Car consumes entirely to much oil. Every week I am putting 2 quarts of oil in even after getting a fresh oil change. Engine is loud/rattling has been ever since I purchased the car. I have been putting money in this car since I purchased it. Now check engine light is on. Says I need a new timing from what I am being told that is basically a new engine. The radio goes out and comes back on, yesterday the volume on the radio was going up & down by itself. The main issue is a engine and the oil. There is no way this is a known issue with almost every compliant that I have seen so far and there has been no recall on this how insane. I will never purchase another car from gm again! the windshield wiper motor went out twice, this is a overall terrible engine and car. The car is loud when it is running and when you accelerate, turn the car all of the above. I had the muffler and some other things fixed and it's still loud, the noise is coming from the engine.
When I purchased this vehicle, I was not told that the engine was replaced. I have replaced the exhaust manifold 2 times. The dealer told me that there is metal fragments in my oil. That I need a new engine.
I got the vehicle April 12th,2019 driving to work vehicle check engine light came on then died. Oil change end of oct through midas. Towed to gm part of class action lawsuit berman b motors claim being denied as saying outside of sca date. They say sca date 12/14/2009 the vehicle wasn't made until June of 2010. I had it towed in 12/11/2019 they couldn't service immediately as rural area and other vehicles waiting before mine. Got vehicle out 1/28/2020. Claim was denied saying was outside sca date. Cause found by tech was engine damage due to excessive oil consumption. Many engine parts were replaced. Timing chain and valves were covered by gm when mgr of art hassler seen it was a Equinox then put back in line becauseof date the repair had to be done. 2300. 00 and over to get out. 2 service papers. No oil light came on. May still have debris in engine. Needs exhaust manifold,ball joints just had front brakes replaced and sensor that said all wheel drive is off feature at midas. Its always something. Gm should do something they should have approved my claim as it was in the shop the whole time from 12/11/2019 to 1/28/2020. They haven't offered any resolution or money off a new vehicle nothing. Something needs to be done. There are too many of us who have had the same exact problems. Thank you for your time.
Exhaust manifold broke in two pieces. Same problem replaced before on a 2010 GMC acadia with the same 2. 4l. Exhaust manifolds are breaking in the exact same way at similar mileages. ~120,000 miles.
I have to replace throttle body because my car would just stall while driving in the middle of the road as well as replacing my muffler. Currently I have a new set of brakes that squeal like no tomorrow and my check engine light just came on giving me codes to replace 2 camshaft positioning solenoid actuator and finally the car it turning into a complete rust bucket. .

I am losing a lot of oil within the 3000 miles before I change it. My car is losing power it stalls it runs very loudly and it knocks a little. I put at least 12 quarts of oil every 3000 miles and it's not leaking because I checked the top and the bottom of the motor and there is no sign of oil anywhere not even out of my tail pipe.
