Consumer Description

2012 CHEVY EQUINOX WAS MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC. IT WAS OUT OF OIL BEFORE MY OIL CHANGE WAS DUE. I HAD 1000 MILES LEFT BEFORE MY OIL CHANGE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITHIN 6 MONTHS. CONTACTED GMC TODAY GOT S CASE NUMBER BUT HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND TAKE IT TO A GMC DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THEN TODAY DURING A SNOW STORM MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST STOPPED WORKING IT WAS A MESS TRYING TO GET HOME MAKING FREQUENT STOPS BECAUSE OF VISIBILITY.GMC SAID THERE ARE NO RECALL FOR THAT OR THE OIL CONSUMPTION BUT I SEE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT ALL THESE ISSUES. NOT TO ADD THE PAINT IN THE INSIDE OF THE CAR DOORS AND TRUNK DOORS ARE RUSTING. THIS IS MY LAST GMC CAR GOING BACK TO HONDA.
