NHTSA Complaint #11505963 — 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

My engine is damaged beyond repair. I was driving to work and started to hear a clicking or tapping sound coming from my engine so I called the dealership to make an appt for my car. When I was almost to work (which is an hr commute) my car shut off!! While I was MOVING IN TRAFFIC!!! No warning lights or sounds. I had to push myself off the road with no assistance. Thank goodness I didnt get into a wreck! When the dealership looked at it they said my engine consumed oil and it damaged the pistons and valves. After doing some research, there was a recall for my car's engine to have the piston rings redone bc of excessive oil consumption. My car was not in that recall, but my engine was. I also found that there is a class action against GM about my cars engine and the engine blowing for this exact reason. I've read so many consumer complaints about the same problem. I don't understand WHY GM would continue to make faulty engines and put them in cars to sell??? My car just turned 7 yrs old... it has 113k miles on it bc I travel a lot for work. Now I have to replace an engine that costs more than my car is currently worth. How is that fair? I can't pull 10k out of my back pocket and I shouldn't have to! I've taken care of my car. I don't wait until 0% to change my oil, I've done my flushes, I've had sensors changed out, the battery, I've always changed all my filters including the internal ones, and I just put 4 brand new tires on it. Now I have a dead car that the dealership said they would only give me $500 to trade in. Are you kidding me?! Even the dealership said they won't pay for a new engine bc it will cost them too much to repair it so they'd sell it to a scrap yard. I'm furious. I want my car fixed and GM needs to pay for what they're causing consumers to go through. That was my only mode of transportation so this whole process has hindered me from working. Someone needs to do something.
