NHTSA Complaint #11204998 — 2012 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

BACK ON JAN 14, 2019 OIL WAS CHANGED AS PART OF ROUTINE AT A SERVICE STATION. OPERATOR SUGGESTED WE TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALERS AS PART OF AN OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL HE HEARD ABOUT, WITHIN 200 MILES WE TOOK IT INTO A DEALERSHIP FOR THE TEST TO BE PERFORMED AND THEY REFUSED TO DO IT DUE TO A REAR MAIN SEAL LEAK THAT NO ONE MENTIONED EARLIER OR AT THE OIL CHANGE PLACE. THEY WOULDN'T REPAIR IT AS PART OF THE GM SERVICE BULLETIN 14882 (WHICH IS WHAT CAUSED THE ISSUE) HAD TO PAY $1700 JUST TO GET THE SEAL FIXED SO THEY COULD PERFORM THE TEST ON AN ISSUE GM ALREADY WAS AWARE OF! VEHICLE FINALLY FAILED THE CONSUMPTION TEST AND HAD THE RECALL DONE AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. WITHIN 3 WEEKS OF BEING FIXED MULTIPLE ELECTRONIC ISSUES HAVE POPPED UP LIKE THE STABILITRAK DISABLING, ENGINE POWER DECREASE WARNING, STALLING WHEN IN IDLE, BURNT SMELL, AIR BAG LIGHTS, AND ABOVE AVG ENGINE NOISES AND HAS SHUT DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER WHO FIXED IT TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE. THIS IS MY WIFE'S DAILY DRIVER AND TAKES OUR KIDS EVERYWHERE SO IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT PEOPLE READ THIS AN REALLY THINK HARD BEFORE BUYING THIS GM PRODUCT IF YOU'VE GOT A FAMILY. CURRENT;Y UNDER 91,000 MILES BUT IT SEEMS LIKE OIL CHANGES BECAME MORE FREQUENT AROUND 75,000 WITHOUT WARNING OF OIL BEING LOW.
