2017 Chevrolet Equinox

  • Date of Incident: Dec-03, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Dec-26, 2024
  • Failed components: ENGINE

Vehicle stalled when driven or stopped at traffic light. Abnormal noises coming from engine. When engine oil was checked, no visible oil was available in the dipstick. Inserted dipstick a couple of times to ensure correct measurement. Extremely low oil left in vehicle. Vehicle seems to be burning oil. Diagnostic trouble codes read by obd2 tool were: p0011,p0191,p228d,p0089 and p0014. When investigating online, this is a common problem with the vehicle's engine. This seems to be a design flaw being ignored by the oem.
