2016 Chevrolet Equinox Owner Complaints

The 2016 Equinox draws complaints heavily from two areas: the engine and the windshield wiper system. On the engine side, owners most commonly describe excessive oil consumption, often noticing the oil level dropping significantly between changes with no low-oil warning light triggering. Some report this progressing to rear main seal leaks, PCV valve issues, stalling, and in some cases complete engine failure, again, frequently without any dashboard warning ahead of time. Loss of power steering is sometimes noted during stall events. The wiper system is the second most-reported area, with owners describing wipers that fail, perform erratically, or stop working entirely, particularly in winter conditions. A smaller number of owners report powertrain concerns, including transfer case and front differential failures, also sometimes occurring without prior warning lights.
