2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

CAR CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING SAYING REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND SERVICE SYABILI TRACK CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON

I HAVE EXPERIENCED AT LEAST 6 POWER STEERING FAILURES WHILE DRIVING IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS (JULY 2020 THRU JAN 2021) THAT ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. FAILURES HAVE HAPPENED FROM 15 MPH TO 60 MPH. ELECTRIC ASSIST SHUTS OFF AND WARNING INDICATOR FOR POWER STEERING SERVICE COMES ON. DO NOT NEED TO BE TURNING IN ANY SIGNIFICANT WAY OR IN ANY PARTICULAR DIRECTION TO TRIGGER IT. HAPPENED ON HOT DAY IN JULY AND COLD DAY IN JANUARY AND TIMES IN BETWEEN. STEERING, ESPECIALLY AT LOW SPEEDS, BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT. POWER STEERING CAN USUALLY BE RESTORED BY STOPPING VEHICLE AND TURNING SUV OFF FOR TENS OF SECONDS, SOMETIMES AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. POWER STEERING FUSE SEEMS TO BE FINE. IT SEEMS LIKE GM HAS HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS IN OTHER VEHICLES. I HAVE NOT SOUGHT REPAIR YET BECAUSE I CAN'T PRODUCE THE PROBLEM ON DEMAND.

NOTICING EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPION WITH OUT WARNING FROM THE CAR'S COMPUTER. THE CAR DOES START TO HAVE OPERATING ISSUES AND WILL CHUG AND TURN IT SELF OFF IF THE OIL DOES RUN LOW BEFORE I CAN CATCH IT. THE ONLY SYSTEM NOTIFICATION FOR THIS IS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. NO OIL NOTIFICATIONS APPEAR.

VEHICLE HAD EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION DUE TO PISTON RING WEAR. THIS LEAD TO A BEVY OF OTHER ISSUES, ICLUDING TIMING CHAIN DAMAGE, MANIFOLD DAMAGE, SELENOID DAMAGE, PISTON DAMAGE. DOCUMENTS NOT AVAILABLE FOR UPLOAD DUE TO ORIGINALS BEING WITH CLASS ACTION ATTORNEYS

1) SEATBELT LIGHT COMES ON DESPITE HAVING SEATBELTS SECURED. IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU START THE CAR AND STAYS ON THROUGHOUT ALL ASPECTS OF DRIVING UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. 2) SERVICE STABILITRAC LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY FLICKERS ON AND OFF WHILE THE RADIO FLICKERS OFF AND ON, AS THOUGH THE VEHICLE WERE POSSESSED. 3) THE PREVIOUS ENGINE CONSUMED EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. IT RESULTED IN THE PREVIOUS ENGINE BEING REPLACED A FEW MONTHS AGO. NEW ENGINE IS BURNING OIL JUST AS FAST AS THE OLD ONE. WITHING ONE MONTH THE DIPSTICK WAS REGISTERING AS BELOW THE BOTTOM LINE WITH 2 MONTHS AND APPROXIMATELY 3K MILES LEFT BEFORE NEXT SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE, PER JIFFY LUBE'S STICKER.
