NHTSA Complaint #11397401 — 2017 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND WAS GOING AROUND A CURVE AND NOTICED THAT MY POWER DECREASED AND FELT LIKE MY CAR WAS NOT MOVING AS FAST. I LOOKED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON MY DASH WAS ON AND IT SAID ENGINE POWER REDUCED, AND THE 2ND SCREEN SAID TO CHECK STABILITRAK. I GOT OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT AND PULLED RIGHT INTO A PARKING LOT. WHEN I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURNED IT BACK ON IT STILL HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, BUT THE SERVICE STABILITRAK WAS OFF. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY PARENTS AND THE NEXT DAY IT WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE MECHANIC INSPECTED IT AND IT IS AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. HE ADVISED ME TO GET A NEW ENGINE WHICH WOULD COST 5,000 FOR A USED ONE. THIS IS A 2017 VEHICLE, WHICH IS FAIRLY NEW AND HAS ABOUT 70,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED!!!! THE OIL WAS RECENTLY CHANGED AND WHEN IT WAS CHECKED, THERE WAS NOTHING SHOWING ON THE DIPSTICK. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON THIS SAME ISSUE AND IT IS A WELL KNOWN. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND READ MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE, SOME AS RECENT AS JANUARY AND FEBRUARY 2021 AND SOME WERE ALSO LOCATED IN MICHIGAN. I AM A SINGLE MOM ON A LIMITED INCOME AND DON'T HAVE A VEHICLE OR THE MEANS TO FIX MY EQUINOX. IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, WHY HAS GM SAT BACK AND DONE NOTHING? IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL AND SOME OF THESE PEOPLE WOULDN'T BE WITHOUT A VEHICLE WITH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS NO NEEDED IN REPAIRS.
