Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises problems of the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox

I recently purchased this vehicle in September of 2019, and I've realized that my car has been burning oil like crazy. I've had to add almost a quart per week on top of very frequent oil changes. My car makes this ticking noise when it starts and it sounds like the timing chain. There are thousands of complaints, yet the company won't do anything about it unless it's under 125k miles. Mine is at 150k. I don't drive rough or in crazy climates.

Oil consumption is ridiculous. I have to add oil every 750 miles, car makes ticking noise when first started and lunges when vehicle comes to a stop. Sluggish when driving on interstate.

Heard loud tapping noise in engine compartment when started up stoped engine checked oil level did not have any oil just changed oil two weeks ago and hardly drove anywhere no oil leaks anywhere plus oil light never came on?????.

Check engine light came on. Car had been idling rough and would almost stall out at red lights. Also made a ticking noise when pressing on the accelerator at about 20-25 mph. I took it to the mechanic and he found the oil level low. Performed an oil change and cleared the diagnostic code. He also gave me information pertaining to this excessive oil consumption bulletin. Now I will have to check my oil level and make sure to get an oil change every 3000 miles.

I was driving about 20 miles per hour when all the gauges on the dash board went crazy. The eco fuel economy light was flashing on and off, the stabili trak lights appeared on the dashboard without me even touching the button, the speedometer and engine coolant temperature gauge were going up and down eradically. The check engine indicator then appeared on the dash board. I stopped at a red light, when I went to step on the accelerator, I had no power. The accelerator was pushed to the floor and I was going about 5 miles and hour. All the above was still happening on the dashboard. The ac was now blowing warm air. It smelled like something was burning. This happened three times. In the end the speedometer wasn't working. I reached somewhere safe and parked the car. I went to shift the car into drive and there was a hard loud clunking noise. This only happened when the car was shifted into drive. My husband took the car to auto zone where they printed out the codes appearing for the check engine indicator. ( p069e, p0700, u0073, u0100) the battery in the car has also been replaced with a new one twice. It has been towed to the dealership twice due to not starting the next day after it has been driven the day before and working normal. We took the car to the Chevrolet dealership. They understood what had happened. That evening they called us back saying, " we can't duplicate the problem, so everything is fine. " we lost our mind and told them to keep the car at the dealership until they could duplicate the problem becuase the car isn't three years old and shouldn't have these problems. Further, the car isn't safe!! we read blogs where this is common with the Equinox and indicated that to the dealership. The car is still at the dealership.
