I have a 2014 c. Captiva at 79k miles, one sunday on my way to church, driving on the highway, I heard a pop and the car shifted right and slowed down, I get to church and the serpentine belt came off, pump was leaking oil electrical system shut down. Over $1200 in repair cost. A few months later p0430 error code - catalytic converter replaced, new brakes front and back. Car has not been right since. Past 4 months traction control issues. If I hold my foot on brake at stop sign, alarm goes off dashboard lights up: traction control, engine light and stabilitrak. Three different mechanics looked at my vehicle to no avail. I took it to my chevy dealer and yesterday was advised my car is fine drive it for 150 miles. I go out this morning at 5:00 am and while at traffic light, (1.5 miles) all lights back on. Whatever the issue, chevy needs to thoroughly check to see what's causing the issue, the weather is changing. I'm just over 80k miles and I believe my car has been through the extreme and has yet to be broken in. All these occurences happend within 12 months. I love this car and hopefully chevy can get to the root of my issues as they are directly related to the engine. 79k miles my car went to a chevy dealer with complaints of engine . 80,547 miles back in for engine repairs. Diagnosis 15 loss of communication codes and low battery voltage.
I absolutely love my car. I take it in for regular maintenance. It has 71k miles. Within the past (9) serpentine belt came completely off, power steering pump had to be replaced, engine completely died electrical system needed to be repaired. Car out of commission for (3) weeks, had it towed from site to my mechanic and towed from their to bowser chevrolet.. Now my engine light is on. Sensor was replaced last week, light went out; my engine light is back on. I will be taking it in for repairs. P0420 issue. I'm hoping it falls within pa state specified major emission-control components are warranted for the first 8 years or 80,000 miles of vehicle use.
As the class action lawsuit finalized for the 2010-2013 chevrolet equinox and gm terrain 2.4l ecotec oil consumption. The 2014 chevy captiva is experiencing the same issues with their 2.4l ecotec engines with excessive oil consumption as damaged engine components causing issues. I have noticed engine knocking and constant check engine lights. I have to put 2 quarts of oil in every 3000 miles. The vehicle has a rough idle when sitting and lacks acceleration. It continues to burn out my o2 sensors and cam sensors. The dealership I took too for regular service neglected to address these issues till I found out about the class action suit already against them and my car being 4 quarts low on oil.
Chevy captiva [xxx] I received a letter saying that it was a recall on my car. Is it the gas has leaked into my engine and now the catalytic converter has gone bad. The car was moving when the engine light came on. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Happened on four occasions almost causing major accidents that could have resulted in the death on my family. Three of which was after I took to the dealer to get it fixed, while on vacation. First event happened on june 20,2015. I was driving on the highway at 70mph. My car suddenly lost engine power and dropped to 45mph within seconds. The stabilitrac, traction control and engine lights came on. I could not get my car to go over 50 MPH on interstate. When I arrived home I called chevy corporation and made a report. I dropped my vehicle off at my local dealer on 6/22. They said it was repaired and ready for pick up on 6/24. They replaced the pedal system and said the road test was good and my vehicle was safe to drive. My family and I left for vacation in this vehicle on 6/27/15. We didn't think we would have any recurring issues. Half way through our trip at 80mph on the highway our car reduced engine power and dropped to 45mph within seconds. The only option was to pull off along he highway with our three children in the vehicle. My husband turned the car off and on repeatedly until the lights finally went off. We traveled a few miles to the next exit not able to drive past 45mph. The third and fourth times happened on the way home from vacation on 7/5/15. The third time the vehicle dropped from 80mph to 40 MPH. The fourth time was 75 MPH sbd my husband put the vehicle in neutral so it wasn't such a drastic change in speed. Both of these times we had to pull off the highway with our three children on he vehicle. This vehicle is unsafe to drive!!! I have been in contact with chevrolet corp. I will contact them again in the morning about this issue.
