2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

EXCESSIVE Oil Consumption after 87,000 miles. Always had regular/up-to-date oil changes and took care of the vehicle. Had an oil change in June 2023 and in August (not may miles driven in that time frame), while driving I noticed the vehicle started to jerk...after arriving at work I checked under the hood and noticed there was NO OIL on the stick. I also added some antifreeze since I was there and it needed just a little. Purchased oil and filled it up. Two weeks later...again, no OIL on the stick. Less than 200 miles driven during this time. Now checking my oil every 3 days. October 2023, check engine light came on--took it to get checked and was told I was out of antifreeze. This was the only issue they could locate...no blown gaskets, etc. The AutoZone put antifreeze in to the level it should be and the next day I was almost empty again. This was well under 90 miles driven. There are NO WARNINGS, EXPENSIVE TO KEEP BUYING OIL AND ANTIFREEZE--RISK OF ENGINE BLOWING, BREAKING DOWN-GOD FORBID I HAVE MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME. Two years ago the wipers went...heavy storm and they just all of a sudden stopped. Couldnt even see to pull over. Had my three kids with me and had to put the window down to try to see how I could pull over. I didnt know until a while later there was a recall. Numerous electrical issues....radio stops working when it wants too. Backup camera sometimes stays on while driving down the road, the driver side rear door won't unlock all the time.

Timing chain broke in 2020. Engine was replaced with a remanned engine with the approved upgraded timing chain. October 2023, upgraded timing chain broke again causing the need for a 2nd new engine with less than 75,000 miles on the remanned motor.

Vehicle began to lightly shake during idling and then over the course of a week, started making a loud noise. Appointment was made with shop and vehicle parked until time to take to shop. Timing chain/belt broke while driving and had to be towed into shop. Engine found to be completely ruined because it was 4 quarts low on oil after only 5600 miles. Vehicle was not leaking oil and it was determined that the engine burned through it. No warning lights, low oil sensors or any other indication that anything was wrong until the timing belt broke. Engine had to be completely replaced.

Vehicle is stalling when stopping and starting to go. Service engine light came on had it it scanned, found it to be the camshaft position sensor. Called my local dealer as to find out if there is any recall on this, and they said that there is not. I believe there should be a recall on this part as is it is a safety issue, as stated the vehicle was stalling and you lose all power. When starting to pull out in traffic you will be left with no power as the engine stalls and you have to put the vehicle in neutral and restart it.

I was driving down the interstate during a rainstorm when my windshield wipers stopped working. It made it impossible to see. It continued to rain that whole week so I took my car into the shop immediately to get the windshield wipers looked at and had to get a rental car in the meantime since I could not drive without the windshield wipers with it raining in North Carolina the whole week. I also needed the rental car to get to work while the car was in the shop. I recieved a call from the Chevy dealership and they said there had been a recall on the a part related to the windshield wipers and that the issue with my wipers was due to that part failing. I have never recieved information from Chevy on the recall for the windshield wiper part. If I would have known I would have gotten it replaced to avoid the issues I have had to go through. Because I could not see when my windshield wipers failed it not only put me at risk but others on the road. It was very sudden and scary. The vehicle has been inspected and fixed by the manufacturer. There was no warning signs, it was very random. I was able to get the part fixed for free but the part had to be ordered by the chevy dealership and I had to have my rental car for two days. It was a very expensive fix, although the part was replaced, because I had to have the rental car. It was $388.54 for the rental car.
