2013 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated while attempting to start the vehicle, the engine was not generating enough power. The contact stated that a message stating No Power along with the Check Engine warning light and other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not drivable. The contact towed the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed with the timing chain had fractured and that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired but was pending repairs. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000.

My car received a recall and special coverage notice some months ago and the recall part for the oxygen sensor was fixed but the special coverage they are not wanting to fix the dealership or Gm motors. My Cadillac converter made my pistons go bad because of the oil consumption and there was an open special coverage that I was not notified of last year in 2020 that closed and that would cover the piston ring where so they’re saying they will not cover it anymore even though it was caused by the Cadillac converter that is in the special coverage that is still open for 2022. The dealership at the Chevrolet here in my hometown tells me they are not going to fix it because the coverage is expired on both ends and they’re tired of dealing with me and to go pick up my car. They have also even recommended me to just fill it up with oil every 2500 miles when in reality it’s not even driving those 2500 miles When it eats up the oil. I am risking my car engine blowing out due to this. I am only 19 years old I got this car start my first job and I need it for my job I am risking losing my employment due to this also. They even recommended me that I could drive to my job that’s two hours at a distance back-and-forth so that would be four hours a day and that nothing would happen the next day my engine light turned on showing that the oil fill line was very low. Then they are saying that my paperwork is expired but it is not plus on the paperwork for the special coverage it say that if it is aspired to still fix the deal with the oil consumption. They are taking advantage of me because I am a young woman who is only 19 and they think that I do not know anything about it I feel unsafe driving my car and I want them to fix what needs to be fixed. They are telling me they will not fix it anymore even though the special coverage is still current and they are tired of dealing with me.They told me to go pick up my car because they will not fix it. I am tired of not being heard.

My wife was driving on the highway and the engine started to sputter and then stalled out in the middle of traffic. Mechanic said the engine was almost out of oil but no dashboard notification of any oil issue.

While traveling down one of the main highways outside of Stillwater Ok. While heading into Stillwater our 2013 Equinox lost power and died. We were almost rear ended my a semi. Thank goodness he swerved and we were able to partially be able to coast to the side of the road. As soon as we got to the shoulder and put the car in Park a HUGE puddle of oil gushed out of the car and it had to be towed. The excessive oil consumption that we were not aware of ( and we faithfully had our cars maintained, oil changed, etc) and destroyed the engine of our car. When I first started contacting GM,Chevrolet etc. I was told there was nothing wrong. We put in over $6,000 in our 2013 equinox and would appreciate very much a reimbursement. Thanks- Mp

Hello I had an open recall for the wiper transmission replacement. I took my vehicle to Don Brown Chevy in st.louis missouri. They where suppose to replace the wiper transmission. Mine failed while driving. Since my car had an open recall I should of received a replacement one installed. This dealer told me they did the recall and everything was good to go. Well they lied they did not complete my recall. I had to go buy one from the local parts place and install it my self. the new design comes with a rain deflector baffle. the original one in my car still had the paint lines on the wiper transmission from the factory install. They lied about doing the recall and endangered my life.

THERE IS DOCUMENTED HISTORY WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM THESE VEHICLES HAVE HAD. I AM JUST ONE MORE PERSON FILING THIS. I DO BELIEVE THERE IS A RISK OF INJURY IF THE VEHICLE FAILS WHILE DRIVING. I ALSO BELIEVE, HOWEVER, THAT THE ONLY WAY FOR THE MASSES OF INDIVIDUALS AFFECTED BY THE FUNDAMENTAL ENGINE ISSUE TO HAVE ANY RECOURSE IS TO HAVE A RECALL ISSUED.

MY VEHICLE IS BURNING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL AND NO OIL LIGHT COMES ON TO LET ME KNOW MY OIL IS LOW. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING BECAUSE I HAD NO OIL.I HAD TO PUT OIL IN MY CAR 3 TIMES WITHIN 3,000 MILES BECAUSE IT WAS ALMOST EMPTY. HAD TO HAVE NEW CONVERTER PUT ON DUE TO CONSUMING SO MUCH OIL. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THE SPECIAL WARRANTY TO CHANGE PISTON RINGS UNTIL MY SPECIAL WARRANTY EXPIRED. I ALSO HAD THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE AND GM IS DOING NOTHING TO HELP FIX MY VEHICLE.

I AM LOSING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT ON OIL. I HAVE REPLACED SENSORS, TIMING CHANGE, AND NOW I NEED AN ENGINE.

WHILE GETTING READY TO LEAVE WORK ONE DAY IT STARTED TO RAIN A BIT, SO I TRIED CUTTING ON MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND NOTHING HAPPENED, IT WOULDN'T MOVE AT ALL, SO I TRIED PULLING OVER AND RESTARTING THE CAR AND THEY STILL WOULDN'T WORK. I CAN STILL HEAR THE MOTOR BUT STILL NO MOVEMENT, PLEASE HELP NEED FIXED BEFORE WINTER !!
