2013 Chevrolet Equinox

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY ENGINE STARTED RUNNING ROUGH. THEN AT THE STOP LIGHT IT COMPLETELY CUT OFF AND DID NOT START. WHEN I TOWED IT TO THE MECHANIC HE SAID THERE WAS NO OIL IN MY CAR. I AM VERY GOOD AT MY OIL CHANGES.THE ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT GIVE ME WARNINGS. I HAD TO REPLACE THE GASKET RINGS AND OTHER PARTS. $1900. NOW THE INTAKE SENSOR HAS TO BE REPLACED FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. THE MECHANIC SAYS IT IS THE SAME CODE AND THESE ENGINES ARE PROBLEMATIC. MY CAR STILL CUTS OFF VERY FREQUENTLY AT STOP SIGNS AND LIGHTS. I I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO NOTE THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THE MANIFOLD. IT CRACKED

I TOOK MY CAR INTO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP DUE TO A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS CRACKED. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS HAS BEEN A LONG-TERM, ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. AS EXHAUST FUMES CAN LEAK INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT THROUGH THE VENT SYSTEM (AS I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN WHO TOLD ME OF THE PROBLEM), AND IT HAS APPARENTLY BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR YEARS, I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD MERIT A RECALL. MY FATHER, WHO HAS BEEN AN AUTOMOTIVE MECHANIC FOR MOST OF HIS LIFE, HAS TOLD ME THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN IN A CAR THAT IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. THERE WOULD SEEM TO BE EITHER A MATERIAL, OR DESIGN, FLAW THAT IS CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN.

ORIGINAL OWNER OF VEHICLE. BURNS THROUGH FULL OIL CONSTANTLY WHILE DRIVING. HAVE TO CARRY OIL IN CAR AND CHECK OFTEN. THERE IS CURRENTLY CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OVER THIS ISSUE AS IT IS HAPPENING WAY TO MANY CARS FOR IT TO BE A COINCIDENCE. OUR OTHER 2013 CHEVY MALIBU ALSO IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND RUINED THE ENGINE BEFORE CAR LOAN WAS EVEN PAID OFF. THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING.

IRREGULAR OIL CONSUMPTION AND ENGINE PROBLEMS LEADING TO FURTHER REPAIR AND CONTINUOUS DIAGNOSIS. VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS A MILEAGE OF 127,871 AND ORIGINAL OWNER OF VEHICLE. SINCE FEBRUARY 2019, ENGINE DIAGNOSIS IS REQUIRED BETWEEN OIL CHANGES DO TO LOW IDLE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, BUT STALLING HAS NOT YET OCCURRED AT SLOW SPEEDS. DEALERSHIP HAS FOUND OIL ENGINE LEVEL LOW, CAUSING THE TIMING CHAINS TO STRETCH AND CREATING NOISE. PERFORMED ENGINE PERFORMANCE RESTORATION SERVICE TO CLEAN PISTON RINGS AND CHANGED OIL AND FILTER; RESET OIL LIFE AND CLEARED CODES. DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED TO RETURN IN 1,000 MILES TO RE-EVALUATE OIL LEVEL AND PERFORM INTERNAL ENGINE REPAIRS. PAST REPAIRS INCLUDED CAM, TIMING BELT, AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER,

CAR STARTED SHAKING AND NO CHECK ENGINE OR OIL LIGHT WAS EVER DISPLAYED. I GOT TO WORK AND ASKED MY FRIEND TO CHECK MY OIL. HE CHECKED THE OIL AND HE SAID HE DOESN?T EVEN KNOW HOW I MADE IT TO WORK BECAUSE MY CAR HAS NO OIL IN IT. MY CAR SAYS I STILL HAVE TIME TO GET MY OIL CHANGED. I NOTICED MY CAR WAS ACTING UP FOR THE LAST WEEK OR SO. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY SITTING IN MY WORK PARKING LOT AND I NEED TO HAVE SOME TO TAKE ME TO GET OIL AND THEN DROP OFF AT MECHANIC.

I PURCHASED A 2013 CHEVY EQUINOX AT TOM WOOD SUBARU ON 5/27/2019 IT WAS FREE OF RECALLS STATED BY THE CAR FAX. SINCE I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE I HAVE BEEN LOOSING OIL AND THERE IS A SLIGHT KNOCKING SOUND. I CHECKED THE OIL AND TO MY SURPRISE THERE WAS NO OIL NOR DID I RECEIVE A LIGHT ON MY VEHICLE STATING LOW OIL. I IMMEDIATELY WENT AND HAD SOMEONE TAKE ME TO GET OIL AND HAD TO PUT 3 LITERS IN MY CAR. I WENT AND HAD AN OIL CHANGE AT HARE CHEVROLET AND 2 WEEKS AFTER I NOTICED THE SOUND AGAIN AND CHECKED MY OIL AND AGAIN IT SHOWED NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK AND NO LOW OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I CONTACTED HARE CHEVROLET AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT THERE WAS A CAR BROUGHT IN LAST WEEK WITH THE SAME ISSUES I AM CALLING ABOUT AND IT COST BETWEEN $1400-3000 TO FIX. I JUST PAID $60 FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND HAD TO PURCHASE MORE OIL TO PUT IN MY SUV. I CALLED CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE AND WAS ADVISED THEY COULDN'T HELP ME AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO GET THIS FIXED. I AM FRUSTRATED BECAUSE THERE ARE 100,000 COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. OBVIOUSLY WITH THIS MANY CARS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE A RECALL SHOULD OF BEEN MADE AND STILL HASN'T.

THE ENGINE BURNS OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES, THE CAR SHAKES AND STALLS. THE TIMING CHAIN IS BROKEN, MY HUSBAND REPLACED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD DUE TO CRACKING. THIS CAR NICKLE AND DIMES YOU. I'M VERY SHOCKED THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL OR ANYTHING. NOW I AM PUTTING MY SELF MORE IN DEBT BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THE CAR WILL NEED A NEW ENGINE DUE TO ALL THE ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENING. IT STALLED ON ME AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THANK GOD MY HUSBAND HAD FOLLOWED ME HOME FROM MY JOB. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. YOU WOULD THINK GM WOULD FIX THIS ISSUE. AND THE WARRANTY THAT WAS GIVEN WITH MY VEHICLE WAS UP OVER A YEAR AGO. I TRIED TRADING THE VEHICLE IN AND NO DEALERSHIP THAT I WENT TO WANTED IT AND THEY SAID CHEVROLET EQUINOX'S HAVE THIS ISSUE ALL THE TIME. I WISH I WOULD HAVE DONE MORE RESEARCH BEFORE I GOT THE CAR. I REALLY LOVED THE VEHICLE UNTIL ALL THE STUFF THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO IT.
