I was driving on the interstate and the low oil pressure light flashed, followed by the oil light and then it started alarming, I pulled over immediately and had my vehicle towed. This happened on one of the frigid Chicago days. It was diagnosed pvc valve froze which caused vacuum pressure that caused rear main seal to have major oil leak. My engine was ruined.

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.

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.

PCV valve failed; allowed pressure build up in crank case which then blew the rear main seal. $1,600 bill for this. A look online shows this happens repeatedly on this vehicle, but no recall issued by manufacturer and no compensation for the repairs

GM had a lawsuit filed against them for the 2010 - 2013 Chevy Equinox for excessively burning oil in 2.4 engine. This is still a problem with Equinox. I have called customer service at GM and all they did was refer me to the dealer which I do not have a problem with. I took my car in for the regular oil change on 11/6/20 - milage on vehicle is 111144. I reported hearing a rattle sound. It was determine that the timing chains were loose and the tensioner for the chain is maxed out. They checked the oil level and found there is no oil on the stick. Filled with 3 quarts of oil before oil would show on the stick. They determined engine is excessively burning oil and will need the piston rings and engine chains replaced to address the problem. I have been checking the oil levels weekly. I just went on vacation and oil level was fine when we left. Before returning home, I had to put a quart of oil in the car -- this is only after driving 1441 from the last oil change. Also, since I bought the car used, there has been a rattle on start up. I previously located a technical service bulletin that stated it was because of the gasket around the oil pan until the oil starts flowing. The other thing that I have found is when I am stopped, the car will act that it is going to accelerate so I must go into neutral until it is time to drive again.

Front crankshaft seal has a leak that sprays onto serpentine belt causing belt failure and major oil leak. The seal has been replaced and the problem is occurring again. I have gone through 5 belts in less than a year and too much oil to track. Also unknown airbag and stabilitrac warning lights are on and cause cannot be identified.

- Fort Worth, TX, USA

Goes through oil like no tomorrow. I just got an oil change last month. It's at 73% oil life and my engine is starting to make noise from no oil. I am completely out of oil. My engine is loud when you turn it on and you can hear the gears hitting each other from no oil. I feel like one of these days I'll turn on my car and my engine blows up. I also did some research and I see they've been sued for this problem and nothing was ever done. I got my car looked at and there is no oil leaks. It's also damage my engine from going through so much oil in such a short period of time.

High oil consumption and timing chain. Putting in 1-2 quarts an oil each week to oil burning. Which led to the timing chain needing to be replaced. The timing chain needed replaced a second time when the timing chain went out again due to the high oil consumption. Each time this has happened we have been in motion both in town and on the highway.
