I purchased the 2017 Chevy Equinox in Aug of 2020. No problems initially, Then I noticed my oil usage was increasing. I didn’t notice any drips on the pavement, but I began adding oil in between oil changes. Still couldn’t figure out what the problem was until my son had a look underneath the car and noticed the exhaust was leaking oil. Ding, Ding, Ding…now we definitely know there is a problem. After researching, I find there is litigation in Florida concerning excessive oil consumption. I contacted GM, Chevy and the dealership where the car was purchased and wouldn’t you know NO ONE knows ANYTHING about this issue!! It had been a known problem since 2019 and yet I am suppose to cough up the money for “diagnosis” and repair.
Chevy should be responsible, but they are going to keep their mouths shut until these cars have all hit the graveyard. I’m 73 years old and I’m concerned that I will be out on the road when this thing dies or catches on fire. This was suppose to be my last vehicle…and by the way, I am still making payments on it! Catch me on the flip side because now there are more problems with it.
