2014 Chevrolet Captiva engine problems

Filed Mar 14, 2022 · Engine · MN

My car suddenly started acting funny and was not running well while i was driving, when i got to a stop sign it totally died. It was towed to a shop and was totally out of oil, my car wasn't even 1500 miles over it's last oil change. The engine was totally ruined and needed to be replaced. THis again seems to be a common problem with these engines that they just go out using all the oil in the vehicle unexpectedly.

The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming a lot of engine oil, requiring constant refilling every week. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated.

When turning the ignation off, the key will not turn off, it stay's in the open position keeping the electrical part of the car from turning off, which could cause an electrial fire. I am unable to remove my key from the ignation, it makes the car battery run down, and sometimes the wires seem to get hot from this.

Key gets stuck in ignition and takes many tries to get it out, even from day one of buying it. Was informed that was a "safety" feature provided by Chevy themselves. When shutting off the vehicle, everything dies out like the battery went completely dead and car won't start again. Have to play with battery wires and fuse box before I hear the car make any noise again. Was informed by more than one mechanic that there are GM recalls for the thermal cable, battery protective cable, and starter motors, but nothing for my VIN has popped up. Have found almost 100 other complaints on multiple sites and more than a dozen reported accidents due to this issue. Car sits at almost 98,000 miles now and it will not turn over for me. Recalls should be put out for the entirety of this model because I have met 2 other people who have had the exact same problem and were informed that the dealerships have refused to acknowledge prior recall or safety information.

I have to put 1-3 quarts of oil in my car at least 2-3 times before my next oil change. It burns way to much oil.
