Consumer Description

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION LED TO COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE AT 130,000 MILES. OIL CHANGES WERE CURRENT. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WAS DIAGNOSED AS CAMSHAFT SOLENOID. WHEN REPLACED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED, THEN REDUCED ENGINE POWER CAME ON. CHEVY KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE AND REFUSES TO INCLUDE THE CAPTIVA IN THE SAME SPECIAL COVERAGE ANNOUNCEMENT AS THE EQUINOX AND GMC TERRAIN EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINES ARE IDENTICAL. REDUCED ENGINE POWER CAME IN WHILE IN MOTION, NEARLY LEADING TO ACCIDENT DUE TO SUDDEN SLOWNESS
