The Equinox burns excessive oil and make loud noise if the oil get low. No low oil light indicator does not work. After monitoring the engine consumptions for 2 months, I have to put a quart of oil every 300/400 miles which is every two weeks.

Bought my 2012 Equinox 9/2012. In February 2013 my SUV made a loud noise and wouldn't start. Had it towed to dealership and they replaced the motor. Today when I was driving my vehicle showed "reduced engine power" and slowed to almost a stop. I made it home but not sure if it's driveable now. I'm a nurse and was in home health until this last year, so my vehicle has high mileage. 113,000. But even at that you'd think spending $23,000 on a new vehicle it would last longer then 5 years.

Purchased Equinox at the end of June with 85,557 miles. Frequently checked the "oil life" percentage. At 25%, the car started making an awful noise. At first it was mainly when I turned to the left. It also made the noise when I accelerated and then gradually it was noisy no matter which direction I turned. The car would lurch when idling at a stop light, even with my foot barely on the brake. It was extremely terrifying. Have this car for less 3 months and this is happening??? took to monro for an oil change even though the oil life was only at 25%. Mechanic was hesitant to do the oil change unless it was 10% or less. I insisted he change it anyway, with synthetic please, due to the noise it was making and how it was acting. I walked away to do kill time when I recv'd a call from him informing me that he would not do an oil change. He went on to explain that the noise it was making was from something knocking (pistons, rod) and if he were to do an oil change, he would be responsible for the engine should it "blow". He went on to inform me that the engine is going to be needed to replaced, it could "blow" in 3 hours or in 3 months. In tears, I asked how much that would (guesstimate) cost and he told me easily $5,000, half of what I paid for the damn car. His last comment to me was, "I would suggest you drive right up to autozone and purchase 4 quarts of oil because you have no oil"!! reallly? my oil light did not come on, my percentage was 25%. . . . And I'm going to have to have work done to it that I simply cannot afford. I have since discovered there is a class action law suit including 2010-2017 Equinoxes.
