2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

On the morning of 7/1/24, I drove my vehicle to work as usual. There were no exceptional incidences and the only warning light on the dashboard was that of a malfunctioning tire sensor. I parked at my job as usual. There were no signs of overheating or smoking and there were no warning lights on the panel except for what was previously mentioned. That evening, as I was leaving, the car started and stopped after driving about 2 yards. It would not start again afterward and I wound up having it towed to my mechanic. He told me that I had no oil and that the engine was irreparably damaged and would need to be replaced. Again, there were no warning lights on the dashboard alerting me of low oil or engine overheating prior to this incident. As a matter of fact, the check engine light did not turn on either. Of course this would happen just as I finished paying off the car. So now I am forced to spend $3k+ to replace the engine. It is a shame that so many people are having the same issue with this make/model and Chevy should make reparations to those that have been affected.

Bought this car in February 2024 and ever since then I have had nothing but problems with the engine. The first problem happened 12 days after I had bought it and it magically disappeared all the oil which end up causing a timing issue I should not have had no oil after getting an oil change 12 days before. I ended up having to get the engine replaced with a used engine. And then it was back-and-forth to The Shop or five times before I could actually keep my car longer than a few hours. And now with the Hughes engine, we are back to the same problem heavy oil consumption which means there is a problem with the 2.4 L L4 engine, it should not be consuming 5 quart of oil less than 2000 miles of driving.

My 2015 Chevy Equinox is burning oil at an alarming rate. I just found out I have been driving this car with NO oil. I had no indicator lights come on warning me of any danger. I have only 68000 miles on this car and they are telling me I need a new engine. I still owe $15,000 on this car that I have only had for 8 months...and they want me to pay $9000.00 for a new engine on a defect that GM knows about. My [XXX] drives this car (well I won't let him now) but what if the engine blew while he was driving? This is a VERY DANGEROUS defect and people can get seriously hurt.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH during a rainstorm, the windshield wipers were not functioning. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the windshield wiper module. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V165000 (Visibility) the VIN was included, and the vehicle had been repaired, but the failure still occurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,000.

Timing chain broke at 150,000 miles. I have only had the car for a year and a half. This is a known issue for the 2015 Equinox and the warranty company doesn't want to cover it, even though I have a 2 year 24,000 warranty on it. I have only driven 19,000 miles so I'm clearly within the window.

I am constantly having to add oil and get oil changes it burns through oil about 3 quarts every month if not more and it is costing me way more than I should have to be doing and it is a serious problem that something should be done about

Our 2015 Chevrolet equinox burns excessive oil… we’re constantly low on oil and we looked it up in the 2013 Chevy equinox had a recall for the same issue… it’s the same engine as the 2013, but there was no recall on this one. It’s been happening for a while

The light is showing “0“ PSI, Service Tire Monitor System, tire sensor but not sure if it’s the tire or dash

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine seized. The contact stated that the Chevrolet mobile app indicated that the oil level was at 50 percent. The contact coasted the vehicle to a nearby Walmart. The Walmart attendant checked the oil level and concluded that there was no oil in the oil pan. The Walmart attended added two quarts of oil to the engine however, the vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to Midas where the vehicle was diagnosed with engine failure. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed with engine failure. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The contact was informed that, due to the excessive mileage, the repair did not qualify to be covered under warranty. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

at about 100,000 miles it started using a lot of oil. I have to put a quart in at about every 1,000 miles. There is a lot of pressure when you remove the oil cap at idle. I never addressed the wiper issue because I changed the parts myself about 6 months before I got the recall.I won't be buying another chevy!
