2013 Chevrolet Equinox

Initially, 6 months or so after owning the vehicle, the PCV reported tech bulletin occurred for me, and my rear main seal blew, causing $2000+ in repairs. Then, the Engine stalled out on the coldest day of the year, got an engine replacement under warranty from my dealership, that replacement engine had 66k miles (rebuilt) and was only driven around 5,000 miles when the same issue happened. “Reduced engine power” “Service stabilitrak” this time it was in 98° heat leaving me and my dog stranded on the highway. I’ve had it diagnosed with a shop, and they have stated for the second time my vehicle has had timing issues, jumped time, I believe this is related to the timing issues and oil consumption issues that GM has already reported to be an issue with some of these models. I am now down the $3000 I’ve put into fixing this car and it’s various t leach bulletin reported issues, as well as out of a car now, due to warranty being expired, and still needing to make payments on this unsafe vehicle. Only have the engine replacement receipt on hand, but can gather new diagnostic as well as PCV valve repair receipt upon request.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was not able to be restarted. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine needed to be replaced due to excessive oil consumption. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000.

Purchased car from dealer on 7/1, car seemed fine at dealer and then died. Took car to oil change place, discovered underneath frame completely rotted out. Called dealer, dealer unwilling to fix, replace or refund vehicle. Had car further inspected to find complete engine, transmission, frame, axle, steering, brake issues. There were no signs of anything wrong at the dealership.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated while performing a routine check on the vehicle, the contact noticed that the oil lever was low, and the dip stick was dry. The contact added 2 quarts of oil and the following day the oil level was still low. The vehicle was not diagnosed. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was contacted. The failure mileage was 86,300.

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…
