2014 model year chevy Equinox. My car was produced in 9-2013, and has had continuous high oil consumption since purchase. Every few weeks it is making a loud noise after start up, and I am having to add oil (3 qts yesterday of the 5w-30 dexron oil as listed on the cap).
On 2/26/20 in the morning, the car was parked when I turned the car on and the engine rattle loudly. I turned off immediately. My husband was with me and asked me to turn it on again. This time it only made loud noises but it did not turn on. It was towed 2 days later to a mechanic in finksburg, MD. He said the engine was destroyed and needed to be replaced. The mechanic and us had observed that when the car reached 125k miles, the oil consumption increased and had to be refilled on a weekly basis. Before the engine broke, the car was worth about $4k. The mechanic says it will be $8k to $8,500 to replace the engine. I, of course don't have the money and now I don't have a car. There should be an engine recall on the gm 2014 chevy Equinox. It's unconscionable that gm has so many problems with their Equinox engines and they keep selling them. I hope I can join a class action lawsuit even if it takes years to force gm to accept responsibility for their fraudulent practices that cause such hardship and emotional distress to us trusting consumers.
