I was driving to my job and had parked my car. The only thing is my car was disqualified for having over 120k in mileage and I was told I should consider myself lucky it still works. The only thing is I was contacted 6 months ago, over 6 years of ownership saying they would recall and replace/repair this. I received contact about faulty parts that affect the rear main seal eventually damaging and blowing it out. The extension window that gm provided was narrow to say the least. The work has been completed, but I am now between a rock and a hard place with the vehicle. Via communication between myself and holiday automotive of fond du lac, gm has agreed to cover half of the costs, but in the end this is still very significant. This rebuild was scheduled and completed in December of 2020. The engine, without a doubt, was in need of a lower end rebuild. Holiday automotive of fond du lac, WI performed this test.
The vehicle was found to consume a significant amount of oil.
The initial oil change occurred in April 2020. Once, restrictions were lifted an oil consumption test was performed. This was, unfortunately, was around the time the extension was going to expire. Upon receiving the letter, I was in the process of making an appointment for the oil consumption issue, however, this was the same time the state of wisconsin shut down for covid reasons. Fast forward to late this past winter, I received a letter in the mail stating the sca (15285/16118 coverage) was extended for the 2013 model year 2. Prior to the lower end rebuild, I was adding nearly 8 quarts of oil every 3,000 miles. For some brief history on the vehicle, it began using a significant amount of oil around the 70,000-mile mark. I am following up to an ongoing issue regarding our 2013 chevy Equinox that recently had the lower end rebuilt due to excessive oil consumption. The approximate failure mileage was 66,000. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was over the warranty coverage period and referred the contact to NHTSA for assistance. The failure was diagnosed that the crank had no compression and that the engine needed to be disassembled to examine failure. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer. The check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that after the vehicle was driven close to the 2,000 miles as directed by the dealer, the vehicle experienced rattling and knocking then stalled. The dealer informed the contact that per the manufacturer's policy for the oil consumption test, the vehicle needed to be driven for 2,000 miles then the recall could be repaired. (655 bridgeport Ave, milford, CT 06460) for the recall repair. The contact had received an unknown manufacturer's recall notification for excessive oil consumption due to piston ring wear and took the vehicle to Chevrolet of milford, inc. Tl the contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Equinox.
