Engine Burning Oil problems of the 2016 Chevrolet Equinox

Equinox smells like burning oil and now it's begun to stall at random times usually while backing up or foward at low speeds or stopped. Had this vehicle 6 months and haven't even put 4,000 miles on it. Odometer shows 36,645 miles.

In early November of 2020 my Chevrolet Equinox engine failed due to excessive oil consumption and burning oil. My low oil light never went on and we did regular oil changes which still didnt matter. We were putting oil in it every few days until finally it wouldnt start anymore. I had it then towed to the Chevrolet dealership to have it fixed as it is my only means of transportation. They corrected the problem but refuse to take accountability for the excessive oil consumption resulting in a bill of over $2,200. They never fixed the low oil light, and we have found that now even though it had been fixed it is still using oil excessively so I am constantly checking it. I contacted Chevrolet to dispute the matter but they refuse to pay for the damage because it is out of warranty. I told them that I believe it to be a manufacturing defect as I have researched that many chevy Equinoxes have had similar issues resulting in engine damage, yet they still have refused to look into it and said to file a complaint with you hence this email. I am seeking a recall on the 2016 Equinox regarding excessive oil consumption and defective low oil light. This is a safety hazard and could cause an engine to die on a highway and possibly cause an accident. I would appreciate this being looked into and be kept informed on its status. Thank you.

Excessive oil consumption without any warning lights drove car with no oil in engine.

Engine burns oil. . . SUV actually shut off on me while driving and when I took it to the shop, it was found to have no oil. Luckily it shut off when I was by myself without my family while at a red light and not when I was driving. This is a known gm issue with older Equinox's and nothing has been corrected. Someone is going to get seriously injured or killed bc of this issue! it is well documented that a lot of other Equinox owners are dealing with the same issue that should have been corrected! gm has failed their customers and is acting negligent!.

The car consumes massive amounts of oil, like the previous model years. No warning is given that the vehicle runs out of oil causing damage to the pistons, timing chains and engine. Gm dropped the power train warranty to 60 k knowing that these vehicles have had this issues since 2011- to current. The failure happens at 58-60 k miles making it the customer's responsibility to pay for this enormous repair. In talking to the dealership they are well aware of this issue yet no one has informed the owners that oil consumption on a brand new car would need to be monitored or that no engine light would be triggered. Leaving the customer with a car with less of a power-train warranty and the full cost of the repair. I filed a complaint with gm and was told that since the car was out of warranty that they could do a cost assistance but would not cover the repair, because my mileage is just outside the 60k mark. This is unacceptable. My coworker has the same vehicle and because his car failed at 58 k it was paid for. Gm knew what they were doing in lowering the power-train warranty on this car. Something needs to be done to protect the consumer and gm needs to repair these vehicles they know are defective.
