The engine burns oil in between oil changes, the car shakes and stalls. The timing chain is broken, my husband replaced the exhaust manifold due to cracking. This car nickle and dimes you. I'm very shocked that this has not been a recall or anything. Now I am putting my self more in debt because I cannot afford to fix this issue. The car will need a new engine due to all the issues that have been happening. It stalled on me at a traffic light thank god my husband had followed me home from my job. I have read that this is not the first time this has happened. You would think GM would fix this issue. And the warranty that was given with my vehicle was up over a year ago. I tried trading the vehicle in and no dealership that I went to wanted it and they said Chevrolet Equinox's have this issue all the time. I wish I would have done more research before I got the car. I really loved the vehicle until all the stuff that has been happening to it.

- Woodbury, NJ, USA

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Equinox. While the contact was retrieving items from the vehicle, the front passenger tire exploded unexpectedly while in park. Also, while driving various speeds, various warning indicators, including the air bag, check engine, and power steering, illuminated intermittently. In addition, the serpentine belt fractured on three separate occasions due to a defective pulley inside the engine. The contact took the vehicle to various independent mechanics to have it serviced; however, the serpentine belt and the warning indicator failures persisted. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 8,000.

The engine oil consumption is 5 to 6 quarts of oil in 3000 miles. This often results in violent vehicle jerking, as well as stability and power reduction, resulting in the engine power to be reduced causing potential collisions in traffic. This can occur and has occurred both when stopping and while in motion.

Noise and burning around 6 quarts of oil a week

The check engine light is in. I had onstar run a vehicle diagnostic and the code back as a P00013. Then I had reilly's auto part run a diagnostic and they came back with codes P00013 and P00011 for the camshaft sensors. I've talked to others that own or have owned this vehicle and they all have experienced this problem. I have gas fumes backing up into the car when I turn the air that is dangerous choking and gives me a headache. I have to run the ac system off as soon as the fumes start. It's summer and hit so I have to ride with the widows down but that's not helping. But that's truly besides the point. Has backing up in the vehicle is dangerous and many Equinox owners are having problems or Chevy owners in general are have continued problems with this. Why is there not a repair for this issue? I love my Chevy but hate this issue. I have another mechanic coming by today to run a more thorough computer diagnostic that said this maybe a 1200 to 1300 fix because in his experience replacing the camshafts haven't stopped the vehicle from having an issue from other vehicles he have worked with in the pass. Gas fumes are released in the car as soon as the ac is turned on but they start as soon as the car is started.

The vehicle has had a random bucking motion (as if you ran something over) since I purchased. The garage says they can't find anything. It has manifested to a check engine light, the vehicle randomly shutting down, oil consumption beyond (2.5 qts) in two weeks. All I am told is that this is known problem with the Equinox and it is probably the pistons, the cam sensor and likely $3-4,000 to repair. How is it, that this is a known problem and we as consumers have to pay twice to own their product" shutting down while driving, without any warning lights, oil low without warning lights... not a safety issue??? GM, what's wrong with you" no integrity, that's for sure. From the volume of the same complaints, why is this not a recall. GM clearly messed up on this one. Done venting as this won't pay for a new car. Don't buy an Equinox!

While driving my 2013 Chevrolet Equinox in single digit temperatures, the engine light came on. Within two miles, the car stalled. It would not restart. The cause was a defective PCV system that GM has documented in service bulletin 14882 dated March 2015. During cold weather operation, condensation freezes and plugs the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) system. This condition causes an immediate increase in the crankcase pressure and blows out the rear seal. Once the rear seal is lost, oil immediately purges out of the engine. This known design flaw caused $8,500 in damages. I had to replace the entire engine, intake manifold, seals on the injector rail, spark plugs, flex plate, balancer, thermostat housing and tube assembly. This 5.5 year old car only had 54,500 miles on it when this failure occurred. It also left the driver stranded in subzero wind chill temperatures.

I have a 2013 Chevy Equinox, 2.4L with a huge oil consumption problem. My engine light is on, and the vehicle stall intermittently if I'm sitting at a stop light, and I often have challenges starting it back up. I purchased this car about 6 months ago, and being a single father of two, I don't have the financial resources for repairs.

Burns excessive oil which causes catalytic converter to clog and exhaust manifold to crack and fumes develop in cabin

- Fort Ann, NY, USA

Vehicle is using excessive amounts of oil between oil changes. The vehicle has always been very well maintained and only has 85,000 miles on it. The vehicle now dies or stalls and is inoperable. I have noted hundreds of complaints about this issue and a prior recall for earlier model years. A service bulletin was published but vehicle owners were never informed of the well known issue. I now have a vehicle that is worthless after buying it new in 2013.
