Shortly after the Equinox went into a failsafe/power limiting mode.

I presumed an issue with the traction control and continued to drive. Shortly after the instrument cluster displayed a Stabilitrak Warning. Approximately 10 minutes into the trip home, the 2016 Chevy Equinox started to make some faint abnormal sounds. It was around 14вЏ outside and starting to snow. Our car was parked outside for the weekend and we were planning to return home. Seeing as the economy is horrible right now, we really can-в‚¬в„ўt afford to do either!! Not even check engine when it-в‚¬в„ўs blown! We bought a newer vehicle to avoid these issues and now we are stuck dropping that much or more to replace engine block or buy a new suv all together. In the shop still and techs say no lights or warnings are coming on still when they turn the car on. Any notification that pops up, we check and fix immediately. Now we are stuck paying over $6k to replace the entire block when there was no notification that any maintenance was needed. Is driven daily and had no alerts or issues. Has been maintained and just had an oil change. Nothing about oil, no check engine, no warnings of any issues.

NOT ONE ALERT SHOWED OR IS NOW SHOWING ON DASH OR DISPLAY. Had to be towed to be checked and was told engine was flooded along with other issues from driving that short distance the way it was. Turned around and went home, car was dying and would not start after. About 200 feet down the street smelled burning oil. Pulled out of driveway and got sudden smell of oil. Checked tail pipe and it was clear and blowing out exhaust. Entered vehicle and smelled exhaust inside.
