2014 Chevrolet Captiva Engine Problems

This car is a 2014 chevy captiva it has had multiple leaks that I have repaired on my own the engine gussles up gas like there's no tomorrow and then on hot days even though all liquids are filled will randomly have a check engine code and a reduced engine code amd service stabiltek system come on all at once. Now in this car I replaced the fuel pump, up and down 02 sensors the whole catalytic system front from to back and this issue still happens. Something is internally wrong with this car.and when the car decides to through these codes it makes a percolating sound like a pot of coffee is almost done brewing in the cabin of the car.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Captiva Sport. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle experienced a loss of power steering assist. The vehicle then lost motive power. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was coasted to the side of the road. Upon inspection, there was white smoke coming from the engine, and there was no engine oil on the dipstick. The contact added oil to the engine. The contact stated that the vehicle previously had an oil change; however, the engine consumed an excessive amount of oil. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

My car consistently burned through oil despite getting regular oil changes and checks. The oil burned through before I was aware and the car now needs a new engine that will cost more than it’s worth

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Captiva. The contact stated that occasionally while his wife was stopped for either a traffic sign or traffic light, the engine would make a grinding noise. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming a lot of engine oil, requiring constant refilling every week. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with needing the timing chain replaced. The contact spoke with a dealer and asked if the VIN was under recall. The contact was informed that the VIN was not under recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000.

My car suddenly started acting funny and was not running well while i was driving, when i got to a stop sign it totally died. It was towed to a shop and was totally out of oil, my car wasn't even 1500 miles over it's last oil change. The engine was totally ruined and needed to be replaced. THis again seems to be a common problem with these engines that they just go out using all the oil in the vehicle unexpectedly.

Check engine code P0420. Exhaust Manifold was found to be cracked. Already repaired

USSE TOO MUCH OIL, HAVE TO PUT 2 QUARTS IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES, 3000 MILES. THE CAR WAS RUNNING SITTING AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. THEN WHEN WE LEFT THERE A LOT OF OIL ON THE PARKING LOT. A MESSAGE CAME ON AND IT SAID TO ADD OIL, WE PUT 3 QTS IN AND DROVE ABOUT 14 MILES AND THE CAR WAS OUT OF OIL

TRUCK KEEPS CUTTING OFF!!

PCV SYSTEM DEFECTIVE, BAD OIL CONSUMPTION AND ENGINE NOISES WHILE IDLE-DRIVING

2014 CHEVROLET CAPTIVA SPORT LT MANIFOLD CRACKED CAUSING LEAK AND FUMES GOING INSIDE THE CAR. DOING RESEARCH I FOUND ARTICLE ABOUT THE CHEVROLET EQUINOX HAVING SAME ISSUE AND IT HAS A RECALL.

MY VEHICLE WOULDN'T START, THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY, WOULDN'T TAKE A JUMP, HAD TOWED TO MECHANIC, TOLD TIMING CHAIN BROKE, NEED A NEW, USED OR REBUILT ENGINE. IT ONLY HAS 84000 MILES ON IT, OIL CHANGES DONE REGULARLY, READ OTHER COMPLAINTS, SEEM VERY SIMULAR

CAR HAS NEVER MISSED AN OIL CHANGE, ACTUALLY SOMETIMES I GO BEFORE THE RECOMMENDED TIME. ALL OF SUDDEN THE TIMING BELT BREAKS BECAUSE THERE IS NO OIL IN THE CAR. THE OIL WAS NOT EVEN DUE TO BE CHANGED, NO LEAKS AND NO SMELLS. CHEVY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. ACCORDING TO GOOGLE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS TO THESE CARS AT OR AROUND 90K MILES. I GUESS I WAS LUCKY THAT I DID GET OIL CHANGES SO OFTEN, I MADE IT A LITTLE LONGER. THIS IS THE REASON THAT TOYOTA AND HONDA ARE DOING SO WELL. THEY MAKE QUALITY CARS AND ALTHOUGH EVERYONE SAYS SUPPORT US BASED COMPANIES, THINGS LIKE THIS MAKE IT HARD.

CAR DID NOT EVEN HAVE 125K MILES ON IT AND IT STARTED KNOCKING. TOOK IT INTO MY LOCAL SHOP AND THEY SAID THAT THE RODS WERE KNOCKING AND THAT THE ENGINE WAS GOING. ENDED UP PUTTING IN A BRAND NEW CRATE MOTOR. I REMEMEBER A TIME WHEN CHEVY'S WOULD LAST FOR UP TO 200K MILES. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT I HAD TO SPEND ALL THAT MONEY ON A NEW MOTOR.

MY ENGINE WAS USING TO MUCH OIL.IT IS THE SAME ENGINE IN THE CLASS ACTION SUITE AGAINST GM'S FOR THE CHEVY EQUINOX THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BUT IT IS THE SAME ENGINE THAT IS BEING RECALLED I HAVE THREE KIDS AND MY CAR JUST QUIT ON ME DUE TO THERE MESSED UP ENGINE AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT CHEVY CAPTIVAS HAVE THE SAME ENGINE AND THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED

I HAVE TO PUT 1-3 QUARTS OF OIL IN MY CAR AT LEAST 2-3 TIMES BEFORE MY NEXT OIL CHANGE. IT BURNS WAY TO MUCH OIL.
