85K MILES AND USING 3 QUARTS OF OIL WITHIN 2000 MILES. VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THERE HAVE BEEN SIMILAR ISSUES WITH 2011 AND 2012 WHERE SERVICE BULLETINS AND EXTENDED COVERAGE HAVE BEEN ADDED. DRIVING VEHICHLE AND THE ENGINE STALLS. HAD TO STOP AND RESTART. GARAGE DETERMINED IT WAS 3 QUARTS LOW ON OIL SINCE MY OIL CHANGE 2,000 MILES AGO

WHILE DRIVING MY 2013 CHEVROLET EQUINOX IN SINGLE DIGIT TEMPERATURES, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WITHIN TWO MILES, THE CAR STALLED. IT WOULD NOT RESTART. THE CAUSE WAS A DEFECTIVE PCV SYSTEM THAT GM HAS DOCUMENTED IN SERVICE BULLETIN 14882 DATED MARCH 2015. DURING COLD WEATHER OPERATION, CONDENSATION FREEZES AND PLUGS THE PCV (POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION) SYSTEM. THIS CONDITION CAUSES AN IMMEDIATE INCREASE IN THE CRANKCASE PRESSURE AND BLOWS OUT THE REAR SEAL. ONCE THE REAR SEAL IS LOST, OIL IMMEDIATELY PURGES OUT OF THE ENGINE. THIS KNOWN DESIGN FLAW CAUSED $8,500 IN DAMAGES. I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE, INTAKE MANIFOLD, SEALS ON THE INJECTOR RAIL, SPARK PLUGS, FLEX PLATE, BALANCER, THERMOSTAT HOUSING AND TUBE ASSEMBLY. THIS 5.5 YEAR OLD CAR ONLY HAD 54,500 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS FAILURE OCCURRED. IT ALSO LEFT THE DRIVER STRANDED IN SUBZERO WIND CHILL TEMPERATURES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE OIL CONSUMPTION WAS VERY HIGH (APPROXIMATELY ONE QUART PER WEEK). THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO HENNESSY GMC/CHEVROLET (7261 JONESBORO RD, MORROW, GA 30260) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 167,522.

I HAVE A 2013 CHEVY EQUINOX, 2.4L WITH A HUGE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. MY ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, AND THE VEHICLE STALL INTERMITTENTLY IF I'M SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT, AND I OFTEN HAVE CHALLENGES STARTING IT BACK UP. I PURCHASED THIS CAR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, AND BEING A SINGLE FATHER OF TWO, I DON'T HAVE THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES FOR REPAIRS.

VEHICLE IS USING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. THE VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND ONLY HAS 85,000 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE NOW DIES OR STALLS AND IS INOPERABLE. I HAVE NOTED HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND A PRIOR RECALL FOR EARLIER MODEL YEARS. A SERVICE BULLETIN WAS PUBLISHED BUT VEHICLE OWNERS WERE NEVER INFORMED OF THE WELL KNOWN ISSUE. I NOW HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS WORTHLESS AFTER BUYING IT NEW IN 2013.
