Engine Noise problems of the 2014 Chevrolet Equinox

Goes through oil like no tomorrow. I just got an oil change last month. It's at 73% oil life and my engine is starting to make noise from no oil. I am completely out of oil. My engine is loud when you turn it on and you can hear the gears hitting each other from no oil. I feel like one of these days I'll turn on my car and my engine blows up. I also did some research and I see they've been sued for this problem and nothing was ever done. I got my car looked at and there is no oil leaks. It's also damage my engine from going through so much oil in such a short period of time.

I own a 2014 Equinox it has 103,000. The code was for a position actuator sensor ( timing variable solenoid). I replaced it, simple fix. Engine light still on. Within the next couple months I realize my vehicle idles on the lower side. My vehicle almost stalled out while in a drive thru one day. Once you put some gas to it seems ok. Problem goes away for a while. Then finally one day I go to leave work and my stabilitrak message pops up and takes many times to start. My lights act weird. Car get stuck turning over and went to limp mode. I finally get it to come out of this somehow and make my long commute home, but I can tell the power in my car is lacking. No messages just a engine light with the same codes. Next day my car starts fine and like nothing is wrong. Car stalls out 3 times while driving out of a parking lot. Barely get it home. Then acts like nothing happens. Stalls out while in mcdonald drive thru with my kids. Will not start, had to push it to a parking spot. After 20 minutes I get it to start, but I have no rpms and it feels like the electrical system in my car is not running properly. I make it to my moms, which is very close to mcdonald. Park it, pick it up that night. Starts up like nothing is wrong. I decide to take it to a mechanic. First visit was a $33 part that cost me $400 worth of labor. They diagnosed my car with their computer, none of my sensors are bad. Engine light states other wise. Car does all the symptoms again along with loud engine noise. Turns out my timing chain is bad (1,614 repair). 24 hrs later. Won't start for me, finally get it on. Engine light on, idle issues so on. As of 2 days after that. Engine light goes off like nothing happened. Mechanic stated I had no damage to motor and all looks good. I believe there is a electrical issues and timing chain issues with this 2. 4l engine. A safety hazard and need recalled.

While driving on the highway, the rear engine seal blew out and within a few minutes (unknowingly my engine drained completely of oil) and by the time I was able to get over 2 lanes the damage had been done snapping connecting rod and damaging an entire cylinder. There was no warning of this issue and I fear that if my wife had been driving with my two children under 4 that it could have been a huge safety concern. I was able to recognize the slight noise at first that progressively got louder, but could see my wife ignoring it long enough to cause an issue. This is extremely scary to me and at 111k this should not happen. Gm offered financial assistance for the repair at less than a 1/3 of the cost and could not get any explanation why it is different from bulletin 14882 that describes the exact issue that my car had.

While driving down the road the engine started making strange sounds and then the engine warning lights came on and the engine quit operating. After pulling out the engine oil dip stick, no oil was indicated. On the rear deck lid there was a oily film.

Engine light came on followed by small lurching evrytime vehicle came to a stop. Lurching progressed to large movement. Car to mechanic computer indicated a sensor issue. Had this replaced. 1 week later everything repeated mechanic changes other sensor. Car fine for 2 months although engine light continues to turn off and on, computer continues to say sensor. Engine light goes off again immediately followed by significant return to lurching and then car stalls out . New terrible engine noise. Waiting for mechanic to have availability.

I have my oil changed regularly and this last time I wasn't into the oil change more then 1000 miles and it started making a noise and stalling out took it in and there was no oil in it so they changed it for me but it continues to stall then my engine light came on had it tested and it doesn't show any issues. The stalling happens when I'm at a stop or just slowing down and also backing up.
