2012 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

CAR STALLS AND JERKS REALLY HARD UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON WHEN IT HAPPENS, HAD IT CHECKED AND IT SHOWS BAD CAMSHAFT SENSOR, BUT IT HAS BEEN REPLACED AND STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, THIS IS ALL AFTER THEY FIXED MY ENGINE FROM USING TOO MUCH OIL. IT STARTS FINE AND IDLES FINE BUT STALLS AND JERKS UNDER ACCELERATION, BUT IT DOESN'T ALWAYS DO THIS, IT MAINLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU DRIVE A FEW MILES STOP AT THE STORE THEN GO BACK OUT AND START IT UP. WHICH IT STILL STARTS JUST FINE, THEN WHEN YOU GO TO TAKE OFF IT DOES THE STALL/JERK WHEN YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND ISSUE AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE INTAKE/EXHAUST POSITION ACTUATORS TWICE NOW. FLUTTERING SOUND IN THE ENGINE WHEN CRANKED. NOW I HAVE (4) DIFFERENT CODES 3 OF WHICH PERTAIN TO FUEL PRESSURE REG/SYSTEM RAIL AND THE OTHER ONCE AGAIN FOR THE POSITION ACTUATOR. AND IT RAN FINE BEFORE BEING PARKED IN GARAGE FOR ONLY A COUPLE HOURS, ONCE STARTED IT SHOOK AND VIBRATED VIOLENTLY.

I HAVE A 2012 CHEVY EQUINOX WITH UNDER 76,000 MILES ON IT TELL ME IT NEED A NEW TIMING CHAIN. THE CRAMSHAFT POSITION HAS ISSUES. I TURNED THE CAR ON ONE DAY TO GO TO WORK AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAN ON I'M BEING TOLD THAT'S THE ISSUE. I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING HOW A CAR 6 YEARS OLD NEEDS ENGINE WORK TO THIS EXTENT!?

ENGINE STARTING USING 1 1/2 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 400 MILES IF WE DRIVE 1000 MILES ENGINE LIGHT COME ON THIS IS A 2012 CHEVY EQUINOX DEALER SAID THEY WILL REBUILD THE MOTOR UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WE WILL WAIT AND SEE WHAT OTHER PROBLEMS ARISE OUT OF THIS REBUILD ....PROBLEMS WE NEVER HAD BEFORE

THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL AT EXCESSIVE RATES. ONCE THE OIL IS LOW THE OIL LIGHT IS NOT COMING ON. THE ENGINE WILL STALL, BUCK, OR SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR FASTER THAN NORMAL CAUSING THE CAR TO LURCH. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING TO HAVE THE CAR STALL OR WHEN GOING FROM A STOP TO PRESSING THE GAS AND HAVE THE CAR LURCH FORWARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION AND CAUSED ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR BRIEFLY. THE CAR HAS STALLED WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND CAUSED CARS TO NEARLY REAR END ME. THE CAR HAS ALSO STALLED WHEN ACCELERATING.

FROZEN PCV VALVE CAUSED PRESSURE IN THE ENGINE WHICH CAUSED MAIN SEAL OF ENGINE TO BLOW OUT AND ALL THE OIL DRAINS OUT OF THE ENGINE .THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.ON CITY STREETS JUST DRIVING IN THE WINTER. IT WILL COST 2000.00 FOR REPAIRS

WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY, WIPERS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL GARAGE, WHO REPAIRED THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING COMPLETE WIPER ASSEMBLY AND MOTOR. MOTOR SEPARATED FROM LINKAGE. DEALER WAS OUT OF STOCK AND HAD TO ORDER PART SINCE THEY SOLD 3 THAT DAY.
