As I posted 3+ mos. ago, we finally traded in the Equinox and took a little bit of a hit to get a 2013 Honda CR-V. So far it's been really nice.
 
Anyhow, I got an email a month and a half ago to review the customer service I had when taking in my 2010 Equinox. They haven't updated their records but I felt somewhat bad because I am sure I knwo exactly why someone brought it in for service.
 
Shame on GM and Chevrolet and all involved for making peoples lives miserable trying to get this resolved. I can only hope that none of you ever, ever buy a GM car again. I know I won't be.

why is this message crossed out? I know how you feel, when I started my odyssey, our first thought was to trade it too. But I knew I would be passing on a problem that needed to be resolved by the manufacturer. We took them to the mat, but holy crap - it was a horrendous ordeal and amount of energy expended. Nobody should ever have to go thru that, especially with a brand new vehicle. When my husband first spoke to GM about the issue, the woman he spoke to let on that she had not heard anything about the problems we were having. He told her it was all over the internet (this forum) and she said she didn't care about that. Wonder if she still has a job. She shouldn't.....

You might be able to reach someone via Twitter or through one of the other GM "social" sites.

Just received a letter from Chevrolet about a "customer satisfaction program". Instead of fixing the engine oil consumption problem, they will reprogram the ECU that recommend more frequent oil changes to support engine durability and overall operating costs.
What a joke, GM is implicitly admitting the wide spread problem and tries to cover it up by forcing more frequent oil changes.
What a joke.

Sueven - I just got the same letter on Friday, March 8th... and ironically it was dated Feb 1, 2013 and the offer to reprogram the ECU was only good until Feb 28, 2013. Thankfully my awesome dealer did the work when they put the new engine in.... Too bad the letter didn't give a return address as I would have sent the joker who signed the letter a response about the issues with this car....

smc8888, You are talking about two completely different things. The reprogram has to due with oil change frequencies suggested by the oil life monitor and has nothing to do with and is not intended to address the oil consumption problem some owners are experiencing.
