Purchased the vehicle April 2019. Have proof of 6 oil changes and proper maintenance while driving for less than 2 years, but due to no warnings of low oil on the vehicle and with a confirmed defect stated by my mechanic. This 2. 4 l ecotec engine has massive oil consumption defects. This vehicle needs to be recalled. It stopped in the middle of the street while I was driving. Further research confirms this defect beyond the stated 2010- 2013 recall.
I've owned this vehicle for a year and a half now. Countless times I've had oil leaking, increased oil consumption, and frequent oil changes. This past time has been a month since my last oil change, and when getting to work this morning I noted sounds coming from the engine, and checked the oil to find no oil left. One month, and it consumed 5 quarts of oil. When driving and coming to a stop, there is a noticeable hitch, as well as when accelerating up a hill, along with a slight knock in the engine when oil runs out.
Tl- the contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that oil would leak out of the vehicle while driving at various speeds as the engine light would illuminate on the instrument panel.

One day, the contact stated that after placing oil into the vehicle, the vehicle began to jerk uncontrollably and a blueish smoke began to emit from the engine.
