Just had the pistons changed due to oil consumption. Also had a cracked Exhaust manifold, which was repaired. We have an exhaust leak in the pre-muffler. But we have had that leak for a few months. Now since the exhaust mainfold was changed the smell of exhaust is strong inside the cabin. Anybody else have this issue? I plan on calling the dealer tomorrow.

We took it back to the dealer and they found a hole in the gasket between the exhaust manifold and the catalytic converter. They replaced the gasket for free. However.....we still smell exhaust in the cabin. I called them and we are dropping the Equinox off again tomorrow morning. Its such a pain that we have to take it again.

Was just wondering what was found out about the equinox that had work done at dealers including a cracked manifold. I to had this same recall work done with my equinox and now have the smell of exhaust coming through the vents when idling. We have brought it to the dealership several times and they can’t seem to find the problem. We even had a whole new exhaust system put in. Anything you can tell us would be awesome so we can figure out next step. They are tired of seeing us. Thank you. Jason

Did anyone figure out the problem and fix the exhaust smell? I have a 2016 Equinox and I have taken my car back to where I bought it many times and they cant seem to figure it out. I really need to know what it is so if I take it to the dealer they arent charging me for the time it takes to diagnose problem. Single mom who doesnt have alot of extra cash. Any tips would be great!
