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.

Starting about 6 months ago, my "check engine" light started coming on and that it would start shaking when I was sitting idel. I took my captiva to a mechanic. I was told that he believed it dealt with oil consumption. I drive only short distances to my work, so I should not be using very much oil. Every time I have had the light come on, I take it in and they basically have to replace the majority of my oil. The vehicle is burning it much faster than it should be.

Check engine light came on while driving;dealer said timing chain and cam assembly needed to be replaced $1750.timing chain is supposed to last life of vehicle. Dealer and chevy will not provide reason it occured at 69k mi other than "it happens". I asked if engine was 2.4l lea, laf ecotrain covered in 11/19 $42m class action settlement. Dealer told me "dual overhead cam". Chevy/gm said 2.4l 4 cylinder. Manual states 2.4l lea - 8th character(k) in VIN tells them this.they would not give me any info on ellen berman & dayana guach v gm class action & 2 others settled nov 2019 or how to file claim. Gm is supposed to identify vehicles w/this engine, instead they are still denying defects. When asked about defective piston rings causing crankcase seal issues resulting in oil overspray causing damage to engine, cam, pre-mature time chain replacement, etc. I was told they can't see piston rings without taking engine apart. I insisted on oil consumption study. Law suit states faulty piston rings in 2.4l lea cause oil overspray damage to engine including pre-mature timing chain replacement -oil doesn't lubicate required parts. Vehicle bought - barlow chevy, delran, nj with 12,500 miles/pre-owned certified-previously a fleet vehicle. Oil changed every 4,100 miles based on opw/olm systems. No warning prior to check engine. Repairs cost $1,650-no guarantee of future engine damage issues settlement says gm will repair piston rings/damage,& increase warranty to 10yr/120,000 at no cost & provid $4500 above settlement to consumers. They told me vehicle is safe; suit says - could catch fire or just stop causing a rear end collision. I transport 2 toddlers & drive hwy. Settlement said gm knew of defects since 2009; not disclosed to buyers, not recalled, no offer of suitable repairs. Gm & dealer in direct violation of settlement. Safety issue.

Check engine light continues to come on. Had it tested and I needed to replace the camshaft and the crankshaft sensors. Did that drove it for a week or two and the light came back on tested it again and got the same reading concerning bank 1 camshaft and crankshaft sensor. Was told it could be the timing chain causing this problem and that this vehicle is known for the timing chain issue. Was told that there may be more than one camshaft but the reading still comes up the same in bank 1. Is this normal for this vehicle and is it under some kind of warranty. Have only 104200 miles on this vehicle.

Went to the dentist, got my routine oil change, then went to the doctor, then visited a friend. When I left my friends house to get on the freeway my car smelled like oil burning- engine light came on, check stability light came on, low oil pressure light came on. I pulled into a gas station and turned off engine. My friend sent me pictures of her driveway where all my oil leaked out- after having the vehicle towed- the mechanic said the rear main seal had blown because of a pvc issue. I contacted the dealer but of course my VIN isn't part of the recall.
