Chevrolet Equinox Oil Consumption Class Action Near Settlement?

A firm other than Valero Law, APC is litigating a class action in California regarding 2010-2017 Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrains regarding the rampant oil consumption issues in those vehicles. Based on documents that have been filed in Federal Court by those attorneys, it appears that the class action may be settling soon. Those documents can be accessed here. The most relevant portion of that is below:

From my experience, in a class action settlement, the class members receive less than what they would if the consumer brought an individual action. In an individual lemon law action, the consumer may be entitled to a refund of the purchase price of the vehicle (minus a small credit the manufacturer gets based on how long the consumer drove the vehicle up until it was taken to a dealership for the defect). In a class action, the recovery is generally limited to a coupon that can be presented to a dealership for repair or a nominal (less than $300.00) cash recovery. As such, an individual lemon law claim may be the best form of recovery here.

If you’ve taken your Equinox or Terrain to a dealership for issues above, from engine stalling, abnormal oil consumption, high pressure fuel pump failure, balance shaft chain failure or engine failure, we can help you….
