I keep putting oil in my car like it's gas. I'm using 1 quart for every fill up. Which is a lot and it's a known problem with this vehicle and should be recalled.

- Townville, PA, USA

Traveling on the highway the car made a clanging sound, then I looked at my dash and it said the motor was slowing down. So II got to the side of the highway and stopped. Called the wrecker and when it was being put on the truck was when I saw the oil under it. While waiting for help I contacted the onstar system they ran a dio for my trouble, but it only came back as "have it services soon". the dealer said the pvc had stuck and blew the motor, it would cost 7000.00+ to replace the motor. And would not buy it against a new car purchase.

The vehicle will stall whenever stopped at a red light or stop sign and in drive. Have to put it in neutral to keep RPM at normal level, otherwise it will go down to 500 RPM or shut off. Vehicle rattles and shakes when driving. Cleaned the throttle body, replaced O2 sensor, had the engine rebuilt 6 months ago because of a recall. This is highly unsafe, unreliable and absolutely not ok for a car with 87,000 miles. There needs to be a recall because it is obvious from reading through different forums on the internet that a lot of other people have the same exact issue at different mileages.

- St Clair Shores, MI, USA

Vehicle has 55000 miles and check engine light is on. In scanning the car I was told that P0010 the intake positions actuator circuit and P0013 exhaust camshaft position actuator circuit needed to be serviced to the tune of between $1200 and $1500 dollars which is normal for these cars I. think this is bs I have oil changed every 2000 miles or 3 months with castrol dexos 5W30 and lucas oil stabilizer. Sounds like this should be covered by yhe manufacturer.

My car has the same problem as bulletin 14882 states. On a day it was 0 degrees my car started smoking and the engine started rattling. I pulled off the highway and saw oil coming out between the motor and transmission. Bulletin 14882 states that 2010 thru 2014 Equinox cars with the 2.4 ecotec have this problem due to frozen PCV valve and the motor building up pressure blowing out the rear main seal. My car has 80,000 miles on it. The bulletin states that cars under 10 yers old or under 120,000 miles is to be covered. Cheverolet says my VIN is not in this recall. I was on the highway 10 minutes after leaving my house when this happened. The car is not able to be driven and had to be towed.

Chevrolet Equinox has an abnormal amount of oil consumption. Every 1,500 miles or lower it has to be replaced with more oil, at least a 1 quart to 2 because it gets so low so fast.

- Fieldale, VA, USA

No oil in vehicle. No oil light warning. Did not start. Towed to Chevy dealer they replaced timing chain and oil loss issue never solved. Was recommended to speak to senior advisors. But all they ever say is that this vehicle had no recalls. When checking different websites I find this is a big issue with Equinox's from 2014-2017. Would like to know how they draw the line on what gets recalled and what doesn't. this vehicle falls within the parameters and years that GM had this problem. Can't get any answers from them. I'm very disappointed. Grew up and always had a GM auto. This will be our last.

- West Seneca, NY, USA

Engine oil consumption. Vehicle is consuming 4 quarts of oil per week. This results in a loud vehicle, and shaking during a stop. There is no leak in the oil canister, for I have spent $1100 on it recently. The engine is burning the oil at an unreasonable rate.

- Kearney, NE, USA

Engine was burning oil at an alarming rate, was starting to stall whenever the vehicle came to a stop while in drive, and was louder than normal. Sent vehicle to the dealership and was informed the pvc manifold needed to be replaced. Was also told this is a common problem with this vehicle. The total cost was $812 with parts and labor to replace. The car has under 100K miles and apparently GM will not cover the cost in anyway. Was also told this issue could have caused my engine to blow if not caught in enough time.
