The engines had issues, lots of them. The worst was using oil. One of my best friends is the lead mechanic in a Chevy dealership and he told me about the problems. GM would only pay for techs to re-ring them, in frame, what a PITA according to my friend. They would not replace the engines.
Not sure exactly if and when the corrected the issue but Deb and I had an early Equinox, one of the first or second years of production and it used a quart of oil every 2 weeks once it had about 30,000 miles on it. We dumped it vs having it re-ringed.......Cliff
