I bought this 2016 Certified Used Chevy Equinox from Burtness. I just paid off the loan, got my oil change and went on vacation. I was driving home from O'Hare on I-94 and...boom!!! Lost most power and had to find the nearest place to barely get off the interstate. Looked at the manual, and it said it was just a safety issue. (I did smell some oil though.) So we drove it home slowly and in hazard mode. I had two kids in the car, and it was freezing out. Got it back to Burtness, and they said the engine is gone. The Rear Main Seal on the car blew, which they said is very common, and I read online happens all the time with Equinoxes. I did everything I was supposed to do on that car. Got all the required maintenance, etc., etc. I feel someone could've have told me about these issue at the dealership or wherever. I will never buy another Chevy. This is the 2nd Chevy engine I've had blown on me within a year....
