Chevrolet Equinox

Chevrolet was sued for oil consumption in a class action suit because their Equinox from 2010-2013 had a serious flaw. Our Equinox uses 10 quarts in 4000 miles. The suit was settled and it managed to screw us over because for a 2011 the deadline to fix was 7 yrs 6 months and we bought the vehicle at 7 years and 10 months. So we now are suppose to put $4000 into a vehicle that isn't even worth $5000 and we have owned for 14 months. Chevrolet will NOT stand behind their product and they knew for how many years that this was a major engine defect and had to be sued to do anything at all. Also the Home Run Auto Group sold a vehicle without fixing it knowing there was this problem. My opinion buy a Ford. Ford stands behind their products.

Apparently these engines are prone to having the timing chains come loose due to the plastic guides. They know this is a problem and they continued to sell them. It should be a recall. I can't even get a mechanic to work on it because they have so many of these that they are backed up. Horrible product, horrible engineering, horrible customer service.
