Has the oil consumption issue for the 2011 chevrolet equinox been resolved or is there a recall/

sks3777

My daughter has a 2011 Chevrolet Equinox that she bought used. I've read all of the comments regarding this issue. It IS NOT normal to have to put oil into these new engines every 500 miles UNLESS there is some sort of manufacturer defect. I drove my mercury till it had nearly 200,000 miles on it and it never used a drop of oil. I only got rid of it because it was totaled! I've driven all types of vehicles, including Chevrolets. This is total crap. is there any sort of recall that has been put out on this. She is raising a family on her own and cannot afford a huge repair bill because of some design flaw.

There may be some special coverage , not a safety issue so no recall. How many miles on it and how much oil does it use (Am I correctly assuming its a 4 cyl?)
