![]() Turns out my timing chain is bad (1,614 repair). Car does all the symptoms again along with loud engine noise. They diagnosed my car with their computer, none of my sensors are bad. First visit was a $33 part that cost me $400 worth of labor. I make it to my moms, which is very close to mcdonald. After 20 minutes I get it to start, but I have no rpms and it feels like the electrical system in my car is not running properly. Will not start, had to push it to a parking spot. ![]() Stalls out while in mcdonald drive thru with my kids. Car stalls out 3 times while driving out of a parking lot. Next day my car starts fine and like nothing is wrong. No messages just a engine light with the same codes. I finally get it to come out of this somehow and make my long commute home, but I can tell the power in my car is lacking. Car get stuck turning over and went to limp mode. Then finally one day I go to leave work and my stabilitrak message pops up and takes many times to start. My vehicle almost stalled out while in a drive thru one day. Within the next couple months I realize my vehicle idles on the lower side. The code was for a position actuator sensor ( timing variable solenoid). These vehicles are faulty, unreliable and unsafe there needs to be a recall. At this point the engine is damaged and I do not have the truck in my possession. I also saw on line a class action suit that was one by the consumers for engine issues in regards to chevy Equinox model 2010-2013 vehicles. I was told by customer service that they have had issues with chevy Equinox engines burning oil and damaging engines. Gm suggested that I allow them to tow it to the dealership, so they sent a tow truck and delivered it to serpentini Chevrolet the same day. , JI took it to my auto mechanic and he suggested I call gm because the car has been known to have issues like that and I should be able to get assistance with the repair, it only has 74,000 miles and I had only had it 1y and 3 m. Once there, I asked about the noise and they said everything was okay, they changed the oil, said nothing of the engine light and sent me on my way. I went to the store got some, put a couple of quarts in, the next day I called the dealership for an appointment. I checked the oil and there was none in the engine, there were no leakes observed, I could not figure out how all of the oil disappeared, there was no oil in the drive way at all. On June 24,2020, it was running rough and I noticed the check engine light on. My 2012 Equinox stopped running, it was making noise as I drove it and once I stopped and cut it off it never started again. I would like info on how to access the special warranty to pay for these repairs. I relied heavily on this screen, always checking it to see if I needed oil. I can detail regular oil changes and never had an oil light come on but I see where other people describe how the screen that gives the oil % is not really monitoring the cars actual oil use. It sounds exactly like the problem w/my car. I started to do some research and I found the lawsuits about the piston issues and oil consumption. The first diagnosis they gave me was a time chain issue ($1800) then they called me a day later and said pistons/piston seals were also an issue and now it would be ($2500). After a few minutes I was able to get it started again and made it the maybe 1000 feet to the dealer. ![]() ![]() On the way there the car stalled at a busy stop light. � the next time I drove it was to take it to the dealership for a diagnosis. The almost immediately a message that said �reduced engine power. After the oil change, it seemed to drive smooth for one day then the check engine came on again. The next day I took it for an oil change. At the end of the trip the check engine light came on. Towards the end of the trip the car began to idle very rough and the engine sounded louder than normal. ![]()
