My car is a 2015 Chevy Equinox that I have driven since I picked it up from the dealer with six miles on it. On or about February 8. I started the car in the morning, after running for a few seconds it sounded like the oil was too low. I shut the car off checked the oil, found it low, I put two quarts in and started it again. I checked it again saw it was low, I looked underneath and saw oil on the ground. I towed the car to my regular mechanic, he said it was a rear main seal. During the repair he told me he was researching the car and learned that this is a common problem with this car, and while he is replacing the seal he wanted to clean the PCV system as well. I asked him to do what is necessary to repair the car. After paying over $1000 my mechanic told me that I may want to call GM or NHTSA and try to get reimbursed because this is the same system that was recalled, just a year off. My wife called GM, the person she spoke with agreed that there may be an issue and asked for all documentation, my wife was shocked when the 1st representative told her that they knew about the problem. Then told her that a senior representative will call her back the next. Today that senior representative called her back. I was home when this happened. After she explained what happened and what was done to the car the fist response she got was "since we didn't take the car to a GM dealership there was nothing they could do" she then put me on the phone and I asked him that if the GM dealer fixed it would it be taken care of." He then changed his tune telling me that it has not been established that a recall exists. However, he did say that noting can be done just because I read something on the internet. I replied that yes I was doing research, yes, I did find others are having the same problem as the recall.if others are having the same problem. Why not another recall"

I have not had this car a year yet and it stalled on me twice while I was backing out of the parking lot. Luckily there was no ca parked in front of me so I had to pull out straight to drive. I drove for maybe another 20 minutes and the car stalled on me twice while I was sitting at a red light. The car started back up and then stalled on my while I was driving on the city street. I have a full tank of gas, 46% oil in the vehicle and coolant in the vehicle. I get my oil changed every 3000 miles

I own a 2015 Chevy Equinox that PCV system failed and cause major engine damage. The day issue happened is one of the coldest days in record in the state of Missouri. The PCV system froze causing excessive pressure in the engine cause the rear main seal to blow. Once this happen the car start to loose excessive amounts of oil which lead to the engine damage. There is not a oil pressure gauge in the car so there was no way of telling if there was no oil pressure, only a oil light in which it did not come on. How I found out I had the issue is when the engine started hammering. I shut off the engine quickly and had it rolled back to GM. Where I was told that my engine is no good and I need a new one, which cost 7700 to fix. My car had the same issue as describe on the GM 14882 bulletin but still no help with the cost. After speaking with the service manager he tried to get good will warranty since im over my 100,000 mile warranty.but still no help, I have to pay for the engine my self because I still have the loan through gmac. The worst thing about the issue is that the service manager told me that this is a known issue and only certain cars are covered on the bulletin and that the bulletin only ties to the VIN on the car. Well reading up this is a huge issue and so far there are more complains then recall fixes. Someone needs to do something about it.

Took the car to the shop and unable to determine the issue. Will return it to the shop again for a more thorough inspection. This happened multiple times while driving to work.

Engine stalled several times while driving and just shut off while driving and the check engine light came on. Took the vehicle to have codes checked it showed camshaft position sensor, so had that replaced and the vehicle continued to shut off while driving after that was replaced and the check engine light appeared on again. Took the vehicle to Chevrolet dealership to be told that the camshaft position actuator needed to be replaced which cost me about $350. This seems to be a common problem with the Chevy Equinox's and they need to be recalled for it because it is very dangerous to be driving and your vehicle just stops while driving down the highway.

With out warning my wifes car went into engine power failure mode. The car would not go more then 10 mph. I had the car towed to a Chevy dealership. They informed me that the vehicle was four quarts low of its motor oil. They then asked me for all the service records I had to establish a history. They had the oil changes that I did from the dealer, one from a well know auto merchandiser and because I did the most recent one myself, the dealer is telling me that they will not accept that one because there is no documentation of me doing it and hence the vehicles power train warranty will not be honored. The car is only three years old and has 75000 miles on it. No indication of any issues were present at anytime with this vehicle.

On 9/11/18 I was driving thru an intersection and and van pulled in front of me casuing me to brake and my car shut off. Steering wheel locked so I couldn't pull off the road. It took 2 tries to re-start my car and when I put it in drive and pressed on the gas it started sputtering. This is not the first time the car has shut off as I was driving. Previously when I took it to the dealer that said that no codes showed up so there was nothing they could do.

Engine stalled in heavy traffic. Restarted after turning ignition off and on. Car kept hesitating every time from brake to gas when trying to move forward from stopped. Check engine light came on with code P0010. Dealer kept it for 4 days and couldn't find the problem, no charge. 10 days late the issue returned.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that the engine seized and the timing belt fractured while the vehicle was stopped at a traffic light. The vehicle was pushed to the road shoulder. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the engine was replaced. The manufacturer refused to replace the engine because the contact had the oil changed by an independent mechanic rather than a GM dealer, which voided the warranty. The contact called bob grimm Chevrolet (2271 S main St, morton, il 61550), but had not heard back. The failure mileage was 75,000.

About 4-6 months ago, my car started to jolt every now and again, while driving it, but it never shut off. Last week, when I was backing out of a parking spot, the car died when I shifted it into drive to leave. It took a while to turn back on, but did start up again. On my way home, it shut off again while in motion. Once I got home, the check engine light popped on and I did not drive it again until the next day. I went to wash it, as I do weekly, and fill up the gas tank. The check engine light turned off. The next morning, I was driving to work and the car cut off again while in motion. Once I was able to get it restarted, I drove it to the closest mechanic immediately. They attempted to look at the car and diagnose it for the greater part of the day. The machine was reading a cam shaft issue; however, when they inspected it, there was no issue with it. The mechanic stated that he has seen this issue with the Chevy Equinox several times and that changing the intake/outtake valves gives a temporary resolve; however, the problem typically comes down to the engine/motor having to be replaced, which is approximately a $6000 repair bill, or take a complete loss on the car., because metal shards and other things get trapped in the engine/motor that can't be removed. They did replace the valves, which cost me $400+, told me to keep doing what I do, in terms of keeping maintenance up, and hope that something is done before the engine/motor needs replacing. I am responsible for my transportation and that of my two children (ages 1 & 11). I cannot have my car stop, in the middle of me driving it, and have that result in a fatal loss of me and/or my children. A simple internet search shows that multiple years of this make/model car have the same issue and it is alarming that no recall is in place. The consumer is being left to cover the cost of safety in faulty vehicles.

I parked my car on Monday night and heard a rattling noise and the engine sounded like it was knocking. I turned it on and off and it started again. The next day I get in to take my two young children to school and the car wouldn't start. I called the dealer and had the car towed and the dealer tells me that I need a new engine. The vehicle has 58,352 miles so it as far I know it should be covered under the power train warranty as I have less that 100,000 miles and its only 3 yrs old since I bought it brand new. Well GM will not cover the motor because I didn't take it to the dealer to have oil changes done. Since they have no record of the oil changes despite that fact that I did them every 3000 miles as recommended they will not give me a new motor yet I still have to pay $510 a month for a car that I can no longer drive. Gray Chevrolet is the dealer the car is at and they are the worst. GM doesn't honor their warranties and should be put out of business. I will never ever buy a GM vehicle ever again. Why was there no lights on the dashboard prior" how do I need a motor over night when I had no problems previously? why is that GM will not honor their warranty or at least send someone to the dealer to investigate? why won't GM at least call gray Chevrolet to find out what happened as opposed to reading something to me from a computer screen? why would they not try to assist their customers" im stranded with 2 kids and no one care. Don't ever by any vehicle from GM!!!!!!!!
