Description of the problem	I purchased a 2012 equinox on 6/22/2019. After several months i noticed my oil consumption was a possible issue. After having it diagnosed at our gm dealer i need to have the oil issue repaired. I replaced pistons,rings,timing chain,water pump, and spent $3532. 13. I missed a recall by just a few weeks. This is very disappointing as this is now my 3rd but possibly my last equinox. I want gm to honor this . Ii purchased this suv on 6/22/2019.*jb
