Bought the car used 8 months ago with 55K miles. I have driven it 20K miles, and it burns oil, with the oil light not being illuminated, yet the computer tells me I have a higher % of oil life left. Timing chain is going out, I had to replace the battery, and the stabilitrak system turns off. When starting the vehicle everything appears fine, but between 0-20mph with AWD on the break system seems to be failing; then when stabilitrak is turned off the vehicle performs normal. I feel very unsafe driving my car. Most of these issues occured while the vehicle was in motion.

I received contact about faulty parts that affect the rear main seal eventually damaging and blowing it out. The only thing is I was contacted 6 months ago, over 6 years of ownership saying they would recall and replace/repair this. The only thing is my car was disqualified for having over 120K in mileage and I was told I should consider myself lucky it still works. I was driving to my job and had parked my car. When I started my car and started driving it was chugging and I smelled something burning. I pulled over and called my boyfriend to bring oil as the car always has burned oil. It had never done this before. I get it home and plan to take it in the next day. When I wake up and check my car, all of the oil was on my driveway. The sensors never showed anything and I still had 30% oil life and was monitoring. If it weren't for it smelling like something burning, I would have had a seized engine. This is now a $1500 repair that was supposed to have been recalled 3 years ago according to the mechanic.

I'm writing this on behalf jennie krason the owner of the vehicle. She recently lost most of the oil in her vehicle due to what lynch Chevrolet in mukwonago wi. Said was caused by the pvc system freeze up in cold temperatures which caused excess pressure in the crankcase forcing the rear crankshaft seal to leak. She was driving home from work when this occurred. After lynch diagnosed the issue we found a service bulletin # 14882 which as far as we can tell has identical symptoms as what jennie's Equinox has. Jennie called Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. A couple of days later we were notified that her vehicle was not a part of this bulletin even though as far as we can tell this is the same motor as described in the bulletin # 14882. Fortunately this did not occur on a highway or a busy street as the vehicle shut off from this condition. Recently online we were concerned by the number of people we saw saying they also had this issue and were not falling within the unknown guidelines of this bulletin.

Incident occured on 2/15/2020 in upstate New York at approximately10am. Tempature at the time was 2 degrees Fahrenheit. Our 2013 chevey Equinox with 87,000 on it (2.4 liter) was traveling (in motion on interstate ny17E when the rear main seal blew out. Vehicle became disabled on the side of the highway and was towed. The mechanic said the PCV had frozen and caused the rear main seal to blow out. General Motors acknowledges a freezing defect in the PCV through a service bulletin #14822 dated March 2015. I contacted GM on 2/18/20 and inquired about the service bulletin and coverage. GM stated they will not provide coverage. GM is aware that the PCV will freeze and will result in a costly repair of approximately $2000.

I have 2013 Chevrolet Equinox...I received a letter from GM with a new warranty for excessive oil consumption. I have been having this issue for a year now. So upon receiving the new special coverage adjustment that has stipulations 7 years 6 months or 120,000... I received letter in January 2020 took my vehicle to GM dealer and was turned away because of mileage. I am not understanding why GM would put stipulations on engine parts that will damage my engine. Now my issue is that this issue was not just created GM know they are responsible for these vehicles piston wearing out at a certain point but will not cover vehicles that is over 7 years 6 months or 120,000.

Engine is burning oil at an alarming rate. Every 1,000 miles there will be no oil on the dip stick. No warning light has came on stating my oil is low. I could have blown my engine multiple times if I didn't check my oil regularly. This is not safe. I bought this car from a dealership 5 months ago and have already had to get 3 oil changes bc of the excessive amount of oil loss plus have had to add oil in between.

I purchase this vehicle in 2015, from rick hendrick Chevrolet in Norfolk, va. Less than one year, I brought my vehicle in for service because the oil was burning at a high rate. I had to put oil in my car every 700 miles. The dealership told me that the car was ok and just keep putting oil in the vehicle. I continue to take my vehicle in for normal maintenance oil changes etc. In May 2019, would not start and I had the car towed to the dealership and was told that the engine cylinder piston rings were bad and that I needed a new engine at a cost fo $5700. In January 2020, I received a letter from GMC regarding a class action settlement and claim form. In the letter it stated that GMC was extending warranty however. I called GMC and was told my car didn't meet the parameters. The dealership or GMC will not honor their agreement based on some loop hole. See the documentations.

Excessive oil consumption and loose timing chain. Had timing chain replaced at 93,500 miles. Engine burns oil; is not leaking anywhere. This is a very common problem with this year's engine - 2.4L ecotech. Chevy needs to recall these! thankfully, caught issues before anything serious happened. Also had crack on boot for one spark plug causing oil to leak into there. Had all spark plugs replaced while replacing timing chain.
