Consumer Description

CHEVY EQUINOX 2014 BLEW A REAR MAIN SEAL AT 88,610 MILES AFTER BEING TOLD IS EXCESSIVELY CONSUMES OIL. I HEARD A POP AND THE LOW PRESSURE INDICATOR APPEARED. NO INDICATOR WAS PRESENT TO SHOW I HAD LOW OIL AT THE TIME OF THE VEHICLE LEAK STARTING, SO I WAS LEFT STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF A HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS IN -10 DEGREE WEATHER. THIS WAS A "COMMON ISSUE" IN THESE MODELS AND I WAS TOLD I MUST PAY 1,800$ TO REPAIR IT AS THERE ARE NO RECALLS OUT ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. THE ENGINE COMPLETELY ATE MY OIL AND NEGLECTED TO INFORM THAT IT WAS DOING SO AND IT WAS LOW, RESULTING IN ME BEING STUCK IN MY CAR WITH NO HEAT.
