NHTSA Complaint #11210761 — 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

THIS CAR BURNS OIL FAST AND I LEARNED THE HARD WAY. 2 YEARS AFTER BUYING THE CAR ALL THE PISTONS IN THE ENGINE BENT DUE TO LACK OF OIL. WHEN THE CAR WAS GETTING FIXED THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS BONE DRY AND I HAD JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE 2 MONTHS PRIOR. $3,200 LATER THE CAR WAS FIXED, BUT IT STILL HAD ISSUES SHIFTING. IN COLDER WEATHER THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WOULD BARELY MOVE. I HAD NO REAL MECHANICAL ISSUES UNTIL A YEAR LATER. I HAD DRIVEN IT 45 MILES AND STOPPED AT A GAS STATION, WHEN I WENT TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON ALL OF THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS CAME ON AS WELL AS THE 'STABILITRAK' LIGHT AND THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET IT TO MOVE WAS BY TURNING THE TRACTION OFF, AND WAS THANKFULLY ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME. I GOT IT INTO THE GM DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE STABILITY TRACK AND THE CRANKSHAFT NEEDED REPLACED. MY ABS LIGHT WAS STILL FAILING AND I'M TOTAL IT WAS ANOTHER $1,400 OF WORK. NOW THE ENGINE SEEMS TO BE MAKING A CRANKING NOISE. I'M TIRED OF WASTING MONEY ON THIS PIECE OF JUNK!!!!!
