A couple of days ago I started experiencing issues with vehicle. At speeds over 60 the steering wheel would shake and when coming to a stop the car would do a rocking motion. Today on the highway the car was driving fine than randomly a light popped on that said low oil consumption turn off engine and the car began excessively smoking from under hood. I pulled over and checked I the oil and it was empty added 4 quarts it was still empty looked under car and oil had leaked everywhere. No prior warning lights or check oil or low oil pressure lights were on. I get proper oil changes when due. A couple of moths back I was having several electrical issues with the vehicle as well were the lights on the dash would pop on and off air and radio would turn itself on and off, doors locking and unlocking etc. And took it to a certified Chevy dealer to have it checked and have the issue fixed and these issues were months after I had the transmission replaced after it fails months after purchasing the car.

This 2010 Chevy Equinox consumes a lot of oil, like every tank of gas I have to add oil. This shouldn't be.

I was driving down the road with my husband, three small children and unborn child when my Equinox shut off I'm the middle of me driving and white smoke appeared from under the hood. It would start but as soon as I put it into gear the engine would cut off. Finally the engine just completely stopped cutting on. My husband, a police officer and a good samaritan were able to push the Chevy off the road into the ditch safely. The Chevy then had to be towed to a car shop to get looked at. This vehicle cut off in the middle of me driving it!!! with children in the back. Then engine blew a hole through it. Less than 200,000 miles on it with brand new spark plugs and a fresh oil change. Certain models of Chevy have an engine defect which is internally in the engine. Your vehicle will burn oil with no oil light coming on to let you know. There's no leak coming from anywhere. The engine just drinks it all up within a few days and then will blow up if you're not knowledgeable about vehicles. I was on a busy road when all of this happened. We could have been seriously injured if it wasn't for us going less than the speed limit.

- Amelia Court House, VA, USA

While driving the vehicle without warning or any evidence of problem I turned the corner of a intersection and the engine while still running lost all power for acceleration. Luckily there was no injury to myself or the vehicle. I shut the engine off and it would not restart, there seemed to be no pressure it was later determin hat the timing chain and camshaft broke sending metal through out the engine. Resulting in the need for a new engine. This is problem cause by the oil consumption recall on this vehicle which I did have repaired. The oil was full and truck drove great one minute then the next minute the engine was gone Chevy needs to evaluate and help consumers with these type problem related to known recalls. We have invested or money in a product that fails us due to engineering issues causing the consumer added expenses

General Motors have been at no assistance to me since my purchase of my 2010 Chevrolet Equinox I purchased it February/March of 2016 and have had continuous issue with the vehicle, I contacted the place of purchase and General Motors numerous times about the complaint of my vehicle. Also with the attached proof of repairs I referred to the dealers who did the repairs and General Motors of any current recalls. Back in October 2019 my check engine light came on because my converter went out and my 100K warranty expired, GM was not in understanding and would not assist. Then I did my own research and found there was a oil consumption law suite and a separate special extended warranty in the catalytic converter but only until 120K. My issue is General Motors will not assist me due to me being over the 120K mileage even though I inquired about it time after time since the time I purchased the vehicle. I have kept up to date in my address even when I moved out of state. I'm just looking for assistance in why my vehicle is not covered under the law suite or covered with the special warranty with my catalytic converter. I never received any mail notification and all my repairs were done at a licensed certified general motor dealer and they are aware of this issue/recalls and I was not told of the issues. I would just like to get my vehicle fixed since I spent so much money on it as it is. I had to do my own research online to find this information which could of been avoided if I was contacted front the beginning. I was never notified of a recall but once back in 2016 for a windshield wiper recall

I bought my used 2010 Chevy Equinox from the dealer, and 2 weeks later the service stabilitrak light came on. Took it to the dealer, they did an alignment and the same day the light came back on with traction control light. The next day I went to the grocery store, and when I tried to start it to leave it wouldn't start. After 2 tries, it finally started but then the reduced engine power light came on and wouldn't go above 25 mph. Eventually the vehicle powered down and I had to pull over for a tow truck to come. The Chevy dealer said it was the main timing chain (not covered) and something else in the engine but I would have to pay for labor to disassemble it. My car has been out of service and sitting at the dealer for now 10 days. Luckily I wasn't on the highway when this happened, and decided to go to the store before heading to work. Carfax reports indicate the timing chain and fuel pump was replaced at 40,000 miles already. I see a lot of people with this problem in much scarier situations. I believe this should be a recall before something happens.

- Lansing, MI, USA

My engine has been burning oil ever since I bought it about 4 years ago. It is a 2010 Chevy Equinox, which I bought used from a dealership. There is a class action lawsuit that was just accepted for reimbursement of cost associated with previous repair, due to the oil burning. Although, I never had to pay to get it repaired since I was putting in oil about every week to two weeks since I found the issue. I'm very upset, because the issue should be a recall for everybody who has the issue to be able to get it repaired. Since the oil issue is known and a class lawsuit has been filed and accepted, it should go for all vehicles, not just the vehicles people didn't look after and let them brake. The oil burning issue is very bad and it will cost me a lot of money to get fixed. Therefore, it should be a recall and I should be allowed to get the issue fixed for free as it is a known problem for this vehicle.

- Hammond, IN, USA

Vehicle was in motion approximately 45 mph when check engine light came on, message then appeared that engine power is reduced and speed immediately dropped to around 15 mph and then to a rough idle at approx 5-10mph. Was almost rear ended by vehicle traveling behind me. I was able to limp remaining 2 miles home and contacted dealer. Appointment was made and dealer reported code P2135 and replaced throttle body..dealer said throttle didn't know up from down. Dealer stated this is a common problem with the Equinox. I have read many complaints online about this same issue with other owners reporting being put in a dangerous position with the sudden drop in speed like we were. I contacted Chevy GM and they said there were no recalls. If rapid acceleration has been treated by other companies as recall worthy, I dont understand why Chevy does not consider this recall worthy. I have attached the repair report with this complaint.
