Consumer Description

In 2022, I had scheduled oil changes and I noticed my 2016 Equinox was burning oil at an alarming rate. I was adding oil every 1,000 miles and again after an oil change; and I could not keep the oil level up. In December 2022, my engine engine light came on , it was showing a P00016 code and after that code materialized, the engine died while driving. It was on a busy road and could have caused an accident. My mechanic has confirmed the "oil pressure sensor" issue and unfortunately, they do not do top engine work. I have had an excellent record of oil changes and routine service performed on this vehicle. Please issue a recall for this oil /Camshaft/Crankshaft position sensor repair.
