Engine is burning oil at an alarming rate. Every 1,000 miles there will be no oil on the dip stick. No warning light has came on stating my oil is low. I could have blown my engine multiple times if i didn't check my oil regularly. This is not safe. I bought this car from a dealership 5 months ago and have already had to get 3 oil changes bc of the excessive amount of oil loss plus have had to add oil in between.

The engine oil consumption is 5 to 6 quarts of oil in 3000 miles. This often results in violent vehicle jerking, as well as stability and power reduction, resulting in the engine power to be reduced causing potential collisions in traffic. This can occur and has occurred both when stopping and while in motion.

When driving to work today, i was in the middle of parking my car. The car cut off before i could completely park. It started right back up then cut back off. I took my chances and drove it to the nearest dealership. Every time i came to a complete stop the car would cut off i.e red lights, stop signs, heavy traffic. Which became extremely dangerous. I dropped my car off at the dealership and i noticed that there…

The infotainment radio system failed. This controls not only the radio but the backup camera and the hands free calling. Been googling and it appears to be a common problem that is not being resolved. I called gm and they put me with gm infotainment team and they acknowledged that there is a problem but it is not a recall item at this time. Nothing is being done and the repairs are $1200.00

The dealership i purchased it from told me around 40000 miles that sometimes 'you just get a bad apple.' they replaced my motor under warranty about 20,000 miles ago with a brand new motor and now my car is doing the exact same thing. I contacted customer care at chevrolet and they told me to take it to the closest…

There is a tsb 15285c which covers the 4 cylinder for oil consumption. Nine is the v6 3.6. This goes through 1 quart every 350 miles. I've been to 2 dealers and was told mine is not covered. I cannot afford this repair. What can be done? I bought used from spitzer chevy in north canton ohio. I think that they knew of this and i asked if there were any problems and was told that there were none.

At about 95,000 miles the 2013 chevy equinox's engine started stalling when slowing down to stop or while idling in drive/reverse. Thinking it was an issue with the gas, the gas was ran out of the vehicle and new gas was put it; this did not correct the issue. Car is able to idle without stalling if in park or neutral.

My engine cut off twice while driving in a high traffic area. This is extremely scary and certainly should not be happening to a car with less than 50k miles on it. I bought the truck to have piece of mind only to find out this is a common complaint with this model. It needs to be recalled.
