2008 chevy equinox warning letter from chevy - knocking sound from distributor area

this happened after a repair that resulted from a crack found in the 3 cylinder spark plug, which we received a letter from chevy warning of the potential of this happening. it was fixed free of charge, but then the following day, this knocking started coming from the distributor area. they said that it was likely not a result of the previous repair but it could have been, and they also covered the repair.

The LNJ engine in your Equinox was manufactured in China, it is a piece of garbage. The failure rate is absurdly high.

@sleeksilver

thanks... i hope it holds up until we pay it off... i did have a spark plug issue they replaced before this happened and evidently, i think this issue was related, but other than that, it seems to be running fine.

@luisgdjr

Yeah, sorry you are having problems.

I'd pay it off ASAP and dump it immediately. Sell it before you even pay it off if you are able to. The 3.4 LNJ V6 is also prone for head gasket failures, and that is a $3,000 job out of warranty. That's a repair bill that no one wants to face.

I don't mean to insult of offend you at all, but the Equinox really is a terrible vehicle.
