Engine Oil Leaking problems of the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox

Just purchased this vehicle in October of 2020. Had an oil change on October 26th. On November 25th my car was completely out of oil. No leaking, no oil spots under my parking space and no engine warning lights illuminated. Filled oil and on February 12th my engine oil was completely gon. Had another oil change and it is now may 2nd and I have bot driven more that 1000 miles since my last oil change yet I have no oil again in my car and now my emgine is stalling out when I accelerate stating my camshaft position actuator circuit (bank 1) is bad which is direcly linked to running with bad or no oil.

The timing chain had to be replaced at 140,000 miles. ($2,000) [occurred Jan. 2018] their is an issue causing with leaky pistons causing oil to evaporate. My car was low on oil (though the "low oil" indicator had not gone off) and the pressure inside the engine caused the rear main seal to break. (replacement of refurbished engine + labor est. $4,000) [occurred Jan 2018 at 170,000 miles) not to mention that the back,left door is closed, though a sensor says it is ajar. The sensors in the tires are always way off, tempting me to over-inflate tires. [infinity. ].

Using oil. Not leaking from car. Continuously putting in oil every 500 miles.

Tl the contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that the rear main seal failed to remain connected, which caused an oil leak. The vehicle was diagnosed and repaired by an independent mechanic who replaced the rear main seal. The vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but there was no recall. The approximate failure mileage was 87,000.

My 2012 Equinox is currently dead at a chevy dealership. Here is the history: � on October 20, 2017 the engine of my 2012 Equinox blew at 109,866 miles when key was turned. The engine blew because was absolutely no oil in my engine and no leaks were present. I did not see any lights saying there was an oil problem. In fact, my dashboard read that I had enough oil before the next oil change was needed. � I recently purchased an oil change on September 15, 2017 at 108,500 miles. I provided the receipt to dealership. � I have always gotten regular oil changes. Recently I had to get oil changes and checks more frequently than gm recommends due to oil missing from my vehicle for no apparent reason or explanation. Because I had to put in so much oil, I would often take my car in for an oil change at a local oil change business or request my father to change/add oil into my vehicle. I travel around se mi and rely on my vehicle for work, so I do not have the time or extra funds to make an appointment take my vehicle into the dealership for monthly oil changes and top-offs (see below). February 10, 2017 - oil changed March 14, 2017 - oil changed April 26, 2017 - oil added may 18, 2017 - oil changed June 1, 2017 - oil added June 30, 2017 - oil changed July 8, 2017 - oil added August 3, 2017 - oil added August 15, 2017 - oil changed August 28, 2017 - oil added September 15, 2017 - oil changed at 108,500 miles October 20, 2017 - engine blew at 109,866 miles, without any indication that engine needed to be serviced, oil was low, etc. In fact, my dashboard shows that I have ample oil life left in my engine before oil needs to be changed. I have a few receipts for these service dates.

Tl the contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Equinox. While driving 55 mph, the electrical system failed and the contact had to use force to control the steering. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact pulled the vehicle over and had it towed to an independent mechanic. The mechanic diagnosed that there was an oil leak, the rear main seal needed to be replaced, and the pvc valve needed to be cleaned. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 181,000.

Was driving car home to st louis from chicago, started car fine, drove about 1. 5 miles on local road prior to merging onto hwy, and car began to shake and shudder, low oil light came on, parked car, oil leaked out of car.

In January 2017, experienced stalling and smell of fuel/oil throughout vehicle. Towed to dealer and was told rear oil seal was leaking oil and needed replacement. Charged 1500 dollars. On April 12th, 2017 during routine repairs for brakes, was told oil leaking again. Took back to dealership and was told that it is leaking from a different area but it is related to the rear oil seal leak. Further investigation shows that these vehicles have known gasket and seal issues leading to engine failure but gm/chevy has not recalled. They issued a service bulletin in March 2015 #14882 but my VIN number is not included in this bulletin even though vehicle is exactly the same as the other people who are included. Gm and chevy not willing to help me and I am terrified to drive my vehicle.

This car uses excessive oil. I drive several miles a day. I have mentioned this to the local dealer and they gave me a list of items to "fix" which cost several thousand dollars. I have to monitor my own oil because the oil light does not come on when it is real low. It does come on when it is time for the oil to be changed. I have owned several Chevrolet vehicles but this one has caused me the most problems. I have called and there does not appear to be a recall or legitimate explanation as to why the car uses so much oil. I do not have a leak on the ground.

My motor blew due to a oil leak and seized in the middle of traffic I owned the car for 37 days and I owe 18k on it.

Consumming engine oil cunsums oil while being driven on a daily basis oil is not leaking out the bottom but oil is found around the throtel body.

I purchased the car in April of 2012 and started experiencing issues with the vehicle within the first 10,000 miles. The car would stall and shut off while in motion either after a short idle while at a stop sign or red light, or even while parking both in drive and reverse. The car will shake aggressively while in motion and lurch forward both while stationary and in motion. The tire pressure could never stay balanced and would constantly inform me of leaking even after replacing the tire multiple times. The windshield wipers randomly shut off while in motion during storms leaving me completely blind. The dealer informed me that there was a recall for the 2013 Equinox windshield wipers but would not extend the recall to my 2012 Equinox with the same issue. The car consumes oil at a faster than normal rate and has required frequent oil changes and filter and has never displayed an engine or oil light to inform me of the issues. The car shuts off while in motion and stationary quite frequently. The car struggled to start one day and after my third attempt finally turned over but only at half power and while attempting to drive back home, the engine collapsed and quit on me. I had the car towed and upon inspection by a Chevrolet dealer and was informed that the engine had completely failed and there was metal pieces in the oil. The car is not working currently as it hasn't been for most of it's life as I continue to make payments on an overpriced piece of metal that can't safely transport my family.
