2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. CONSUMER WRITES SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS MADE RELATED TO SAFETY RECALL.

The Ecotec 2.4L engine installed within this vehicle has been, at an increasing rate, burning oil. At the vehicles most recent change, it burned 2 quarts of oil, which is the most it has ever burned. I'm also concerned that the low oil pressure sensor warning did not come, since it was 2 quarts low on oil. Over the past 50,000 miles, about, the vehicle averaged burning about 1 to 1.5 quarts of oil. I believe there is something systemically wrong with this vehicles Ecotec 2.4L engine that is causes it to burn oil.

Took 2015 Equinox into Dealership due to call stalling - not dying. I made an appointment for a few days later. They gave a "fix", and said if it starts doing this again to bring it back in as this was their first guess at what it was. A couple months later it started stalling again. It was a Saturday, this time the stalling happened once and then died. I had it towed to the dealership and they said I had ran the car without oil. I had religiously had the oil changed and had never had low oil when I brought it in even for any oil change. The dealership quoted me $9,200 this time to "fix" it - by replacing the engine. The car has less than 90,000 miles on it.

You must be aware of the problems that the 2.4 ECO-TEC engine has in relation to oil consumption and clogged PCV valve in cold weather. When the valve freezes it results in oil loss and engine failure which puts the driver and passengers in a very dangerous situation. I had to rebuild my motor for $3100 and I had to replace the valve 4 different times. Its all about the money and how much GM would have to pay to make this problem right. Instead the NHTSA turns a blind eye to the dangerous problem and instead investigates on why some wiper blades don't work. Do some real investigation by first Equinox oil consumption problems and read some real accounts of owners being put in dangerous situations.

Timing chain components went out, causing massive engine failure.

On May 6, 2022 I was driving my 9 yr old daughter home from school during a severe rainstorm and my wind shield wipers just stopped working. Absolutely no movement from them. I got out in this storm on the side of the highway to try to fix them and they would not move. I was 30 minutes from my home and my weather app stated the storm would not stop for hours so I had to drive home with no wipers. I am a single mother of 2 kids with absolutely no help and this is my only vehicle. I've been caught in the rain multiple times in this car since May and I've never shaken in fear like I have when I have to figure out how to get this car home in the rain. I have to check the weather multiple times a day if I need to go anywhere to make sure I don't get caught in a storm. I've canceled multiple doctor appointments because it was storming during the time of the appointment. I had to cancel a trip I planned on taking my kids on because I could not afford to rent a car and I am too afraid to drive my car very far from home.It's summer and my kids are out of school and I can't take them anywhere far because I am too afraid to drive this car because it rains a lot here in the summer. There are no warning lights, nothing else happening...it sounds like the motor works but nothing happens when I turn them. Believe me, I try every time I get in. I took the car to a dealership(Moses in Huntington, WV - Trish Marnix the service manager tried to help) to see if they could see if it was a quick fix however it was not.

I was on my way to work and it was raining, my wipers just stopped working approximately a month ago, I had to pull over due to unsafe lack of visibility. A couple weeks later I rec'd a recall notice in the mail related to the wiper issue. I followed the directive of the representative when I called them to see how to proceed with the repair. The representative indicated I needed to take the vehicle to my nearest certified GM repair location so I took half a vacation day on the 12th of May to do so. They had the parts to repair the wipers but since the Recall Info indicated "No Remedy" yet on the GM Website, they were going to charge me $350 to do the repair. I of course do not have that kind of money and they also charged me for just taking a look at the wipers, $52.50 on top of losing half a day's vacation and my time. Since then it has rained nearly every day and I drive 25 minutes to and from work daily. Very unsafe.

PCV valve froze forcing pressure to blow the rear main seal while driving. Oil went everywhere yet no engine warning light ever came on, just a strong odor. I did not realize what had happened until I parked and found a puddle of oil trailing me. Fortunately I got it to a mechanic in time before the engine locked. However, GM has posted service bulletins and acknowledges this defect yet has not issued a recall. In terms of safety this could cause you to be stranded in an unsafe location or unsafe conditions such as below freezing temps with no heat while waiting for a tow truck assuming you have cell reception to call one.

Windshield wipers quit working due to ice when parked. Bushing came off of ball fitting on wiper transmission. I replaced bushing and it quit again. I put it back on and it came off again The second failure occurred while driving. I had to operate by hand to remove dirt splatter on windshield.

The HVAC actuator broke off preventing air flow from defrosting the windshield while I was driving through a snow storm.
