![]() ![]() But the also said that I needed to replace my timing chain, which would be about $2000 dollars and they said that my car may be burning oil and if that's the case then I would need to replace timing chain and pistons and the price would be double. I took my car to the dealership yesterday and they said my car was low on oil, so I told them that it was due for an oil change and they did. Then a few days ago the engine light came on, but then went off after I filled up my gas tank. I would have to put it in neutral most times to keep it from jerking so hard. About 3 weeks ago, it frequently began to jerk and almost stall out when in drive and at a stop. My 2012 Equinox has about 122,000 miles on it. ![]() I'm not sure why that investigation was not good enough for the settlement to go through but regardless these vehicles are so unsafe and money pits and are still being sold to innocent people who have no idea what they are getting themselves into. ![]() They did cover the timing chain but once the engine needed to be replaced we no longer had the warranty. The first time it broke down I had a power train warranty on the vehicle and they did an investigation to make sure it was due to a lack of oil changes and build up of dirty oil, it was proved that the oil escaped through the bent piston rings and burnt off instead of going back into the engine. I was constantly checking my oil, getting it changed, adding the right oil when it was low and because I did not do the oil consumption test through gm we are out almost 10 thousand dollars on a car that still had issues due to the lack of oil. We filed our claim when the class action lawsuit came out and of course we're denied, just like the thousands of other people due to there being �lack of proof� that it was due to lack of oil. We also have had to replace the evap system due lack of oxygen and the car constantly chocking out while in motion and while ideling. The engine was then replaced as well as the ecm board due to oil being all over it completely ruining the sensors. We took it back to the shop and it was decided there was extensive damage done to the engine based on the previous oil consumption issue. All of that was repaired and maybe 6 months later the check engine light was back on. It was towed to a local repair shop where it was determined that the timing chain broke due to lack of oil due to bent piston rings and the oil escaping. The car was in motion when the reduced engine power sensor came on and shut down. I have reached out to the dealer whom sold me the vehicle, recalls dept, etc and I'm not being provided with assistance. At this current time I am having "reduced energy" issues and I just received oil change and I'm being told I needed to add oil, but how when I just got a oil change. Lastly but not least the sensors and other things are being damaged in the process. The vehicle has a very high oil consumption and is bringing about more issues within the vehicle. Supposedly the dealer fixed the issue, not sure if that was true because it continued as time went on. The first signs of trouble started when the car would cut off in the middle of driving in busy traffic. I have had multiple issues with the vehicle in question every since I drove it off the lot. 4l because I owed one just like it but a deer totaled it at only 10 mph! it been nothing but issues since I purchased it drove it off the lot the check engine light comes on and then I go to get it checked and it states that I have a permanent catylic converter code that no one can fix except GMC! when I idle at a stop for longer than 1 min it starts stuttering and jerking like it’s gonna die! so I clean my throttle body like the mechanic said I should do and I found this dark brown whitish sludge in my pvc tube that runs up into the air box which now my air box is full of this gunk! I have to put oil into this vehicle every 3 days cause it will be full then three days later it’s just a smidge above out on the dipstick! I am poor I can not afford huge repairs or replacement of yet another vehicle ?! GMC needs held accountable since they seem to know about this and it’s not recalled they need to do better in taking care of us poor customers who just want a reliable vehicle!! so very upset yet again!!!.
