Engine Oil Leaking problems of the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox

I've had countless issues from this vehicle since I've gotten it between a constant check engine light having to replace all the sensors and it goes away or oil like nobody's business I stay putting oil in it twice a week as of the past few days I was coming home from taking my brother to karate and my check engine light start flashing in my stability track came on and due to the oil leak it cause my engine to crack a ring so now my vehicle is basically totaled its heartbreaking cuz the amount of money and repairs are put into it it's been one problem after another I highly do not recommend this car to anybody.

My vehicle leaks a lot of oil internally. I was told by my mechanic that my intake valves are covered in oil and my pistons are also containing oil. The mechanism to control/drain that oil doesn't work. Because of this the car is knocking and stalling at idle.

My car wasn't telling me that oil is low. Then it started leaking oil like crazy. Every other day I would put oil. And do frequent oil change. One day I was driving in the freeway with my kids in the back seat. Going 70mph my car suddenly gives out. Have to rush to park it aside. Then my car wont run. Call my insurance but theh couldn't help with towing. I spend $200 just to take it back to a mechanic. Where then he said my engine no good I need a new one. I still owe $5,000 to this car! I've been paying ahead of time to get paid off. Now is not running and just sitting on my driveway for months. And still need to pay it.

Vehicle hesitates to accelerate while trying to take off after being stopped. I have to change the oil every three weeks and by a week and half the oil is 1/4 less and really dark. There's no visible leaks or oil stains on the drive way.

Constant transmission issues, rebuilt motor and still having issues doesn't change gears or will make constant putt putt noises like its going to quit, goes through quarts of oil constantly, no leaks found but adding large amounts weekly, heating/ac system doesn't turn on all the time I have to turn it off and on and it eventually works. Stabilitrak keeps turning on with check engine light the cars power then gets turned down all the way or off, I have to turn the car off and turn it back on to get back to normal. Very dangerous car stopping with traffic all around. Nothing but headaches.

Tl- the contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to several dealers for diagnosis where it was diagnosed that the rear of the engine was leaking oil and it would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 97,000. Wh.

Having the oil changed and noted that the oil was extremely low. Took it in again for service in June 2016 and the oil was already low again and had not be driven far. Mileage is at 64,000 miles. There is not a leak. Happens even when sitting still.

My drivers seat was changed twice in six month, still doesn't work the passenger air bag light comes if noting is in the seat. The oil comsumption is ungodly and now I have anoil leak on the passenger side of my engine and I need to add 2 quarts of oil daily. Ecoboost went out within a year of my ownership. Car has been in the shop several times for oil leak and it is stii persistent.

While driving down the road lost all power reduced power and stability control light came on. Just checked oil on December 17 it was full and checked it on December 19 and it didn't have any oil in it and it is not leaking anywhere on the car.

My cars ch ed ck engine light has popped on and off since I git the car in July and the tpms gauge has been on since the first week I got the vehicle. It was raining and my car began to soid initiating thetraction control but my car started to skid and the chrck engine light came on. I drove for 15 mknutes between 35-55 mph and I received an error message about power failure on the car. My car immediately shut down I didnt need an oil change left and I just replenished oil but when I checked it it was empty. I put more oil in the car and scheduled an oil change. The technichian checked my tires and did the oil change and the car appeared to work fine. 3 days letter I had the same issue. And instead of one tire none of my tires are being read on the car and when travtion control is on it rides rough. 5oday alone my car shut off 7 times while I wasnstufk 9j a major highway. A mechanic in my building looked at my crlar and said that there is oil leaking onto the engine block as well.

Engine is consuming an inordinate amount of oil, possibly due to warped cyclinders. I told the dealer it was leaking oil or something because I couldn't keep enough oil in it, they said there was no leak and that I need to change the oil more often. Terrible rattle has existed since shortly after purchasing the vehicle new in 2010. Timing chain had to be replaced once and the rattle went away for a short time. Other mechanics are saying cylinders become oval and then it consumes oil and if you don't notice it the timing chain breaks the plastic guides due to improper lubrication.

2. 4 l engine fuel pump plunger seal is defective. Allows gasoline to leak into the engine, thinning the oil. This causes engine bearing surfaces to wear throughout(basically ruining the engine). Engine performance deterioration began and symptoms included rough idle, engine knock, poor acceleration and stalling. My wife had a close incident when her car stalled and was nearly rear ended by another vehicle a good friend of mine reported that his daughter-in-laws Equinox stalled out on a detroit expressway - walk home! this was extremely dangerous. My engine was replaced after 5 service visits in August 2012. Today, gm has sent letters to all 2010 and 2011 customers detailing the "may have this condition - could cause engine run-on or rough running engine", which is true, but a very weak and unnaceptable explanation for what really can happen. Gm is "extending" warranty mileage on both 2010 and 2011 Equinox vehicles with this2. 4l engine. This will not take care of engine stalling, potential rear end collisions and customer walk homes. Gm's pathetic approach should not be accepted by NHTSA. This should be investigated immediately, as for the reasons gm prefers to risk driver's safety. Reliability engineering at gm must not exist any longer. Call me!.

Have owned my car now for 6 months and nothing but issues. It sees the dealer more then I can enjoy it. If one more update is done and I am told the problem is fix and really it isn't then my frustration will continue. From the oil leak, transmission decline rough, engine noise,key gets stuck in ignition, fuel gage and starting issues I wish I could get rid of this car and never buy chevy again. If I had not sold my other car I would put this up for sale and walk away. There has to be something to fix these issues as this was not a cheap car. It only has 52 thous miles and I will go back to Mazda where my SUV went to 285 thous with normal maintenance not major issues or my tahoe that I sold at 189 thous and no problems. I wish I had purchased another Mazda at this point. How do we get this problems resolved once and for all? this is crazy!I am not sure if a lawyer is the answer but I would hope that its not. I am sick of getting renals, being late to work to drop it off and shuttle. I bought this to have a car to drive not to take to the dealer over and over. The engine seal was already replaced and the problems are worse or not better at all. Seems to be known problems with 2010 so why is it that they are not getting fixed on our cars. I am happy to get my 27 thousand back and get a car that is not a clunker junk. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
