I took advantage of their offer. There was a lot of paperwork required to prove I had followed proper oil-change mileage in the past, but the dealer did the work. Now at 140K w no oil consumption.

We took advantage of the recall. GM did require an inordinate amount of paperwork to prove we had done proper maintenance during the vehicle ownership. That said, the recall worked. We're now at 140,000 mi and have had no oil burning since the rebuild.

I replaced them a number of years ago at 100,000 and it was very easy, so I suggest you go ahead and do it.

We've got a 2011 w 139,000 miles on it with few problems (other than GM rebuilding the engine for oil burning earlier at no cost, but that problem should have been long gone by 2017). What does Dee want advice on?

I think there's a plug on the transmission you can remove, then stick your finger in to see if the fluid comes up to the level of the bottom of the plug hole. BUT I never was able to find it when I was crawling around under the car looking.

Lights on parts of various instrument (oil pressure gage, fuel, tach, speedometer) displays go out after a few minutes and don't come back on until the next time I drive the car. How are instruments lighted? Can problem be solved without replacing instrument cluster? Is it a hard job to...

ruley73, a submitter to the chevroletforum.com had the right idea. After trying again to remove the nuts by wedging the round bolt heads in place with no success, and having my wife move the lever up and down while I stuck my head and a flashlight on the floor looking at the track, I discovered...

It's a good vehicle It's a good vehicle and you'll enjoy it. I've got a 2011 with over 50,000 miles and have even driven it from Virginia to Alaska and back. Good gas mileage with the 4-cyl if you drive gently. Only serious problem I have is that the visibility, to front, sides and rear, is...

The mechanical passenger seat on our 2011 Equinox quit sliding back and forth. Looking underneath while moving the lever showed no problem. I tried to remove the six bolts holding the seat but found they had a round head (!) which turned when the nut was turned. Took the car to the friendly...
