Description of the problem	My 2012 chevrolet equinox, equipped with a 2. 4l engine, is exhibiting excessive engine oil consumption less than 1,000 miles per quart of engine oil. I continue to take my car to the chevrolet dealership because i constantly hear an audible rattle or knock from my engine. It sounds like i am driving a diesel truck. The engine oil pressure light never comes on to let me know that the oil is low as to not burn out my engine. The oil pressure light never comes on. The car slows down to an almost complete stop in the middle of the highway while the speed limit is 70 miles an hour. At this rate, i could be killed or someone else. The dealer is stating i can continue to add oil or replace the engine for 7,000. I have maintained this car since its purchase and only went to chevrolet dealership, there is no way i should have to replace an engine. Why is there not a recall on this issue? This is a safety concern and gm should be fixing this problem and not allowing its consumers to continue to deal with this issue when they are acutely aware there is a problem. I had to go online and research this information myself. I was never notified that such an issue existed by gm or the gm dealership. Why has the nhtsa not forcing gm to issue a recall in this matter? When i look back at my receipts, i have been having problems since 2016 and was never notified of an issue with this suv. I have been paying so much money for issues that could have been prevented.

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.
