2013 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

I WAS DRIVING AT 55MPH AND THE RED LIGHTS CAME ON SAYING TO CHECK ENGINE OIL LOW-I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY AND MY ENGINE WAS ALREADY BLOWN. I GET MY OIL CHANGES EVERY 3000-3500 MILES. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE REAR SEAL GASKET BLEW AND THE ENGINE WAS GONE IMMEDIATELY. I NOW HAVE A CAR THAT I STILL OWE ON AND I NEED A NEW ENGINE AT 120,000 MILES. VERY UPSET THAT THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR THESE CARS THAT ALL YOU CAN GET IS 120,000 MILES.

OIL CONSUMPTION - CAR DOESN'T ALERT WHEN LOW ON OIL USES OVER 3 QUARTS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. IF NO OIL CAR WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS. PREVIOUS YEARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT NOT 2013 AND NEWER.

MY CAR IS CUTTING OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS IN TRAFFIC AND WHEN PARKING ALSO AT STOP LIGHTS. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP TO HAVE IT CHECKED DUE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY COMING ON. ONLY TO FIND OUT MY CAR HAD NO OIL. NOTE I KEEP MY ROUTINE MAINTENANCE UP ON MY CAR DUE TO HAVING A SMALL CHILD. ALSO CAM SHAFT CODE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I JUST PAID CAR PAYMENT. READING COMPLAINTS I SEE THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING ALOT. NOT SURE IF I WILL KEEP THIS CAR FEELING VERY UNSAFE WITH A SMALL CHILD AND CAR CUTTING OFF AND OIL RUNNING OUT WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS GMC SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED YEARS AGO. PUTTING FAMILIES LIFE IN DANGER JUST TOO MAKE A DOLLAR. SAFETY FIRST IS MY #1 REASON FOR SHARING THIS MY CAR CUT OFF 12 TIMES IN ONE DAY REALLY & I WOULD KEEP THIS CAR .I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE CAR TURNING OFF .I HAVE TO TAKE THE KEY OUT AND RESTART IT REALLY ON 2013.I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING TO ME ONCE AGAIN I HAVE A LEMON AND I KNOW FOR FACT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM

ENGINE BURNED A QUART OF OIL PER 1,000 MILES, HAD TO MONITOR IT REGULARLY. ODOMETER HAD JUST GONE OVER 100,000 MILES. THE ENGINE HAS NOW BLOWN. HAD JUST ADDED A QUART OF OIL BECAUSE IT WAS LOW AGAIN, AND THE NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING, IT STARTED MISSING, KNOCKING VIOLENTLY, AND EXPELLED A LARGE PUFF OF SMOKE AND DIED. NOW WILL NOT START AND MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS NO OIL WAS IN THE ENGINE. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH EQUINOX WE ARE FINDING OUT, BUT DEALER STATES THERE ARE NO RECALLS.

THE CAR DIDN'T START AFTER PARKING FOR FOOD PICKUP, WE NOTICED THAT AFTER GETTING A BOOST, THE 'ENGINE LIGHT' WAS LIT, IT STAYED ON. THIS HAPPENED TWICE AGAIN, BUT WE USED OUR INSURANCE ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE, AGAIN THE 'ENGINE LIGHT' REMAINED LIT. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, WHEREAS WE PURCHASED A BATTERY CHARGER. DURING DRIVE/ WAITING AT MULTIPLE RED LIGHTS, AND BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACES, THE CAR STALLS- TO THE POINT WE PUT IT 'N', AFTER EXPERIENCING STALLS WHEN PLACED IN 'P'. THE OIL CAN BE LOW, BUT NO INDICATOR ON THE PANEL, BUT THE PANEL READS CHECK ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SO WE TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND INFORMED IT WAS THE BATTERY, SEEKING ANOTHER OPINION, WE WERE TOLD IT WASN'T THE BATTERY, BUT ANOTHER PART OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. UPON TRYING TO HAVE THE CAR INSPECTED, WE WERE TURNED DOWN DUE TO THE 'ENGINE LIGHT'. WE WENT TO A REPUTABLE CAR PART DEALER, AND INFORMED IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN, TIMING SENSOR, ALONG WITH (2) TWO OTHER CODES. THE BATTERY IS HID UNDER A HOUSING/ COVER, WHICH MADE IT HARD TO GET A BOOST, WHEN THE RECOMMENDED CHARGING PROCEDURE DIDN'T WORK. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING, AND RESEARCH LEADS US TO UNDERSTAND, THAT A COSTLY REPAIR IS AHEAD. PLUS, OUR RESEARCH OF THE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS, SHOWS THAT THEY OCCURRED IN EARLIER MODELS. THE (2013)VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM A NATIONAL CAR RENTAL AGENCY, NOV 2015, IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS DEFECTIVE AT PURCHASE TIME, WITH UNRESOLVED ISSUES AS EARLIER MODELS? ADDITIONALLY, THE CAR HAS VEERED/ JERKED TO EITHER SIDE, FROM STOP TO GO, AND WHILE DRIVING, WITHOUT US TURNING THE WHEEL. THANK THE LORD THE LATTER, OCCURRED AT LOW SPEEDS, AND DRY PAVEMENT. THE 'WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN' DATE IS THE LATEST DATE, NOT THE ONLY DATE.

I BOUGHT MY EQUINOX USED IN 2014...I HAVE BEEN GOING THRU EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION...1 QUART EVERY 1000 MILES...AND NO LIGHTS TO INDICATE LOW OIL...IT HAS AN EXTREMELY ROUGH IDLE...AND WILL DIE AT STOP LIGHTS...THIS IS A NIGHTMARE FOR A SINGLE PARENT...I HAVE TAKEN THIS IN TO MANY SERVICE REPAIR FACILITIES...ONLY TO BE TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG...SO UPON DOING RESEARCH...I'M FINDING A MAJORITY AMOUNT OF VEHICLES ARE EXPERIENCING THIS...AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE...I'VE PURCHASED NOTHING BUT CHEVROLET PRODUCTS SINCE I HAVE BEEN OLD ENOUGH TO BUY MY OWN VEHICLES...I WOULD JUST LIKE A DEPENDABLE VEHICLE THAT I PAID GOOD MONEY FOR...NOT ONE I HAVE TO KEEP SINKING MONEY INTO...THIS HAD BEEN GOING ON SINCE NOVEMBER 2016...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM INDEPENDENTLY APPLIED, BUT THERE WAS NO VEHICLE OR OBJECT IN THE PATH OF THE SENSOR. THE COLLISION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING INDICATOR DID NOT DISPLAY THE CORRECT TIRE INFORMATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MCHUGH CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (3420 MAPLE AVE, ZANESVILLE, OH), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER SPEAKING WITH A CHEVY OWNER WHO HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND HAD HIS ENGINE COMPLETELY REBUILD BY GM. I WAS OVER THE 100,000 MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY BY 1000 MILES BY THE TIME I LEARNED OF THE ISSUE. I SPECIFICALLY TOLD THE LADY AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT I WAS OVER 100K MILES AND SHE SAID IT WOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM. THE GM DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULDN'T HELP ME WITH OIL CONSUMPTION MONITORING TEST AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ONCE I GOT THERE.THE 2012 EQUINOX JUST RECEIVED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 7.5 YEARS OR 120K TO HAVE THE CONSUMPTION TEST AND ENGINE REPAIRS DONE. I NOW HAVE 119K ON MY VEHICLE AND HAVE HAD THE ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE AND OIL CONSUMPTION SINCE AROUND 80K. GM PUT A BAD ENGINE IN THIS VEHICLE AND THEY KNOW IT BUT WILL DO NOTHING TO FIX IT. I HAVE OWNED CHEVY'S FOR OVER 15 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS. GM NEEDS TO DO RIGHT BY THEIR LOYAL CUSTOMERS. IF THE ENGINE IS BAD RECALL IT BECAUSE I KNOW SEVERAL OWNERS IN THE SAME POSITION AS ME AND WE ARE LOOKING TO TAKE OUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE IN THE FUTURE. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A CHEVY "AMERICAN" MAN BUT YOU HAVE BEEN PRODUCING A CHEAP PRODUCT AND INCREASING THE COST. FIX YOUR MISTAKE AND TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM AND YOU WILL RETAIN YOUR CUSTOMERS OR GOUGE HARDWORKING PEOPLE OVER AN ISSUE YOU KNOW IS YOUR FAULT AND LOSE THEM.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION SIMILAR TO PREVIOUS YEARS HAS BEEN OCCURRING IN OUR VEHICLE. NO WARNING ON LOW OIL LEVELS. LESS THAN THREE THOUSAND MILE SINCE OIL CHANGE AND ALREADY DOWN 3 QUARTS WITH NO WARNING,
