Hello everyone! I wanted to post this to see if anyone else has had (or is having) the same problem I am with their Terrain or Equinox.
I took delivery of my Terrain in December, after waiting about 8 weeks from the order order date (in case anyone was wondering). I love the vehicle, except I haven't been pleased with the fuel economy I was getting.
At about 1200 miles the engine started making a knocking noise under light throttle, but would go away after being warmed up. I took it in, and they replaced some Acutator Sensor and said the oil was about a quart or two low. They said that it may not have been prepped completely before delivery, which seemed a little odd, but I went with it.
Well, at about 2500 miles, the noise started happening again. I checked the oil myself, and the dipstick was bone dry. I took it to the dealership, and they put 3 quarts in last Monday. One week later (and less than 400 miles), I am once again about 2 quarts low...........
I do not see or smell anything from the exhaust except for some black "carbon-like" splattering on my garage floor where the exhaust pipe is.
Needless to say, I'm getting worried. They will be looking at it tomorrow, but I was hoping to see if anyone out there has any insight or experience with this.
Thanks in advance for your replies!
