Engine Noise problems of the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox

Balance chain pins wear, allowing the chain to stretch. Cause engine noise. I took the car in for a brake job and said the engine is making noises it shouldn't be making. The advisor said that's nomal for that car to make that noise. It's the same recall for the 2010-2011 Equinox on the 2. 4l engine. (laf). That year 2010-2011 have a special coverage adjustmentthe 2014 Equinox has the same problems and you need to look into this because people paying for a no fix.

Service stabilitrak, reduced engine power, slapping noise in steering as well as major vibration.

High oil consumption and loud unknown noise from engine. The engine sounds like it is going to come apart when started and during acceleration. The mileage on the car is " 91860 ". The dealer performed an oil consumption report last may. Said that it was within the requirements set by Chevrolet. Engine noise has increased. I do not feel that it is safe to drive on interstate highways.

Number one excessive oil started at about 55,000 miles. Number two excessive engine noise from timing chain and cam seizures. Number three transmission failure 52,000 miles. Number 4 wiper transmission failure at approximately 48000 miles number 5 check engine light on due to faulty cam actuators.

Since the purchase of my chevy Equinox I have had engine trouble related to the oil system. For a period of time I was initially given the run around in regards to a solution. The engine noise made it clear to me that my car needed some type of repair. My persistence enabled me to finally have the problem solved. I cannot be more specific about that event, but keeping that incident in mind leads to the next. I later began to have problems with oil consumption (several months down the road). During periods in between oil changes I began to put more and more oil in my car. This didn't make since my travel was local and not much. ( I have been out of work since last June 2013). That time I decided or I will say insisted the dealer look further into the problem when it was three weeks after an oil change and it was down almost five quarts of oil. I got a lecher about the damage it would have caused. To the point of the problem with all this. I read other letters of complaints on the website in regard to other engine or oil related issues on the chevy Equinox. It seems more than apparent that this should be looked into prior to accident, injury or death. Each problem or complaint also had a number of how many of each were recorded. I would hope that it wouldn't take for me to injure myself or be just another tragic death related to the big car industries. Trouble shooters get paid big money to prevent such travesties. I would then expect that these glitches would be worked out to the benefit of the small people paying big money for vehicles that help them make it on the journey to a bigger a better way of life. I hope someone sitting in his or her corporate office does more than just brush this aside and post it with the other letter of complaint.

Took a road trip and the engine was making noise half way through. Checked oil dipstick when we arrived home and no oil registered on dipstick! the 2010 chevy Equinox is a lemon!! stay away.

Car made noise and engine started to stop. Pulled off to side of freeway, turned off key and car burst into flames. Car is a total loss, due to the fire damage.

My engine rattles and makes a loud fluttering sound accompanied with the misfiring and hesitation with acceleration. I previously wrote a complaint and forgot to mention it.
