Electrical system, ignitionJul 5, 2016
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Buick Verano and 2016 Chevrolet Malibu as the electronic park lock lever may allow the ignition key to be removed without the transmission being in PARK. Also, certain 2013 Buick Encore, 2011 Buick Regal, 2013-2014 Buick Verano, 2011-2016 Chevrolet Cruze, 2010-2013 Chevrolet Equinox 2013-2015 Chevrolet Malibu, and 2011-2013 GMC Terrain vehicles may have been serviced with similar defective replacement electronic park lock levers. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention."
If the key is removed without the transmission in PARK, the vehicle may rollaway as occupants are exiting, increasing the risk of injury.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and if necessary replace the key cylinder lock housing, free of charge. The recall began on October 14, 2016. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, Buick 1-800-521-7300, and GMC 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 50490 and 50491.

MY CAR IS CONSUMING HUGE AMOUNTS OF OIL BEFORE IT IS TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE. I AM PUTTING OIL IN THIS CAR AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. I LET CHEVY KNOW OF THIS ISSUE BUT THEY SAID THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I ONLY DRIVE TO SCHOOL AND WORK WHICH IS ONLY A 15 MILE ROUND TRIP. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!
Electrical system, Engine, Apr 7, 2019
EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WITH LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON THIS OIL CHANGE I HEARD TICKING NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD SO I CHECKED THE OIL TO FIND THAT THERE WAS NONE ON THE DIP STICK, I ADDED 3.5 QUARTS. WHATS SO BOTHER SOME FOR ME IS THAT THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THESE SUV'S FOR THAT VARY PROBLEM BUT IT EXPIRES AT 120000 MILES OR 7.5 YEARS WHICH EVER COMES FIRST ALL OTHER RECALLS ARE 120000 MILES OR 10 YEARS EXCEPT THIS ONE, WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS ON A LONG TRIP WITH THE FAMILY RAN COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL , CAR DIES ON EXPRESSWAY WITHOUT ANY WARNING THEN WHAT.I DID TAKE IT TO THE DEALER & SERVICE WAS THE ONE THAT TOLD ME ABOUT THE 7.5 YEARS. THIS CAR HAD A COMPREHENSIVE CARFAX REPORT WITH DEALER MAINTENANCE BEING DONE SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. NO MENTION OF THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION . THAT WAS THE REASON THAT I PURCHASED IT
Engine, Apr 2, 2019
ON MARCH 24 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME AND THE VEHICLE DIED SEVERAL TIMES AND I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC. HE CALLED THE NEXT DAY AND SAID THE OIL WAS COMPLETELY GONE AND THE ENGINE WAS RUINED. I HAVE CHANGED THE OIL EVERY 3-4000 MILES RELIGIOUSLY AND NOW THIS? I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $6000 TO REPLACE THE MOTOR.

MY 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX WAS NOT PICKING UP SPEED, AND WOULD SHUT OFF WHEN I STOPPED FOR MORE THAN 30 SECONDS. THE ENGINE ALSO SOUNDED VERY LOUD WHEN IN PARK. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MY CAR HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP TWO MONTHS PRIOR FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. MY CAR CURRENTLY HAS 102,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT METAL SHAVINGS WERE ALSO FOUND IN MY OIL. I TRIED DRIVING MY CAR AFTER THE DIAGNOSTIC AND THE "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" INDICATOR CAME ON, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY AND BE TOWED. I CONTACTED GM REGARDING A RECALL AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTICULAR MODEL OF MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND SINCE MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I HAVE READ REPORTS OF MY 2011 EQUINOX OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES.

MY VEHICLE HAS 63,000 MILES AND WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDDLE AND GET NO RESPONSE AT ALL. THIS MOSTLY HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED OTHER TIMES AS WELL. I WAS TOLD TO CHANGE THE INTAKE AND EXHAUST CAMSHAFTS SOLENOIDS, BUT THIS DID NOT HELP. I CHANGED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD, STILL DID NOT HELP.

OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE, CAR USES SO MUCH OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES AND DOESN'T ALERT YOU WHEN IT'S LOW.
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Mar 22, 2019
EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION, ENGINE MAKES NOISE, NEED TO CHANGE OIL EVERY 2000 MILES, NEED TO CHECK OIL LEVEL EVERY WEEK. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

MY VEHICLE RANDOMLY DIES WHILE DRIVING. AT 94500 CK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD ONE SOLENOID REPLACED AND CHANGED THE OIL. A WEEK LATER THE ENGINE STALLED A FEW TIMES IN A PARKING LOT. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. REPLACED A 2ND SOLENOID. 3/5/19, A WEEK LITTLE OVER A WEEK IT STALLED 5 TIMES IN A PARKING LOT. PD AGAIN TO HAVE MECHANIC SCAN IT NOTHING SHOWED UP. 3/7/19 CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS. 3/9/19 DROVE TO MILWAUKEE. GOT THERE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON,STABIL TREK LIGHT & ENGINE POWER REDUCED NOTIFICATION. AN HOUR LATER SEEMED FINE. ON THE WAY HOME ALL THE SAME LIGHTS CAME ON IN ROLLING TRAFFIC HAD TO PULL OFF BC IT DIED A COUPLE OF TIMES. LET IT SIT A BIT THEN STARTED HOME AGAIN. AFTER ABOUT 5 MILES GOING 60MPH ON THE INTERSTATE IN A SNOW/RAIN STORM THE VEHICLE DIED, WHILE DRIVING IT. I BARELY GOT IT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE. A STATE TROOPER HAD TO SIT BEHIND FOR SAFETY. BC OF THE STORM THE TOW TRUCK WAS 90 MINUTES OUT. THIS WAS A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT & KILLED.HAULED TO A MECHANIC 50 MILES AWAY. CODE READER (ATTACHED) SHOWED 5 ERRORS BUT COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED GM DEALERSHIP. THE MECHANIC COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE SO DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IT WRONG. HAD THE TIMING CHAIN REPLACED BUT MECHANIC DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS THE ISSUE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT COULD RANDOMLY DIE AGAIN IN HEAVIER TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE AND TO ME IS LIFE THREATENING. THERE ARE SO SO MANY PEOPLE COMMENTING ONLINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE PEOPLE DO DIE IF IT HASN'T HAPPENED ALREADY. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS VEHICLE 5 MONTHS AND HAVE HAD IT TO THE MECHANIC AT LEAST 5 TIMES. I DON'T WANT TO UNLOAD THIS DEATH TRAP ON SOMEONE ELSE BUT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF LOSING MY LIFE OR SOMEONE ELSE'S.
Engine, Mar 9, 2019
I HAVE EXPERIENCED OVER EXCESSIVE USE OF OIL, ON BOTH STREET AND HIGHWAY DRIVING, WHILE IN MOTION, MY CAR STARTED TO CHOKE ITSELF OUT WHEN I WOULD STOP AT A STOP SIGN/LIGHT. OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS OF OWNING THIS CHEVY 2011 EQUINOX, I HAVE HAD EXCESSIVE OIL USAGE. THE OIL USAGE WAS SO EXTENSIVE THAT I WAS HAVING TO PUT A QUART OF OIL EVERY 500 MILES OR LESS.......ALL OF THIS EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING HAS TO EXHAUST SOMEWHERE, I REACHED OUT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP AND ASKED THEM TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD FIND OUT FOR ME, AND THEY RETURNED WITH A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST PAPER TO FILL OUT. I HAD BEEN DOING THIS OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WHEN MY EXHAUST STARTED TO CLOG CAUSING MY REAR ENGINE SEAL TO BLOW, AND LEAK EVERY BIT OF OIL OUT OF MY MOTOR, ALL OF THIS RESULTED FROM THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION OVER THE PAST YEARS, CAUSING MY CADILLAC CONVERTER TO BECOME CLOGGED, THEREFORE, CAUSING THE PRESSURE OF THE EMISSIONS, THAT WAS NOT ABLE TO BE EXHAUSTED OUT, TO CAUSE MY REAR ENGINE SEAL TO BLOW. MY VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO A SHOP. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE OCCURED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION UNTIL MY REAR ENGINE SEAL BUSTED, CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO BE UNMOVABLE WITHOUT ASSISTANCE FROM A TOW TRUCK.
Engine, Feb 25, 2019
I GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND I WENT TO GET IT TESTED AND IT SAYS THAT IT IS A EXHAUST POSITION TIMING ISSUE. NO MECHANIC CAN FIX IT BECAUSE IT WAS A DESIGN ISSUE BY THE MANUFACTURER. I NOTICED THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN JERKING AROUND WHEN I DRIVE, IT WON'T BACK UP AND IT BACKFIRES AND I'M TERRIFIED OF DRIVING IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BALISE CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (LOCATED AT 440 HALL OF FAME AVE, SPRINGFIELD, MA 01105, (413) 233-4668) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A LOSS OF ENGINE OIL AND A STRETCHED TIMING CHANGE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A PROTOCOL TO HAVE THE ENGINE OIL CHECKED EVERY 1,000 MILES TO SEE IF THERE WAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE OIL CONSUMPTION WAS IN THE MANUFACTURER'S PERIMETER FOR OIL USAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE OF 120,000 MILES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING AND OIL RUNS OUT WELL BEFORE RECOMMEND OIL CHANGE AND NO LOW OIL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. CAR BURNS A LOT OF OIL AND MAKES A LOUD NOISE FROM ENGINE BUT TOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR THIS BRAND.

THE CAR HAS BEGAN USING RIDICULOUS AMOUNTS OF OIL, I HAVE TO PUT A QUART OF OIL IN EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS, THE OTHER ISSUE IS THE TRANSMISSION HAS STARTED HAVING ISSUES IT LITERALLY JUST PASSED THE 100K MILEAGE MARK AND THIS STARTED, AS IF IT WAS TIMED BY THE WARRANTY, I SEE TONS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS ISSUE

ON 2.2.2019 AROUND 11AM I LEFT WORK RESTORATION HARDWARE OUTLET 301 W MAIN ST, CHRISTIANA, DE 19702 AND DROVE ACROSS THE STREET TO GET LUNCH AT ACME 1 UNIVERSITY PLAZA, NEWARK, DE 19702. IT WAS 28* OUT AND WE HAD A FEW DAYS OF BELOW 32*. AS I WAS LEAVING THE ACME PARKING LOT ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE DASH. I IMMEDIATLEY STOPPED AND SHUT OFF CAR. ACROSS THE STREET WAS AN EXXON STATION ON 300 CHAPMAN RD, NEWARK, DE 19713. THE SERVICE PERSON SAID I WAS LEAKING OIL. HE PUT IN A QUART THEN ANOTHER IT CAME RIGHT BACK OUT AND SAID IT COULD BE A REAR MAIN SEAL. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT 'THAT STATED---- PLUGGED PCV ORIFICE IN INTAKE MANIFOLD FOR THE 2010-2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX EQUIPPED WITH 2.4L ECOTEC ENGINE (LAF, LEA OR LUK) 2.4L ENGINE (LAF, LEA OR LUK) THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION MAY ALSO EXPERIENCE A FROZEN AND/OR PLUGGED PCV (POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION) SYSTEM DURING COLD WEATHER OPERATION. THIS CONDITION MAY INCREASE CRANKCASE PRESSURE LEADING TO A REAR CRANKSHAFT SEAL OIL LEAK. I KNOW THAT GM NEEDED TO LOOK AT THIS SO I HAD IT TOWED TO DIVER CHEVROLET 2101 PENNSYLVANIA AVE, WILMINGTON, DE 19806 (302) 482-8359. ALMOST A WEEK LATER THEY CALLED AND SAID THE REAR MAIN SEAL BLEW OUT AND THATS WHAT WAS STATED ON THE SERVICE ORDER. I ASKED ABOUT THE MARCH 2015 BULLETIN NO.: 14882 . THEY SAID MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THAT GROUP AND IT WOULD BE $3200 TO FIX. I ASKED HOW CAN THIS BE WHEN IT CLEARLY IS THE SAME ISSUE STATED IN THE BULLETIN EXACTLY. COLD TEMPS, FROZEN PVC, BLOWN REAR MAIN. I WAS EVEN TOLD A FEW CAR WERE IN DURING THAT COLD SNAP WITH SAME ISSUE, BUT THOSE CAR HAD EXT WARRANTY OR WERE PART OF THE GROUP VIN . SO NOW IM HERE TRYING TO GET HELP FROM YOU. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THEY WONT ACKNOWLEDGE IT. IM A SINGLE MOM WITH 2 KIDS AND I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO.

THIS SPECIAL COVERAGE, BULLETIN #14882 IS EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MY VEHICLE AND I AM UNDER THE 10-YEAR, 120K TIME FRAME. YET APPARENTLY MY VIN DOESN'T MATCH UP SO I DON'T GET COVERAGE. HTTPS://GM.OEMDTC.COM/1899/SPECIAL-COVERAGE-ADJUSTMENT-PLUGGED-PCV-ORIFICE-IN-INTAKE-MANIFOLD-2010-2014-BUICK-CHEVROLET-GMC I WAS SOLD THIS VEHICLE IN AUGUST OF 2016. I COMPLAINED ABOUT EXCESSIVE OIL USE VIA EMAIL AND MY COMPLAINT WAS NEVER ADDRESSED. BULLETIN 12585C WAS RELEASED BETWEEN JANUARY AND MARCH OF 2016, SO JEFF BELZER CHEVROLET OF LAKEVILLE, MN SOLD ME THIS VEHICLE WITH THE PISTON ISSUE INSTEAD OF COVERING THEM. NOW THAT I'VE LEARNED ABOUT SPECIAL COVERAGES, I AM OUTSIDE OF THE TIME FRAME FOR COVERAGE AND I FEEL SLIGHTED AND CHEATED. THIS IS A FAULTY DESIGN AND INSTEAD OF CHEVROLET HOLDING A SEMI-DECENT STANDARD, I AM LEFT WITH THE BILL.
