Vehicle has 55000 miles and check engine light is on. In scanning the car I was told that p0010 the intake positions actuator circuit and p0013 exhaust camshaft position actuator circuit needed to be serviced to the tune of between 1200. 00 and 1500. 00 dollars which is normal for these cars I. Think this is bs I have oil changed every 2000 miles or 3 months with castrol dexos 5w30 and lucas oil stabilizer. Sounds like this should be covered by yhe manufacturer.

My check engine light came on so I took it in to get assessed. With less than 90,000 miles, this vehicle requires a new engine. It consumes a lot of oil and has been since I bought it one year ago, me having to add oil every 2 weeks. Also, the timing chain needs replacement-which is still only a temporary fix. Every mechanic I have spoken to says this year, make and model has been having to replace the engine. And there is no recall.

My vehicle had a oil change at 86,000 miles. I hit 90,722 miles . The vehicle was running fine and when I got off work and tried to start the car it started but then shut off. I had no check engine lights, no low oil light and had a perfect diagnostics report on my onstar, I had to get the vehicle towed to a dealer per on star, after speaking to the dealer I was informed the motor blew up because it jumped time and dumped oil. I was also told this is a common problem with this motor but gm is refusing to fix it because the warranty just went up 6 months ago . I have been told by several shops chevy knows about this time chain or jumping time issue and in most cases a new motor is required. I would like to understand why no warning lights came on and how oil could dump after having a oil change 3,000 miles give or take ? and why chevy is passing the problem onto the customer.

Rear main seal blew due to a faulty pvc valve, and warranty will not cover repairs. Say it is because it is a know factor with gm and they will not recall.

2013 Chevrolet Equinox. Check engine light illuminated. Code p0014 code definition camshaft position �b� - timing over-advanced or system performance (bank 1) replaced both intake and exhaust vvt. Vehicle is losing about a quart of oil every 1000 miles. Took to dealer. Did a diagnostic. Old code found, no new "problems" found. Was told running normal. It died 2 times on the way home. This caused my vehicle to stall while attempting to take off at a green light, almost causing a rear end accident two times. Fortunately, I didn't need to break or I would have probably hit another vehicle. After reading other reviews, this appears to be a continuation of a 2011 problem with the Equinox. We were in the process of looking at a chevy tahoe, but with chevy's history it appears we'll look at a different brand.

Check enginge light keeps coming on. Code says dealer specific, went to go to dealer, light went off. Two weeks later, light comes back on for a few days, goes back off. Had the diesel system cleaned by dealer, light still comes on and off. Car has 42k miles, expertly maintained. Dealer wants $135 to diagnose the problem that their own documents say there is no solution for. On star diagnoses found nothing wrong with the vehicle and didn't even show the �check engine light� as being on. Similar reports from others online involving the 1. 6l diesel. No performance issues with the light on, but Chevrolet should be able to fix the issue - even if the car is out of warranty. A two year old car shouldn't be having random check engine light issues.

My vehicle had turned off while driving it sputtered a bit the shut off. . I started it back up then I drove home and took it to the dealership the following day. No check engine lights or anything ever popped up to giving any warning. Dealership said it was a solenoid idk if I spelled that right. I hope its the problem.

My car runs rough and shuts off when slowing down or stopping at stop signs and red lights. My car has 112,000 miles and warranty ran out at 100,000. Check engine light code is p0010. This seems to be a very big problem for the Equinox and there are no recalls. The older models have recalls for the same issue. I feel this is a very dangerous issue that cheverlet should take responsibility for.

While driving my car stopped in the middle of the the intersection I turned car off and back on. Made it home and check engine light comes on. Since I bought my car my car rattles and more so when in reverse.

Having to add oil between oil changes, check engine light came on and had it checked. Per code low oil and can only be reset after an oil change. Brought it to the dealer and got the oil changed and a few days later the dealer called stating I need to get new piston rings because of a recall on the vehicle or I will lose oil. The dealer stated the gm will go 50/50 with me on the fix since the recall expired. I did not get a recall notice or have the 50% of the cost to fix the vehicle, I am the 2nd owner.

My vehicles check engine light came on then the stability light came on the vehicle sounded like it was choking. When we got it to the repair shop it stalled out and when the shop did shove investigation there was no oil in the vehicle. Although there was no warning about oil being low or lights on. As we were bringing vehicle to shop it smelled of burning. Vehicle started malfunctioning when stationary and became worse when in motion.

Driving on a road at 50mph the engine lost power slowed down and both the check engine light and stabiltrack light came message saidstabiltrac needs service. I had engine work done just two weeks ago.

Twice in 3 yrs this car has been in the shop for a major engine issue with water getting in the valves this was detected when the check engine light came and the car is the shop for over a week each time.

Vehicle was in motion approximately 45 mph when check engine light came on, message then appeared that engine power is reduced and speed immediately dropped to around 15 mph and then to a rough idle at approx 5-10mph. Was almost rear ended by vehicle traveling behind me. I was able to limp remaining 2 miles home and contacted dealer. Appointment was made and dealer reported code p2135 and replaced throttle body. . Dealer said throttle didn't know up from down. Dealer stated this is a common problem with the Equinox. I have read many complaints online about this same issue with other owners reporting being put in a dangerous position with the sudden drop in speed like we were. I contacted chevy gm and they said there were no recalls. If rapid acceleration has been treated by other companies as recall worthy, I dont understand why chevy does not consider this recall worthy. I have attached the repair report with this complaint.

Just finshed my second year into my 3 year 2018 chevy Equinox lease and for the last month or so the service brake assist has appeared and dissapeared dozens of times when starting the vehicle and while driving as well as the check engine light has come on and off for the last few weeks. Orginally mad an appointment but the dealer ship canclled it and then my car suddenly had reduced power the died in the middle of the road as I was driving on the road. Not a highway. Got it towed to the dealer and the say a vacum pump seized? now are saying there is metal in the engine amd they dont know why. Trying to get me to pay for cost. Have taken car of vehchile and done the required matinence. This should not be happening on a 2 year old car with on 32000 miles. Very concerned there is something defected with the car. As numerous vehicles have been recalled for similar issues to mine by gm.

I just recently bought a 2011 chevy Equinox lt awd, and soon after I began driving it, the check engine light came on with code p0420 catalyst system efficiency below threshold. Chevy had issued special coverage adjustment 15810 in August 2016 with regard to the catalyst system, but the mileage was over the coverage limit of 120,000 when the sca was issued, and chevy won't cover the issue now.

Car started shaking and no check engine or oil light was ever displayed. I got to work and asked my friend to check my oil. He checked the oil and he said he doesn?t even know how I made it to work because my car has no oil in it. My car says I still have time to get my oil changed. I noticed my car was acting up for the last week or so. My car is currently sitting in my work parking lot and I need to have some to take me to get oil and then drop off at mechanic.

For a few days my car was running rough then while driving down the road about 45 mph it suddenly lost power and really began running rough. There were no warning lights, nothing. I pulled over and turned the car off and then turned it back on. It still was running rough. At this point the check engine light came on and a message popped saying the engine was running at reduced power. I drove 1/2 mile at ~ 15 mph to drop my daughter at school. At that point the car totally died. When it was taken to the shop it was found to have no oil. There was no indication that my car was out of oil or running low on oil and it probably had about 3500 miles since last oil change. My engine was ruined and now I have to purchase another motor! not happy as the car had about ~100k miles and that's low to me. And apparently there are issues with these engines so I am probably just paying to put another bad engine in!.

The vehicle stalls upon going a slow rate of speed as when backing out of a driveway, driving in a parking lot, or stopping and trying to perform a turn on a city street. It can also stall on the interstate if you idle while slowed due to traffic stops. You have to turn the car off and restart the vehicle. It stalls about 3-4 times a trip. Several times a day. The check engine light is on.
