2016 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

I have completed extensive research on my 2016 chevy equinox and it is my understanding this model has ongoing issues with the high pressure fuel pump. However only the newer models have been recalled for the same exact issue. I need to report the same issue with the 2016 models as well. I have never had any major issues with this vehicle until it suddenly started stalling and failing emissions inspections causing a huge monetary set back. I want to file a complaint for Chevy to acknowledge that this is an ongoing issue for not just newer vehicles and address my repairs.

Front wipers just suddenly stopped working in the middle of a Interstate Highway, during a downpour, causing to lose complete visibility.And unable to get them working again, as we're stuck on the shoulder.

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that while driving in the rain at an undisclosed speed, the windshield wipers failed to operate as needed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who replaced the windshield wiper motor. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.

It doesn't make sense how much oil this thing burns. We just had the oil changed last month and prior to that we've replaced the solenoids. Why in heavens did this vehicle stall out yesterday when my husband was driving on the highway saying engine power reduced. This vehicle is costing a fortune. There is truly something wrong with these engines! This could have cause a major crash. Thank goodness no one got hurt.

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH in inclement weather, the windshield wipers became inoperable. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The contact parked and waited until the rain showers had slowed down to continue driving to his destination. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 167,125.

I was driving my car and it just stopped working it wouldn’t turn over at all! I heard about recalls with the engine that has something to do with the oil burning to fast. I took it to the dealership and had a warranty on it but they said it was only a one year warranty and it would be 6000 for a new engine.

Get an oil change with recommended oil and schedule. Last oil change around 74k miles, there was no oil on dipstick. A week later, check engine light came on and stalled immediately. Oil level fine as it was just replenished a week prior, however now in need of cam shaft actuator repairs- which mechanic believes are attributable to the high oil burning. This needs to be addressed by Chevrolet.

I purchased my vehicle in October 2022 and in April 2023 I was driving on the freeway and the SUV turned off there were no warnings no difference in any other time I was driving all that happened right before the car turned off it was a big huge noise coming from the engine like something exploded or like a loud bang so I get my vehicle towed to GMC and the mechanic described my damage as catastrophic he had stated that he pissed in out of the engine basically causing a hole in it I'm not too entirely familiar with cars but prior is happening I had just had an oil change and I mean it might have been 30 days but I don't think it has been quite 30 days there was no life that came on in my dash I have OnStar services all of my diagnostic reports were normal so I was just completely shocked not to mention I still owe $17,000 on my vehicle so I am devastated

70,000 miles on vehicle. The engine has consistently burned excessive oil averaging 1 quart per 1,000 miles. The oil low warning light does not detect the low oil. The excessive consumption is potentially damaging to the car resulting in "bucking" at low speed, fouling of spark plugs and loss of power and efficiency.

Without any notification, alert, or code, the engine started making a ticking/knocking noise. When starting the vehicle later that day it completely stalled. Mechanic has said it was very low on oil and that is common with this year/model. The engine has failed and needs replacing/rebuilding.
