Consumer Description
PURCHASED MY EQUINOX A YEAR AGO JUNE 2019. THE CAR WAS DOING FINE UP UNTIL ABOUT THE 2ND MONTH MARK I HAD IT. THE CAR BEGAN TO HAVE A VERY ROUGH AND JERKY STOP. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. I GOT A OIL CHANGE AT LEAST EVERY MONTH DUE TO MY JOB AND HAVING TO DRIVE FREQUENTLY. IN MARCH I NOTICED MY CAR WAS IDLING ROUGH BUT DROVE OK. WHILE LEAVING WORK I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT MY CAR STALLED AND THE ENGINE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT. COUPLE DAYS LATER IT DID IT TWICE AS I WAS BACKING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY OF OIL EVEN THOUGH I HAD JUST GOTTEN AN OIL CHANGE. I NOW HAVE TO DO OIL CONSUMPTION TEST EVERY 2K MILES. MY CAR STILL SHIFTS ROUGH AT ACCELERATION AND DURING DOWNSHIFTING. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAMSHAFT SOLENOID SENSOR REPLACED AS WELL. MY CAR HAS 55K MILES.
