When I pulled in the drive and checked the oil, it was pouring out of the car. I went and got three quarts of oil, put in the car, ran fine to get me home. My wife had just gotten an oil change a month earlier. So I immediately pulled over and shut the car down. Half way home which was 3-4 miles, the car started the same with me but a light came on showing low oil pressure. I went back to the store a couple of days later hopping the vehicle would run better. Half way there the engine started to shake, rattle and I told her to park and leave at the store for a few days for temp to warm up. We bought this car two 2 years ago from original owner. In my case I'm picking up my car, stowing it and finding a lawyer.
2012 CHEVY EQUINOX ENGINE PROBLEMS DRIVERS
This should be a very easy fix for GM it make to in sure the safety of drivers during freezing conditions and to prevent the very expensive cost for the consumer to bare.
In my case if I was driving on I-435 instead of Holmes road my life would have been put in danger.
This condition only will occurs during below freezing conditions potentially making it a very dangerous condition. There is a lot of complaints on your website. There are a lot of people out there facing and complaining about this. It seems the cars that are manufactured in Mexico are part of this bulletin but the cars manufactured in Canada are not. However GM says my VIN # isn't part up the 14882 bulletin. My car has 110501 miles and the end service date 6/2012 and should be covered. GM has a service bulletin 14882 which covers this condition if the car is under 120000 miles/10 years from in service date.
2012 CHEVY EQUINOX ENGINE PROBLEMS CRACK
The problem is a rear main seal that is blown due to the PCV value getting clogged with water and freezing causing high crack case pressure, blowing the rear seal. I towed it to Hendrick Chevrolet where all the oil changes and all previous work have been done. Again, still no warning lights or bells went off. I was able to pull off to the side of the road and notice a lot of oil coming from my car. I went a short 1.5 miles to my appointment and my car died. I pulled into a Quick Trip and put some heat in thinking this was a gas line freeze up. On February 9th 2021 at 5:00pm when it was 6 degrees with snow covered road outside, I was driving to an appointment about 10 miles away when my car started to act up. Thank you for listening and hopefully this class action can go forth and bring forth great results. This is my 92-year-old grandmother's vehicle who has no money for this repair so I'm asking GM to either repair it as a tax write-off or start a senior citizen program at the GM dealerships on behalf of the unfortunate. I believe it has ruined my entire engine along with finding out information that this car consumes tons of oil that they never told the consumer to make sure that they keep up with all oil changes which I have a record of.
No one wants to cover it - I even had an extended warranty from Endurance and they refuse to cover it, making a mention that the PCV valve was the issue that caused the problem and since they do not cover the PCV valve they will not cover the blown rear end seal problem so this is why my complaint to GM is that they should fix all of this for free. They say it freezes up and causes the rear end main seal to blow out which was done to this 2012 Equinox with less than $75,000 miles. By pursuing an individual claim, you may receive a bigger remedy from an automaker than if you pursue a class action case.Yes, after thoroughly researching the 2012 Chevy Equinox, I have seen that the rear end main seal problem is a major one that needs a recall along with the PCV valve in the cold climate temperature in places like Rochester New York. Additionally, the number considered “reasonable” is determined on a case-by-case basis.Ĭalifornia residents with defective vehicles can get cash compensation, a vehicle replacement or a lemon law buyback from their auto manufacturers.
Couple that with an authorized dealership or repair facility who cannot fix the recurring problems with a reasonable number of attempts within the warranty period. The California Lemon Law states that your vehicle is considered defective if there is a defect that affects the vehicle’s use, safety or value. If you reside in California, bought or leased your vehicle from a licensed California dealership with a manufacturer-backed warranty, and your vehicle experienced recurring problems, you may be able to pursue a California lemon law claim for your 2017 Chevy Equinox 2.4 L engine problems.
