The vehicle has been consuming a lot of oil. So much that I need to set a reminder on my calendar to check every 2 weeks. It did not leak oil. On 12/19/2019 at 134k, I was driving and noticed the car's power weakened. It stalled, I started and went on the highway. Stability traction warning light came on as well as decreased engine power. I had my hazards on and coasted to a gas station off the highway. I check my oil. I nearly had any. Mind you on 12/9 I had to have my heat fixed and paid for a new blend door heat actuator. They also added 2 quarts of oil on 12/9. I hardly had any 10 days later. A fter adding 2 qts the vehicle sounded okay and off I went. Within 5 minutes, on the highway, all the warning lights came on again.the car was decreasing engine power. It was terrifying. I made it off the highway onto another highway and broke down in the breakdown lane during rush hour.. Engine would not start. My mechanic said the rear main seal come out and lost all the oil. There is a bulletin about this happening during cold weather. I took good care of the vehicle and am angry and disappointed in chevy for being aware of issues and not having a recall. I have to buy another car now.

While driving my vehicle on the highway while it was raining I heard a noise and my passenger side wiper stopped working. This sounds like a problem that was involved on 2013 equinox (captiva probably uses many of the same components). The federal safety agency campaign number 16v582000 - gm's recall number for this is 25302. Luckily the driver side wiper continued to operate properly. This is definitely a safety hazard and should be covered by gm and if the repair has already been made, should be reimbursed by gm. I am presently working on getting the problem fixed. I also experienced as many others have (lots of complaints online) about an oil problem with the ecotec 2.4 engine. Like many others who experienced stalling problems, when I took my vehicle to my mechanic they found out I was out of oil. (09/21/2018) now I am constantly checking the oil level in my vehicle. This is also a major problem that relates to safety and by viewing the many complaints on line, it seems as though gm has no intention of doing anything about it. Present mileage on vehicle is 78,000. It's a nice vehicle, but these serious problems need to be dealt with by the manufacturer.
