Equinox ES 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 130,472 miles

My 2011 Equinox... First off, the air conditioner went out and it cost me 1242.41, then another 306.65 for throttle body assembly (bem f00h600072 throttle body unit), then another 340.78 to diagnose an vvt solenoid remove and replace vvs1755 10 variable timing solenoid vvs1754 valve timing solenoids. And another 226.77 again with the same solenoids, then air conditioner again 207.86 309.65 throttle body assembly again. The oil was milky and made a noise with the valves after I got the oil changed this car has cost me a fortune since all of it happened after the warranty wore off. I have all the receipts and there was a few more I did not include here.

Now the car is sitting and I can't drive it because it runs hot and someone told me the last time the oil ran out, it blew my head gaskets, and it will cost several thousand dollars to fix - so now I'm screwed because I can't afford it. Chevy knew all these problems were happening and I think they should make it right - but they probably won't.
