general problems of the 2013 Chevrolet Equinox - part 2

In motion driving to work entering onto two lane highway decelerated and not able to maintain speed limit. No warning lights came on car started sounding louder. Pull off and shut the car off got out and saw oil running out from under the car. Had to have car towed to repair shop.

The hood open sensor keeps going off and I . Noticed when its beeping it interrupts the turn signal. I don't know if it affects the outside turn . Or not. This alarm goes off even when car is shut off and drains the battery.

When driving to work today, I was in the middle of parking my car. The car cut off before I could completely park. It started right back up then cut back off. I took my chances and drove it to the nearest dealership. Every time I came to a complete stop the car would cut off I. E red lights, stop signs, heavy traffic. Which became extremely dangerous. I dropped my car off at the dealership and I noticed that there were several vechicals that were the same model / make as mines waiting to be serviced. Also serveral of my relatives who has the same car as mine has told me that they are experiencing the same issue. The dealerships all across town are out of loaner cars and can't get to mine until next week. 3 people I know took their vehicle to be serviced and each were told they needed a tune up. After receiving the tune up the problem still remained. All of our check engine lights are on.

Because of fast oil consumption the check engine that came on and the vehicle continues to stall when idling.

While traveling down one of the main highways outside of stillwater ok. While heading into stillwater our 2013 Equinox lost power and died. We were almost rear ended my a semi. Thank goodness he swerved and we were able to partially be able to coast to the side of the road. As soon as we got to the shoulder and put the car in park a huge puddle of oil gushed out of the car and it had to be towed. The excessive oil consumption that we were not aware of ( and we faithfully had our cars maintained, oil changed, etc) and destroyed the engine of our car. When I first started contacting gm,Chevrolet etc. I was told there was nothing wrong. We put in over $6,000 in our 2013 Equinox and would appreciate very much a reimbursement. Thanks- mp.

I bought this vehicle I'm March 2018. A few weeks after buying it the check engine light came on with the code p0014 for the camshaft position sensor. I took it back to the dealer who replaced the part and changed the oil and it was all fine, no more check engine light. August 2018 I get an oil change on it again, check engine light comes back on for same reason. Why was this part not recalled like previous years? I will never again purchase a chevy.

Burning oil between oil changes.

Excessive oil consumption. Gm covered repairs for 2010-2012 models but not 2013 despite continued problems and complaints. Went through gm process for oil consumption testing and verified this is an issue in this vehicle yet they refuse to offer any kind of assistance for repairs. Problem began January of 2018, less than 3 months out of warranty and only 630000 miles. When taken to have serviced was told 3. 5 quarts low in oil yet no low oil indicator light ever came on and cam sensors had to be replaced.

I know there has been a few racalls on my vehicle and need to know how I can fix the recall s without out of pocket expenses.

Pcv system rear main seal froze and burst resulting loosing oil in the vehicle. . . . . Was told the intake manifold had to be pulled also to check if anything was blocking. Vehicle was parked in work parking lot all day and drove home only to find that oil was leaking from car. I was told it had to be taken to a dealership learned that there is a bulletin from gm stating that when the seal burts, the intake manifold has to be pulled and checked for blockage. . . Which the consumber has to pay for. . . . . Gm does not. . . . . Why??.

I have taken my car to Chevrolet multiple times because it cuts out when idling and sometimes driving. The dealership I purchased it from told me around 40000 miles that sometimes �you just get a bad apple. � they replaced my motor under warranty about 20,000 miles ago with a brand new motor and now my car is doing the exact same thing. I contacted customer care at Chevrolet and they told me to take it to the closest dealer to get a diagnostic test run at my expense because my warranty is out. . . Mind you I have been dealing with the same issue since I bought my car. . . And when I called the dealership, they told me that they couldn't service my vehicle because I didn't have the warranty work done at that location. I can't even drive my car because we've almost been rear ended multiple times and I have very small children. I can't drive all the way back to the dealership that replaced it when I am the one paying for the diagnostic exam anyway. . . . So I keep getting conflicting responses from chevy and their dealerships. I have gotten the run around since I bought my car brand new off the lot. I just almost have it paid off and can't afford for them to keep screwing me around, nor can I afford a new car. My car loses the engine but all battery functions work. It happens while idling, driving slowly and even on the highway! it's so dangerous and many people complain about the same issues with the same car if researched online.

There is a TSB 15285c which covers the 4 cylinder for oil consumption. Nine is the v6 3. 6. This goes through 1 quart every 350 miles. I've been to 2 dealers and was told mine is not covered. I cannot afford this repair. What can be done? I bought used from spitzer chevy in north canton ohio. I think that they knew of this and I asked if there were any problems and was told that there were none.

Oil consumption. Car is burning more oil than is "recommended". Went to get an oil change and there was no oil in my car. There is no leak.

Drivers door inside handle lamination separates causing cuts to occupants hands when trying to open door to exit vehicle.

At about 95,000 miles the 2013 chevy Equinox's engine started stalling when slowing down to stop or while idling in drive/reverse. Thinking it was an issue with the gas, the gas was ran out of the vehicle and new gas was put it; this did not correct the issue. Car is able to idle without stalling if in park or neutral.

Vehicle shuts off while in drive , loosing all power to throttle , power steering and all other components of vehicle. This has begun happening over the last three days after having the vehicle for only three months. The vehicle currently has 39,000 miles on it . Today while traveling 70 mph on the highway the car shut off causing me to have to fight the cars steering to safely bring it to a complete stop in the breakdown lane. I had to put the car into park remove the key from the ignition and then re insert key and re start the vehicle.

My engine cut off twice while driving in a high traffic area. This is extremely scary and certainly should not be happening to a car with less than 50k miles on it. I bought the truck to have piece of mind only to find out this is a common complaint with this model. It needs to be recalled.

I was driving down the street and the dash went completely out for a few minutes.

The vehicle operator inserted the switchblade style key into the ignition. Operator went to turn the ignition over to start the engine. The key fob's metal casing for the key broke. This resulted in 3 pieces, the remote key fob body, the key & the metal cover of the key. The hinge or the swtichblade portion is still connected to the fob. Chevrolet customer service could not give an answer as to what actions could have been taken to prevent this from happening again or answer if the ignition switch been bumped while the transmission was in drive. This vehicle is 1200 miles out of the "covered" warranty.

Have had trouble getting the vehicle in and out of park. This has happened many times.

I was hit by a car pulling out of a gas station. Hit pretty hard side air bags did not deploy.

I was traveling in moderate traffic a safe distant behind other traffic when the red light for collison avoidence on the dash came on and the vehicle automatically braked. This has happened several times since when there was no traffic in front or along side of my vehicle. I advised my dealer service technician about the incidents, but received no explanation of why it was occurring. These 3 or 4 incidents have occurred during the period of driving the vehicle 12,000 miles.

Brakes squeal really bad when backing up but dealership says there is nothing wrong with the brakes. Water seems to be leaking into the car on the driver's side.

On several occasions the forward collison avoidance system has engaged for no explicable reason. When this occurs the brakes are automatically applied, not jammed on, but it does slow the vehicle down and the red light starts flashing and the warning sensor goes off, etc it can be rather unnerving. The rear view mirrors which face downward when backing to be used in conjunction with the rear view camera don't always return to previous preset position.

2013 Equinox lt was struck on passenger side by a 2012 Hyundai sonata while doing under 10 mph. The speed limit was 35 mph for the sonata. The force of the impact caused the Equinox to roll over onto its side and only the side airbags to deploy. Equinox received damage to all areas of the vehicle except passenger side fender and front end.

Purchased 2013 chevy Equinox ltz on Jan 2013. A month later a moldy/rubbery smell coming from the ac vents. It was getting worst so I took it to the dealer for check up. They cleaned and desinfected ac system. Installed a blower compressor to dry water that sits from ac. On. . . Hum. . . They told me since I live in the state of texas, I will have this problem. . . Hum. . . Just be aware this vehicle will not survive on a tropic climate because of the mold . . . . Lame excused from dealer. Two years later still having same problem. . . Take it to the dealer and they clean and desinfect air vents and keeps happening. April 2014 taking it back for that and other issues that I will address here. Thank you. Very dissapointed with gm building defective cars and not admitting it. My first and my last american car.
