The Chevrolet Equinox was introduced by General Motors for the 2005 model year as a midsize SUV. Chevy later made significant changes to the Equinox for its second generation sold as 2010-2017 models, including upgraded direct injection engines. The third generation Equinox that GM debuted as a 2018 model transformed the Equinox into a compact SUV.

The Equinox’s popularity has steadily grown over the years—the midsize second-generation models (2010-2017) reached US sales of 250,000 units on annual basis, while yearly sales of the smaller third generation Equinox since 2018 have been nearly 350,000.

The primary problem with the Equinox, however, is excessive oil consumption by its engines—particularly as these SUVs age. Although the second-generation Equinox SUVs seem to have this problem more often, even the newer, smaller Chevy Equinox is beginning to have oil consumption issues.

The 2018, 2019, and 2020 Equinox SUVs have generated numerous official recalls and hundreds of complaints with the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration.
