Chevrolet equinox 2011 uses excessive amounts of oil. I have to add oil between oil changes. I keep extra oil on hand always. The car makes rattling noise at start up and just doesn't sound good when running. It runs sluggishly. I wasn't aware of the problem. I only had to add oil between changes to my previous car when it was leaking on the ground. I went to have oil changed and there was none on the dipstick. I…

The car doors will not stay locked. After locking the car over night with the key fob i will go outside and find my car unlocked. Unsure if this affects the child safety lock feature on the rear doors. The car is stationary sitting in my driveway. This issues has been happening for some time now. My car was locked overnight and this morning i found it unlocked and someone had gone through it.

I bought my 2011 chevy equinox brand new, in 2011. 4/2015 i had a leak in my a/c line resulting in a $450 charge (my warranty had just expired). Now, 10 months later upon turning on my a/c for the first time this year, yet again my a/c is not working. In taking it to the dealership today, i'm now told that my compressor needs replacing with a price tag of $963. Upon online research, this seems to be a common problem…

Columbia, sc--i took the vehicle to the dealership to repair an ignition issue and told them that i was having a whining-type engine noise when i accelerated while the a/c was on, and that the a/c was starting to lose its cooling capacity. The technician informed me that my compressor was going out, but that it would probably last into the summer, but by the end of april i had to have it replaced, to the tune of…

It seems like i put more oil in then fuel. Then she was coming home from work one day and the tranny…

I have had many problems with my 2011 chevy equinox that started occurring about a year after i purchased it. The main concerns are the engine noise and how rough it runs, feeling as though i am being rear-ended in traffic (when moving forward from a complete stop it lurches forward, giving the feeling of being hit), rough start up (sounds like an old car at times) and the car stutters when accelerating (almost…

Not sure of the exact date or mileage vehicle messed up first time. We bought it on january 19, 2011, messed up within first few days of having it. It's happened twice, when vehicle is stopped, but in drive (ex. Red light), then pressing the gas pedal it will either not go at all, or barely go and then not go any further. Have to put the car in park, shut off, then turn car back on to make it work right. Taken it to…
