2013 Chevrolet Equinox Complaint Log

My timing chain on my 2013 Equinox broke with no warning. There was no engine light to alert me, i never once had a service tech tell me i needed to change this chain or proactively deal with the problem. We had never had too much oil consumption, and now I am told my engine needs to be replaced for $9,000 or i need to buy a new car. The dealer says nothing can be done, this isnt covered under warranty, and my car is now worthless. This broke late at night in a parking lot, and i had to wait nearly an hour to be towed and get home, but this could have been much worse if I had been driving.

I purchased a 2013 Chevy Equinox in January of 2020. The engine is now burning an excessive amount of oil. After taking to the dealership, I was told by the Chevy service advisor that this is a common problem for these vehicles. I've researched this issue online, and I am far from being the only vehicle owner that this is happening to. General Motors is well aware of this problem with these engines, however, the company has not recalled these engines to fix the problem. The fact that there are hundreds of thousands of these engines out on American roads belching out toxic smoke into the environment is a concern that the EPA should be aware of. This article explains very clearly the problem and the lack of an appropriate response by General Motors. https://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2018/chevy-equinox-oil-consumption-lawsuit.shtml I believe that General Motors needs to do a full recall on these engines to replace the defective pistons that are allowing oil to leak into the combustion chamber and pollute the environment.

Burns oils. Sometimes oil pan is dry after recently getting an oil change and before next oil change is needed. Bad pistons.

I was driving along and all of a sudden heard and felt a crunching underneath my car. I went directly home and upon shutting my vehicle off, it ran for a few seconds more before quitting. There was also fluid(gear oil) pouring out from underneath my car. No warning lamps or messages. I had the vehicle towed to a mechanic where it was confirmed that the fuel pump and transfer case were non operational.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that the switch used to control the defroster failed to operate as needed. Due to the failure, the vision through the windshield was obstructed while driving. The dealer was contacted and acknowledged the failure; however, the contact was provided a diagnostic test fee to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 54,000.

Excessive oil loss. Must check oil every two day. Engine clicking.

While my husband was driving to work at 5:30a.m., may 2022, on the highway, the car started shaking, puttering and making noise.made it to a gas station and checked oil and car had no oil, no warning lights ever came on car had recently gotten an oil change and no where close to 3,000 miles for another oil change yet and display check said I had 58% life of oil. As a result engine blew and was junk, car only had 128,000 miles and did oil changes faithfully. Car sat in driveway for almost a year as I had just paid it off month before this happening. I struggled to save money for new engine and have been waiting for one since March this year. The manufacturer knew of oil consumption burning at high rates and owners getting no warning and new engines would blow and be junk.they did extend some warranty,but only till a certain mileage, which I believe is wrong and should have been offered to everyone regardless of this. I only found out after this happened to me and was to late, how would I know this to happen…… please help me get engine covered as I’m disabled and need car…

No prior symptoms or warning lights the transfer case in my equinox went upon further research tons of equinox’s and similar gm cars have had the same issue where a part inside the transfer case cause the case to crack and fluid to leak out if this happens when driving the car will become inoperable creating a safety hazard gm made a replacement transfer case without the issue but never issued a recall a quick look online and you will see a ton of consumer complaints related to this issue I do believe gm knew about it and instead of doing the right thing just made a replacement and left it at that.

Engine Problems Due to Excessive Oil Consumption, Rattling, and Failure. Then There Is The Electrical Issues Which Would Drive Anyone Insane causing certain functions not to work. The constant dimming of the screen it self.Im very upset cause im a single mom of a college student, I can’t afford these kind of issues.

Fuel pump stopped working and caused the car to stall while moving at high speeds. Only has 120000 miles on it. Almost crashed into another car.

The engine locked up and has been confirmed by a mechanic. My teenage day was stuck in the heat for 5 hours because the engine locked up while she was at work. There were no warnings lights or anything prior to this occurrence.

I was driving on the highway and the stabilitrak light came on as well as the power steering, ABS, traction control light and engine light then my car literally slowed down and had no power. I was doing 60 mile an hour and it down shifted to almost 5 miles an hour

My car caught fire 1 minute after it started smoking while I was driving it due to an electrical issue. I nearly died. The fire totaled my car. I had to pull over as fast as possible and nearly caught a nearby restaurant on fire. It was inspected by the fire department. There was no warning messages or symptoms.

I was driving on the highway and the stabilitrak light came on as well as the power steering, ABS, traction control light and engine light then my car literally slowed down and had no power. I was doing 60 mile an hour and it down shifted to almost 5 miles an hour, thank God there were no cars near nor behind me, it would have killed me and my daughter So now the service stabilitrak light is on / the check engine light is on / the power steering light and break light comes on and then goes off. The diagnostic read says – 1.)P0575 Cruise Control switch, 2.)P0700, 3.)U0101 - loss communication with transmission control module replace, 4.)Transmission input shaft speed sensor, 5.)Replace transmission electrical hydraulic control module, 6.)U0073 CAN bus Communication Is there a recall on this – this is very dangerous!!!

I have had this vehicle a month and have had to put a total of 5 qts of oil in it from the excessive oil consumption and part of those miles I drove from Kansas City, Mo. to Carson City, Ca I had to use 2 qts of oil I never have had to put this much oil in a vehicle,

Engine light on

2013 Equinox Awd - Issue while driving and coming to a stop or low idle car stalls out while waiting to turn in intersection. Very scary car goes into limp mode after about 15 minutes of driving with engine light on. Have taken to dealer ship in 3/31/2022 code p0191 and p0172 vehicle runs rough. Dealer replaced fuel tank fuel pump and said fixed. Driving home 15 min issue happened again took back to dealer. Dealer ran many test and replaced many parts with no luck solving issue after having car in shop until 7/29/2022. Dealer said to get a new car they have no idea how to fix issue and not safe to drive when stalling in bust traffic. Dealer stated they called manufacture and they didn’t have a answer for fix to issue.

I went to Walmart to get an oil change. 8 days later while I was driving my SUV began making a knocking sound. I pulled over at a convenience store, checked the oil level and there was no oil in the SUV. I added 1 quart of oil and called Walmart to tell them what was going on. Walmart asked me to bring the SUV back since it had only been 8 days. Walmart added oil to my SUV but the car would not start afterwards. The mechanics had to push my car out of the service area. I had my car towed to GMC for diagnostics, inwhich they told me I would need to replace the engine. I kept up with my service work and had paid the SUV off 7 months prior so this was so frustrating.

Excessive oil consumption. 4 quarts plus oil used between oil changes. Reeders in Knoxville TN did part of recall but not all and made us pay for it. Work done on 4/9/2019. Oil consumption gets worse every oil change. GM should be forced to fix this issue due to emissions laws and cost factor at $7 a quart. No wonder current administration wants electric cars. Maybe GM should ve turned in to current administration for these excessive emissions.

General Motors has a problem with the pcv system in the Chevy equinox with the 2.4. When it’s super cold out moisture freezes in the pcv system and causes the motor not to breathe and blows the rear main seal out and drains all the oil out and my check engine light came on and said low oil pressure which if you are traveling down the interstate and the motor locks up because of loss of oil it can cause a huge accident. General Motors has a bulletin out on this same problem but says it’s vin specific and they will not cover my Chevy equinox even tho it is the right year and motor size on the bulletin. My wife was driving and the vehicle started chugging and jerking and was making all kind of noises due to no oil. When she brought it home the driveway was covered in oil. I towed it into my shop and let it thaw over night and investigated and found the pcv was full of water and that’s what froze causing it to blow the rear main seal out. Now that there is no water in the pcv system I still have to put 2 quarts of oil in it every other day due to the rear main seal blowing out. Talked to General Motors over and over and they won’t cover it. I own my own mechanics shop and inspected it.

I was driving along the interstate hwy using my cruise control. The hwy dipped into a low area and then back up a hill. The engine revved to very high RPMs to reach speed. Then then engine completely died. I was able to keep control of the vehicle and maneuver to the side of the road so as to not cause an accident. After having the vehicle towed to the nearest Chevy dealership, the service department told me the engine was out of oil. The mechanic said the engine needs to be completely rebuilt. This vehicle was purchased four months ago from a very large multi-brand auto dealership. I’ve driven only 3,000 miles since purchasing. I had not had an oil change. The repair shop says there was no oil leak. They told me these engines are known to consume large amounts of oil and that I should have been putting in a quart a month. General Motors should be recalling these engines! At the very least they should be warning consumers to check the oil frequently. The dealership I purchased this car from said absolutely nothing about oil issues. I could have died driving this vehicle down the highway. As it was I was left on the side of the road in negative temps waiting for help to arrive.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Equinox. While attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle would make a knocking noise and there was an oil leak coming from the engine compartment. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local mechanic where it was diagnosed with needing the rear main seal to be replaced however, the vehicle was not repaired.

My 2013 Equinox has a plugged PCV system. Ironically, this is the same EXACT issue related to a Special Coverage Adjustment put out by Chevy. Special Coverage Adjustment 14882. My car falls into the timeframe of 10 years and under 120,000.00 to have this covered for free but they say my VIN wasn't included in this Special Adjustment. Because my part wasn't made a plant who decided to put out this bulletin, I am just screwed? Dealer had an Equinox in the shop at the same time as mine with the EXACT issue, his car was older than 2013 but his VIN was included. Clearly this is an issue and it isn't right to assume that maybe some parts were missed and can still have the issue even if they weren't made at a particular plant. I want an answer as to why they aren't willing to at least pay half when they are claiming some responsibility and just trying to tell me that my particular part has reached the end of it's life and nothing to do with the VIN's that are included in this adjustment. That is a poor excuse. I was dropping my daughter off at work when all this noise started happening and made it the couple blocks home. Now it has been sitting at the shop for 6 weeks while I have been trying to figure this out. Luckily my other daughter has a car I have been able to use for immediate needs but this is beyond ridiculous. This is a safety issue and something that is a problem with Chevy and no one wants to take ownership.

There is an oil consumption issue. This car needs oil every other week. It’s burning way to much.

Chevy equinox has known TSB 14882 for blocked PCV port due to too small design. Exhaust and gas smell enters cabin and makes CO alarm go off. Feeling of whoosy and safety issue. GM called and reported issue but they refused to even look at vehicle. If exhaust from engine venting due to high pressure with PCV known clog issue - could cause loss of consciousness next time. Consider this a near miss.

Excess oil consumption resulting in having to get oil changed monthly. Oil can be full one day and empty the next without any warning. I have read it is a defected piston however the special circumstances gm was granted rather than a recall has expired according to gm customer service. I was never sent anything in this exception either

Turned my car on in the morning before work and it started then shut off. A message saying “ engine power reduced” showed up. I had it towed to a mechanic and was told my engine was done. I had gotten an oil change a month and a half prior and no engine light or anything ever came on. I am now going to have to figure out how to pay for a new engine which costs about 4500 with no source of income as I’m a single mom in nursing school. This car needs to be recalled. I was unaware of the previous special coverage and was told there was nothing they could do about it since it had expired last may.

The vehicle stopped while driving in a congested area and again at the traffic light | the dealership confirmed it was a blown engine | apparently, it is a WELL KNOWN issue with so many complaints regarding the vehicle's engine will consume an excessive amount of oil, the smell of gas, smoke, etc from other Equinox owners | This vehicle is unsafe to drive | the NHTSA and GM Motors are aware of the unsafeness and how the vehicle will just shut off immediately | I guess so many people will have to die in an accident before a recall will be placed on this vehicle.

ON 9/25/21, MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE TEMPERTURE LIGHT AND THE CHECK OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. WHEN THE SERVICE MAN CHECKED THE OIL HE SAID THERE WAS ALMOST NO OIL LEFT IN THE ENGINE. MY DASHBOARD SAID THAT I HAD 18% OIL.THE ENGINE WAS ALSO MAKING A LOUD NOISE AND STOPPING WAS DIFFICULT. THE DEALERSHIP DID AN OIL CHANGE AND TALKED TO ME ABOUT HAVING THE PISTONS CHANGED, CLOSE TO $3,000. I HAD HEARD THE ENGINE NOISE ONCE BEFORE, i BOUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE PERSON REFUSED TO DO AN OIL CHANGE AND HE DID NOT CHECK MY OIL. THE OIL PERCENTAGE AT THAT TIME WAS BETWEEN 33 AND 38%. THE SERVICE PERSON KEPT RANTING THAT THE COMPANY WAS NOT GOING TO PAY FOR THE OIL CHANGE IT WAS TOO EARLY. I HAVE A BUYER PROTECTION PLAN THAT PAYS FOR MY OIL CHANGES. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO KNOW HOW BAD THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM IS SO THEY ARE HAVING ME COME TO THE DEALERSHIP SO THEY CAN CHECK MY OIL IN BETWEEN THIS OIL CHANGE. A FEW DAYS AFTER THE OIL PROBLEM, I RECEIVED IN THE MAIL FROM GM ALERTING ME FOR THE FIRST TIME ABOUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION VRS. DASH BOARD OIL CONSUMPTION USAGE AS INDICATED BY THE CARS COMPUTER. ACCORDING TO ONE OF THE SERVICE PERSONS, GENERAL MOTORS HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE NOT ALERTED THEIR CUSTOMERS. MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I RELY ON SOCIAL SECURITY AS OUR SOURCE OF INCOME. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AND ENGINE FIRE, LOSS OF LIFE COULD HAVE HAPPENED. GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL AND ALERTED THEIR CUSTOMERS OF THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM, INSTEAD OF CHOOSING TO IGNORE IT. THEY SHOULD REALIZE THAT A DEAD CUSTOMER CAN NOT DRIVE A CAR. IF THE ENGINE HAD BLOWN UP BECAUSE OF THE INACCURATE OIL READING, ALERTING THE CUSTOMER SOONER MAY HAVE PREVENTED THE PROBLEM. PRO ACTIVE WORKS BETTER THAN HIDING YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND. I AM TELLING YOU ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SO THAT OTHERS NEVER EXPERIENCE WHAT I DID. THIS MAY BE THE LAST GM CAR I EVER BUY.

On Feb 14 2021 took car in to a Chevy dealership to have 2 recalls done . Tailpipe emission oxygen sensor, Front wiper transmission corrosion failure .

Will contact dealership to have issue checked out with a different location.

Engine runs rich with a P0172 code and requires a new fuel pump to resolve the issue. Causes an engine light, fluctuating tach reading at idle, excess fuel consumption, and some performance issues as the computer figures out how to compensate.

Excessive Oil Usage causing a danger if ideal conditions arrive especially on the highway. This is a concern as it could potentially stop my vehicle from running. Note, the majority of my daily commute , to and from work is on the highway. Yes, multiple Firestone techs and also other owners of the same model. Inspected by techs that perform regular maintenance on it. They appeared shortly after the vehicle turned over 100,000 miles. Engine light reveals that there is a problem. The oil that is used should be sufficient until the next scheduled oil change but does not. Note: I reached out to GM with no response. I texted them because a phone call was not being answered. I am requesting that GM takes responsibility for their faulty product. Thank you.

My car received a recall and special coverage notice some months ago and the recall part for the oxygen sensor was fixed but the special coverage they are not wanting to fix the dealership or Gm motors. My Cadillac converter made my pistons go bad because of the oil consumption and there was an open special coverage that I was not notified of last year in 2020 that closed and that would cover the piston ring where so they’re saying they will not cover it anymore even though it was caused by the Cadillac converter that is in the special coverage that is still open for 2022. The dealership at the Chevrolet here in my hometown tells me they are not going to fix it because the coverage is expired on both ends and they’re tired of dealing with me and to go pick up my car. They have also even recommended me to just fill it up with oil every 2500 miles when in reality it’s not even driving those 2500 miles When it eats up the oil. I am risking my car engine blowing out due to this. I am only 19 years old I got this car start my first job and I need it for my job I am risking losing my employment due to this also. They even recommended me that I could drive to my job that’s two hours at a distance back-and-forth so that would be four hours a day and that nothing would happen the next day my engine light turned on showing that the oil fill line was very low. Then they are saying that my paperwork is expired but it is not plus on the paperwork for the special coverage it say that if it is aspired to still fix the deal with the oil consumption. They are taking advantage of me because I am a young woman who is only 19 and they think that I do not know anything about it I feel unsafe driving my car and I want them to fix what needs to be fixed. They are telling me they will not fix it anymore even though the special coverage is still current and they are tired of dealing with me.They told me to go pick up my car because they will not fix it. I am tired of not being heard.

My wife was driving on the highway and the engine started to sputter and then stalled out in the middle of traffic. Mechanic said the engine was almost out of oil but no dashboard notification of any oil issue.
