Engine Noise problems of the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox

Vehicle had been stalling at least every other day for the past couple of months when stepping on the gas to go. It has turned off on several occasions when coming to a stop or red light at the point I step on the gas. Additionally, the vehicles engine sounds forced and trembles on it own on a daily basis, even when in park mode.

My 2012 Equinox stopped running, it was making noise as I drove it and once I stopped and cut it off it never started again. On June 24,2020, it was running rough and I noticed the check engine light on. I checked the oil and there was none in the engine, there were no leakes observed, I could not figure out how all of the oil disappeared, there was no oil in the drive way at all. I went to the store got some, put a couple of quarts in, the next day I called the dealership for an appointment. Once there, I asked about the noise and they said everything was okay, they changed the oil, said nothing of the engine light and sent me on my way. The light went off the next day. , July 27, 2020 I took it to my auto mechanic and he suggested I call gm because the car has been known to have issues like that and I should be able to get assistance with the repair, it only has 74,000 miles and I had only had it 1y and 3 m. Gm suggested that I allow them to tow it to the dealership, so they sent a tow truck and delivered it to serpentini Chevrolet the same day. I was told by customer service that they have had issues with chevy Equinox engines burning oil and damaging engines. I also saw on line a class action suit that was one by the consumers for engine issues in regards to chevy Equinox model 2010-2013 vehicles. At this point the engine is damaged and I do not have the truck in my possession. These vehicles are faulty, unreliable and unsafe there needs to be a recall.

On three different occasions, I had an Equinox serviced for weird engine sounds. Each time, I was told it was a normal sound. The first time occurred a month after I purchased the vehicle. The second time, my vehicle shut off at a stop light and turned on service engine/ service stabilitrak. The third time, the company I brought it to said that my vehicle was having oil consumption and recommended having my piston rings replaced. I've called general motors many times and each time I was told that I would have to pay to replace these parts myself. I just hit a year after I bought this vehicle. I parked it seven months after purchasing it due to the noise and oil comsumption as recommend. My oil was barely on the dip stop the last time it was brought it. I had an oil change not even three weeks before this occurred. General motors should be ashamed of making this vehicle. My car only has 153,000 miles on it.

Back on Jan 14, 2019 oil was changed as part of routine at a service station. Operator suggested we take it in to the dealers as part of an oil consumption recall he heard about, within 200 miles we took it into a dealership for the test to be performed and they refused to do it due to a rear main seal leak that no one mentioned earlier or at the oil change place. They wouldn't repair it as part of the gm service bulletin 14882 (which is what caused the issue) had to pay $1700 just to get the seal fixed so they could perform the test on an issue gm already was aware of! vehicle finally failed the consumption test and had the recall done at another dealership. Within 3 weeks of being fixed multiple electronic issues have popped up like the stabilitrak disabling, engine power decrease warning, stalling when in idle, burnt smell, air bag lights, and above avg engine noises and has shut down on the highway. Taking it back to the dealer who fixed it to see what can be done. This is my wife's daily driver and takes our kids everywhere so it's imperative that people read this an really think hard before buying this gm product if you've got a family. Current;y under 91,000 miles but it seems like oil changes became more frequent around 75,000 without warning of oil being low.

There was a recall for major oil consumption so I took it to the dealer and they checked, said everything was good. . . Bs!! I changed oil in oct, completely dry in Dec! I have had to replace intake/exhaust position actuators twice now. Fluttering sound in the engine when cranked. Now I have (4) different codes 3 of which pertain to fuel pressure reg/system rail and the other once again for the position actuator. And it ran fine before being parked in garage for only a couple hours, once started it shook and vibrated violently.

When my vehicle idols at a stop light, it starts to shake as if it wants to cut off. When I turn my wheel the inside makes a screeching sound.

Consumes too much oil. Camshaft issues. The car has issues properly switching gears in automatic and there is a delay or shaking/jutter at times. Even when the car is idle is has a strange sound to it. Car also has issue with accelerating. I will push the gas down and it doesn't switch gears fast enough. This happens all the time in everyday city and rural driving.
