I've taken my Equinox to multiple mechanics and no one ever told me anything about it . My vehicle uses an excessive amount of engine oil after . My oil changes have to be every 3 weeks. . When turning on my vehicle it sounds like a tractor is ready to go. I have a small SUV that I know never made that loud noise.
The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox. While the vehicle was being operated, an abnormal noise emitted from the engine compartment. The contact pulled over and restarted the vehicle; however, there was a lack of power. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the timing chain fractured and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 53,000.
Was out running errands with our two children and the vehicle was running a little rough - almost died twice while at stoplights. Had previously voiced multiple concerns to dealership on oil consumption recall. No low oil notification on vehicle would ever display, and was told by the dealership that this model was not equipped with a notification (which we thought was very odd). Finally got vehicle home and as I pulled into driveway the vehicle died; went to restart and made awful sound wouldn't turn over. Was completely out of oil with over 1,500+ miles left until recommended oil change. Talked to gm cs and turns out our vehicle should be giving a computer notification on the dashboard for low oil. Thankful it didn't happen during my errands since it could have died at a busy intersection or on the interstate and we would have been put in danger.
I have experienced nothing but issues with my 2010 Equinox. It has been in the shop many times regarding the oil level being low and a loud noise and transmission getting stuck and slipping. Also experiencing gas smell while I’m driving or when I come to a complete stop. Also it’s not normal for the engine to lose 3 quarts of oil out of 5qts within 3000 miles. Started noticing the lost of oil may of 2013. Took it to the shop and they replace the engine and other parts that go along with that repair. July of 2013 same problem occur again, lost of oil again, and then they replace front drive axle inner shaft seal. Also took the car back to the shop for oil lost on Dec. 31, 2013 for losing 3 qts oil out of 5qts. They tell us that there is nothing wrong. They said they inspected it for oil leaks, but if they would of check the oil dip stick they would have seen the lost of 3qts of oil. Also I have pictures that I took of the oil dip stick showing only 2qts of oil on Dec. 17 2013. Also we have contacted gm and no help from them. I’ve investigated this problem I learned that I’m not the only one experiencing the same problem across the united states. Also on the invoice that I received they did not do an oil consumption test which involves more than just checking for leaks? seem like there not following the service procedures. It's obviously an internal defect in the 2. 4 liter engine that causes it to burn that much oil. Also I have all my papers when I took it to the shop. Also they gave us a copy of the multi-point inspection where it indicates the fuel system, engine, transmission, drive axle; transfer case requires attention soon, wow you think that’s why my transmission is slipping.

Loud noise coming from engine. Sounds like loose valve train. While accelerating at lower speeds noise becomes louder. Tried higher octane fuel but that was no help.
