2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Engine Problems

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. CAR RUNS OUT OF OIL BEFORE OIL CHANGE IS DUE.

SAME PROBLEM AS BULLETIN 14882 DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY NO WARNING LIGHT ENGINE STARTED RATTLING CAR SMOKE LOST POWER CAR DIED OIL EVERYWHERE PCV VALVE FROZE DUE TO EXCESSION ENGINE OIL BURNING AND BLEW THE ENGINE $2300 DOLLARS LATER SUPPOSEDLY FIXED MY CAR HAS NOT BEEN RT SINCE FILED COMPLAINT WITH CHEVY I WAS TOLD MY VIN NOT NOT PART OF THE SERVICE BULLETIN I HAVE READ THE SAME ISSSUE OVER AND OVER I CAR IS BACK IN THE SHOP TODAY 3.24.21 STILL HAVING ISSUES WILL NEVER BUY CHEVY AGAIN

THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WHENEVER STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AND IN DRIVE. HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO KEEP RPM AT NORMAL LEVEL, OTHERWISE IT WILL GO DOWN TO 500 RPM OR SHUT OFF. VEHICLE RATTLES AND SHAKES WHEN DRIVING. CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY, REPLACED O2 SENSOR, HAD THE ENGINE REBUILT 6 MONTHS AGO BECAUSE OF A RECALL. THIS IS HIGHLY UNSAFE, UNRELIABLE AND ABSOLUTELY NOT OK FOR A CAR WITH 87,000 MILES. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUS FROM READING THROUGH DIFFERENT FORUMS ON THE INTERNET THAT A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AT DIFFERENT MILEAGES.

VEHICLE HAS 55000 MILES AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. IN SCANNING THE CAR I WAS TOLD THAT P0010 THE INTAKE POSITIONS ACTUATOR CIRCUIT AND P0013 EXHAUST CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR CIRCUIT NEEDED TO BE SERVICED TO THE TUNE OF BETWEEN 1200.00 AND 1500.00 DOLLARS WHICH IS NORMAL FOR THESE CARS I. THINK THIS IS BS I HAVE OIL CHANGED EVERY 2000 MILES OR 3 MONTHS WITH CASTROL DEXOS 5W30 AND LUCAS OIL STABILIZER. SOUNDS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY YHE MANUFACTURER.

MY CAR HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS BULLETIN 14882 STATES. ON A DAY IT WAS 0 DEGREES MY CAR STARTED SMOKING AND THE ENGINE STARTED RATTLING. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND SAW OIL COMING OUT BETWEEN THE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION. BULLETIN 14882 STATES THAT 2010 THRU 2014 EQUINOX CARS WITH THE 2.4 ECOTEC HAVE THIS PROBLEM DUE TO FROZEN PCV VALVE AND THE MOTOR BUILDING UP PRESSURE BLOWING OUT THE REAR MAIN SEAL. MY CAR HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT. THE BULLETIN STATES THAT CARS UNDER 10 YERS OLD OR UNDER 120,000 MILES IS TO BE COVERED. CHEVEROLET SAYS MY VIN IS NOT IN THIS RECALL. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY 10 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING MY HOUSE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE CAR IS NOT ABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND HAD TO BE TOWED.

I STAR HEARING AS QUICK NOISE IN THE ENGINE AND AFTER A DAY THE ENGEEN IS NO LONGER GOOD ,I I'M PAYING A MECHANIC TO REPLACE ENGINE

WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, STARTED HEARING KNOCKING SOUND AND WITHIN MINUTES A LOUD BANG AND THE CAR CAME TO A HALT. GOT OUT AND CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD AND ALL THE OIL IN THE VEHICLE DRAINED ONTO THE GROUND.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A RURAL ROAD IN COLD TEMPS MY ENGINE STARTED TO LEAK OIL AFTER HEARING A POP AND CAUSING MY ENGINE TO LEAK ALL THE OIL OUT OF IT

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT FLASHED, FOLLOWED BY THE OIL LIGHT AND THEN IT STARTED ALARMING, I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY AND HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED. THIS HAPPENED ON ONE OF THE FRIGID CHICAGO DAYS. IT WAS DIAGNOSED PVC VALVE FROZE WHICH CAUSED VACUUM PRESSURE THAT CAUSED REAR MAIN SEAL TO HAVE MAJOR OIL LEAK. MY ENGINE WAS RUINED.

CHEVROLET EQUINOX HAS AN ABNORMAL AMOUNT OF OIL CONSUMPTION. EVERY 1,500 MILES OR LOWER IT HAS TO BE REPLACED WITH MORE OIL, AT LEAST A 1 QUART TO 2 BECAUSE IT GETS SO LOW SO FAST.

NO OIL IN VEHICLE. NO OIL LIGHT WARNING. DID NOT START. TOWED TO CHEVY DEALER THEY REPLACED TIMING CHAIN AND OIL LOSS ISSUE NEVER SOLVED. WAS RECOMMENDED TO SPEAK TO SENIOR ADVISORS. BUT ALL THEY EVER SAY IS THAT THIS VEHICLE HAD NO RECALLS. WHEN CHECKING DIFFERENT WEBSITES I FIND THIS IS A BIG ISSUE WITH EQUINOX'S FROM 2014-2017. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW THEY DRAW THE LINE ON WHAT GETS RECALLED AND WHAT DOESN'T. THIS VEHICLE FALLS WITHIN THE PARAMETERS AND YEARS THAT GM HAD THIS PROBLEM. CAN'T GET ANY ANSWERS FROM THEM. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED. GREW UP AND ALWAYS HAD A GM AUTO. THIS WILL BE OUR LAST.

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. VEHICLE IS CONSUMING 4 QUARTS OF OIL PER WEEK. THIS RESULTS IN A LOUD VEHICLE, AND SHAKING DURING A STOP. THERE IS NO LEAK IN THE OIL CANISTER, FOR I HAVE SPENT $1100 ON IT RECENTLY. THE ENGINE IS BURNING THE OIL AT AN UNREASONABLE RATE.

ENGINE WAS BURNING OIL AT AN ALARMING RATE, WAS STARTING TO STALL WHENEVER THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP WHILE IN DRIVE, AND WAS LOUDER THAN NORMAL. SENT VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THE PVC MANIFOLD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WAS ALSO TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE TOTAL COST WAS $812.00 WITH PARTS AND LABOR TO REPLACE. THE CAR HAS UNDER 100K MILES AND APPARENTLY GM WILL NOT COVER THE COST IN ANYWAY. WAS ALSO TOLD THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE CAUSED MY ENGINE TO BLOW IF NOT CAUGHT IN ENOUGH TIME.

PCV VALVE FAILED; ALLOWED PRESSURE BUILD UP IN CRANK CASE WHICH THEN BLEW THE REAR MAIN SEAL. $1,600 BILL FOR THIS. A LOOK ONLINE SHOWS THIS HAPPENS REPEATEDLY ON THIS VEHICLE, BUT NO RECALL ISSUED BY MANUFACTURER AND NO COMPENSATION FOR THE REPAIRS

2.4L 4CYL. MOTOR RAN OUT OF OIL, NO OIL ON DIP STICK. NO LOW OIL LIGHT OR PRESSURE NOTIFICATION AND UNDER RECOMMENDED MILEAGE FOR OIL CHANGE. PCV TUBE TO AIR INTAKE FILLED WITH MILKY OIL. REFLECTS ISSUE FOR 2010-2013 MODELS. THE ISSUE WAS FOUND AFTER STALLING AT STOP LIGHT ON BUSY STATE ROAD.

2014 MODEL YEAR CHEVY EQUINOX. MY CAR WAS PRODUCED IN 9-2013, AND HAS HAD CONTINUOUS HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION SINCE PURCHASE. EVERY FEW WEEKS IT IS MAKING A LOUD NOISE AFTER START UP, AND I AM HAVING TO ADD OIL (3 QTS YESTERDAY OF THE 5W-30 DEXRON OIL AS LISTED ON THE CAP).

I WON A 2014 CHEVY EQUINOX AND I STARTED TO SMELL EXHAUST BUT MY CAR PASSED EMISSIONS. FOUND OUT LATER THIS ENGINE IS KNOWN FOR CRACKING IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. NOW MY VEHICLES ENGINE IS REALLY LOUD, THE SMELL OF EXHAUST IS REALLY BAD WHEN IDLING AND DRIVING, ALSO NOW MY KIDS AND MYSELF ARE HAVE BREATHING PROBLEMS. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED A TRAIL OF OIL IN HER REARVIEW MIRROR. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS OIL ON THE DRIVEWAY PAVEMENT OF HER RESIDENCE. NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SHAKOPEE CHEVROLET INC (1206 1ST AVE E, SHAKOPEE, MN 55379, (952) 955-6285) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PCV MANIFOLD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIR WAS STILL PENDING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE CONTACT MENTIONED MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATION NUMBER: 14882 (ENGINE) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 83,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING UP HILL AT 55 MPH, THERE WAS A LOAD HUMMING SOUND AND THERE WAS ALSO A HESITATION IN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WEST-HERR CHEVROLET OF ORCHARD PARK (3575 SOUTHWESTERN BLVD, ORCHARD PARK, NY 14127, (716) 662-9775) HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. THE DEALER ESCALATED THE CASE TO THE MANUFACTURER WHO HAD THE CASE SENT TO A SENIOR REPRESENTATIVE. THE CONTACT ALSO SENT A VIDEO OF THE FAILURE TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED THAT THE TECHNICIAN AND SERVICE MANAGER PERFORM A ROAD TEST TO TRY TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THE DEALER REFUSED TO COOPERATE AND THE MANUFACTURER CLOSED OUT THE CASE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

GM HAD A LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST THEM FOR THE 2010 - 2013 CHEVY EQUINOX FOR EXCESSIVELY BURNING OIL IN 2.4 ENGINE. THIS IS STILL A PROBLEM WITH EQUINOX. I HAVE CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AT GM AND ALL THEY DID WAS REFER ME TO THE DEALER WHICH I DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE REGULAR OIL CHANGE ON 11/6/20 - MILAGE ON VEHICLE IS 111144. I REPORTED HEARING A RATTLE SOUND. IT WAS DETERMINE THAT THE TIMING CHAINS WERE LOOSE AND THE TENSIONER FOR THE CHAIN IS MAXED OUT. THEY CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AND FOUND THERE IS NO OIL ON THE STICK. FILLED WITH 3 QUARTS OF OIL BEFORE OIL WOULD SHOW ON THE STICK. THEY DETERMINED ENGINE IS EXCESSIVELY BURNING OIL AND WILL NEED THE PISTON RINGS AND ENGINE CHAINS REPLACED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN CHECKING THE OIL LEVELS...

THE MOTOR IS CONSUMING A LOT OF OIL AND IT'S NOT GIVING A WARNING WHEN OIL IS LOW

I HAVE A 2.4 LT ECOTEC ENGINE. MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. EVERY WEEK TO TWO WEEKS OIL IS ALMOST COMPLETELY GONE FROM ENGINE. OIL LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. O LY WARNING SIGN THERE IS AN ISSUE IS THE CAR STARTS KNOCK AND HESITATING THIS USUALLY HAPPENS ON START UP AND WHEN IN IDLE. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR AND NOW FOUND THIS IS A LAWSUIT REGARDING THESE ENGINES THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY YEAR BUT I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES.

FRONT CRANKSHAFT SEAL HAS A LEAK THAT SPRAYS ONTO SERPENTINE BELT CAUSING BELT FAILURE AND MAJOR OIL LEAK. THE SEAL HAS BEEN REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING AGAIN. I HAVE GONE THROUGH 5 BELTS IN LESS THAN A YEAR AND TOO MUCH OIL TO TRACK. ALSO UNKNOWN AIRBAG AND STABILITRAC WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON AND CAUSE CANNOT BE IDENTIFIED.

GOES THROUGH OIL LIKE NO TOMORROW. I JUST GOT AN OIL CHANGE LAST MONTH. IT'S AT 73% OIL LIFE AND MY ENGINE IS STARTING TO MAKE NOISE FROM NO OIL. I AM COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL. MY ENGINE IS LOUD WHEN YOU TURN IT ON AND YOU CAN HEAR THE GEARS HITTING EACH OTHER FROM NO OIL. I FEEL LIKE ONE OF THESE DAYS I'LL TURN ON MY CAR AND MY ENGINE BLOWS UP. I ALSO DID SOME RESEARCH AND I SEE THEY'VE BEEN SUED FOR THIS PROBLEM AND NOTHING WAS EVER DONE. I GOT MY CAR LOOKED AT AND THERE IS NO OIL LEAKS. IT'S ALSO DAMAGE MY ENGINE FROM GOING THROUGH SO MUCH OIL IN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

ENGINE IS EXPERIENCING HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION (1 QT EVERY 500 MILES OR LESS). SAME PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED IN SERVICE BULLETIN 14882 ALTHOUGH THEY SAY THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY ENGINE. SERVICE BULLETIN ALSO STATES 2010-2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX WHICH MY VEHICLE IS A 2014 EQUINOX.

MY 14 EQUINOX ATTEMPTED TO START ON IT'S OWN WHILE VEHICLE OFF BUT KEY IN IGNITION. I WAS WAITING FOR A FRIEND TO COME OUT OF STORE VEHICLE WAS OFF AND STATIONARY. SOLENOIDS ND MODULES KEEP NEEDING REPLACED

HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION AND TIMING CHAIN. PUTTING IN 1-2 QUARTS AN OIL EACH WEEK TO OIL BURNING. WHICH LED TO THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED REPLACED A SECOND TIME WHEN THE TIMING CHAIN WENT OUT AGAIN DUE TO THE HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION. EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WE HAVE BEEN IN MOTION BOTH IN TOWN AND ON THE HIGHWAY.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TWICE IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS, MOST RECENT REPAIR WAS JUNE 20, 2020, BOTH DURING A RAIN EVENT. REPLACED PLASTIC BALL JOINTS TWICE, FAILED TODAY JULY 8, 2020. SECOND COMPLAINT, EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, 3 QUARTS LOW AND NEVER SET A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES, VEHICLE HAS 98K MILES

THE FIRST YEAR I OWNED THIS VEHICLE, THE OIL CONSUMPTION WAS NORMAL. AFTER THE FIRST YEAR, IT WENT THROUGH OIL LIKE CRAZY. I GET OIL CHANGES EVERY 3,000 MILES, AND IT WAS NEAR DRY WHEN I WOULD BRING IT BACK IN. MY MECHANIC BEGAN TELLING ME TO STOP IN AFTER ABOUT 1000-1500 MILES TO GET IT TOPPED OFF. WHICH WAS DONE, BUT THEN I BEGAN HAVING CHUGGING HAPPEN. I WAS TOLD THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE OF THE ENGINE'S OIL CONSUMPTION AND WOULD CONTINUE TO GET WORSE. IT DEFINITELY GOT WORSE UNTIL THE MOTOR DIED. NOW I HAVE TO REBUILD A MOTOR OR SCRAP THE CAR. THE ENGINE RECALL SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED MY CAR.

BOUGHT THE CAR IN DEC 2018. JUST GOT THE OIL CHANGED AND MECHANIC SAID THE SEALS WERE LEAKING REALLY BAD. OIL WAS ALL UNDERNEATH MY CAR. ALSO MY DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LIGHT KEPT GOING OUT AND MELTING THE WIRING. THEN MY POWER SEATS STOPPED WORKING. BOTTOM LINE IS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WITH MY GRANDKIDS AND MY AIR WENT OUT BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND ALL OTHER LIGHTS ABS, ETC. I COULD HARDLY STEER THE CAR OFF THE ROAD.

MY VEHICLE IS LEAKING OIL, ALL OVER THE TOP OF THE ENGINE AND LARGE OIL SPOTS BELOW.. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR FOR FEAR WE WILL BLOW THE REAR MAIN OIL SEAL. THE ISSUE IS THOUGHT TO BE THE PCV VALVE. I LOOKED UP MY COMPLAINT THAT I WAS HAVING ON THE INTERNET AND CAME ACROSS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM NUMEROUS (A HECK OF A LOT) OF PEOPLE AND FOUND GM BULLETIN NUMBER 14882 THAT SPECIFIES THE SAME COMPLAINT THAT I HAD. I BROUGHT THIS UP TO THE MANUFACTURING COMPANY AND THEY EXPLAIN TO ME THAT THIS BULLETIN IS VIN SPECIFIC AND IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NOT WHEN IT'S THE SAME ENGINE, YEAR.. ETC. ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE (WHO I HAVE READ COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT IT) WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE ARE BEING TOLD THE SAME THING....VIN NOT COVERED. IF ALL THESE VEHICLES...

MY CAR RUNS ROUGH AND SHUTS OFF WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING AT STOP SIGNS AND RED LIGHTS. MY CAR HAS 112,000 MILES AND WARRANTY RAN OUT AT 100,000. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE IS P0010. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY BIG PROBLEM FOR THE EQUINOX AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS. THE OLDER MODELS HAVE RECALLS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT CHEVERLET SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR.

IN MY 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX, NOONTIME, SUNDAY, SITTING AT RED LIGHT POINTED WEST, THREE LANE ROAD, WAITING TO CROSS 7 LANE ROAD, GOT THE GREEN LIGHT, PROCEEDED FORWARD UP TO MAYBE 10MPH AND GOT TO ABOUT 2ND LANE OF 7 TO CROSS INTERSECTION, THEN WHAM, I AM HIT IN THE INTERSECTION, LEFT SIDE JUST IN FRONT OF FRONT WHEEL, BY CAR THAT RAN RED LIGHT AT FULL SPEED GOING NORTH, BASICALLY TOOK FRONT OF MY CAR OFF, SPUN ME 1 3/4 TIMES TO NOW FACE SOUTH, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, MY BODY LEFT SIDE HEAD, SHOULDER AND HIP HIT THE LEFT SIDE INTERIOR EVEN THOUGH MY SEAT BEAT WAS ON (WAS DAZED AND HAD HELP GETTING BELT OFF) AND RECEIVED CONCUSSION, NECK INJURY, HEARING DIFFICULTY, ACCELERATED MEMORY LOSS ISSUES, DAMAGED SHOULDER, HIP TROUBLES, BOUTS OF UNEXPLAINED OUTBURSTS FROM LITTLE ANXIETY STIMULUS, HEIGHTENED STARTLE RESPONSE, NIGHTMARES, AND SEVERE TROUBLE...

MY 2014 EQUINOX USES 1.5 TO 2.0 OTS. OF OIL EVERY 1500 - 2000 MILES. THE ENGINE OIL SENSOR DOES NOT INDICATE ANY PROBLEMS OR LOW OIL CAPICATY. MY 2014 EQUINOX MAKES A LOUD ROARING NOISE FROM THE REAR END ON BOTH SIDES AND NOW WILL START TO SHAKE SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING, WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES IT MAKES A BUMPING SOUND

THE VEHICLE BURNS OIL AT A VERY FAST PACE, THE VEHICLE ALSO GOES INTO POWER REDUCED MORNING WITH A VEHICLE CAN ONLY GO TO 20 MPH, WHEN CUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF IT HESITATES TO TURN OFF AND SHAKES WANTS THE ENGINE FULLY SHUT DOWN.

ON 2/26/20 IN THE MORNING, THE CAR WAS PARKED WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON AND THE ENGINE RATTLE LOUDLY. I TURNED OFF IMMEDIATELY. MY HUSBAND WAS WITH ME AND ASKED ME TO TURN IT ON AGAIN. THIS TIME IT ONLY MADE LOUD NOISES BUT IT DID NOT TURN ON. IT WAS TOWED 2 DAYS LATER TO A MECHANIC IN FINKSBURG, MD. HE SAID THE ENGINE WAS DESTROYED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MECHANIC AND US HAD OBSERVED THAT WHEN THE CAR REACHED 125K MILES, THE OIL CONSUMPTION INCREASED AND HAD TO BE REFILLED ON A WEEKLY BASIS. BEFORE THE ENGINE BROKE, THE CAR WAS WORTH ABOUT $4K. THE MECHANIC SAYS IT WILL BE $8K TO $8,500 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I, OF COURSE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY AND NOW I DON'T HAVE A CAR. THERE SHOULD BE AN ENGINE RECALL ON THE GM 2014 CHEVY EQUINOX. IT'S UNCONSCIONABLE...

AS I WAS DRIVING MY ENGINE JUST QUIT WORKING AND MY EMERGENCY LIGHT WERE NIT FUNCTIONING. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND WAS ADVISED IT COULD BE MY FUEL PUMP. THEY MENTION THIS SPECIFIC TYPE OF CARS ARE KNOW FOR THESE ISSUE. FUEL PUMP FAILS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO JUST STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

WAS OUT OF TOWN FOR THE WEEKEND. I WAS DRIVING IT AND WHEN I WOULD PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL THE ENGINE SEEMED TO "SPUTTER" NOW AND AGAIN. AS I PULLED INTO MY DESTINATION (THANKFULLY I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY OR A BRIDGE) MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF AND WAS ABLE TO GLIDE INTO THE PARKING LOT. I GOT OUT I LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND ALL OF THE OIL WAS JUST DUMPING OUT OF THE CAR LIKE A FAUCET. WITH MY SON BEING WITH ME AND BEING OUT OF TOWN I FIGURED I WOULD GET IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST MECHANIC TO ASSES THE SITUATION. THEY BELIEVED THE ISSUE WAS THE PCV ISSUE IN BULLETIN #14882. I WENT WITHOUT THE CAR FOR 2 WEEKS. THEY DID THE BEST THEY COULD AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT BACK HOME. THERE IS STILL AN ENGINE LEAD HOWEVER. I CALLED THE NUMBER...

MY VEHICLE WAS RUNNING HORRIBLE FOR A FEW WEEKS , THEN NOTICED REAL BAD OIL LEAK . DROPPED VEHICLE OFF AT DEALER WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A BLOCKED PCV VALVE CAUSING MY REAR MAIN OIL SEAL TO PUSH OUT . HAD ALL THE WORK DONE , PLUS OTHER WORK DEALER RECOMMENDED. AFTER THE FACT I LOOKED UP MY COMPLAINT THAT I WAS HAVING ON THE INTERNET AND CAME ACROSS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND FOUND GM BULLETIN NUMBER 14882 THAT SPECIFIES THE SAME COMPLAINT THAT I HAD. I BROUGHT THIS UP TO THE MANUFACTURING COMPANY AND THEY EXPLAIN TO ME THAT THIS BULLETIN IS VIN SPECIFIC AND IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED . CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY NOT WHEN IT'S THE SAME ENGINE , YEAR .. ETC

I WAS PARKING MY CAR AND IT LURCHED FORWARD ABOUT 2 INCHES. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WENT INTO WORK. WHEN I CAME BACK OUTSIDE 5 HOURS LATER, ALL THE ENGINE OIL HAD LEAKED OUT AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. IT HAS BEEN TOWED TO MY HOUSE AND HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY EVER SINCE. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY CAR. I DO OIL CHANGES AND ANY OTHER MAINTENANCE ISSUES ALL IN A TIMELY MANNER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT BECAME AWARE OF AN OIL LEAK UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO (HWY 34 AUTO SALES, 619 1ST ST E, PARK RAPIDS, MN 56470 (218) 536-0771) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND DETERMINED THE REAR MAIN SEAL BLEW WHICH CAUSED THE TIMING CHAIN TO FRACTURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 115,000.

I OWN A 2014 EQUINOX IT HAS 103,000. THE CODE WAS FOR A POSITION ACTUATOR SENSOR ( TIMING VARIABLE SOLENOID). I REPLACED IT, SIMPLE FIX. ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON. WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS I REALIZE MY VEHICLE IDLES ON THE LOWER SIDE.MY VEHICLE ALMOST STALLED OUT WHILE IN A DRIVE THRU ONE DAY. ONCE YOU PUT SOME GAS TO IT SEEMS OK. PROBLEM GOES AWAY FOR A WHILE. THEN FINALLY ONE DAY I GO TO LEAVE WORK AND MY STABILITRAK MESSAGE POPS UP AND TAKES MANY TIMES TO START. MY LIGHTS ACT WEIRD. CAR GET STUCK TURNING OVER AND WENT TO LIMP MODE. I FINALLY GET IT TO COME OUT OF THIS SOMEHOW AND MAKE MY LONG COMMUTE HOME, BUT I CAN TELL THE POWER IN MY CAR IS LACKING.NO MESSAGES JUST A ENGINE LIGHT WITH THE SAME CODES. NEXT DAY MY CAR STARTS FINE AND LIKE NOTHING IS...

DUE TO IT HAPPENING TO ME AND FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN RESEARCHING NOW MY CARS ENGINE WAS BLOWN DUE TO THE LACK OF OIL AND THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE IS PRONE TO HAVE AN EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION OF OIL. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND STARTED HEARING A KNOCKING SOUND I PARKED THE CAR. TOOK THE PLASTIC STUFF OFF THE TOP AND FOUND NO OIL IN MY ENGINE AFTER HAVING A OIL CHANGE NOT TO LONG AGO. SO I HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED AND I STILL OWE ON THE CAR

CAR WAS RUNNING FINE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, CALLED DEALERSHIP, SCHEDULED APPT, DROVE IN TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. CALLED ME AND SAID THAT MY TIMING BELT WAS LOOSE AND THAT THERE WAS SHREDDED METAL THROUGHOUT, NOT ADVISED TO REBUILD OR DRIVE AS IT WAS VERY UNSAFE THAT I EVEN DROVE IT THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. NEEDED WHOLE NEW ENGINE WHICH COST MORE THAN WHAT VEHICLE IS WORTH. VEHICLE HAD JUST CROSSED 100,000, NO OTHER WARNING SIGNS. SERVICED REGULARLY, NO ISSUES NOTED WITH ENGINE PRIOR TO THIS OCCASION.

MY CAR HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING.THE ROADSIDE ASST PERSON TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY.I GOT THE BATTERY.I GOT THE NEW BATTERY IT WAS OK AFTER A WEEK.SO I TOOK IT TO MY MACHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE MOTOR WAS NO GOOD.I NEED MY CAR CAUSE I GO TO CHEMO.THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN I WAS HEARING A KNOCKING SOUND.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE REAR ENGINE SEAL BLEW OUT AND WITHIN A FEW MINUTES (UNKNOWINGLY MY ENGINE DRAINED COMPLETELY OF OIL) AND BY THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER 2 LANES THE DAMAGE HAD BEEN DONE SNAPPING CONNECTING ROD AND DAMAGING AN ENTIRE CYLINDER. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF THIS ISSUE AND I FEAR THAT IF MY WIFE HAD BEEN DRIVING WITH MY TWO CHILDREN UNDER 4 THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. I WAS ABLE TO RECOGNIZE THE SLIGHT NOISE AT FIRST THAT PROGRESSIVELY GOT LOUDER, BUT COULD SEE MY WIFE IGNORING IT LONG ENOUGH TO CAUSE AN ISSUE. THIS IS EXTREMELY SCARY TO ME AND AT 111K THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. GM OFFERED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR THE REPAIR AT LESS THAN A 1/3 OF THE COST AND COULD NOT GET ANY EXPLANATION WHY IT IS DIFFERENT FROM BULLETIN 14882 THAT DESCRIBES...

2014 CHEVY EQUINOX WILL STALL WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS HAPPENS AT ANYTIME WHILE DRIVING YOU GO TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR TURNS OFF, THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN NUMEROUS TIMES AND SPENT OVER 2K ON REPAIRS. CURRENTLY MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, NO CODES. IT APPEARS THAT EVERYTHING IS OPERATING NORMALLY. IT IS NOT, I WILL NOT LET MY DAUGHTER DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE I AM WORRIED THAT SHE COULD BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I RECENTLY FOUND THAT GM HAD IDENTIFIED THAT THIS VEHICLE CONSUMES A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL AND IT CAUSING ISSUES SIMILAR TO WHAT I AM REPORTING. ONLY ISSUE IS THEY ARE REQUIRING A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST REQUIRING MULTIPLE VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. WHICH I HAVE DONE AND THEY STILL SAY ITS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. IN THE MEAN TIME...

2014 EQUINOX. LEFT TRAIL AND PUDDLE OF OIL UP TO AND INTO MY CUSTOMER'S DRIVEWAY. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AND PER THE REPAIR FACILITY AND THEN LOCAL CHEVY DEALER "THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM". THE PCV VALVE STUCK DUE TO MOISTURE IN THE ENGINE WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE REAR OIL SEAL TO BLOW OUT. 112K MILES AND PERFECT UP TO THIS POINT. MY VIN # PER DEALERSHIP IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY (AS MANY ONLINE HAVE ALSO COMPLAINED).

HAVE HAD ONGOING OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES. REPLACED SOLENOIDS, CAM SHAFT ACUATORS, ADDED OIL ALL THE TIME. CAR BURNS OVER 4 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 5000 MILES. TOOK TODAY TO DEALER FOR OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, CAR BURNED 3-4 QUARTS IN LAST 1300 MILES. CAR LITERALLY DIED THERE AFTER THEY DID TEST AND PUT OIL IN (WOULD NOT RESTART) WAS TOLD TIMING CHAIN AND PISTONS (AT LEAST) WOULD NEED REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $3400 AT LEAST. IF ENGINE NEEDS COMPLETE REDO OVER $5000. THIS ISSUE WAS PREVALENT ON ALL CHEVY EQUINOX MODEL YEARS 2010-2-13 WITH THIS ISSUE. THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THEM AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS ERE GIVEN TO THESE OWNERS WITH THIS ISSUE. I AM BEING TOLD 2014 (WIT EXACTLY SAME MOTOR AND SAME ISSUES ) IS NOT COVERED BY GM. A SIMPLE ONLINE SEARCH YIELDS SIGNIFCANT DATA DESCRIBING EXACT SAME ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE (2014 CHEVY EQUINOX)...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
