To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding my 2015 Chevrolet Equinox, which I purchased used approximately one year ago. Since acquiring the vehicle, I have experienced severe and excessive oil consumption as well as ongoing fuel injector problems. Specifically, the vehicle requires additional oil every 100 to 200 miles, which is far beyond what is considered normal or acceptable for a properly functioning engine. I have not noticed any external oil leaks, and there are no warning indicators until the oil levels are dangerously low. This not only puts the engine at risk of damage, but also presents a potential safety hazard while driving. In addition to the oil issue, I have experienced fuel injector malfunctions which affect the car-??s performance and reliability. This has resulted in rough idling, reduced fuel efficiency, and difficulty accelerating at times. I have come to learn that many other owners of the 2015 Chevy Equinox are reporting the same issues, particularly with excessive oil consumption related to engine design flaws. I believe this is a manufacturing defect that should be addressed by GM and reported as a recall or service campaign due to its widespread impact and potential risk to drivers. I respectfully request that the NHTSA investigate this matter further to determine whether a recall is warranted and to encourage General Motors to take responsibility for this recurring issue. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The vehicle stopped running. We brought it to the mechanic. The mechanic confirmed that it is a high-pressure fuel pump malfunction and a known issue with these vehicles. All the oil has leaked out because of this issue, which could cause a fire. There is a huge charge to replace this and the spark plugs which were affected by the leak. There is a recall for certain 2015 equinox is because of this very issue, however ours is not covered for some reason. We would like to make a formal complaint so that our vehicle can be covered under this issue like the other 2015 equinox with a high-pressure fuel pump malfunction.

the 2015 equinox has been serviced and maintenance regularly. The engine's timing chain failed at 73k miles. No explanation on why. I was told even though I do maintenance regularly, it just happens in these vehicle. i now need a new engine not under warranty

Excessive oil consumption causes need for engine rebuild or replacement, cylinder head, head gasket, and timing chain repairs

- Riverdale, IL, USA

Oil consumption issues, engine failure, does not indicate oil low light when oil is low, catalytic converter failure

- Stanwood, WA, USA

My car received an oil changed recently and then shortly after my engine went completely out due to having no oil. My timing chain stretched out and broke resulting in no compression to my engine. The light didn-??t even come on to indicate that there was an issue until after the car completely broke down.

my 2015 Chevrolet equinox 2.4l ecotec AWD vehicle with 102k miles had a massive oil leak in jan.2022, when it was -22 deg. f outside. The car was at work outside, and my drive home was about 7 miles. When I got home, I decided to check the oil on the dipstick and it was empty. The whole underside of the chasis was oil splattered. I added 3 quarts of oil and started the car up and oil was poring out of the rear main seal. I trailered it to a chevrolet dealer, and they said the pvc frozen up. The engine and subframe will need to come out.This was an expensive repair. This vehicle does burn oil. It does not leak oil thou. The engine oil light never came on during the ride home. I am glad I checked the oil, because the engine would have quit running on the freeway somewhere.

Fuel shut off does not work properly, extra fuel will spill out before the station's gas nozzle shuts off. Happens at every gas station, every time. Spilling fuel is a significant safety issue and environmental concern. Very surprised there hasn't been a recall yet.

Issue with oil consumption on this vehicle. Needs 2 quarts of new oil every 2-3 weeks with moderate driving. Mechanics say this is a known issue with Chevrolet Equinox-??s since 2011. The only true fix is to replace the engine and even then the problem can reoccur with new engines. I have joined a Facebook page called -??Terrain-Equinox Oil Consumption Recall-?? with thousands of members experiencing same issue. There is no assistance from dealerships to assist in covering repair costs. There was a limited recall for model year 2013 but same issues are present in 2014-??s and 2015-??s as well. There are also many complaints about on this issue on this bursa website. Looking for any assistance.

Engine cut off while driving. Happens while driving slow or fast, side road or highway. No check engine light. Timing chain issue, $2500 fix. I've had the car 6 months, only 77,500 miles. I do not feel safe in this vehicle any more. RECALL THIS before people have to bury their families due to your faulty parts. Thank goodness no accidents resulted in my 4 experiences.

My vehicle stalled recently when I was driving slowly coming to a stop.. prior to the stall when I turned my car on it made a tick sound but drove ok until it stalled. I was able to get it started and drove home. When I checked the oil there it was empty. I was well under them time before I needed my next oil change. I had it diagnosed and was told that it was a piston and ring issue that was the same thing described in the class action lawsuit involving 2010-2013 Equinox. Because mine is a 2015 I received some cost assistance but paid $1200 out of pocket for the fix. Seems like GM knows about this issue but has not let consumers know about this safety concern. I was upset because I drive with my children who are 3 and 1. GM needs to tell their consumers about this problem.

When driving slow between 1st and 2nd gear when you get off the gas pedal and touch it again you hear and feel the clunk, as if there's play in transmission, turk conver locking and unlocking. Sounds like somethings going to brake. Other problem is thumping noise from something in fuel tank starts slow then seeds up.mechanic said sounds like fuel pump module he couldn't repeat the problem. I only hear it when I'm stopped with car running and off this could make noise when driving but the normal sounds of radio, talking would drown it out. I'm afraid if it's the fuel pump, it can shut off while I'm driving I can have an accident!

Check engine light ran scan said flex fuel sensor bad replaced now the check engine light is back on. Scan says low voltage in flex fuel composition sensor. What in the world is the problem with this Equinox. Seems like everytime you fix one thing something else go wrong. The radion has completely stopped working. The heater resistor went bad replaced it now the blower motor is bad. This car is a llemon from the front bumper to the rear bumper.. piece of junk. Everything happens right after one thing or the other is repaired....

Vehicle stalls and shuts off when trying to accelerate from a stop.

The wipers on our Chevy stopped working. Come to find out that the ball joint rusted out. This was a known issue with the 2013 models and Chevy did not carry this recall to the 2015 to 2016 models that are also affected by this issue. Our unit is a 2016 and we just had this issue where the wiper blades stop working right in the middle of a heavy rain storm. We almost got in to a very bad car crash due to zero visibility as we was driving in a rain storm. The other issues we keep having with this car and the Chevy dealer says it's not a issue. Is when the car starts the engine vibrates and sputters a lot. An the engine delays when you need to excel going on the high way.

I have had problems with this vehicle brought to the dealers attention and was told not covered. Vehicle stalled out and I was rear ended due to issue with power train

- Indianapolis, IN, USA

My vehicle had turned off while driving it sputtered a bit the shut off.. I started it back up then I drove home and took it to the dealership the following day. No check engine lights or anything ever popped up to giving any warning. Dealership said it was a solenoid idk if I spelled that right. I hope its the problem

My 2015 Chevy Equinox began stalling and idling low to the point that slowing down or stopping would cause a stalling issue; going in reverse would cause a stalling issue; putting it in park would cause a stalling issue. Sometimes the check engine light would come on, but most times it did not. The vehicle maintains a regular oil change and maintenance schedule yet this problem, which was intermittent at first, began happening every time the vehicle was driven. Could not be driven due to safety concerns. Very scary in traffic!

When driving I could feel it jump as it was not getting gas.. now it stalls when I put on the gas... creating a safety hazard as I do travel highway to get to work..
