After performing a diagnostic check on january 15th 2021, I was informed by jefferson chevrolet that my engine light was on because of the timing chain and misfiring pistons. I have not had this car six months. It has a hundred and one thousand miles on it and I have been excessively adding oil. Even the prior visit in december 2020, the representative at jefferson chevrolet in detroit michigan informed me that my car had no oil after a recent oil change and that he could not perform any inspections until they perform another oil change. I would like information on how to receive payment from the manufacturer to repair my vehicle.

Massive oil consumption! In between oil changes constantly needing to put in at the least a 5 quart jug of oil. In turn causing my car to jump at stoplights almost causing me to hit the person in front of me which was caused from low oil. Then it is now causing my engine to misfire. Which includes very poor acceleration which almost caused an accident as I was crossing across another street to almost get hit from the side and another time when turning same thing almost happened. Then when my car is in park it is starting to stall out. Now needing to bring it to a shop once again.

Extreme cold temps (-20below), while driving heard popping sound, 2 miles later, car started to run rough went back home, oil was draining out. Car was parked, put more oil in, drained right out. Mechanic stated the crankshaft rear oil seal gasket had blown. This is referenced in gm sb14882. My VIN wasn't covered even though what happened was exactly as stated in the sb. Sb was updated on feb 4, 2019 (#19-na-021) , again I was still not covered. I had heard over 200 michigan equinox customers were in service due to same issue and the cold temperatures we were experiencing in michigan. The amount of oil I have to put in, 2 qrts every 2 weeks is also a concern.

The vehicle uses an excessive amount of oil which has ruined the pistons and cylinders. It is only a matter of time before the engine dies while driving. It has had problems with stalling out while idle or starting to go due to this issue as well as rough idling. It is the same issue the 2011 and 2012 models had and they received a replacement/recall.

I bought my equinox used in 2014...I have been going thru excessive oil consumption...1 quart every 1000 miles...and no lights to indicate low oil...it has an extremely rough idle...and will die at stop lights...this is a nightmare for a single parent...I have taken this in to many service repair facilities...only to be told there is nothing wrong...so upon doing research...I'm finding a majority amount of vehicles are experiencing this...and nothing is being done...I've purchased nothing but chevrolet products since I have been old enough to buy my own vehicles...I would just like a dependable vehicle that I paid good money for...not one I have to keep sinking money into...this had been going on since november 2016...

Extremely rough idle and vehicle stalls at red lights. Check engine light stays on. Excessive engine oil consumption. Oil is gone in between recommended oil changes; dip stick doesn't register oil.
