EXCESSIVE Oil Consumption after 87,000 miles. Always had regular/up-to-date oil changes and took care of the vehicle. Had an oil change in June 2023 and in August (not may miles driven in that time frame), while driving I noticed the vehicle started to jerk...after arriving at work I checked under the hood and noticed there was NO OIL on the stick. I also added some antifreeze since I was there and it needed just a little. Purchased oil and filled it up. Two weeks later...again, no OIL on the stick. Less than 200 miles driven during this time. Now checking my oil every 3 days. October 2023, check engine light came on--took it to get checked and was told I was out of antifreeze. This was the only issue they could locate...no blown gaskets, etc. The AutoZone put antifreeze in to the level it should be and the next day I was almost empty again. This was well under 90 miles driven. There are NO WARNINGS, EXPENSIVE TO KEEP BUYING OIL AND ANTIFREEZE--RISK OF ENGINE BLOWING, BREAKING DOWN-GOD FORBID I HAVE MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME. Two years ago the wipers went...heavy storm and they just all of a sudden stopped. Couldnt even see to pull over. Had my three kids with me and had to put the window down to try to see how I could pull over. I didnt know until a while later there was a recall. Numerous electrical issues....radio stops working when it wants too. Backup camera sometimes stays on while driving down the road, the driver side rear door won't unlock all the time.

Backup camera failure by model year
What owners say
My car runs hot (even with all of my fluids). If I drive "too far" (25-30 mins) driving over 55mph while it's hot outside, my check engine light comes on, all the gauges in my car start going back and forth. A couple different alarms will go off (Service All Wheel Drive System, Service StabiliTrak, Service Park Assist) . My engine revs and my car will start jerking. Sometimes my car won't even start back up right away. My car jerks going up hills. For close to two years my radio and back up camera stopped working, and out of nowhere it started working fine. My tires often lose air. My windshield wiper motor has gone out twice.
Wipers stopped while using them, replaced bushing multiple times won't hold. My link radio has stoped coming on and there is no back up camera or sound not even if I have blinkers on
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chevrolet equinox. The contact stated that the entire instrument panel and electrical system malfunctioned. The backup camera, speedometer, odometer, fuel gauge, and cruise control failed to work. The failures were especially problematic during nighttime driving. The contact took the vehicle to two dealers. On of the dealers, graff chevrolet okemos (1748 w grand river ave, okemos, mi 48864), stated that the parts needed for the repair were backordered and were not currently being manufacturer. The manufacturer was contacted, repeated what the dealer stated, and provided a case number. The manufacturer stated that they would speak with the dealer and informed the contact to call back in a week. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 56,826.
Last saturday as I was driving on the tollway, my wipers just stopped working. It was pouring rain. Talk about being scared. I managed to get to the next exit and get off the tollway and pull over on a side street. I had a sweat shirt in the car and had to safely pull over at times every 3 blocks to clear the window. Sometimes the rain slowed and I could go a little further down side streets. I made it to a gas station with of course no mechanic and located the wiper fuse and switched the rear camera fuse with it (same w), but it still didn't work. I bought paper towels and again kept stopping to wipe the window. Really dangerous and scary. Miraculously, about half way to home from there it stopped raining and I was able to get home. Research shows this wiper problem is a recall in canada. It should be here, too. It cost $595 to repair.
