My car started to use a lot of oil, and upon my regular oil changes it would always be very low, but oil was not leaking out of the car. It got to the point that I had to put oil in often to operate the car. It got to the point that it would cut off on me in school lines. After dealing with this over a period of time it sounded so bad that the express oil change facilities refused to change my oil because they said it was an engine problem. So I had no other choice but to purchase another vehicle 2 months after towing it home. I have 2 vehicle payments, my 2017 Equinox been down over a year now. Please add my VIN # to the recall. Im experiences the same symptoms.

Purchased October 2019 one day I went to the store and on the return home it started to rattle like it was out of oil upon inspection oil was leaking profusly between the engine and transmission when I searched there is a problem with the rear main oil seal getting blown out when the pvc is plugged but when I looked for vehicle recall there was nothing I could find.
Driving on highway, my car make a loud bang, it said transmission overheating idle engine, engine overheating, idle engine, service stabilitrack, service anti lock breaking system, service power steering system, my engine light was flashing, I went to exit the highway to the off ramp and all of a sudden my car came to a screeching halt and car would not move made the loudest bang I have ever heard. I have had this issue one other time! the dealership claimed my transmission had a leak but no leak marks in my brand new driveway, they told me to drive it for 200 miles so they can figure out where the leak is, this was all said the day I had my oil changed, then when I can back after driving 200 miles they then claimed my oil pan was leaking and needed to be replaced. Thank god my bumper to bumper warranty was still in effect. They looked shocked when I explained to them that and I would not be paying for it.
I purchased the car in April, 17, went for first "prepaid" oil changejune, mentioned oil leak. Told by serviceman, fixed. 2nd oil change around September, still seeing oil leak. Said fixed. Last January 2018, I took a video of puddle of oil in garage so they can see it was active leak. Car keep all day. Fixed. This past may, took it in their report said, oil leak, that needs to be checkout out. I have not taken the car to anyone else. Bruce lowrie Chevrolet has the history. I prepaid for oil changes and go regularly. Dates are approximate but I have reports in my car glovebox.
We noticed a bad fuel smell in the cabin of the vehicle and had oil leaking from it took it to the dealership and the rear main seal was blown. They did the repair and a week later had the same thing happen again. It's been at the dealership twice for the same issue.
