Consumer Description

2.4-LITER ECOTEC ENGINES SUFFER FROM THE DEFECT THAT CONSUMES OIL AT A VERY HIGH RATE. THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF THE DEFECT IS MALFUNCTIONING PISTON RINGS, WHICH ARE PRONE TO PREMATURE WEAR, THE JUDGE'S ORDER STATES. THE DEFECT NECESSITATES THE NEED FOR THE CAR OWNER TO REPLENISH THE CAR'S OIL MORE FREQUENTLY. WE CHANGE OIL EVERY MONTH BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT NOW IS WORSE BECAUSE IS COMING NOW WHITE SMOKE AND SHAKING ALL THE ENGINE SO ITS NOW OUT OF ROAD MY EQUINOX SO I AM WAITING FOR THIS SOLUTION FROM GM BUT NOT ANSWERS.
