ENGINE
I HAVE AN EQUINOX WITH A BLOWN MOTOR THAT GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE IS A PROBLEM. THERE IS NO LOW OIL LIGHT ON THESE CARS, NOT TO MENTION EXCESSIVE OIL BURN. I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF OIL IT USES AND THAT ITS ALWAYS BLACK - TO NO AVAIL. A SMALL SOCIAL MEDIA INQUIRY TELLS ME THAT 2 OUT OF EVERY 3 OF THESE VEHCILES HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER MILKED IT UNTIL THE WARRANTY WAS UP, AND NOW THE AG IS TELLING ME I'M UP A CREEK BECAUSE I DIDN'T TAKE IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER. GM TELLS ME THE CAR IS TOO OLD TO FIX - ITS A 2014!!!! STILL PAYING ON IT!!! CHEVY NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS POORLY DESIGNED MOTOR. I DID SEE AN ATTORNEY AND I WAS THE SECOND PERSON THAT WEEK WITH THIS COMPLAINT. HOW MANY MORE ARE OUT THERE?

VEHICLE BEGAN EXPERIENCING STALLING OUT. DETERMINED TO BE CAUSED BY METAL SHAVINGS IN ENGINE. THE ONLY PRIOR ENGINE WORK ON THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN DONE BY CHEVROLET TO ADDRESS A RECALL IN 2013 FOR HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION. THE ENGINE WAS REBUILT IN DECEMBER OF 2013. NO OTHER WORK WAS DONE TO THE ENGINE. THE REPAIR FOR THIS ISSUE WAS REPLACEMENT OF THE ENGINE.

ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY ON A VERY COLD MORNING. ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A POP SOUND AND MY CAR WOULD NOT WORK. I HAVE ONLY 67,000 MILES ON MY CAR. THE ENTIRE ENGINE FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. MY MECHANIC SAID THAT IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS HE HAD 3 OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO HIM THE ENGINE IS NOT MADE PROPERLY BECAUSE IF CONDENSATION BUILDS UP IT HAS NO WAY TO BE RELEASED AND IT BLOWS THE ENGINE. IRONICALLY WHEN I CALLED MY BOSS TO TELL HER SHE SAID SHE HAD THE EXACT THING HAPPEN TO HER 2 WEEKS AGO ON HER EQUINOX.

WAS DRIVING DURING A WINTER STORM RAINING HARD IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF CLEARING THE RAIN I WAS ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND COULDN'T SEE WAS TRYING TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN A TRUCK PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND BY LUCK SPOTTED HIM AT THE LAST MIDDLE TO SLAM ON BRAKES. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THIS IS HAPPENING ALOT TO EQUINOX OWNERS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IF THIS ISN'T RECALLED AND FIXED WASN;T A FUSE SO HAS TO BE THE MOTOR. THIS IS BEING RECALLED IN CANADA BUT NOT IN THE USA WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE!! IT IS VERY UPSETTING WHEN THEY ARE AWARE OF THE DEFECT BUT THEY DO NOTHING ABOUT IT .

ENGINE
I OWN A 2015 CHEVY EQUINOX THAT PCV SYSTEM FAILED AND CAUSE MAJOR ENGINE DAMAGE. THE DAY ISSUE HAPPENED IS ONE OF THE COLDEST DAYS IN RECORD IN THE STATE OF MISSOURI. THE PCV SYSTEM FROZE CAUSING EXCESSIVE PRESSURE IN THE ENGINE CAUSE THE REAR MAIN SEAL TO BLOW. ONCE THIS HAPPEN THE CAR START TO LOOSE EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL WHICH LEAD TO THE ENGINE DAMAGE. THERE IS NOT A OIL PRESSURE GAUGE IN THE CAR SO THERE WAS NO WAY OF TELLING IF THERE WAS NO OIL PRESSURE, ONLY A OIL LIGHT IN WHICH IT DID NOT COME ON. HOW I FOUND OUT I HAD THE ISSUE IS WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED HAMMERING. I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE QUICKLY AND HAD IT ROLLED BACK TO GM. WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT MY ENGINE IS NO GOOD AND I NEED A NEW ONE, WHICH COST 7700 TO FIX. MY CAR HAD THE SAME ISSUE AS DESCRIBE ON THE GM 14882 BULLETIN BUT STILL NO HELP WITH THE COST. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER HE TRIED TO GET GOOD WILL WARRANTY SINCE IM OVER MY 100,000 MILE WARRANTY.BUT STILL NO HELP, I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE ENGINE MY SELF BECAUSE I STILL HAVE THE LOAN THROUGH GMAC. THE WORST THING ABOUT THE ISSUE IS THAT THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND ONLY CERTAIN CARS ARE COVERED ON THE BULLETIN AND THAT THE BULLETIN ONLY TIES TO THE VIN ON THE CAR. WELL READING UP THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE AND SO FAR THERE ARE MORE COMPLAINS THEN RECALL FIXES. SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

DRIVING 45 MPH DOWN A STREET IN A DOWNPOUR AT NIGHT. NO STREETLIGHTS ON THE ROAD. MY WIPER ARMS BOTH STOPPED MOVING. IMMEDIATELY LOST ABILITY TO SEE THE ROAD WHILE TRAVELING AT A GOOD SPEED. WAS ABLE TO VEER TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND SLOW DOWN TO 5 MPH, WHERE I WAS THEN ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD AGAIN. HAD TO DRIVE 6 MILES AT 5 MPH TO GET HOME. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP NEXT DAY AND DROPED IT OFF. TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM. WIPER TRANSMISSION BROKE. EXTENDED WARRENTEE TOOK CARE OF THE REPLACEMENT. BUT THIS CAR ONLY HAD 50K MILES ON IT AND ITS NOT BEEN DRIVEN HARD. VERY UNNERVING TO HAVE SOMETHING BREAK THAT ISN'T USED SO OFTEN. SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF THESE WIPER TRANSMISSIONS BREAK. RECALL SOON??
