2013 Chevrolet Equinox

While my husband was driving to work at 5:30a.m., may 2022, on the highway, the car started shaking, puttering and making noise.made it to a gas station and checked oil and car had no oil, no warning lights ever came on car had recently gotten an oil change and no where close to 3,000 miles for another oil change yet and display check said I had 58% life of oil. As a result engine blew and was junk, car only had 128,000 miles and did oil changes faithfully. Car sat in driveway for almost a year as I had just paid it off month before this happening. I struggled to save money for new engine and have been waiting for one since March this year. The manufacturer knew of oil consumption burning at high rates and owners getting no warning and new engines would blow and be junk.they did extend some warranty,but only till a certain mileage, which I believe is wrong and should have been offered to everyone regardless of this. I only found out after this happened to me and was to late, how would I know this to happen…… please help me get engine covered as I’m disabled and need car…

I went to Walmart to get an oil change. 8 days later while I was driving my SUV began making a knocking sound. I pulled over at a convenience store, checked the oil level and there was no oil in the SUV. I added 1 quart of oil and called Walmart to tell them what was going on. Walmart asked me to bring the SUV back since it had only been 8 days. Walmart added oil to my SUV but the car would not start afterwards. The mechanics had to push my car out of the service area. I had my car towed to GMC for diagnostics, inwhich they told me I would need to replace the engine. I kept up with my service work and had paid the SUV off 7 months prior so this was so frustrating.

For the past 2 years i have had my vehicle in the shop for repairs that have been unnecessary. The car would display check engine light, to the car jerking, and not wanting to accelerate, to shutting completely off at times. I have had the transmission replaced 2 times. To as of today april 8th,2023 mechanic at carmax where i have been taking car for every issue since i purchased it from them. Now says it has a oil consumption issue. Which i have had to take the vehicle back to carmax many times for . And yet still the issue is not fixed. Now they want me to pay for a new long block engine. And say that there is no special coverage from chevy for this oil consumption issue now.
