In the shop still and techs say no lights or warnings are coming on still when they turn the car on. Any notification that pops up, we check and fix immediately. Now we are stuck paying over $6k to replace the entire block when there was no notification that any maintenance was needed. Is driven daily and had no alerts or issues. Has been maintained and just had an oil change. Nothing about oil, no check engine, no warnings of any issues. NOT ONE ALERT SHOWED OR IS NOW SHOWING ON DASH OR DISPLAY. Had to be towed to be checked and was told engine was flooded along with other issues from driving that short distance the way it was. Turned around and went home, car was dying and would not start after. About 200 feet down the street smelled burning oil. Pulled out of driveway and got sudden smell of oil. Checked tail pipe and it was clear and blowing out exhaust. Knowing the engines will blow a rod do to the oil issue.Įntered vehicle and smelled exhaust inside. ![]() When Chevrolet has none about this issue and refuses to fix. Someone or something needs to be done.Not fair to have to pay over $15000 and still making payments on a lawn ornament. Hard to believe a regular maintain vehicle would just die the way it did. This is a Manufacture defect and could have been alot worse if I was going any faster or been out in the dark stranded somewhere. Have looked into repair cost about 7 to 8 thousand that I cam not afford and still Makin car payments. Due to not being dependent on getting to work. Replaced starter, camshaft and crankshaft sensor, new pcm, valve cover. Waited about 15 min about 10 feet car went into.Limp mode got it home. Screen went out and engine reduced power light came on and died. Parked car for another week or so Drove 2 miles down road to store. Traction stability light had came on never went off. Put new battery in drove to work for about 2 days still.had issues. Car was parked until I could get a new battery approx 1 week. Have had issues with starting since picked up had to carry jump start box in car. Took to chevy dealer on Nov 3rd for windshield wiper motor replacement. Have a 2 sets of tires put on.Have had some hesitation problems throughout while.driving. Oil changes done every 3 to 7 thousand miles. In June 2019 replaced front tire that were new due to passenger tire wear also New battery and oil change.Jan 2020 had to have front main seal oil ring replaced. Purchased vehicle certified pre owned May 2019 with 56,000 miles. I've been reading that once it gets cold outside (which it is already getting down to 32F at night), it's likely that the seals are going to break again and cause the engine to fail. I'm worried it's putting me in danger (and anyone else on the road). Now, I'm having to put oil in my car constantly in order to drive it. If TONS of other people are having the same issue(s) (over 1000 complaints), then why are consumers not being reimbursed? It looks like there are only lawsuits for this out there that are being handled at the consumer-level (which I cannot afford an attorney for this either). ![]() I can't afford a new car or a fix on the current car since the issue is massive and requires a new engine. I know that my car falls under this as well, but has not received any warranty or any recalls yet. The car is only 5-6 years old and only has 100,000 miles on it! I'm seeing the same make/model have recalls and several issues with the engine seals and the excessive engine oil consumption. Considering the repair earlier this year, the car has cost me more than it's worth by far. The KBB value of the car is just under $10,000. They quoted the repair at $11,000 (which I have found quotes that are lower since, but not by much). I brought it in a few days ago (10/18/22) and the mechanics said that I had a "bad" engine and that the car's issue was excessive oil consumption. ![]() Now, the car has 100,000 miles on it and the engine light came on again. I had a minor incident where the windshield wiper flew off in the middle of the street and have seen a few complaints about that, so thought it was noteworthy enough to mention. I thought the issue was fixed, but I think it's related to the current issue I'm now having. Some previous background on my 2016 Chevy Equinox that I bought brand new: - I brought in my car about 6 months ago to get it repaired for an engine seal issue.
