Description of the problem	Excessive oil consumption, went to the dealership after speaking with a chevy owner who had the same issue and had his engine completely rebuild by gm. I was over the 100,000 mile power train warranty by 1000 miles by the time i learned of the issue. I specifically told the lady at the dealership that i was over 100k miles and she said it wouldn't be a problem. The gm dealership said they couldn't help me with oil consumption monitoring test and there was nothing they could do once i got there. The 2012 equinox just received an extended warranty for 7. 5 years or 120k to have the consumption test and engine repairs done. I now have 119k on my vehicle and have had the issue with the engine and oil consumption since around 80k. Gm put a bad engine in this vehicle and they know it but will do nothing to fix it. I have owned chevy's for over 15 years and have never had any significant problems. Gm needs to do right by their loyal customers. If the engine is bad recall it because i know several owners in the same position as me and we are looking to take our business elsewhere in the future. I have always been a chevy "american" man but you have been producing a cheap product and increasing the cost. Fix your mistake and take ownership of the problem and you will retain your customers or gouge hardworking people over an issue you know is your fault and lose them.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
