Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX AND I JUST GOT IT OUT OF THE SHOP FOR THE 2ND TIME IN 3 WEEKS WITHIN THAT TIME IT BURNED THROUGH ALL THE OIL THAT WAS IN THE ENGINE FROM A BRAND NEW OIL CHANGE. WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH EXTREMELY HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION. WE HAD THE PISTONS & RINGS REPLACED A COUPLE YEARS AGO BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AT ALL. WE REGULARLY CHANGE OUR OIL BUT AT THIS RATE WE NEED TO PUT OIL IN IT WEEKLY. THE MECHANIC TOLD US THAT OUR ENGINE IS ABOUT TO GO OUT BECAUSE OF BURNING OF THE OIL SO FAST. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND NOW. CHANGING JUST THE PISTONS AND RINGS WILL NOT FIX IT. CHEVROLET OWES THIS YEAR OF EQUINOX A NEW, SOLID ENGINE THAT DOESNT EXCESSIVELY BURN OIL AT AN ALARMING RATE. WE HAVE BEEN SET UP TO FAIL BY FINANCING THIS VEHICLE.
