Consumer Description

MY 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX HAS HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS, I GOT THE CAR WITH 49,000 MILES ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TIMING CHAIN ALREADY DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. NOW MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS BAD DUE TO OIL CONSUMPTION. MY CAR NOW HAS AROUND 130,000 MILES AND I SEEN THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR THE 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. IT ALSO POSES A SAFETY RISK AS IT CAN CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE WHILE THE CARS ARE IN MOTION. THERE ARE TIMES I ADD A WHOLE QUART OF OIL AND 3 DAYS LATER I HEAR A TICKING NOISE AND MY OIL IS COMPLETELY GONE. MY CAR CONKS OUT AT STOP SIGNS ONCE IN A WHILE, IT TAKES TIME TO ACCELERATE. ALSO MY PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT DOES NOT WORK IT'S STUCK TO THE POINT WHERE YOU CAN'T USE IT.
