NHTSA Complaint #10562201 — 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

AT ABOUT 40,000 MILES NOTICED THAT VEHICLE WAS LOOSING OR USING OIL. CARRIED TO THE SHOP AND NO PROBLEM COULD BE FOUND. AT 50,000 MILES ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CARRIED TO THE SHOP, FOUND THAT TIMING CHAIN BRACKET HAD BROKEN. REPLACED TIMING CHAIN, BRACKET , AND GASKETS. TWO MONTHS LATER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARS AGAIN. TAKE IT TO SHOP. RAN DIE THROUGH ENGINE TO FIND OUT WHERE OIL LOSS IS , CHECKED TIMING CHAIN AGAIN, CHANGED OIL, CHECKED FUEL PUMP, READING FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS O2 SENSOR BUT NOTHING WAS DONE ABOUT IT. IT'S BEEN THREE WEEKS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN. CAR COMPUTER FIRST SAYED STABILIZER BAR NEEDED CHECKING. GOT THAT LIGHT OFF AND CAR WILL AT LEAST GO OVER 30MILES PER HOUR BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. GOT TO CARRY IT BACK TO THE GARAGE. SOMETHING REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR THE CONSUMERS THAT OWN A 2010 EQUINOX. THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS. *TR
