2.4-LITER ECOTEC ENGINES SUFFER FROM THE DEFECT THAT CONSUMES OIL AT A VERY HIGH RATE. THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF THE DEFECT IS MALFUNCTIONING PISTON RINGS, WHICH ARE PRONE TO PREMATURE WEAR, THE JUDGE'S ORDER STATES. THE DEFECT NECESSITATES THE NEED FOR THE CAR OWNER TO REPLENISH THE CAR'S OIL MORE FREQUENTLY. WE CHANGE OIL EVERY MONTH BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT NOW IS WORSE BECAUSE IS COMING NOW WHITE SMOKE AND SHAKING ALL THE ENGINE SO ITS NOW OUT OF ROAD MY EQUINOX SO I AM WAITING FOR THIS SOLUTION FROM GM BUT NOT ANSWERS.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING MY 2 YOUNG SONS TO DAYCARE IN THE MORNING WHILE IT WAS RAINING WHEN SHE WAS ALMOST THERE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST STOPED WORKING. SHE DROVE TO A FRIENDS HOUSE CLOSE BY AFTER DROPPING MY CHILDREN OFF AND HAD TO GET AN UBER HOME. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND THE WIPER TRANSMISSION ARM BECAME DISCONNECTED FROM THE WIPER LINKAGE. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE I DISCOVERED THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND IT WAS SUGGESTED TO REPLACE THE BUSHING THAT CONNECTS THEM. I REPLACED IT WITH THE CORRECT BUSHING AND REINSTALLED IT. THE WIPERS WORKED FINE FOR A FEW DAYS AND THIS MORNING THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING MY SONS TO DAYCARE AND SHE ATTEMPTED TO USE THE WIPERS TO SPRAY AND CLEAN THE WINDOWS THEY DISCONNECTED. I HAVE SEEN THIS SAME COMPLAINT FROM MANY PEOPLE AND AM NOW VERY CONCERNED THAT AFTER IT GETS FIXED AGAIN IF IT HAPPENS AT THE WRONG TIME OR ON THE INTERSTATE WE COULD LOSE VISIBILITY AND IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

POWER TRAIN
I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY TRANSMISSION SINCE FOREVER BUT NOW IT'S WORSE. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO HAVE AN OPEN RECALL. IT IS NOT FAIR THAT WE PURCHASE THESE VEHICLES AND HAVE TO PUT SO MUCH MONEY INTO THEM BECAUSE THEY COME FAULTY. ANYTIME I HIT MY BRAKES WITH A HEAVY FOOT MY CAR WILL STAY STUCK IN FIRST GEAR. I'VE BEEN ON THE HIGH WAY AND IN BUSY STREETS. I CAN'T GO FASTER THEN 10 MPH. I STAY STUCK AND HAVE TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE OFF FOR ABOUT 10 MINS TO GET IT TO RUN AGAIN. IT'S CONSTANTLY SHUTTERING AS WELL. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT EVERYONE HAS THE SAME COMPLAINTS. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER (BY SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT 15810), HOWEVER THE TECHNICIAN INDICATED THAT I HAD A CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD... WHICH WAS NOT COVERED BY THE SPECIAL COVERAGE. IT IS CRAZY THAT AN EXHAUST MANIFOLD FAILS! IT SEEMS TO BE A DEFECTIVE PART AND THE TECHNICIAN SAID IT MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE EXTRA PRESSURE DUE TO THE CLOGGED CATALYTIC CONVERTER. GM REFUSED TO REINBURSE THIS SERVICE.

I WAS DRIVING HOME IN THE EVENING HOURS AND IT WAS POURING DOWN RAIN. WITHOUT WARNING, MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AND I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING. IT WAS LIKE A CURTAIN WAS OVER THE WINDSHIELD. I IMMEDIATELY BRAKED AND SLOWED DOWN AND MADE IT TO A PLACE WHERE I COULD PULL OVER. A 20 MINUTE RIDE TOOK ME 1 1/2 HOURS TO MAKE BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ON OCTOBER 27, 2020, I WAS TOLD THAT THE WIPER MODULE WAS REPLACED.
