- Wichita, KS, USA

Preparing to park into a parking space in an off street parking lot the vehicle forcefully and rapidly accelerated on its' own and crashed into a fence. I was not accelerating. I attempted to stop the car using the brakes but they did not engage quickly enough to stop the rapid, forceful, and without warning acceleration. Buick has been contacted about the defect. Buick ran extensive diagnostics on the car and denies there is a defect. Police came to the scene and advised that given the 2 other incidents that I have experienced, the car is unsafe to drive given potential damage to others. A police report was filed.

When pulling into parking space the car rapidly accelerated on its' own and crashed into the car in the next parking space. I did not have my foot on the gas, the car was simply idling. The acceleration was so rapid that applying the brake was useless.

I was parking in marked space. I had turned into space, my foot was off the gas pedal. The car was 3/4 into the space when it malfunctioned and rapidly accelerated into a hardened snow bank. i instantly braked but there was not enough space to avoid collision.

While the vehicle was driving, there was a loss of power, at that moment sparks was seen emanating from under the hood, then the vehicle completely stopped running. Once pulled over smoke was bellowing out from the hood and subsequently ignited into flames. Fire department was dispatched and fire was extinguished. The vehicle was towed away and is still at the tow yard. The tow operator, based on visual inspection stated the fire did start in the engine compartment and spread to the fire wall, totaling the vehicle.

The oil consumption in the car is horrible, I have to atleat add oil in my car about 5 time in between oil changes, and my oil changes are done regularly, ive also have the issue of my oil and gas mixing, I did take it to the shop once and they fixed a recall that was involved with high pressure fuel pump, but im guessing they didnt fix the issue once that repair was done like they said it would.

Burning oil on a 2.4L equinox engine

Engine timing failure due to faulty chain tensioner at 81000 miles (2/15/2020) engine consumes excessive amounts of oil between changes

- Muncy, PA, USA

Vehicle has serious oil consumption issues. Will burn as much as 3 or more quarts in 1000 miles or less. Was notified by Chevrolet mechanic that some oil consumption was normal, but that if the consumption was excessive that I would have to pay up to $3500 or more to fix the car. There isn't a recall out on this make and model, but all cars equipped with this 2.4L ecotech engine had the same issues from the research I conducted. The mechanic I talked to said that this was a known issue due to a defect in the piston rings allowing oil to reach the combustion chamber. Sometimes even the fumes come into the car and they are pretty harsh to breathe in.

- Hoffman Estates, IL, USA

Vehicle dies in the middle of driving at all speeds and can't steer or brake only pray. Also, I turned vehicle off and won't restart tower to service center they said I need new engine!!!! I was just driving it no smoke no smell just won't start he said no oil in engine even though not scheduled for a oil change yet. Radio won't keep date or time or radio stations!

- Saucier, MS, USA

Driving my car at around 30mph, the car completely shuts off without warning. There is no shutter or sound. It is just suddenly completely turned off. No brakes. No power steering. No gas. You must pull the car over. Come to a complete stop. Put the car in park. Turn the key completely off, and then the car will restart almost every time. This has happened to me 5 times in the 9 years that I have owned it. But it has happened 3 times in the last 3 days. No mechanic nor the dealer can identify the problem. I have replaced the serpentine belt twice, and the throttle body/throttle position sensor.

Timing chain damaged engine

- Southfield, MI, USA

Upon bringing my car in for a P10011 code (the check engine light came on), the dealership stated that the timing chain on my car was stretched and needed to be replaced. It cost over $1900 to fix.

- Acworth, GA, USA

Called local dealership for a few recalls, they said they had to order the parts for recalls so when they got the parts they called and set me a time to get them fixed well when I got there they said that it only had 1 recall and they had to order the part that was already supposed to have been ordered to began with and they would call when they get the part in "still waiting on that call" the vehicle has 97000 miles and is also burning oil fast and smoking out the exhaust, they said it was out of warranty and there is no recall on the engine oil consumption on this vehicle because its VIN specific so the bill would be on me to have the engine tore down to see what is causing it to burn oil but I no it's because of premature wear of the piston rings after the research I have done on these engines so far but what ever the case they have yet to call me back and it's been almost 2 months now not sure what to do at this point.

- Rockwood, TN, USA

Timing chain loosened due to tensioner breaking due to the bolt holding it in place widening the hole it was in over time causing the car to jump time and possibly bending all the valves in the motor. Car was being driven on the highway when it stalled and shut off. We had just made a turn so luckily we were not going fast when this happened. No warning lights came on. No codes came up on the computer either when checked.
