1 Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 02/19/2021

Our 2015 chevy Equinox has just over 78,000 miles on it. My wife was driving it and said it was running rough and making a noise. She got it home and we had it towed to a shop. We were told that due to a faulty pvc pipe in or near the intake had frozen up causing pressure to build up and it blew our rear main seal, snapped the timing chain and breaking of teeth. The mechanic said this was an issue with these vehicles and that a special bulletin had been issued but not on our year. We ended up paying just shy of 1900. 00 to fix this. We were also told that because the design flaw hadn't been fixed that this could happen repeatedly. We still owe a lot of money on this car and we can't afford to pay this kind of bill again. We would like to be reimbursed.

2 Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 02/07/2021

I was driving my car the other day and it started making a strange noise and a was a half a mile from my home and pulled in the drive way to have my husband check my car and oil was poring out of my region on the driveway. No indicator lights went on to tell me there was a problem either. Took it to a service garage and they told me it would cost me $4,500 to fix it. I serviced my car on the regular so I should of had no problems.
