2013 Chevrolet Equinox

MY 2013 CHEVY EQUINOX STARTED BURNING OIL AROUND 80,000 MILES AND WHEN I BROUGHT IN FOR OIL CHANGE TO CHEVY DEALERSHIP THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID SOME CARS BURN OIL. NO BIG DEAL THEY SAID JUST KEEP CHECKING OIL AND FILL IF LOW. SO DID THAT FOR YEARS AND NOW OVER 120K (170K NOW) I RECEIVED LETTER FOR RECALL IF I'M UNDER 120K BRING CAR IN TO FIX. BUT NOW I'M OVER 120K MILES THEY WON'T FIX IT. SO NOW CAR IS GETTING WORSE BY THE MILE AND BLOWING GREY SMOKE OUT MY MUFFLER. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY WON'T FIX MY PROBLEM. I SHOULD OF HAD THEM NOTE IN COMMENTS ABOUT MY BURNING OIL ISSUE. I NOW HAVE TO PUT 1 QUART IN EVERY 1000 MILES AND THE QUOTE FROM CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO FIX IS OVER $4,000. EVEN MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WON'T COVER IT SAYING IT'S A GM RECALL AND THEY DON'T FIX WHEN GM SHOULD FIX IT. I HAVE ALWAYS CHANGED OIL EVERY 6,000 MILES AND PAPER BACK UP TO PROVE IT BUT THAT DOESN'T MATTER I GUESS. WHAT A SHAME BECAUSE I LOVE MY EQUINOX BUT NOW GM WON'T FIX IT I PROBABLY WON'T BUY ANOTHER GM CAR. SO STILL MAKING PAYMENTS TO GM FINANCIAL FOR A CAR THAT'S NOT WORK WHAT I OWE AND WITH THIS ISSUE THE VALUE OF CAR IS NEXT TO ZERO. NEED CAR TO MAKE MONEY SO I HAVE TO FIX IT.

HELLO, I BOUGHT THIS 2013 2 WEEKS AGO. HAD IT CHECKED OUT BY THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN EXTRA CHARGE AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT! FAST FORWARD 2 WEEKS TO THE DAY I GOT THE CAR....CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON...OIL ETC....TOOK TO MECHANIC AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO OIL, I GOT A $100 OIL CHANGE AND THE NEXT DAY THE OIL WAS GONE AGAIN AND HAS CREATED ME A PROBLEM NOW THAT I CAN'T GET TO AND FROM. WHAT'S GOING ON? HOW COME CONSUMERS AREN'T BEING MADE AWARE OF THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE BEFORE PURCHASING A VEHICLE? DISGUSTING!

MASSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION! IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES CONSTANTLY NEEDING TO PUT IN AT THE LEAST A 5 QUART JUG OF OIL. IN TURN CAUSING MY CAR TO JUMP AT STOPLIGHTS ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HIT THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME WHICH WAS CAUSED FROM LOW OIL. THEN IT IS NOW CAUSING MY ENGINE TO MISFIRE. WHICH INCLUDES VERY POOR ACCELERATION WHICH ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS I WAS CROSSING ACROSS ANOTHER STREET TO ALMOST GET HIT FROM THE SIDE AND ANOTHER TIME WHEN TURNING SAME THING ALMOST HAPPENED. THEN WHEN MY CAR IS IN PARK IT IS STARTING TO STALL OUT. NOW NEEDING TO BRING IT TO A SHOP ONCE AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, AN EXPLOSION OCCURRED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT CALLED ONSTAR AND A POLICE WAS SENT OUT TO ASSIST WITH MOVING THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TOWED TO ROGER DEAN CHEVROLET (2235 OKEECHOBEE BLVD, WEST PALM BEACH, FL 33409). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THREE DAYS LATER, THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED AND THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR COST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TWO YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED A TRANSPORTER TO TRANSPORT THE VEHICLE BACK TO HER RESIDENCE IN DELAWARE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 139,000.

MY VEHICLE NOW HAS AN ENGINE PROBLEM DUE TO MY OIL BURNING REALLY FAST. I HAVE TAKEN IT UP TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN NOTICING A WEIRD TICKING SOUND IN MY ENGINE. THEY TOLD ME ITS BECAUSE MY OIL WAS VERY VERY LOW AND IT HAS ALREADY STARTED TO AFFECT MY ENGINE. I ONLY DRIVE TO WORK AND BACK WITH ME CAR MOSTLY ON MAIN PAVED ROADS AND SOMETIMES ON THE HIGHWAY. I NOTICED THE SOUND MORE WHEN I WAS IN TOWN MAINTAINING MY SPEED AT 25 MPH THE TICKING SOUND WAS VERY LOUD. IT WOULD ALSO SOUND LOUD IF I WAS TURNING RIGHT AND/OR LEFT. I WOULD ONLY NOTICE THE TICKING SOUND WHEN THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. WHEN IT IS STATIONARY I WOULD NOT HEAR THE TICKING SOUND. I AM VERY SCARED TO CONTINUE DRIVING MY CAR BECAUSE I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD THAT GOES EVERYWHERE WITH ME AND I DON'T WANT TO PUT HER IN ANY HARM.
