Engine Burning Oil problems of the 2014 Chevrolet Equinox

Engines are burning to much oil causing the engine to need to be replaced.

Chevrolet Equinox has an abnormal amount of oil consumption. Every 1,500 miles or lower it has to be replaced with more oil, at least a 1 quart to 2 because it gets so low so fast.

Engine oil consumption. Vehicle is consuming 4 quarts of oil per week. This results in a loud vehicle, and shaking during a stop. There is no leak in the oil canister, for I have spent $1100 on it recently. The engine is burning the oil at an unreasonable rate.

I have a 2. 4 lt ecotec engine. My car is experiencing oil consumption issue. Every week to two weeks oil is almost completely gone from engine. Oil light does not come on. O ly warning sign there is an issue is the car starts knock and hesitating this usually happens on start up and when in idle. I just bought this car and now found this is a lawsuit regarding these engines that does not include my year but I am having the exact same issues.

Windshield wipers failed twice in the last six months, most recent repair was June 20, 2020, both during a rain event. Replaced plastic ball joints twice, failed today July 8, 2020. Second complaint, excessive oil consumption, 3 quarts low and never set a check engine light, this has happened 3 times, vehicle has 98k miles.

The first year I owned this vehicle, the oil consumption was normal. After the first year, it went through oil like crazy. I get oil changes every 3,000 miles, and it was near dry when I would bring it back in. My mechanic began telling me to stop in after about 1000-1500 miles to get it topped off. Which was done, but then I began having chugging happen. I was told this happened because of the engine's oil consumption and would continue to get worse. It definitely got worse until the motor died. Now I have to rebuild a motor or scrap the car. The engine recall should have included my car. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.

The vehicle burns oil at a very fast pace, the vehicle also goes into power reduced morning with a vehicle can only go to 20 mph, when cutting the vehicle off it hesitates to turn off and shakes wants the engine fully shut down.

High oil consumption and timing chain. Putting in 1-2 quarts an oil each week to oil burning. Which led to the timing chain needing to be replaced. The timing chain needed replaced a second time when the timing chain went out again due to the high oil consumption. Each time this has happened we have been in motion both in town and on the highway.

Excessive oil consumption between oil changes and no warning signal of low oil burns 1 quart of oil every 2 weeks.

Engine is experiencing high oil consumption (1 qt every 500 miles or less). Same problem as described in service bulletin 14882 although they say there is no recall on my engine. Service bulletin also states 2010-2014 Chevrolet Equinox which my vehicle is a 2014 Equinox.

2014 chevy Equinox will stall when accelerating. This happens at anytime while driving you go to accelerate and the car turns off, this could potentially cause an accident. I have taken my vehicle in numerous times and spent over 2k on repairs. Currently my vehicle does not have a check engine light on, no codes. It appears that everything is operating normally. It is not, I will not let my daughter drive this car because I am worried that she could be involved in an accident. I recently found that gm had identified that this vehicle consumes a large amount of oil and it causing issues similar to what I am reporting. Only issue is they are requiring a oil consumption test requiring multiple visits to the dealership over an extended period of time. Which I have done and they still say its not their problem. In the mean time I am going to continue to stall pulling into traffic, putting my life and others life at risk. There needs to be a mandatory recall and correct this issue. My last two oil changes I had less than 2. 5 quarts left. There is no leak on my vehicle, and I change my oil about every 5k miles per manufacturer suggestions.

The engine has been burning oil. I got regular oil changes at the appropriate time. The engine burned more than 4 qts of oil every 5000 miles. I added oil as I went, 4 or more qts between oil changes. This problem caused the engine to always be running hot. After being turned away by chevy, my mechanic was able to get approval through chevy corporate to do an engine oil consumption test after its next oil change which was supposed to be this past Monday, 10/14/2019. After the test, chevy had agreed to cover the repair. However, on Sunday 10/13/2019, my car wouldn't start. I had it towed to my mechanic who diagnosed that due to the engine burning oil, causing it to run hot, this caused the timing chain guide (plastic part) to break, which caused enough damage and debris to where the whole engine now needs to be replaced. Though the reason the engine needs to be replaced is due to a known flaw that this vehicles engine burns oil, chevy won't cover it.

The 2014 chevy Equinox will stall when accelerating. This happens when the vehicle is first started, this could potentially causean accident. I have taken my vehicle in numerous times and spent over 2k on repairs. Currently my vehicle does not have a check engine light on, no codes. It appears that everything is operating normally. It is not, I will not let my wife drive this car because I am worried that she could be involved in an accident. I recently found that gm had identified that this vehicle consumes a large amount of oil and it causing issues similar to what I am reporting. Only issue is they are requiring a oil consumption test requiring multiple visits to the dealership over an extended period of time. In the mean time I am going to continue to stall pulling into traffic, putting my life and others life at risk. There needs to be a mandatory recall and correct this issue. The attached picture shows the last two oil changes and the amount of oil retrieved. My most recent I had less than 2. 5 quarts left. There is no leak on my vehicle, and I change my oil about every 5k miles per manufacturer suggestions.

Excessive oil consumption resulting in car stalling and rattling of engine. Oil change required more frequently than the recommended 3 months/3,000 miles. Engine stalled when switching from reverse to drive. Engine rattled when idle until oil is added.

Oil consumption issue: my car keeps losing oil shortly after I get an oil change. I don't even know its low until I hear my engine rattling. The last time it was checked by jiffy lube, I had to pay to have oil added and I'm not due for another oil change (Aug 8, 2019) until the end of August 2019. No light or indicator comes on to let me know my oil is low. I reported this to my dealer (jeff wyler- ohio) on several occasions and they said there is no recall on my year and they would have to give me a price on inserting piston rings or something to that nature. How am I responsible for this issue when gm knew about the issue and the lawsuit covers Equinox for 2012-2017? however, it is low each time they service my call and even when I just went to have a light bulb replaced, I was down 2 quarts and not due for another oil change for 2 months. I purchased this vehicle brand new in 2014 and there is no way I should ever be short on oil - my oil is changed as required to be covered under my warranty. If I would of known it was a recall, I would have been contacted gm. Dont' worry I'll never purchase another gm vehicle again. Only evidence I have is my receipt from jimmy lube and each print out I get when jeff wyler's service center performs my oil change.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Equinox. While driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the oil consumption was low and the solenoids were replaced. The failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to jerry's Chevrolet (1940 e joppa rd, baltimore, MD 21234) where the contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 72,109.

I have an Equinox with a blown motor that gm refuses to acknowledge is a problem. There is no low oil light on these cars, not to mention excessive oil burn. I have been complaining about the amount of oil it uses and that its always black - to no avail. A small social media inquiry tells me that 2 out of every 3 of these vehciles have this problem. The dealer milked it until the warranty was up, and now the ag is telling me I'm up a creek because I didn't take it to a different dealer. Gm tells me the car is too old to fix - its a 2014!!!! still paying on it!!! chevy needs to be held accountable for this poorly designed motor. I did see an attorney and I was the second person that week with this complaint. How many more are out there?.

Have had ongoing oil consumption issues. Replaced solenoids, cam shaft acuators, added oil all the time. Car burns over 4 quarts of oil every 5000 miles. Took today to dealer for oil consumption test, car burned 3-4 quarts in last 1300 miles. Car literally died there after they did test and put oil in (would not restart) was told timing chain and pistons (at least) would need replaced at a cost of over $3400 at least. If engine needs complete redo over $5000. This issue was prevalent on all chevy Equinox model years 2010-2-13 with this issue. There was a service bulletin about them and special considerations ere given to these owners with this issue. I am being told 2014 (wit exactly same motor and same issues ) is not covered by gm. A simple online search yields signifcant data describing exact same issue on this vehicle (2014 chevy Equinox) with the 2. 4 liter 4 cylinder motot. This issue has been ongoing in my car for over 2-3 years. It fionally killed my motor.

Excessive oil consumption. Car runs out of oil before oil change is due.

While driving engine stalls. I notice low power torque while trying to accelerate. If I force it to accelerate, it stalls, and turns off. Almost cause 3 or 4 colisions because people driving behind me do not know that my car is goannamake sudden stop when shuts off. This is happening on daily basis after car worms up. I have taken it to the dealer and they pulled codes p0010 and p0011. I replaced both selinoids (intake and exhaust) $42. 58 each but that did not solve the issue. I was also told to replace sparkplugs and I did coosing original brand at napa parts store. This also did not solve the issue. I am thinking to replace the coils as well, but they are expensive and non returnable. Local dealer advised me that my power train warranty expired on 12/05/2018. Almost exact date when car started acting up. I contacted gm on 01/08/2019 and 01/15/2019 and was told the same. S. O. L. Wehicle power train expired on 12/05/18. I contacted them on January 8th 2019 and they did not even wanted to talk. I wastold that there is no recals and to piss off. I did however,notice the oil consumption. Walmart associate called me and asked when was last time I replaced oil, and I pointed out the date on the sticker and told him that he wasthe one doing it last time I was at walmart replacing the oil. He laughed and stated that oil level was too low and light is not on. He advised full car troubleshooting and test. I tracked the milage since that date and noticed that car was consuming 1 qt of oil every 1,850 miles. This was not acceptable. Not sure what to do. Car has 37,000 miles and I still owe 10k loan on it. Gm, if you read this shame on you!.

This morning as I was attempting to leave a parking lot and put my vehicle from park to drive the engine stalled. My vehicle motor just stopped. It did this multiple times as I attempted to put my vehicle into drive. When I arrived at work I attempted to restart my vehicle and it did this again when I pulled into a parking spot at my place of employment. I was unable to put my car in reverse without it stalling. After some research it appears that chevy is aware of an issue with excessive oil consumption in makes 2010-2017.
