I was driving around 50 mph down a rural road when a message suddenly appeared saying no oil pressure, stop engine. I continued about a half mile to stop sign and engine quit as I was braking. Would not re-start. I was stranded on the roadside. Upon checking reason for no oil pressure I determined there was no oil in the engine, no visible leaks or drips on undercarriage of vehicle. Engine apparently had ceased up. Oil change indicator was at 44%, what happened to the oil. There were no oil spots on my garage floor. No low oil indicator light appeared on the dash panel prior to the stop engine warning. There was no knocking or lifter ticking sounds coming from the engine prior to indicate there was a low oil issue. 3. 0 l v6.

While idling hearing very loud clicking noise from passenger side of the car. Opened the hood and found my #1 spark plug jutting in and out of the cylinder head. Also smell burning rubber/gas smell. Very tired of this vehicle and manufacture's unwillingness to say there is major problems with it. This is the 5th issue I have had with the vehicle!!!!!!!!.

Concerning 2011 chevy Equinox 4cyl, on startup, there will be a loud knocking noise, sounds as if there is no oil in the engine, sound lasts from 1-5 seconds then goes away. Most of the times it will do it on first start-up of the day but there have been a few times where it has done it multiple times in the same day. Car has been in the shop 4 times for the same issue, they have replaced the cam actuator and solenoid, which I had to bring back again (#5) because the gasket was seated incorrectly and was leaking oil on my driveway. Service account manager has heard the noise the first time I bought it in and the last time it was in, both times the sound lasted about 1 second, but it was enough that both of us heard it, not as long as the times when starting at home, probably because those were on first start-up of the day whereas the times at the dealership it was either already running or was started a few times that day. They also replaced a high pressure pump insulator cover for a ticking noise that had nothing to do with the knocking noise. Also have mentioned to them that while accelerating (from dead stop at traffic light, going up on-ramps to highways and merging into high-speed traffic), the rpm's will drop down to zero and car almost stalls then it kicks back into gear (up to 6500 rpms), this has happened at least 5 times, and they couldn't duplicate that problem either. I have tried all 3 grades of gasoline and issues were present with all 3. At this point it has already been in 4 times for the same issue and I feel as though one day the engine will have more serious issues because of these issues.

I was traveling at a speed of about 10-15 miles per hour, conducting an investigation pertaining to my job, when I began to hear a loud clicking sound coming from my engine compartment. I immediately pulled over and turn the vehicle off. After letting the engine rest / cool for about 20 minutes, I restart the vehicle, at which point the amber oil alert lamp activates, and then turns off. Now, mind you, I had just had an oil change approximately 700 miles prior to this occurring. The clicking began to subside, and, since the amber oil alert lamp was no longer on, I figured it would be a good idea just to get it back home so the oil could be checked the next morning. Suddenly, when I arrive home, and get ready to turn the vehicle off in the driveway, the amber oil alert lamp re-activates, the engine, again, clicking. I turned the vehicle off. The following morning, I contacted a g. M. Dealership and described to them what had occurred. They told me I should bring the vehicle to them to be inspected; however, the soonest I could get in was about three weeks. Instead, I contacted a local oil-change store and had the oil changed and the system checked out. A little ways down the road, about 1,000 miles into my oil change, the amber oil lamp comes on again, still clicking, but not nearly as much as before. I pull into my driveway a few miles later and start hearing a "clunking" knocking sound coming from the engine compartment, at which point the red oil lamp came on. I called the general motors corporate customer support line, whom, after I described what was going on, stated to me it sounded like a major engine problem relating to oil issues. I asked what general motors could do for me, and she stated "I am sorry, mr. Black, but the Equinox, prior to the 2008, was not manufactured with any type of power train warranty whatsoever. I am sorry but there is nothing we can do to help you. " now I have to replace my engine due to major damage! (83,600 miles).

Bought a 2010 chevy Equinox on oct. 31st. . Have had it 5 months and has 5,500 miles on the motor is making a severe or really loud ticking noise. Took it to 2 chevy dealers and they tell me this is normal but when you start one up on the lot it makes no where near the noise mine does. They tell me it is normal for this kind of fuel injectors and refuse to fix it. Was not loud at all when we purchased the vehicle now it just keeps getting louder. It really is a shame when we pull up next to an older car and it is quieter than our brand new one.
