2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

BULLETIN #14882. MY CAR IS AT 124,532 MILES WHEN THE REAR MAIN SEAL BLEW OUT DUE TO FREEZING OF THE PCV VALVE. AFTER MANY TIMES OF THIS CAR BEING IN THE SHOP GETTING REPAIRED, THEY WEREN'T WILLING TO TAKE ANY OF THE RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX IT, DUE TO THE MILES OF THE CAR BEING BARELY OVER THEIR LIMIT. I FEEL THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING TO HELP ME OUT.

TIMING CHAIN, WATER PUMP, TENSIONER ALL WENT BAD, CAUSING FURTHER INTERNAL PROBLEMS. CAME TO A STOP AND WOULD NOT RE-START. CHEVROLET REQUIRED AN "AUTHORIZED" DIAGNOSIS. CHEVROLET HAD PREVIOUSLY EXTENDED WARRANTIES ON THIS MOTOR TO 120,000 MILES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I HAD 124,600, SO CHEVROLET REFUSED TO HELP. COST ME OVER $2400 AND THE CAR STILL WON'T RUN. PER INTERNET SEARCHES, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 4-CYL ECO TECH ENGINE. (I BELIEVE CANADA REQUIRED A RECALL ON THIS ENGINE!)

I WAS ON THE WAY TO THE STORE WITH MY TWO CHILDREN I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY AND THE CAR DIDNT WANT TO PULL. I LET OFF THE GAS AND PUSHED THE GAS AGAIN I STARTED THINKING MAKE IT JUST HAD SOME TRASH OR SOMETHING CAUSE THE CAR DID FINE. I GOT TO THE STORE AND PULLED IN THE PARKING LOT THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE AT ALL. I HAD IT TOWED MY THE CHEVY PLACE AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THE INNER TRANSMISSION SEEING THAT IT HAS HAD OTBER TRANSMISSION ISSUE MIGHT WANT TO TAKE A LOOK THAT THE WHOLE UNIT OF THE TRANSMISSION. THANKS

I PURCHASED THIS CAR AS USED. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT THERE WAS A TICKING SOUND THAT COULD BARELY BE HEARD. THE DEALER SAID THAT WAS COMMON. FOR VEHICLES SITTING IN THE LOT. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK ONCE IT GOT A LITTLE LOUDER AND THEY SAID MOST FUEL PUMPS MAKE THAT SOUND OVERTIME BUT THERE WAS NO ISSUE. AND THAT THE MANIFOLD WAS CAUSING THE LOUD NOISE AND GAS SMELL. AND NEEDED TO GET REPAIRED. THAT WAS DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD .NOW AN YEAR LATER. A WEEK AGO MY CAR STARTED MAKING THE SAME SOUND AGAIN AND BEEN GETTING LOUDER. MY CHECK ENGINE WAS BLINKING A D I NOTICED THE CAR WASN'T DRIVING AS SMOOTHLY AND WAS USING UP MORE GAS.AN ENGINE POWER REDUCED LIGHT CAME ON AND MY ENGINE JUST CUT OFF.I HAD TO GET IT TO TOWED TO A SHOP AND THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP PRESSURE. I SEE THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF ISSUES WITH FUEL PUMP ON THIS VEHICLE AND A TSB RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS IT IS CAUSING THE ENGINE TO CUT OFF. THIS HAPPENS TO ME ON A BUSY STREET. THANK GOD I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY I GET ON TO GO TO WORK

2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX 2.4L ENGINE IS BURNING OIL. I TOOK THIS TO THE DEAL AND WAS PUSHED AWAY SAYING I HAD OIL LEAK. THIS IS NOT TRUE. I TOOK MY 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX TO SECOND DEALER AND THEY ADVISED THE WAS METAL SHAVINGS AND THE OIL CONSUMPTION WAS USELESS BECAUSE THE OF THE SHAVINGS. NOW GM WILL NOT REPLACE THE ENGINE, I PROVIDED THE REQUESTED DOCUMENTS SO THAT THE DEAL COULD MAKE THE EXCEPTION TO REPLACE THE ENGINE BUT WAS DENIED. EVERY TIME I GO TO START THE ENGINE AND DRIVE OFF IT STALLS.
