car gas, so i?d end up stopping in the middle of an intersection with incoming traffic. i had to get my car repaired and two different mechanics (one at a chevy dealership) said that timing belts are an issue with chevy equinox. this was the very first repair i needed done on my car and at only 77,000 miles. the mechanic at the dealership said i?d most likely only get another 50,000 miles out of the engine. that would be short of 130,000 miles. i think if timing belts are such and issue with this model of vehicle then there should be a recall on them.
I own a 2014 equinox it has 103,000. the code was for a position actuator sensor ( timing variable solenoid). i replaced it, simple fix. engine light still on. within the next couple months i realize my vehicle idles on the lower side.my vehicle almost stalled out while in a drive thru one day. once you put some gas to it seems ok. problem goes away for a while. then finally one day i go to leave work and my stabilitrak message pops up and takes many times to start. my lights act weird. car get stuck turning over and went to limp mode. i finally get it to come out of this somehow and make my long commute home, but i can tell the power in my car is lacking.no messages just a engine light with the same codes. next day my car starts fine and like nothing is wrong. car stalls out 3 times while driving out of a parking lot. barely get it home. then acts like nothing happens. stalls out while in mcdonald drive thru with my kids. will not start, had to push it to a parking spot. after 20 ...
Car is burning oil at abnormally fast rate. i have been driving with quart of oil in my car at all times since finding out about existing problem with earlier model year vehicles and noticing the pattern in my vehicle. check engine light and reduced engine power notification came on while driving on highway. the stability track notification came on as well. i am now being told by local mechanic that i may need a new engine. i was informed by local dealership that timing shaft and actuator may need to be replaced just to get the car to start. the underlying problem is the same as the existing problem in class action lawsuit for 2010-2013 models. chevrolet has built an engine that doesn't work and they need to pay for this. how many complaints does there need to be before something is done.
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.
