NHTSA Complaint #11280303 — 2012 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

MY 2012 CHEVY EQUINOX LT2 WITH A 2.4L 4 CYL, HAS HAD THE SAME CONDITION DIAGNOSED BY A CERTIFIED CHEVY DEALERSHIP, CLEMENTS CHEVROLET IN ROCHESTER, MN. BULLETIN #14882, DESCRIBES THE EXCESSIVE HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THIS VEHICLE, WITH THE PISTONS AND RINGS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED, DUE TO RECALL # 16118. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN TO DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES FOR REGULARLY SCHEDULED VEHICLE OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS. THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG AT THOSE INTERVALS. NOW THE PCV ORIFICE WAS PLUGGED BY MOISTURE IN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD, CAUSING THE MAIN SEAL TO BLOW OUT. THEY ARE TELLING ME IT'S NOT COVERED BY THEIR RECALL, DESPITE GM HAVING THIS ISSUE ON MODELS FROM 2010-2018 YEAR MODELS OF THE CHEVY EQUINOX 2.4L MOTOR. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW, AS OUTLINED BY THE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT CURRENTLY BEING DECIDED IN THE COURTS OF FLORIDA, OVER THIS EXACT CASE.
