"code indicated bad cam shaft n crank shaft sensors which led to a rebult engine" Luckily, it was covered under extended warranty." "Had to have engine block replaced within 3 months of purchase. (2011 Chevrolet Equinox Unsure 2.4-L 4 Cyl) "Known issue w/rings where TSB was issue but we did not get it until the oil consumption got so bad that we took it in.CHEVROLET covered half the cost of new pistons due to TSB time limit" Lower half the engine head to be rebuilt extra parts had to be purchased my total cost was over $2000" "At 142,000 miles, the engine was burning over 2 quarts of oil between oil changes. "Kept burning oil for no reason then went to get it fixed and the dealer blew up the engine" When I asked GM to help with the expense they refused any support and did not care we were long time customers."
Our Equinox was over 5 years old and had 96000 miles when the timing chain and engine failed. Dealer performed oil consumption test and determined that the engine qualified to be rebuilt under extended warranty coverage." It needed new pistons, seals, and timing belt, and was nearly out of oil. "The engine had a loud knocking when accelerating, so I took it to the dealer for service. Upon inspection by a mechanic at the CHEVROLET dealer we bought it from, he said the rings had gone bad and that the engine needed to be replaced." The engine over-heated during an out-of-town trip, and upon checking the oil, we found that there was none. "The engine had to be replaced somewhere around 75,000 miles. The repaired engine will have a 12 month warranty." At the same time, the owner's son learned about a timing chain issue on the Equinox so that problem is being repaired at the same time at GM's expense. The car is in the shop now for an engine rebuild which will be done a GM's expense. The engine was tested for the problem and the Chevrolet dealer found that the car did have the problem mentioned in the the GM notice. The service writer recalled a GM notice about engines for Equinox having a problem with excess oil useage. "After having the car repaired for collision damage we were told that the engine had very little oil in the crankcase. "I was losing more than a quart of oil each 1000 miles." "replace piston and rings due to oil consumption, intake camshaft position solenoid failed as well" The car began to consume oil at high rates of speed. A friend of mine found out about it on the internet." "chevy did not tell me about the repairs available. We hate this car and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy." Mechanic said this was due to the engine being constantly low on oil, no matter how much we refill it, because it burns oil worse than any vehicle he has ever seen in his life. Timing chain came loose and tore up everything. My dealership approached GM about it and the payed for about half the cost, better than nothing" GM has an unpublished policy that if a equinox has high oil consumption, and it is reported before the 120K mile point they will fix it. The dealership ran consumption studies and found that the car was burning about 1 quart pre 2000 miles. This was not due to leaking, rather burning. dealer kept giving me run around, this is normal ! they replaced almost everything in engine. "engine was burning oil from new.2 to 4 quarts between oil changes. tested the oil and found huge abnormal amounts of numerous different metal particles in the oil" "We have had this car "fixed" three times.thank goodness it's still under warranty! Factory ordered oil test showed the engine noise was a result of heavy oil use and pistons were replaced as well as head gaskets" Next fuel in oil so new high pressure fuel pump Next fuel in oil again (two bad cylinders) so new head, valves, gaskets, etc" "High oil consumption (>4 quarts in 6200 miles), so new gaskets, tensioner, chain, pistons, rings, etc. Service folks confirmed that pistons, rings and cam shaft need to be replaced. "Engine oil low by 2 quarts each of the past three oil changes.
"pistons were machined to small so we were loosing oil. It was using about 1 quart of oil per 1500 miles"
"Failed Chevrolet's oil consumption test. "Pistons, rings, timing & balance chains and high pressure fuel pump all had to be replaced due to excessive oil consumption" Covered by extended manufacturers warranty" "Excessive oil consumption led to rebuild of entire engine. Latest is camshaft position solenoid failed" I have had no problems with engine since" GM rebuilt the engine under warranty without any problem and replaced almost everything but the cam shaft and engine block. "My vehicle developed the oil consumption problem resulting from defective engine parts. Dealer had to replace them twice before it was fixed correctly. "Piston rings resulting in oil consumption. "It was repaired under the service bulletin.
