2010 Chevrolet Equinox 4-DR. w/SAB

I bought a Chevy Equinox in 6/2020 and have had high oil consumption problems. I took it in to where I bought it and they said it was a catalog converter problem along with seals and pistons that could damage your engine. After researching it, i found out there was a recall and class action suit fought in 2018 for the same problem. I was never told about this from the dealer and because it's outside the date to fix under the recall and warranty I have to pay for all the damage. The car broke down yesterday and had to be towed. What can I do? I'm still financing the vehicle

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle temporarily lost electrical power inadvertently. They were no warning lights illuminated. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 09V489000 (Visibility). The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 103,000.

I have had my vehicle for only a year and bought it used from a dealership here in town. I understand that the vehicle is nearly 12 years old though I have seen vehicles that were way older and not have half the problems that I am having with mine and it has been well keep and maintenance has been up to date. Early this week my car had been warming up for nearly 30 minutes and I put it in drive and it jerk harder then normal. I just thought it was because it went from hot to cold outside overnight that that was the problem. Though as I was driving down the street my check engine light came on and the vehicle was stalling in between 35-40 mph. So I got it check out and the code said that it was a transmission shift solenoid. I then took it to Chevy to make sure that, that was the issues and the dealership Penske Chevrolet confirmed that it was and that many of the Equinox’s, cruzes, and traverses from the year 2009 until 2019 Health exact same issue and that several people did the complaint form in their dealership I did research online and it’s true many people complain about this issue but I think they don’t know where to go to file a proper complaint. I think that this problem not being recalled is absurd because it’s costing people nearly 4, five, $6000 because of this issue when if many and I do mean many people are having this issue then chevy needs to fix this.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact mentioned that both rear windows failed to operate correctly and roll down independently with an abnormal noise that appeared while the vehicle was violently shaking. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired, and the failure recurred whenever the vehicle was in motion. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated while driving 20-25 mph, the vehicle stalled with the transmission warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to restart and was towed to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 200,000.

I have had oil consumption problems. Changed oil before due made all maintenance work on time or before due. Right after I bought it I put the main seal in it. Because it was leaking oil. That was$1000 more added to my loan. Put 4 hub bears on the front because of the steering instabilities which corrected it for a short time. But now that I am trying to sell the car I hear there is a recall on the motor but when I run it here there isn't so i am stuck. It hurts me to ride or drive it due to spine issues. And now I am stuck with this suv. Thank you GM for having us buy American.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED DURING A HAIL STORM, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ACTIVATED ON HIGH SETTING HOWEVER, AFTER WIPING UP AND DOWN TWICE, THE WIPERS BECAME INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT TONY DIVINO TOYOTA (777 W RIVERDALE RD, RIVERDALE, UT 84405) HAD REPAIRED THE WIPER BLADES A YEAR PRIOR HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000.

I TOOK MY SUV TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 1-8-2020 AND INFORMED THEM THAT ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON,AND HAD A LITTLE SHAKE, FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO CUT OFF,AND IT WAS BURNING OIL,LEFT VEHICLE AT DEALERSHIP FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS, GOT A CALL SAYING THERE WAS NO OIL ON DIP STICK, SO THERE WAS A OIL CHANGE DID, AND TOLD TO DRIVE FOR 1000 MILES THEN RETURN FOR RECHECK,POSSIBLE CAMSHAFT POSITION FAULT,DROVE CAR ,BUT BEFORE IT MEET THE 1000 MILES IN HAD TO ADD A QUART OF OIL TO VEHICLE THIS WAS OVER THE WEEKEND, CALLED AND INFORMED DEALERSHIP THEY SAID TO BRING IT BACK SO THEY COULD CHECK IT, TOOK SUV BACK AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T FIND NOTHING WRONG, BUT IT WAS STILL TAKING ALOT OF OIL, NOW THE CAMSHAFT IS NO GOOD, THEY JUST DIDN'T WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHEN THE WARRANTY WAS ON IT, NOW THAT THE WARRANTY IS GONE THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR THE WORK,FYI THERE WAS A WARRANTY ON THE SUV WHEN I WAS COMPLAINING SO IT COULD HAVE BE FIXED THEN,THE SAME PROBLEM I WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT,IS THE SAME PROBLEM I GOT NOW,WHY DO DEALERSHIPS ALWAYS GET OVER PEOPLE, THE CAMSHAFT WENT OUT 11-23-2020

MY VEHICAL IS BURNIG OIL I HAVE CHAGED MY OIL TWICE ALREADY THIS YEAR I JUST CHANGED TWO SENSORS NOW IM GETTING A CODE FOR THE CONVERTER

CAR CONSUMES ENTIRELY TO MUCH OIL. EVERY WEEK I AM PUTTING 2 QUARTS OF OIL IN EVEN AFTER GETTING A FRESH OIL CHANGE. ENGINE IS LOUD/RATTLING HAS BEEN EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. I HAVE BEEN PUTTING MONEY IN THIS CAR SINCE I PURCHASED IT. NOW CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. SAYS I NEED A NEW TIMING FROM WHAT I AM BEING TOLD THAT IS BASICALLY A NEW ENGINE. THE RADIO GOES OUT AND COMES BACK ON, YESTERDAY THE VOLUME ON THE RADIO WAS GOING UP & DOWN BY ITSELF. THE MAIN ISSUE IS A ENGINE AND THE OIL. THERE IS NO WAY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH ALMOST EVERY COMPLIANT THAT I HAVE SEEN SO FAR AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ON THIS HOW INSANE. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CAR FROM GM AGAIN! THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR WENT OUT TWICE, THIS IS A OVERALL TERRIBLE ENGINE AND CAR. THE CAR IS LOUD WHEN IT IS RUNNING AND WHEN YOU ACCELERATE, TURN THE CAR ALL OF THE ABOVE. I HAD THE MUFFLER AND SOME OTHER THINGS FIXED AND IT'S STILL LOUD, THE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE ENGINE.

THIS YEAR AND MODEL OF THE CHEVROLET EQUINOX HAS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR OIL CONSUMPTION. I AM GETTING AN OIL CHANGE, ON AVERAGE, EVERY 1,500 MILES. MY CAR HAS STALL WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. IT STALLS MOST MORNINGS AFTER BEING TURNED ON FOR 15-20 SECONDS. I'VE ALSO HAD IT STALL WHEN CHANGING GEARS. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE FOR ANY DRIVER AND THEN ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

I'VE HAD COUNTLESS ISSUES FROM THIS VEHICLE SINCE I'VE GOTTEN IT BETWEEN A CONSTANT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAVING TO REPLACE ALL THE SENSORS AND IT GOES AWAY OR OIL LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS I STAY PUTTING OIL IN IT TWICE A WEEK AS OF THE PAST FEW DAYS I WAS COMING HOME FROM TAKING MY BROTHER TO KARATE AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT START FLASHING IN MY STABILITY TRACK CAME ON AND DUE TO THE OIL LEAK IT CAUSE MY ENGINE TO CRACK A RING SO NOW MY VEHICLE IS BASICALLY TOTALED ITS HEARTBREAKING CUZ THE AMOUNT OF MONEY AND REPAIRS ARE PUT INTO IT IT'S BEEN ONE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CAR TO ANYBODY

MY TRANSMISSION IS NOT PICKING UP ACCORDINGLY. RPM ARE HIGH.

I'VE TAKEN MY EQUINOX TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND NO ONE EVER TOLD ME ANYTHING ABOUT IT . MY VEHICLE USES AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF ENGINE OIL AFTER . MY OIL CHANGES HAVE TO BE EVERY 3 WEEKS. . WHEN TURNING ON MY VEHICLE IT SOUNDS LIKE A TRACTOR IS READY TO GO. I HAVE A SMALL SUV THAT I KNOW NEVER MADE THAT LOUD NOISE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT FAILED TO MOVE UP AND DOWN. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WAS CONSUMING AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF OIL. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED SANDS CHEVROLET ' SURPRISE (16991 W WADDELL RD, SURPRISE, AZ 85388, (623) 428-1865) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FAILURE WAS LIKE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V447000 (SEATS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I RECENTLY FOUND MY SON'S DEFROST WAS NOT WORKING ON HIS 2010 EQUINOX. AS I WAS SEARCHING FOR TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION, I FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE HOWEVER MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL. MY ASSUMPTION IS THEY DID NTO ACCURATELY BOOKEND THIS ISSUE.

AFTER REFUELING VEHICLE, I NOTICED A STRONG GAS ODOR THAT DID NOT GO AWAY FOR SEVERAL DAYS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE THE A CHEVY DEALER WHO IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS A CRACKED FUEL TANK CONNECTOR, AS SHOWN IN THE ATTACHED PHOTO. APPARENTLY GM HAS RECOGNIZED THE ISSUE AND HAS SINCE REDESIGNED THE PART, AS SHOWN IN THE SECOND ATTACHED PHOTO. THIS VEHICLE HAS UNDER 80K MILES, HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, NOR HAD ANY OTHER INCIDENT THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE PART FAILURE. THE FAILURE APPEARS TO BE A STRESS CRACK DUE TO A DEFECTIVE, OVER-STRESSED, POORLY DESIGNED, OR POORLY ASSEMBLED PART. IN SHORT, THIS PART SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED. FURTHERMORE, THE FAILURE REPRESENTS A DANGEROUS SITUATION, DUE TO THE FUEL LEAK THAT OCCURRED. THE REPAIR WAS ON THE ORDER OF $1500, BECAUSE THE DEALER INDICATED THAT BOTH THE GAS TANK AND FILLER NECK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A SUBSTANTIAL REPAIR FOR A RELATIVELY LOW-MILEAGE VEHICLE.

I PUT IN A NEW CADILLAC CONVERTER AND EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND I HAVE TO CHANGE THE O2 SENSORS BANK1 02 SENSOR KEEPS GIVING ME P034 & P054 IN A PERMANENT P0420 IT GETS VERY EXPENSIVE CHANGING THE SAME REPAIRS OVER AND OVER AGAIN . THIS HAPPEN WHEN I'M IN MOTION ,THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON ALL THE TIME .

THERE IS A GM LAWSUIT FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR. GM IS FULLY AWARE THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE CONCERNING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND THE DAMAGE IT DOES TO THE CARS. THEY ARE HIDING BEHIND THE LAWSUIT AND MAKING IT THE BURDEN TO THE CUSTOMER TO PROVIDE PROOF THAT EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION HAPPENED TO THEIR CAR. I AM ONE OF THE PERSONS THAT HAS BEEN DENIED COMPENSATION DUE TO THE FACT MY VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE 10 YEAR MARK IN THE LAWSUIT WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN JUNE OF 2019 NOT KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT A LAWSUIT REGARDING THIS VEHICLE AND IMMEDIATELY HAVING ISSUES WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION AND DAMAGE TO MY CAR'S ENGINE. I PROVIDED DOCUMENTS NEEDED AND WAS DENIED. I BELONG TO A GROUP ON FACEBOOK FOR THIS LAWSUIT AND CUSTOMERS THAT ARE GETTING SCREWED OUT OF COMPENSATION FOR MONEY ALREADY PUT INTO THEIR VEHICLES. I PURCHASED MY CAR FOR $10,000 IN JUNE 2019 AND HAVE ALREADY PUT ALMOST $6,000 IN REPAIRS DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION BACK INTO MY CAR. I AM UPSIDE DOWN IN MY CAR, HAVE BARELY HAD IT A YEAR AND HALF AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AGAIN AND IS MOSTLY LIKE DUE TO THE SAME ISSUES. I CANNOT AFFORD A NEW VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE EXISTING LOAN. I AM ANGRY AT GM BECAUSE THEY KNOW THERE ARE EXISTING ISSUES IN ALL OF THESE CARS AND THERE IS EVEN A NEW LAWSUIT THAT HAS BEEN FILED FOR MORE OF THEIR VEHICLES. I AM LIVID FOR ALL THESE PEOPLE INCLUDING ME THAT CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THEIR VEHICLES IN [XXX] CONDITION PARTICULARLY NOW WHEN INDIVIDUALS HAVE LOST THEIR LIVELIHOODS AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT HAVING TO FIX THEIR CARS FOR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. I AM A SINGLE MOM AND THIS IS DEVASTATING TO ME. I HAVE INVOICES AND SUCH TO BACK MY CLAIMS AS WELL. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

CAR WONT TURN ON AND KEYS STUCK IN IGNITION I CAN'T LOCK MY CAR

MY CAR BEGAN OVERCONSUMING OIL THE MOMENT I BOUGHT IT IN 2016. IT BROKE DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD NO OIL IT EVEN THOUGH I JUST HAD THE OIL REPLACED MERELY DAYS BEFORE. WE WERE IN ANOTHER STATE, SO I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED AND RENTED A RENTAL CAR FOR SEVERAL DAYS. IT COST ME OVER $1,000 TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR AND ASSOCIATED RENTAL COSTS. ULTIMATELY, THE CAR WAS SUBJECT TO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND THE ENTIRE ENGINE HAD TO BE REBUILT. LAST YEAR, MY TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET. I HAD TO GET THAT REPLACED TOO. NOW GM IS REFUSING TO COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR UNDER THE CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE.

I HAVE SPENT MORE THAN 10K ON REPAIRS ON MY CAR DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS. THAT INCLUDES A REPLACEMENT OF ENGINE AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER, PLUS OTHER REPAIRS WHILE THEY TRIED TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE ENGINE. I AM PART OF THE CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT AND I HAVE PROVIDED ALL DOCUMENTS TO THE SETTLER AND MY CLAIM HAS BEEN DENIED. NEVER BUYING A GM VEHICLE AGAIN.

I GOT THE VEHICLE APRIL 12TH,2019 DRIVING TO WORK VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THEN DIED. OIL CHANGE END OF OCT THROUGH MIDAS. TOWED TO GM PART OF CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BERMAN B MOTORS CLAIM BEING DENIED AS SAYING OUTSIDE OF SCA DATE. THEY SAY SCA DATE 12/14/2009 THE VEHICLE WASN'T MADE UNTIL JUNE OF 2010. I HAD IT TOWED IN 12/11/2019 THEY COULDN'T SERVICE IMMEDIATELY AS RURAL AREA AND OTHER VEHICLES WAITING BEFORE MINE. GOT VEHICLE OUT 1/28/2020. CLAIM WAS DENIED SAYING WAS OUTSIDE SCA DATE. CAUSE FOUND BY TECH WAS ENGINE DAMAGE DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. MANY ENGINE PARTS WERE REPLACED. TIMING CHAIN AND VALVES WERE COVERED BY GM WHEN MGR OF ART HASSLER SEEN IT WAS A EQUINOX THEN PUT BACK IN LINE BECAUSEOF DATE THE REPAIR HAD TO BE DONE. 2300.00 AND OVER TO GET OUT. 2 SERVICE PAPERS. NO OIL LIGHT CAME ON. MAY STILL HAVE DEBRIS IN ENGINE. NEEDS EXHAUST MANIFOLD,BALL JOINTS JUST HAD FRONT BRAKES REPLACED AND SENSOR THAT SAID ALL WHEEL DRIVE IS OFF FEATURE AT MIDAS. ITS ALWAYS SOMETHING. GM SHOULD DO SOMETHING THEY SHOULD HAVE APPROVED MY CLAIM AS IT WAS IN THE SHOP THE WHOLE TIME FROM 12/11/2019 TO 1/28/2020. THEY HAVEN'T OFFERED ANY RESOLUTION OR MONEY OFF A NEW VEHICLE NOTHING. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THERE ARE TOO MANY OF US WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

NO ONE TOLD ME WHEN I GOT THIS CAR HOW BAD THE OIL CONSUMPTION WAS! I GO THROUGH 5 QUARTS OF OIL IN LESS THAN 2,000 MILES. IT'S STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING. IT'S SUPER DANGEROUS

I LOVE MY CAR WAS SO PROUD OF BESSY! I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND IT JUST STOPPED. WOULDN'T CRANK. GOT IT HOME TO BE TOLD THAT IT'S THE TIMING CHAIN. THAT'S $1000-$1500 THAT I DON'T HAVE. ESPECIALLY SINCE I'M TAKING CARE OF MY MOTHER N LAW SINCE MY FATHER N LAW DIED FROM CANCER. AND NOW MY HUSBAND CAN'T WORK DUE TO BEING ALMOST CRIPPLED. I STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH DUE TO HEARING ABOUT A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE AFTER I BOUGHT IT. TURNS OUT THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE, ALMOST EVERYBODY WHO OWNS A CHEVY EQUINOX HAS THE SAME PROBLEM! WHY IS THIS?? WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN FIXED YET?? WHY KEEP MAKING THE SAME MISTAKE AGAIN AGAIN?? NOW MY CAR IS SITTING IN THE YARD. I HAVE A 7 YR OLD SON THAT I CAN'T EVEN TAKE TO THE DOCTOR WITH NO WAY OF GOING OR THE REST OF MY FAMILY. SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS CHEVELOT GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS??? I WAS HOPING ONE DAY TO GET A BRAND NEW ONE! PLEASE HELP!!!

2.4-LITER ECOTEC ENGINES SUFFER FROM THE DEFECT THAT CONSUMES OIL AT A VERY HIGH RATE. THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF THE DEFECT IS MALFUNCTIONING PISTON RINGS, WHICH ARE PRONE TO PREMATURE WEAR, THE JUDGE'S ORDER STATES. THE DEFECT NECESSITATES THE NEED FOR THE CAR OWNER TO REPLENISH THE CAR'S OIL MORE FREQUENTLY. WE CHANGE OIL EVERY MONTH BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT NOW IS WORSE BECAUSE IS COMING NOW WHITE SMOKE AND SHAKING ALL THE ENGINE SO ITS NOW OUT OF ROAD MY EQUINOX SO I AM WAITING FOR THIS SOLUTION FROM GM BUT NOT ANSWERS.

MY VEHICLE LEAKS A LOT OF OIL INTERNALLY. I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT MY INTAKE VALVES ARE COVERED IN OIL AND MY PISTONS ARE ALSO CONTAINING OIL. THE MECHANISM TO CONTROL/DRAIN THAT OIL DOESN'T WORK. BECAUSE OF THIS THE CAR IS KNOCKING AND STALLING AT IDLE.

AFTER A SHORT WARM UP (5-10 MINUTES OF DRIVING), THE STEERING WHEEL WILL INTERMITTENTLY LOSE POWER AND IS DIFFICULT TO STEER. IT IT DOESN'T MATTER THE TYPE OR SPEED OF DRIVING FOR THIS TO HAPPEN.

JUST BOUGHT A 2010 CHEVY EQUONOX LTZ AND I COULDN'T GET THE SEAT BELT LATCHED. THIS MODEL OF THE EQUINOX ISNT ANY BETTER THAN MY 07 EQUINOX AS FAR AS BIG LARGE OR OBESE PERSONS AS I AM, GETTING THE SEAT BELT TO LATCH BEHIND ME. IT TORE THE SKIN OFF MY KNUCKLE AND O STILL COULDNT GET IT LATCHED. I JUST TEST DROVE IT WITHOUT IT BUCKLED . I EVEN PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT AND TRIED TO PULL UP ON THE STATIONARY CONNECTION PIECE BUT IT DONT BUDGE . WHOEVER DESIGNED THESE 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX FUD A VERY POOR JOB ON NOT THINKING OF LARGE FOLKS WHO DRIVE THESE SUVS. I STILL CAN'T GET IT LATCHED. I HAVE TO BUY AN EXTENSION PART THAT WILL CLICK IN THE FEMALE PART AND THEN EXTEND OUT A GOOD 5IN SO I CAN GET IT TO LATCH OR BUCKLE AND OPERATE VEHICLE SAFELY. I NOTICED THIS AS I GOT IN TO GO TEST DRIVE THIS 2010 EQUINOX LTZ. AND I COULD NOT GET IT TO LATCH I TRIED FOR 5 MINS AT THE DEALER LOCATION BUT DROVE OFF. PULLED OVER TRIED AGAIN, MO LUCK EITHER TIME. NOW AN EXTENSION WILL COST ME $15-20 AT LEAST. SO DOUBLE THAT BECAUSE IF I BUY ONE I'LL NEED ANOTHER FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEN MY WIFE DRIVES AND I'M THE PASSENGER SO THIS WILL COST ME $40 FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD OF BEEN ADDRESSED DURING MANUFACTURING. IT IS LOCATED CLEAR DOWN INSIDE BETWEEN THE SEAT AND THE BACK REST OF THE SEAT. VERY POOR LOCATION. PEOPLE ARENT GOING TO FIGHT THE BELT AND WON'T WEAR IT NOW. THINK OF LARGE PEOPLE WHY DONT YOU. IT NEEDS RECALLED AND THAT LATCH NEEDS MOVED UP AND TO THE SIDE OF DRIVER NOT AROUND THE BACK OF THE DRIVER.

VEHICLE DOESN'T SHIFT GEARS PROPERLY. FREQUENT HESITATION AND SURGING HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING.

MY 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX TIMING CHAIN IS BAD AND LEAKS OIL HAD THE CAR NO LONGER THEN A YEAR THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE IN THE CHEVY EQUINOX I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND BAD TIMING CHAIN IS ONE OF THE NUMBER 1 PROBLEMS IN THESE CARS AND THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON BAD TIMING CHAINS I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF 4 KIDS TRYING TO GET BY AND THIS IS MY ONLY CAR I HAVE ITS STALLS ON ME ALL THE TIME AND THERE ARE MANY TIMES IT WILL NOT STAY RUNNING AT ALL I AM ASKING TO PLEASE PAY TO HAVE IT FIX OR PAY HALF ITS A BEAUTIFUL CAR ITS SAD TO KNOW THIS IS A KNOWN FACTOR IN THESE CARS TO HAVE BAD TIMING CHAINS AND PISTON RINGS ON THE MOTOR BUT I AM MORE WORRY ABOUT THE TIMING CHAIN I DO NOT HAVE $1200 TO $1800 FOR A NEW TIMINING OR CAR PLEASE HELP.

WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING AND I PUT THE HEAT OR DEFROSTER ON POPPING NOISES COMING FROM CONTROL SYSTEM AND THEN IT CHANGES FROM HEAT TO COOL OR COLD AIR. I HAVE TO PLAY WITH THE SYSTEM SWITCHING BACK AN FORTH FROM A/C TO HEAT TO SOMETIMES TO GET THE HEAT BACK ON. SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT COME BACK . IT STARTED IN DECEMBER OF 2016 AN CONTINUES TILL PRESENT DATE. THE NHTSA COMPLAINT #09V49800 GM CHEVROLET IS SAYING 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX ARE NOT INCLUDED. BUT CAR HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THEIR RECALL.

IN 2016 THE DEFROSTER, DEFOGGER,HAVC SYSTEM STARTED TO MAKING POPPING NOISES WHICH WOULD THEN SWITCH THE HEAT TO COLD AIR. TO GET THE THE SYSTEM TO PROVIDE HEAT IN THE VEHICLE YOU HAVE TO PLAY WITH THE BUTTONS GOING BACK AN FORTH HEAT TO A/C. IF YOUR LUCKY YOU WILL GET THE HEAT BACK ON. IT ALSO AFFECTS THE ILLUMINATION OF THE DASH AND RADIO LIGHTING. IT IS A TREMENDOUS SAFETY HAZARD IN THE WINTER TO NOT HAVE HEAT FOR THE DEFROSTERS AN HEAT FOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. IT CONTINUES TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM.

COMPUTER CHIP MALFUNCTION, STABILITY TRAC, SMOKE FROM EXHAUST WITH FUMES RELEASED INTO THE INTERIOR,, DRIVER SEAT MALFUNCTION, AND OTHER THAT I CANNOT DO IT INTO WORDS , THIS ALL HAPPENED WHEN VEHICLE HAD 138,000 MILES AND ALSO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT , FUEL PUMP , IGNITION COMPARTMENT, VEHICLE IS A 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX ALL WHEEL DRIVE LTZ AND ALSO THE AWD DOES NOT WORK LIGHTS FLICKERING MULTIPLE MALFUNCTIONS WHEELS LOCK UP SOMETHING WITH THE DIFFERENTIAL I DON'T KNOW IT DOES NOT EVEN SHIFT WHEN I PUT IT IN THE MANUAL I'VE DONE EVERYTHING I COULD TO GET INSPECTIONS AND I CANNOT FIND THE RIGHT DEALER TO GIVE ME AN ANSWER THEY ALL JUST WANT MY MONEY AND I'M AN HONEST PERSON AND I WANT TO HELP A GREAT MECHANIC OUT BY BRINGING THEM BUSINESS AND REFERRING THEM CUSTOMERS I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO I'M STUCK I NEED HELP PLEASE I HAVE A ONE-YEAR-OLD SON I HAVE A FAMILY AND WE HAVE ONE VEHICLE AND IT'S THE CHEVY EQUINOX, OH AND ALSO THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT SIZE TIRES BEING THAT IT'S ALL-WHEEL DRIVE THE FRONT TIRES HAVE SMALLER WHEELS I MEAN SMALLER TIRES THAN THERE IS ON THE REARS SO BOTH FRONTS AND PASSENGER ARE SMALLER THAN THE RE AR DRIVER AND REAR PASSENGER THE ONES ON THE REAR ARE CORRECT AND WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ON THAT CAME OUT OF FACTORY THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ALL FOUR OF THE SAME OF THE ONES THAT ARE ON THE REAR BECAUSE OF THE FACT IT'S ALL WHEEL DRIVE AND THEY CAN MESS UP THE TRANSMISSION AND I THINK IT DID BUT I'M NOT SURE I NEED PROFESSIONAL HELP ASAP THANK YOU SO MUCH AND HAVE A BLESSED DAY

IT USES OIL LIKE CRAZY. WE HAVE CHANGED EVERYTHING,BESIDES GETTING A NEW MOTOR. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK TONIGHT AND THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON OUT OF NO WHERE. MY BRAKES WHERE TRYING TO LOCK UP. WHEN YOU CRANK IT NOW IT MAKES A FUNNY NOICE

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, STATIONARY, ALL NIGHT, ALL MORNING, KEY WAS NOT IN THE IGNITION, NO ONE AROUND, IT STARTED BY ITSELF. NO ONE WAS IN THE VEHICLE AND THE DOORS LOCKED. WHEN NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR LEFT HIS HOUSE, IN THE MORNING, HE NOTICED IT WAS RUNNING AND CHECKED TO SEE IF THE KEY WAS IN THE IGNITION, IT WASN'T, AND THEN IF WE WERE AROUND, WE WEREN'T. THEN HE TOUCHED THE HOOD OF THE CAR TO SEE IF IT WAS HOT, IT WASN'T AND WAITED UNTIL THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF. IT RAN FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES BEFORE IT TURNED OFF. WE WERE TOLD IN THE EVENING OF WHAT HAPPENED AND WENT TO SEE IF THE VEHICLE WOULD START WITH THE KEY AND IT DID.

MY CAR WASN'T TELLING ME THAT OIL IS LOW. THEN IT STARTED LEAKING OIL LIKE CRAZY. EVERY OTHER DAY I WOULD PUT OIL. AND DO FREQUENT OIL CHANGE. ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING IN THE FREEWAY WITH MY KIDS IN THE BACK SEAT. GOING 70MPH MY CAR SUDDENLY GIVES OUT. HAVE TO RUSH TO PARK IT ASIDE. THEN MY CAR WONT RUN. CALL MY INSURANCE BUT THEH COULDN'T HELP WITH TOWING. I SPEND $200 JUST TO TAKE IT BACK TO A MECHANIC. WHERE THEN HE SAID MY ENGINE NO GOOD I NEED A NEW ONE. I STILL OWE $5,000 TO THIS CAR! I'VE BEEN PAYING AHEAD OF TIME TO GET PAID OFF. NOW IS NOT RUNNING AND JUST SITTING ON MY DRIVEWAY FOR MONTHS. AND STILL NEED TO PAY IT.

VEHICLE JUST REACHED THE 100K MILE MARK. WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE TRANSMISSION WENT FULLY OUT OF COMMISSION. ALWAYS HAD OUR CHANGED AND ALL REPAIRS DONE AT DEALERSHIP. BRAKES REPLACED AND OIL CHANGED AT 104,976 WITH MULTIPOINT INSPECTION DONE AT DEALERSHIP. NO PROBLEMS REPORTED AT THIS TIME. TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 105,638.

VEHICLE IS BURNING ASTRONOMICAL AMOUNTS OF OIL, EVEN WHEN CAR IS SITTING. CAR RUNS ROUGH AND IDLES AND ACTS AS IF IT WILL STALL OUT. THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS HAVE COME ON. CAR ACTS LIKE IT WON'T START AND TAKES A FEW TIMES BEFORE IT ACTUALLY STARTS UP. HAVE REPLACED SO MANY PARTS AND OF COURSE AT 155,000 MILES FOR A 2010 EQUINOX WE DON'T QUALIFY UNDER THE PENDING LAWSUIT. CAR IS PARKED BECAUSE IT USES SO MUCH OIL.

POWER STEERING BECOMES STIFF AND VARIABLE. DOESN'T GO BACK TO CENTER AFTER TURNING. THIS PROBLEM COMES AND GOES.

CODE P0300- CYLINDER #4 MISFIRE, EXTREME BLOW BY FROM INTERNAL FAILURE. WENT INTO COMPLETE SHUTDOWN ON HIGHWAY

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY POWER ENGINE LITE COMES ON AND ACTS LIKE IT IS GOING TO CUT OFF , SOME TIMES IT DOES. MY ABS LITE COMES ON AT ANYTIME, WHEN COMING TO A STOP MY BRAKES SLIP AND ACTS LIKE IT DOES NOT WANT TO CATCH, BRAKES ARE NEW! ALSO THE 2010 USES ABOUT 4 TO 5 QT IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES AND THERE IS NO LEAKS. DEFOGGER DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. AND KNOW HAVING ENGINE PROBLEMS. HAVE CHANGED THE O2 SENSOR STILL SAYS THEY NEED TO BE CHANGED, HAVE CHANGED THE MANIFOLD AND SAYS THAT STILL NEEDS O BE CHANGED, ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. STABILLIY TRACK LIGHT COMES ON ALL THE TIME AS WELL. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER 6 YEARS!

MY VEHICLE WON'T START DUE TO CPU AND ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONING AND MY LOAN WARRANTY WOULDN'T COVER THE DAMAGES AND I ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 3 MONTHS MILEAGE IS UNDER 105000. MY NEGATIVE TERMINAL CABLE POPS OFF MY VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN RANDOMLY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CUTS ON WHEN I HIT 3 RPMS

BRAKES APPLY BY THEMSELVES, BRINGING CAR TO A STOP. CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME, INCLUDING WHEN TRYING TO CROSS A BUSY HIGHWAY, ETC.

A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO I STARTED EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH VEHICLE. AT SPEEDS OVER 60 THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE AND WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE CAR WOULD DO A ROCKING MOTION. TODAY ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR WAS DRIVING FINE THAN RANDOMLY A LIGHT POPPED ON THAT SAID LOW OIL CONSUMPTION TURN OFF ENGINE AND THE CAR BEGAN EXCESSIVELY SMOKING FROM UNDER HOOD. I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED I THE OIL AND IT WAS EMPTY ADDED 4 QUARTS IT WAS STILL EMPTY LOOKED UNDER CAR AND OIL HAD LEAKED EVERYWHERE. NO PRIOR WARNING LIGHTS OR CHECK OIL OR LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHTS WERE ON. I GET PROPER OIL CHANGES WHEN DUE. A COUPLE OF MOTHS BACK I WAS HAVING SEVERAL ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE AS WELL WERE THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WOULD POP ON AND OFF AIR AND RADIO WOULD TURN ITSELF ON AND OFF, DOORS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING ETC. AND TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED CHEVY DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED AND THESE ISSUES WERE MONTHS AFTER I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AFTER IT FAILS MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. *TR

HAD A OIL CHANGE APRIL 15 2020. CAR WAS DRIVING FINE ON MAY 26 DRIVING AND WHITE SMOKE COMES OUT OF NOWHERE. NO LOW ENGINE LIGHT OR NOTHING JUST A SAD DAY. *TR

THE OTHER DAY IT WAS RAINING SLIGHTLY AND I WAS AT MY FRIENDS HOUSE. LATER WHEN I LEFT IT WAS RAINING HARDER SO I WAS USING MY WIPERS AND WHEN I HAD GOTTEN 5 MINS DOWN THE ROAD MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AND IT CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE A THING. WHEN THAT HAPPENED I HIT SOMETHING AND WAS IN THE GRASS A BIT. NOW I HAVE A CHUNK OF MY BUMPER GONE AND A HEADLIGHT OUT CAUSE OF WHAT I HIT. WHICH I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS I HIT. NOW MY WIPERS DON'T WORK, A CHUNK OF MY BUMPER IS GONE, AS WELL AS SOME PLASTIC UNDER MY CAR CAME OFF. *TR

NO DEFROST/HEAT. ALL ELECTRONICS TURN OFF IT DOES NOT MATTER HIGHWAY/CITY. WHEN TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGES DASH WILL CUT OFF AND I HAVE TO RESTART. I HAVE HAD MY CAR JUST LOSE POWER FOR NO REASON HIGHWAY OR CITY. THIS THING IS NOT SAFE! I KNOW THE DATE STATES 12/31/2019. HOWEVER I HAVE DEALING WITH THIS SINCE I GOT THIS THING. *TR

THIS 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX CONSUMES A LOT OF OIL, LIKE EVERY TANK OF GAS I HAVE TO ADD OIL. THIS SHOULDN'T BE.

2 DAYS AFTER DRIVING THIS 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX OFF THE LOT. THE POWER STEERING PUMP GOES OUT. THE POWER STEERING HAD A WINDING NOISE SINCE IT WAS REPLACED, AND THEY TOLD ME THERE MAY JUST BE AIR IN THE LINE. AFTER RIVING IT THAT WAY FOR A MONTH TOOK IT IN TO GET THAT LOOKED AT AND THEY ENDED UP REPLACING THAT AND SAID IT WAS A FAULTY PUMP. THEN DAYS LATER ONE OF THE TIRE SENSORS GOES OUT. HAD THAT REPLACED! THEN A FEW HOURS AFTER DRIVING IT THAT SAME TIRE SENSOR GOES OUT AGAIN. THIS IS THE WORST VEHICLE THAT GENERAL MOTORS AS MADE!!!!! IT HAD NEW TIRES WHEN WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND NOT EVEN 8 MONTHS THE TWO REAR TIRES WERE MAKING THE REAR END SLIDE ALL OVER THE ROAD AND AFTER INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM I FOUND THE TWO REAR TIRES HAD WIRES SHOWING ON THE INSIDE OF THE WHEEL TREAD ALL THE WAY AROUND THE WHEELS. TAKE IT IN AND THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE A TIRE ROTATION! WELL, AFTER REPLACING THE TIRES, THEN 6 MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD THE NEW TIRES ARE IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE JUST ON THE REAR TIRES. THERE IS NO WAY THAT YOU NEED TO HAVE A TIRE ROTATION THAT OFTEN. HAD THEM REPLACED ONCE AGAIN. THE HEAT STOPPED WORKING AND ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR! FOUND OUT THAT THESE VEHICLES ARE KNOWN FOR THIS ISSUE. THAT SENSOR UP UNDER THE GLOVE BOX ISN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO OPEN/CLOSE THE VENT TO KEEP REGULATING THE HEAT CONTROL. NOW, THE 2ND SET OF TIRES HAVE THE SAME WIRES GOING AROUND THE TIRES!!!!! MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE! IF, GM DOESN'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE ISSUES THEY ARE GOING TO BE FACING A LOT OF LAWSUITS OR CUSTOMERS GOING ELSEWHERE. NOW THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AND LIKE THE CONTROL ARMS FELL OFF UNDER THE OUTER DASH AREA!!!! TAKE THESE VEHICLES STRAIGHT TO THE JUNKYARDS. OH, AND THE STABILITY TRAC CONTROL ISSUE HAS HAPPENED AS WELL WERE THE VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF A FOUR-LANE FREEWAY!!!

I HAD MY EQUINOX REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL FOR OIL CONSUMPTION, YET IT IS STILL BURNING OIL. THE HEAT AND AC ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY, TO GET HEAT I HAVE TO TURN THE DIAL BACK AND FORTH AND MAYBE IT WILL WORK MOST OF THE TIME I HAVE TO DRIVE ABOUT A HALF A MILE FOR IT TO BLOW HEAT. THE AC IS JUST NOT WORKING AT ALL. THE INFO PANEL IN THE CENTER OF THE DASH WILL GO OUT AND COME BACK ON LATER. WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR WILL JUST SLOW DOWN LIKE I'M NOT PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AT ALL. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO GET STUCK IN A GEAR CAUSING THE RPMS TO RISE AND STAY UNTIL I TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR. THE CAR MAKES A CLICKING SOUND WHEN TURNING. IT SHAKES AT 60 MPH. ALSO I HAVE REPLACED HEADLIGHTS 2 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR.

MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE JUST STOPPED WORKING. YOU CAN HEAR THE MOTOR RUNNING BUT THEY DO NOT MOVE. I HAVE READ THAT THE 2013 THROUGH 2019 HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM. THEY JUST STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE POURING RAIN. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THIS PROBLEM. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. WHY ARE THEY NOT FIXING THE 2010-2013 MODELS? I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD PAY TO HAVE THIS FIXED. ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO LOSE THEIR LIFE BEFORE THEY ADD THESE OTHER CARS TO THIS RECALL! PLEASE GET BACK TO ME AS TO WHAT I SHOULD DO. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS NOW. I NEED MY CAR!!!

HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS , IT WONT DRIVE FRONTWARDS .

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR, THEN IT WOULD GO INTO FORWARD AND NOT REVERSE TOOK IT TO CHEVY AND WAS TOLD WE NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION

ITS A TICKING NOISE WHEN STARTED UP THEN LIGHTS FROM THE DASH BOARD TO THE HEAD LIGHTS, FLICKS OFF AND ON AND THE HORN GOES OUT AT THE SAME TIME. WHEN DRIVING THE IDLE DONT SEEM TO PICK UP SPEED THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO HAS PROBLEM IT MAKE THIS HORRIBLE LOUD NOISE AND THE CAR DO SEEM TO DRIVE RIGHT. THE CV JOINT IS GOING BAD FOR THE 5 TIME AND THE BARS THE WHEELS MAKE THIS LOUD NOISE I ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 5 YRS (CHEVY EQUINOX 2010) AND MOST I HAD TO REPLACE, NOW ITS GOING BAD AGAIN. THE TRANSMISSION IS THE BIG PROBLEM NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE AGAIN I MIGHT AS WELL GET AN WHOLE NEW CAR

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING IN THE RAIN, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS THE WIPER MOTOR, DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS THIS TIME. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A STREET

ON FEBRUARY 26, I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 EQUINOX TO MY MECHANIC FOR AN ANNUAL VEHICLE INSPECTION AND TO FIND OUT WHY MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON. AS I WAS DRIVING SMOKE STARTED FLOWING OUT FROM UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD. I STOPPED THE CAR AND GOT OUT THINKING IT WAS GOING TO GO ON FIRE. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, THE SMOKE STOPPED AND I PROCEEDED TO MY MECHANIC. ON MARCH 10TH MY MECHANIC HAD THE CAR IN HIS GARAGE AND WAS COMPLETING THE INSPECTION AND HE DECIDED TO INVESTIGATE WHY THE CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN SMOKING. HE DECIDED TO LET THE CAR IDLE IN THE SHOP TO SEE IF IT WOULD START SMOKING. AS MOMENTS PASSED THE MECHANIC TOLD ME HE HEARD A 'FIRECRACKER' SOUND AND LOOKED TO SEE THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT REASON. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC TO TAKE IT TO A CHEVY DEALER. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND TOLD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THIS STORY AND THEY WERE UNSURE WHY THIS WOULD HAPPEN. THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT YET HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THE DEALER OR MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO RECTIFY IT WITHOUT COST TO THE OWNER. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE HORROR THAT WOULD HAVE ENSUED IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING.

BLOWER MOTOR THAT DEFROST WINDSHIELD CUTS IN AND OUT. NEED TO RUN ON HIGH TO KEEP IT WORKING. TODAY IT TOTALLY CUT OUT WILL DRIVING ON FREEWAY

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY HUSBAND, THREE SMALL CHILDREN AND UNBORN CHILD WHEN MY EQUINOX SHUT OFF I'M THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING AND WHITE SMOKE APPEARED FROM UNDER THE HOOD. IT WOULD START BUT AS SOON AS I PUT IT INTO GEAR THE ENGINE WOULD CUT OFF. FINALLY THE ENGINE JUST COMPLETELY STOPPED CUTTING ON. MY HUSBAND, A POLICE OFFICER AND A GOOD SAMARITAN WERE ABLE TO PUSH THE CHEVY OFF THE ROAD INTO THE DITCH SAFELY. THE CHEVY THEN HAD TO BE TOWED TO A CAR SHOP TO GET LOOKED AT. THIS VEHICLE CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING IT!!! WITH CHILDREN IN THE BACK. THEN ENGINE BLEW A HOLE THROUGH IT. LESS THAN 200,000 MILES ON IT WITH BRAND NEW SPARK PLUGS AND A FRESH OIL CHANGE. CERTAIN MODELS OF CHEVY HAVE AN ENGINE DEFECT WHICH IS INTERNALLY IN THE ENGINE. YOUR VEHICLE WILL BURN OIL WITH NO OIL LIGHT COMING ON TO LET YOU KNOW. THERE'S NO LEAK COMING FROM ANYWHERE. THE ENGINE JUST DRINKS IT ALL UP WITHIN A FEW DAYS AND THEN WILL BLOW UP IF YOU'RE NOT KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT VEHICLES. I WAS ON A BUSY ROAD WHEN ALL OF THIS HAPPENED. WE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED IF IT WASN'T FOR US GOING LESS THAN THE SPEED LIMIT.

THE AUTOMOTIVE TROUBLE CODE P2135 THROTTLE/PEDAL POSITION SENSOR/SWITCH A/B VOLTAGE CORRELATION REFERS TO A PROBLEM RELATED TO THE THROTTLE'S ABILITY TO OPEN AND CLOSE PROPERLY. ... A THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS) IS SITUATED OPPOSITE THE THROTTLE LINKAGE CONNECTION ON THE THROTTLE PLATE. WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN AN ALARM WENT OFF ON MY DASH SAYING A SENSOR WAS BAD. NEXT THING THE CAR SAID LOSING POWER TO ENGINE AND MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AND DECELERATING.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING OR ANY EVIDENCE OF PROBLEM I TURNED THE CORNER OF A INTERSECTION AND THE ENGINE WHILE STILL RUNNING LOST ALL POWER FOR ACCELERATION. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO INJURY TO MYSELF OR THE VEHICLE. I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART , THERE SEEMED TO BE NO PRESSURE IT WAS LATER DETERMIN HAT THE TIMING CHAIN AND CAMSHAFT BROKE SENDING METAL THROUGH OUT THE ENGINE. RESULTING IN THE NEED FOR A NEW ENGINE. THIS IS PROBLEM CAUSE BY THE OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE WHICH I DID HAVE REPAIRED. THE OIL WAS FULL AND TRUCK DROVE GREAT ONE MINUTE THEN THE NEXT MINUTE THE ENGINE WAS GONE CHEVY NEEDS TO EVALUATE AND HELP CONSUMERS WITH THESE TYPE PROBLEM RELATED TO KNOWN RECALLS. WE HAVE INVESTED OR MONEY IN A PRODUCT THAT FAILS US DUE TO ENGINEERING ISSUES CAUSING THE CONSUMER ADDED EXPENSES

CAR WILL STOP AFTER PRESSING THE BREAK. WIPERS NO LONGER WORK. NOW CAR WON'T START DUE TO TIMING BELT

I HAVE TO REPLACE THROTTLE BODY BECAUSE MY CAR WOULD JUST STALL WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS WELL AS REPLACING MY MUFFLER. CURRENTLY I HAVE A NEW SET OF BRAKES THAT SQUEAL LIKE NO TOMORROW AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT JUST CAME ON GIVING ME CODES TO REPLACE 2 CAMSHAFT POSITIONING SOLENOID ACTUATOR AND FINALLY THE CAR IT TURNING INTO A COMPLETE RUST BUCKET. .

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE DOORS ARE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THEMSELVES, RADIO AND HEAT TURNS OFF AND ON, BLINKERS NOT WORKING,HEADLIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES, AIRBAG, STABILITY CONTROL AND ABS FLASH ON AND OFF ON DASH. RPM AND SPEEDOMETER ARE AT ZERO WHILE DRIVING AND ACCELERATING, GAS HAND SHOWS ON LOW FUEL WHEN THERE'S GAS ON THE CAR. TOOK TO HAVE VEHICLE SCANNED AND ALTERNATOR IS READING AT TOO HIGH VOLTAGE AND REVIVED 15 ERROR CODES ALL RELATING TO SPEED SENSOR, ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODEL MALFUNCTION, POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE AND CAMSHAFT POSITION CIRCUIT ERRORS ETC.

GENERAL MOTORS HAVE BEEN AT NO ASSISTANCE TO ME SINCE MY PURCHASE OF MY 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX I PURCHASED IT FEBRUARY/MARCH OF 2016 AND HAVE HAD CONTINUOUS ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE, I CONTACTED THE PLACE OF PURCHASE AND GENERAL MOTORS NUMEROUS TIMES ABOUT THE COMPLAINT OF MY VEHICLE. ALSO WITH THE ATTACHED PROOF OF REPAIRS I REFERRED TO THE DEALERS WHO DID THE REPAIRS AND GENERAL MOTORS OF ANY CURRENT RECALLS. BACK IN OCTOBER 2019 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BECAUSE MY CONVERTER WENT OUT AND MY 100K WARRANTY EXPIRED, GM WAS NOT IN UNDERSTANDING AND WOULD NOT ASSIST. THEN I DID MY OWN RESEARCH AND FOUND THERE WAS A OIL CONSUMPTION LAW SUITE AND A SEPARATE SPECIAL EXTENDED WARRANTY IN THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER BUT ONLY UNTIL 120K. MY ISSUE IS GENERAL MOTORS WILL NOT ASSIST ME DUE TO ME BEING OVER THE 120K MILEAGE EVEN THOUGH I INQUIRED ABOUT IT TIME AFTER TIME SINCE THE TIME I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE KEPT UP TO DATE IN MY ADDRESS EVEN WHEN I MOVED OUT OF STATE. I'M JUST LOOKING FOR ASSISTANCE IN WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE LAW SUITE OR COVERED WITH THE SPECIAL WARRANTY WITH MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY MAIL NOTIFICATION AND ALL MY REPAIRS WERE DONE AT A LICENSED CERTIFIED GENERAL MOTOR DEALER AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE/RECALLS AND I WAS NOT TOLD OF THE ISSUES. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED SINCE I SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON IT AS IT IS. I HAD TO DO MY OWN RESEARCH ONLINE TO FIND THIS INFORMATION WHICH COULD OF BEEN AVOIDED IF I WAS CONTACTED FRONT THE BEGINNING. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF A RECALL BUT ONCE BACK IN 2016 FOR A WINDSHIELD WIPER RECALL

I BOUGHT MY USED 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX FROM THE DEALER, AND 2 WEEKS LATER THE SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY DID AN ALIGNMENT AND THE SAME DAY THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON WITH TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO THE GROCERY STORE, AND WHEN I TRIED TO START IT TO LEAVE IT WOULDN'T START. AFTER 2 TRIES, IT FINALLY STARTED BUT THEN THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULDN'T GO ABOVE 25 MPH. EVENTUALLY THE VEHICLE POWERED DOWN AND I HAD TO PULL OVER FOR A TOW TRUCK TO COME. THE CHEVY DEALER SAID IT WAS THE MAIN TIMING CHAIN (NOT COVERED) AND SOMETHING ELSE IN THE ENGINE BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR LABOR TO DISASSEMBLE IT. MY CAR HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE AND SITTING AT THE DEALER FOR NOW 10 DAYS. LUCKILY I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED, AND DECIDED TO GO TO THE STORE BEFORE HEADING TO WORK. CARFAX REPORTS INDICATE THE TIMING CHAIN AND FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED AT 40,000 MILES ALREADY. I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM IN MUCH SCARIER SITUATIONS. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS.

VEHICLE IS EXHIBITING STALL AND QUITTING ACTIONS AT STOP LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS. ALSO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION HAVING TO CHANGE OIL OR ADD OIL

MY ENGINE HAS BEEN BURNING OIL EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO. IT IS A 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX, WHICH I BOUGHT USED FROM A DEALERSHIP. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT WAS JUST ACCEPTED FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF COST ASSOCIATED WITH PREVIOUS REPAIR, DUE TO THE OIL BURNING. ALTHOUGH, I NEVER HAD TO PAY TO GET IT REPAIRED SINCE I WAS PUTTING IN OIL ABOUT EVERY WEEK TO TWO WEEKS SINCE I FOUND THE ISSUE. I'M VERY UPSET, BECAUSE THE ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR EVERYBODY WHO HAS THE ISSUE TO BE ABLE TO GET IT REPAIRED. SINCE THE OIL ISSUE IS KNOWN AND A CLASS LAWSUIT HAS BEEN FILED AND ACCEPTED, IT SHOULD GO FOR ALL VEHICLES, NOT JUST THE VEHICLES PEOPLE DIDN'T LOOK AFTER AND LET THEM BRAKE. THE OIL BURNING ISSUE IS VERY BAD AND IT WILL COST ME A LOT OF MONEY TO GET FIXED. THEREFORE, IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AND I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED FOR FREE AS IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, MESSAGE THEN APPEARED THAT ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED AND SPEED IMMEDIATELY DROPPED TO AROUND 15 MPH AND THEN TO A ROUGH IDLE AT APPROX 5-10MPH. WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY VEHICLE TRAVELING BEHIND ME. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP REMAINING 2 MILES HOME AND CONTACTED DEALER. APPOINTMENT WAS MADE AND DEALER REPORTED CODE P2135 AND REPLACED THROTTLE BODY..DEALER SAID THROTTLE DIDN'T KNOW UP FROM DOWN. DEALER STATED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE EQUINOX. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER OWNERS REPORTING BEING PUT IN A DANGEROUS POSITION WITH THE SUDDEN DROP IN SPEED LIKE WE WERE. I CONTACTED CHEVY GM AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS. IF RAPID ACCELERATION HAS BEEN TREATED BY OTHER COMPANIES AS RECALL WORTHY, I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY CHEVY DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS RECALL WORTHY. I HAVE ATTACHED THE REPAIR REPORT WITH THIS COMPLAINT.

ON 1/16/20, I USED MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO CLEAR SNOW OFF OF MY WINDSHIELD WHILE THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. IT WIPED CORRECTLY A FEW TIMES, BUT ON THE FOURTH WIPE, I HEARD A 'THWACK' TYPE OF NOISE, AND THE WIPERS STOPPED IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION BY THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I TRIED TO TURN THE WIPERS ON AGAIN, BUT THEY WOULD NOT MOVE. I MANUALLY PUSHED THE WIPERS DOWN INTO THE RESTING POSITION, AND THEN TRIED TO TURN THE WIPERS ON AGAIN. THEY STILL WOULDN'T MOVE. I HAVE TRIED TURNING THE WIPERS ON EACH DAY SINCE THE 16TH, AND EACH TIME, THE WIPERS WILL NOT MOVE. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE.

FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AFTER STARTING

I BOUGHT THE CAR 2 YEARS AGO, IN WHICH THE VEHICLE HAD/HAS NONCONFORMED ISSUES SINCE THE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE SALE OF PURCHASE. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP (AND IS CURRENTLY THERE) FOR 2 YEARS. I HAVE BEEN PAYING FOR MY OWN TRANSPORTATION(LYFT, CAR RENTALS, ETC) IN ADDITION TO MY CAR PAYMENTS FOR OVER A YEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE AND FAILED TO EXCEED 25 MPH. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO RALPH SELLERS CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 15015 FLORIDA BLVD, BATON ROUGE, LA 70819, (225) 238-1672). THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT AN UNKNOWN TRANSMISSION COMPONENT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. THE VEHICLE REPAIR LASTED ONE DAY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000. *DT*JB

CHANGED WINDSHIED MOTORS AND THE GO RIGHT BACK TO NOT WORKING WITHIN A WEEK.. HERE RECENTLY IVE HAD TO PUT A EXTREME AMOUT OF OIL IN IT ITS LOSING OIL OUT OF NO WHERE CAN DRIVE 5 MILES DOWN THE ROAD AND THEN ITS GONE NOW IT HAS STARTED TO SMOKE REALLY BAD WHEN I DRIVE IT AFTER OIL IS IN AND HAS NOW GOT THE CAR TO START A SMALL KNKCK IT HAS BEEN PARKED FOR THE TIME BEING FOR SCARED OF IT DOING WORSE ITS BEEN PARKED SINCE IT STARTED TO SMOKE.. IT WILL LOSE POWER AT SUM POINTS AND NOT LET ME DRIVE FASTER THEN 25 MPH THEN ALL THE SUDDEN PICK BACK UP AND ACT JUST FINE..THE CAR WILL SMOKE SO BAD THAT ANOTHER CAR BEHIND ME WILL HAVE TO STOP COMPLETELY AND WAIT UNTIL SMOKE IS CLEAR.. ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASH IS ALSO ON

IN MOTION VEHICLE WOULD NOT GET OUT OF SECOND GEAR FORWARD AND REVERSE, TECHNICIAN STATES WAVE PLATE BROKEN THIS WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANT IN 2014

FEBRUARY 2018 BOTH OF MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF A STORM AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. I TOOK MY CAR TO PEP BOYS AND THEY ORDERED THE PARTS TO REPLACE IN ORDER FOR MY WIPERS TO WORK AGAIN. HERE I AM IN DECEMBER 2019 ALMOST TWO YEARS LATER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE WIPERS IN THIS VEHICLE ARE DEFECTIVE AND SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY GOING TO GET INJURED OR KILLED IF THEY DO NOT RECALL THE WIPERS FOR FAULTY MOTORS THAT WILL QUIT WORKING AT ANY TIME. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IF IT WILL POSSIBLY RAIN BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO PUT MY KIDS OR MY LIFE IN DANGER. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AND GM NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS HUGE ISSUE!

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON NOT SAFE TO DRIVE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. WHILE DRIVING HOME, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,096.

A CODE RANDOMLY APPEARS ON THE DASH WHILE DRIVING. IT'S SAYS TO SERVICE THE POWER STEERING. WHEN THIS POPS UP YOU LOSE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY. IF YOU ARE IN A MIDDLE OF A TURN, YOU CAN LOSE CONTROL OF YOUR CAR. THIS HAS ALMOST HAPPENED TO ME. THIS CODE WILL STAY ON THE SCREEN THEN RANDOMLY GOES AWAY AND POWER STEERING RETURNS. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CODE WILL POP UP WHEN YOUR DRIVING AND SAME RESULT, NO POWER STEERING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING AND THIS HAPPENS.

WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, I WAS NOT TOLD THAT THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED. I HAVE REPLACED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD 2 TIMES. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THERE IS METAL FRAGMENTS IN MY OIL. THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE.

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK BUT THEY ARE SAYING THEY FIXED STUFF THAT NOBODY HAS TOUCHED. ATTACHED WILL BE THEIR RECALL. AND SECOND A PHOTO SHOWING NOBODY FIXED IT, LITTLE LONE TOUCHED IT FOR REPAIR. SCAMMING CUSTOMERS. I CANNOT GET MY TIRES TO SYNC TO THE VEHICLE EITHER. BOTH SAFETY.

DEFROST IS NOT WORKING. ONLY BLOWS OUT OF FRONT VENTS.

I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY AND THESE LIGHTS POPPED ON OUT OF NO WHERE THE EXHAUST RESGINATOR CRACKING THE CAR CONSTANTLY HAS WHEEL BEARING ISSUE AND THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL IT'S NOT DOING WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO DO WITH IT.I WAS DRIVING ON THE L-90 THRUWAY AT 65 MPH. I. AM ALSO HAVING HEAD LIGHT BLOWING I HAVE CHANGED THE HEADLIGHTS 4 TIMES THIS YEAR

EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACK WHICH IS A RECURRING FAILURE. WILL BE REPLACING THE MANIFOLD FOR THE 4TH TIME THAT SHOULD NEVER FAIL. PHOTO ATTACHED FROM ONE OF THE FAILURES. EXHAUST FUMES ENTER THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED PER A MANUFACTURER RECALL REGARDING FUEL CONSUMPTION AT BILL STASEK CHEVROLET (700 W DUNDEE RD, WHEELING, IL 60090, (224) 434-4677). PRIOR TO THE RECALL, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEFROSTER, HEATER, INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING, AND RADIO CONTROLS BECAME INOPERATIVE INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT ASKED THE DEALER TO REMEDY THE FAILURES; HOWEVER, THEY COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE DEFECTS WERE NEVER REMEDIED. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V489000(VISIBILITY), WHICH SHE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FAILURES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 56,000. *DT *DL

I GOT INTO MY CAR FRIDAY AT 12:30 SHUT THE DOOR STARTED IT AND THE SIDE AIRBAG HIT ME SHOVED ME SIDEWAYS I TURN THE CAR OFF BECAUSE I COULD SMELL THE POWDER AND I WAS AFRAID ANOTHER ONE WOULD GO OFF. MY ARM AROUND THE ELBOW AREA HURTS AND MY ARM FEELS BURNED FROM ABOUT MY ARMPIT TO MY WRIST. BETWEEN MY SHOULDER BLADES AND MY NECK HURT AND I'VE HAD A HEADACHE SINCE. I DEPEND ON MY CAR BEING ON THE AMBULANCE AND THE DEPUTY CORONER FOR BOISE COUNTY I COULD BE IN MY CAR DURING THE DAY OR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND I'M AFRAID NOW TO DRIVE IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING DURING A SNOWSTORM, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY FAILED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE LINKAGE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED WHILE DRIVING DURING A SNOWSTORM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 187,000.

WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY AND HAD TO PULL OVER FOR A POLICE OFFICER TO PASS BY, WENT TO ACCELERATE AND WAS STUCK IN 2ND GEAR. LATER FOUND THAT ONLY 1ST AND 2ND GEAR WORKED AND HAD NO REVERSE. WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD NEED A COMPLETE REBUILD OF THE TRANSMISSION.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BROKE IN TWO PIECES. SAME PROBLEM REPLACED BEFORE ON A 2010 GMC ACADIA WITH THE SAME 2.4L. EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE BREAKING IN THE EXACT SAME WAY AT SIMILAR MILEAGES. ~120,000 MILES

DRIVING IN VERY RAINY CONDITIONS WITH MY WIPERS ON. SUDDENLY, THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AND STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION WHILE I WAS DRIVING. LUCKILY I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE HIGHWAY ONTO A 45 MPH ROAD. I TRIED TURNING THEM OFF AND ON AGAIN, BUT THEY WOULDN'T MOVE AT ALL. I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING AT ALL (DANGEROUS AND TERRIFYING) SO I PUT ON MY HAZARDS AND PULLED OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I MANUALLY PUT THE WIPERS BACK DOWN. I TRIED TURNING THEM ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES, AND AGAIN THEY WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL.

ALOT IS GOING ON WITH MY 2010 CHEV MY EXHAUST PIPE CRACK AND I WAS TOLD THAT IS A REAL PROBLEM WITH CHEVY'S MY CAR IS CONSUMING WAY TO MUCH OIL I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO GET OIL CHANGES. MY DRIVER SIDE HEAD LIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT I'M CHANGING MY HEAD LIGHT 2-3 TIMES A YEAR. I REPLACED MY SPARK PLUGS AND COILS A FEW MONTHS AGO AND MY CAR WHEN I'M DRIVING IT WILL STOP AND THE WHEEL WILL LOCK UP WHILE I'M DRIVING IT .

MY CAR JUST SUDDENLY LOST SPEED, WOULDN'T SHIFT AND WAS STUCK AT A STOP, WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED REPLACING BECAUSE THE SOLENOIDS WERE STUCK. HE ALSO SAID THIS USUALLY HAPPENS IN MOST GM ENGINES.

EXCESS OIL CONSUMPTION 1 QUART PER 1000 MILES 2010 EQUINIX ARE WELL KNOWN FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION

MY CAR STARTED ITSELF WHEN THE KEY WAS IN MY POCKET AND I WAS AT THE REAR OF THE CAR UNLOADING. I DO NOT HAVE A KEYLESS ENTRY OR STARTING FEATURE ON MY CAR. I WAS PARKED AT OUR COMMUNITY GARDEN AND MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE UNLOADING GARDEN TOOLS, SO WE WERE TOUCHING THE CAR AND FELT IT WHEN IT FIRED UP. IT WAS AN UNDERWEAR CHANGING MOMENT.

ENGINE'S OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES ARE RIDICULOUS. GM HAS A SPECIAL EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS VEHICLE, CALLED ADJUSTMENT 14159, BUT FAILED TO NOTIFY ME OF THE SPECIAL RECALL AND IT'S END DATE OF 7/31/2019. THIS ENGINE IS AWFUL, HENCE WHY THERE WERE RECALLS AND THEY ARE NOW BEING SUED FOR IT. TIMING CHAINS, ENGINE KNOCKING, OIL CONSUMPTION, PISTONS AND RINGS.. SECONDLY, THE TRANSMISSION IS AWFUL. THIS THING BLEW BEFORE IT WAS EVEN DUE FOR ITS FIRST SERVICE! MY OWNERS MANUAL STATES THE SERVICE IS RECOMMENDED ON IT, INCLUDING FLUID CHANGE, AT 100,000 MILES - I'M AT 96,125 MILES AND THIS IS WHERE I SIT. GM IS DENYING ALL LIABILITY FOR BOTH OF THESE.

WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. WIPER TRANSMISSION BUSHING FAILURE. DRIVING DURING RAINSTORM WIPERS FAILED.

ENGINE HAS MAJOR OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES. I AM BURNING THROUGH AN AVERAGE OF 2 TO 3 QUARTERS OF FULL SYNTHETIC OIL WITHIN A 2500 MILE SPAN. SECONDLY, THE TRANSMISSION IS EXTREMELY POOR. ONLY 96,000 MILES AND AM ALREADY HAVE ISSUES IN REVERSE, TROUBLE GOING UP HILLS, HIGH RPM'S, AND SHAKING/SPUTTERING. THIS WOULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME ONCE OUT OF PARK, FLAT LAND OR HILL.

BOUGHT A USED CHEVY EQUINOX AND THE MANIFOLD CRACKED, COSTLY REPAIR THAT I WAS INFORMED SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING SAFETY ISSUE BEING ADDRESSED 10 PLUS TIMES A MONTH BY THIS CENTER ALONE. AS THIS SEEMS TO BE A FREQUENT AND KNOWN DEFECT THAT CAN CAUSE DEATH IF NOT FOUND AND FIXED I BELIEVE THAT CHEVY SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THE SAFETY CONCERN AND ISSUE A RECALL RATHER THAN WAITING TO SEE PEOPLE PASS AWAY BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD OR ARE UNAWARE OF THE DANGER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START WITHOUT WARNING. WALLY EDGAR CHEVROLET (3805 S LAPEER RD, ORION CHARTER TOWNSHIP, MI 48360, 248-494-8698) WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD BE COVERED UNDER A POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THE CONTACT PURCHASED AN ELECTRICAL BOX FROM THE DEALER TO REPAIR THE ENGINE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE BOX DID NOT ASSIST WITH THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN FOUR DAYS LATER WITHOUT WARNING. SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HAS HAD THE ENGINE, FUEL PUMP, ELECTRIC LINE, DOORS, AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WHILE AT A STOP SIGN, DURING RAINY WEATHER, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED. THE CONSUMER CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE BEGAN SMOKING. THE CONSUMER HAD HEADACHES, BACK/NECK/SHOULDER PAINS, AND WHIPLASH. *JS

OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAVE TO PUT OIL IN IT EVERY TWO WEEK BECAUSE OIL IS EMPTY. IT DOES NOT LEAK AND THE VEHICLE IS PART OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT 4 OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES. I CALLED CHEVROLET THEY ONLY WANT TO COVER HALF THE PARTS TO REPAIR WHICH WILL COST ME AN ADDITIONAL $3,000. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE TIMING CHAIN AT $1,800 AND THE TRANSMISSION AT ANOTHER $3,700.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK (5:30PM, 9/5/2019), IN PREPARATION FOR TROPICAL STORM DORIAN ON HWY 70 BYPASS IN NC, MY WIPERS, WHICH WERE IN USE ON THE HIGH SPEED SETTING DUE TO HEAVY RAIN POUR, SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. I WAS FORCED TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY DUE TO ZERO VISIBILITY. THIS SUDDEN/IMMEDIATE PULL OVER ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT ANOTHER CAR THAT WAS MERGING INTO THE TURNING LANE. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, THE PROBLEM IS BELIEVED TO BE THE WIPE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY AS THE ACTUAL WIPER FUSES AND MOTOR IS STILL IN FUNCTIONING ORDER. A NEW WIPER TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY WAS PURCHASED AS RECCOMENDED

WAS DRIVING WITH DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND WENT TO GO INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY WHEN IT STOPPED. CARS HAD TO GO AROUND ME AND I WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. HAD A FRIEND TOW IT HOME AND FOUND OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS COMPLETELY REBUILT. WHEN CALLING AROUND TO FIND REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSIONS, BECAUSE THE CAR IS SO SPECIFIC AND THERE ARE SO MANY TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL, THERE ARE ONLY 2 POSSIBLE TRANSMISSIONS IN AN ENTIRE SPAN OF 3 STATES. THIS IS MAKING IT ALSO NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO REPLACE AS WELL AS AFFORDABLE.

CAR WAS DYING WHEN I TRIED TO PULL OUT ONTO THE ROAD, CITY STREET FROM A STOP SIGN.WAS ALMOST HIT. MY GRANDAUGHTER IS JUST LEARNING TO DRIVE AND I AM SCARED TO DEATH TO LET HER DRIVE IT . RUNNING AFTER KEY TAKEN OUT, RUNNING VERY RUFF. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT GOING ON & OFF AS WELL AS STABLI TRAC WARNING.SMELLED LIKE CATALYTIC CONVERTOR BURNING TOOK TO DEALER TO HAVE DIAGOSED AND THEY SAID HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ENGINE HAD HIGH CONTENT OF FUEL SCANNED AND HAD EXCESSIVE AMAOUNT OF RICH CODES AND MISFIRE CODESTHAT THERE WAS FUEL GETTING IN MY OIL SAID THERE WAS A RECALL BUT NOT ON MY VIN. SAW OTHER COMPLAINTS SAME PROBLEM THAT WERE TOLD VIN WASN'T RIGHT. COST ME $500.00 TO FIX BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND HAD TO GET A NEW ENGINE AT 62,000 AND NEW PISTONS & CRACKED MANIFOLD REPLACED AT 102,000. I HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO DEALER A FEW YEARS AGO FOR SAME ISSUE AND ENGINE LIGHT HAD GONE OFF AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. OUT OF WARRANTY NOW AND FINALLY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM.GETTING READY TO BUY 2 CARS AND I WILL NEVER BY ANOTHER CHEVY OR GM CAR AGAIN .GOING WITH THE FOREIGNS. I THINK THESE CARS ARE ALL LEMONS.I HAVE SEEN OTHERS THAT WERE ALSO TOLD WRONG VIN BUT SAME ISSUE, NEEDS INVESTIGATED. I HAVE ALREADY RECIEVED INVITATION FOR CLASS ACTION SUIT ON THIS DARN CAR! REALLY

WHILE THE WIPERS WERE IN THE FASTEST MODE THEY SUDDENLY STOPPED MOVING AND THEY WOULD NOT LOWER BACK INTO POSITION. I CAN'T GET THE WIPERS TO OPERATE AT ALL. I CAN'T OPERATE THE VEHICLE IF IT'S RAINING BECAUSE I CAN'T WIPE THE RAIN OFF.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THEN TURN OFF AFTER A COUPLE DAYS THIS HAPPEN FOR A FEW MONTHS AND THEN NOW IT'S ON PERMANENTLY I CHECKED WITH ONSTAR AND HAD THEM RUN A TEST AND IT SAYS MY EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEM IS IN TROUBLE I DO NOT UNDERSTAND BECAUSE I USE GOOD FUEL I MAINTAIN MY ORIOLE AND MY MAINTENANCE ON MY VEHICLE AT ALL TIMES AND IT IS A FAIRLY NEW EQUINOX I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL OVER AND WAIT FOR THE RAIN TO STOP. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO DRIVE HOME, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 95,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE INOPERABLE DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. THE CONTACT COULD NOT SEE THE ROADWAY AT ALL. THE FAILURE WAS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 153,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WITH MY DAUGHTER IN MY CAR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH CONSTRUCTION ALL AROUND AND IT BEGAN TO RAIN HEAVILY SO I TURNED ON THE WIPERS AND THE WIPERS WENT UP AND STOPPED RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE, I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE PEOPLE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN WITH NO WARNING LIGHT OR ALARM OR ANYTHING. I WAS TERRIFIED!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING HOME IN A RAINSTORM, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS MALFUNCTIONED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN UNKNOWN RECALL PERTAINING TO THE FAILURE, BUT IT APPLIED TO CANADIAN VEHICLES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

MY DRIVER SEAT IS STUCK IN THE FORWARD POSITION. IT WILL NOT GO BACKWARDS. IT WILL GO UP AND DOWN BUT NOT BACKWARDS.

THE CAR WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE GEAR AND ONLY HAD 1ST AND 2ND GEAR IN FORWARD

CAR SLOWED DOWN DURING DRIVING, I PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO CHANGE GEARS; UNABLE TO DO SO, I CALLED THE PICK UP TRUCK, AFTER THEY CHECKED THE CAR THEY SAID THE PROBLEM WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND I SHOULD CALL THE DEALER BECAUSE OF THE LOW MILLAGE AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS FULL.

TIMING AND OR BALANCE CHAIN TO THE ENGINE IS STRETCHED AND COULD RESULT IN BREAKAGE. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS ENGINE AS REPORTED IN GM SPECIAL COVERAGE 12312D THAT SPECIFICALLY COVERS 2010-2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX, ALONG WITH 3 OTHER MODEL VEHICLES. MY VIN IS NOT FLAGGED AS PART OF THIS SPECIAL COVERAGE ALTHOUGH IT IS CAUSING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR AS DEPICTED IN THE SPECIAL COVERAGE.

MY 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX WAS RUNNING FINE AND OUT OF THE SUDDEN, IT STOPPED AND WENT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT REFUSED TO START AGAIN. I HAVE RECENTLY DONE AN OIL CHANGE AND THE WAS NO WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD TO INDICATE ANY PROBLEM. I BOUGHT THIS CAR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND THIS TOOK PLACE. THIS CAR WAS WELL MAINTAINED, OIL CHANGES AND OTHER MAINTENANCE WERE DONE ON TIME. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND WHILE THE MECHANICS WERE TRYING TO MAKE IT START, IT WILL NOT START. THEY (MECHANICS) CALLED THE DEALER AND SOMEONE FROM THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS COVERED UNDER MANUFACTURER WARRANTY SO I SHOULD TAKE THE CAR TO THEM FOR THEIR TECHNICIANS TO DO A TEST. AFTER THE TEST THEY SAID IT WAS A LOW ENGINE KNOCK AND I WILL HAVE TO GET ANOTHER ENGINE BY MYSELF BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER DOESN'T COVER IT. DON'T KNOW WHO TO BELIEVE NOW. MY CAR THAT I JUST BOUGHT IS DOWN AND I'M STUCK IN THIS TERRIBLE SITUATION.

OIL CONSUMPTION. I'VE SPEND 2K IN REPAIRS OVER THIS PAST YEAR FOR OIL CONSUMPTIONS PROBLEMS AND IT STILL CONSUME AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL, TO THE POINT I HAVE TO ADD A QUART A WEEK TO STOP THE OIL FROM EXTREMELY RUNNING LOW.

AT 58569 MILES THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, GASKET, AND NUT WERE REPLACED. I BEGAN COMPLAINING ABOUT OIL CONSUMPTION AT 72388 MILES. AT 77313, THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHING. THE DEALER GOT THE CODE P0300. THERE WAS A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER #2. THE DEALER REPLACED THE #2 COIL AND GASKET AS WELL AS THE SPARK PLUGS. AT 91968 MILES THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPLACED. AT 103123 MILES THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THROTTLE BODY GASKET REPLACED. AT 105185 MILES THE ENGINE LIGHT ON AGAIN. REPLACEDSPARK PLUGS, REPROGRAMED ECM AND TCM. THERE WAS A MISFIRE IN CYLINDERS 1-3-AND 5. THE DEALER ALSO PERFORMED MAJOR THROTTLE BODY SERVICE AND CLEANED THE INTAKE. AT 112358 MILES THE CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHING AND DEALER SAID A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER #4 AND OIL WAD FOUND IN #2 SPARK PLUG WELL. I CHECK MY OIL LEVEL EVERY WEEK AND HAVE BEEN DOING SO FOR MONTHS. I AM PUTTING IN AT LEAST 1 1/2 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY MONTH. I CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 3500 MILES WHETHER THE VEHICLE INDICATES THE NEED OR NOT. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ON DIFFERENT WEBSITES. THE DEALERS RESPONSE IS THAT THEY CAN GET ME INTO A NEW EQUINOX. IT SEEMS THAT THIS OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM IS KNOWN BY CHEVY BUT THIS SUV HAS NEVER BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM.

NHTSA REFERENCE #: 10081067 TSB REFERENCE #: G-205009 SPECIAL COVERAGE #: 14232A AFTER THE DEALER REPLACED THE PARTS ON MY VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL IS STILL STICKING AND THE DEALER IS REQUESTING THAT ADDITIONAL PART(S) FROM THE STEERING WHEEL BE REPLACED AT MY OWN EXPENSES. I DO BELIEVE THAT ANY ADDITIONAL PARTS REQUIRED TO MAKE THE VEHICLE SAFE SHOULD BE AT THE MANUFACTURER EXPENSES. THE TROUBLESHOOTING WAS NOT DONE THE RIGHT WAY IN ORDER TO ISOLATE THE COMPONENTS.

SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED GOING DOWN ROAD FOR NO REASON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE AND STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED, AND THE ENGINE WOULD STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FERMAN CHEVROLET (9751 ALAMO DR, TAMPA, FL) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

NUMBER ONE EXCESSIVE OIL STARTED AT ABOUT 55,000 MILES. NUMBER TWO EXCESSIVE ENGINE NOISE FROM TIMING CHAIN AND CAM SEIZURES. NUMBER THREE TRANSMISSION FAILURE 52,000 MILES. NUMBER 4 WIPER TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT APPROXIMATELY 48000 MILES NUMBER 5 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON DUE TO FAULTY CAM ACTUATORS.

DRIVER SIDE WIPER STOPPED WORKING

'OIL CONSUMPTION AND DRIVEABILITY , VEHICLE USING MORE THAN ONE QUART OF OIL EVERY 400 MILES OR LESS, WAS AT BUSY INTERSECTION IN CITY ON MAJOR CITY STREET AND CAR FROZE UP, WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND ALMOST CAUSED ANOTHER VEHICLE TO HIT ME FROM BEHIND. TURNED OFF VEHICLE, THEN TURNED KEY AND IT STARTED LONG ENOUGH TO DRIVE INTO NEAREST PARKING LOT. HAD TO PRESS GAS PEDDLE ALL THE WAY DOWN AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT REVERSE AT AT. TOW TRUCK WAS CALLED AND TOWED TO LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS DUE TO THE 2010 ENGINE THAT IT WAS BUILT WITH. WAS ADVISED TO KEEP WATCH ON OIL UNTIL DECIDE HOW TO FIX ENGINE.

OIL COMSUMPTION, ABS LIGHT WANT GO OFF. STABLEIZER TRACK LIGHT WANT GO OFF AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHT WARNING WITH THE CAR AND THE WIGGLE LINES WNAT GO OFF. NOW MY DASHBORAD BRAKE LIGHT IS ON. EVERY TIME I START THE CAR UP ALL THESE LIGHTS COME ON AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE HAD IT CODED BUT NOTHING COMES UP. AND MY IGNITION IS STARTING TO SLIP WHEN I CRANK IT . IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I AM MOVING OR NOT THE LIGHTS STILL STAY ON.

WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO NEXT GEAR, THEN SEEMED TO JUMP INTO HIGHER GEAR. THIS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST BE HIT BY MOTOR VEHICLE BEHIND ME. SECOND TIME, I WAS TURNING INTO BUSY INTERSECTION AND CAR COMPLETELY STALLED, TURNED OFF KEY AND RESTARTED CAR AND IT WOULD NOT DRIVE OVER 20 MILES AN HOUR SO PULLED INTO PARKING LOT AND WHEEL WAS VERY HARD TO CONTROL. CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. WAS LEFT STRANDED ON SIDE OF ROAD AND HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO CHEVY. HAS OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES BUT RECENTLY PURCHASED CAR AND PASSED DATE FOR RECALLS AND WARRANTY REPAIR. GM NEEDS TO OFFER ALL PREVIOUS EXPIRED TO PEOPLE SUCH AS MYSELF WHO PURCHASE USED VEHICLES THAT WERE NEVER CORRECTED DURING RECALL TIMES.ALSO MY VIN WAS NOT LISTED IN RECALL BUT HAS THE EXACT ISSUES. THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY GM.

I HAVE A 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX AND I JUST GOT IT OUT OF THE SHOP FOR THE 2ND TIME IN 3 WEEKS WITHIN THAT TIME IT BURNED THROUGH ALL THE OIL THAT WAS IN THE ENGINE FROM A BRAND NEW OIL CHANGE. WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH EXTREMELY HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION. WE HAD THE PISTONS & RINGS REPLACED A COUPLE YEARS AGO BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AT ALL. WE REGULARLY CHANGE OUR OIL BUT AT THIS RATE WE NEED TO PUT OIL IN IT WEEKLY. THE MECHANIC TOLD US THAT OUR ENGINE IS ABOUT TO GO OUT BECAUSE OF BURNING OF THE OIL SO FAST. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND NOW. CHANGING JUST THE PISTONS AND RINGS WILL NOT FIX IT. CHEVROLET OWES THIS YEAR OF EQUINOX A NEW, SOLID ENGINE THAT DOESNT EXCESSIVELY BURN OIL AT AN ALARMING RATE. WE HAVE BEEN SET UP TO FAIL BY FINANCING THIS VEHICLE.

I TOOK MY EQUINOX TO THE GARAGE STARTED OUT AS AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE THEN TURNED INTO THE WHOLE MOTOR GETTING REBUILT.

TL* THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF HIS SPOUSE WHO OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WIPER LINKAGE FRACTURED; HOWEVER, THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 132,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I STARTED NOTICING THAT WATER WAS SOAKING THE FLOOR MAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR AFTER IT RAINED OR I WENT THROUGH A CAR WASH. I TOOK THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR IS NOT WELDED PROPERLY FROM THE MANUFACTURER, SO THE SPACE WHERE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN WELDED TOGETHER HAS LEFT HOLES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. THESE HOLES PROVIDE AN AREA WHERE WATER LEAKS INTO THE CAR AND CONTINUOUSLY SOAKS THE FLOORS. THERE IS ALSO INFORMATION FROM GM THAT STATES OTHER 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX CARS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM, SO IT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN AND THE WIPER WENT PAST THE DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD AND JUST STOPPED WORKING. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND WAIT TILL RAIN STOPPED TO DRIVE HOME. THE MOTOR SOUNDS LIKE IT'S WORKING BUT WIPERS WILL NOT MOVE.

MY 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX IS BURNING OIL VERY FAST. I HAVE HAD A MECHANIC AT MY WORK CHECK THE OIL LEVEL EVERY THURSDAY FOR THE LAST MONTH AND ADD APPROXIMATELY 1.5 LITRES EVERY THURSDAY. MY CO-WORKER HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH HER EQUINOX AND IT WAS A RECALL. HER OIL WAS GOING INTO HER FUEL. THIS IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE THAT SEEMS TO BE REOCCURRING. BEFORE REALIZING THAT THE OIL WAS AN ISSUE, MY CAR WOULD AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING- SOMETIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION.

THIS CAR BURNS OIL FAST AND I LEARNED THE HARD WAY. 2 YEARS AFTER BUYING THE CAR ALL THE PISTONS IN THE ENGINE BENT DUE TO LACK OF OIL. WHEN THE CAR WAS GETTING FIXED THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS BONE DRY AND I HAD JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE 2 MONTHS PRIOR. $3,200 LATER THE CAR WAS FIXED, BUT IT STILL HAD ISSUES SHIFTING. IN COLDER WEATHER THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WOULD BARELY MOVE. I HAD NO REAL MECHANICAL ISSUES UNTIL A YEAR LATER. I HAD DRIVEN IT 45 MILES AND STOPPED AT A GAS STATION, WHEN I WENT TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON ALL OF THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS CAME ON AS WELL AS THE 'STABILITRAK' LIGHT AND THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET IT TO MOVE WAS BY TURNING THE TRACTION OFF, AND WAS THANKFULLY ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME. I GOT IT INTO THE GM DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE STABILITY TRACK AND THE CRANKSHAFT NEEDED REPLACED. MY ABS LIGHT WAS STILL FAILING AND I'M TOTAL IT WAS ANOTHER $1,400 OF WORK. NOW THE ENGINE SEEMS TO BE MAKING A CRANKING NOISE. I'M TIRED OF WASTING MONEY ON THIS PIECE OF JUNK!!!!!

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE HEADED HOME FROM ASHTABULA DURING A HEAVY RAIN STORM ON A STATE HIGHWAY 528 N OF PARKMAN, TRAVELING APPROX 45 MPH, WHEN THE WIPER BLADES ABRUPTLY QUIT WORKING! WE WERE IN AMISH TERRITORY (AS IN THE POSSIBILITY OF APPROACHING HORSE-DRAWN BUGGIES) AND OUR VISIBILITY WAS INSTANTLY REDUCED TO ZERO. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON LINE AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT W/ THE2010 EQUINOX AND IT IS DUE TO THE POOR DESIGN (PLASTIC BUSHINGS).

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IN RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED AT THE TOP OF THEIR ROTATION, IMPEDING VIEW, AND NO LONGER MOVED. AFTER RETURNING HOME, HAVING TO DRIVE SLOWLY DUE TO HARD RAIN WITHOUT WIPERS, I TURNED THE WIPERS ON AND NOTICED THEY STILL DIDN'T MOVE. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND WALKED OVER TO WINDSHIELD TO SEE IF I COULD HEAR THE MOTOR WORKING. I COULD HEAR THE MOTOR BUT SAW NO MOVEMENT OF THE WIPERS. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, I FOUND OUT THAT THE LINKAGE BUSHINGS ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION AND I WANTED TO INCLUDE MY COMPLAINT SO CHEVY ISSUES A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WAS CONTACTED TO ASSIST WITH REPAIRING THE VEHICLE ONSITE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 152,000.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 66,000 MILES WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION.

I GOT MY 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX ON JANUARY 4, 2019. EVER SINCE THE SECOND WEEK, I'VE HAD IT I'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH IT AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT JUST BECAUSE I NEEDED A TUNE UP AND OIL CHANGE AFTER I GOT THOSE THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. SO AROUND THE END OF FEBRUARY, I PUT THE SUV IN THE SHOP THEY SAID IT WAS THE WATER PUMP/BALANCE SHAFT CHAIN THE ENTIRE THING COST $669.49. I WAS VERY EXCITED TO GET MY SUV BACK ON MARCH 15, 2019, JUST IN TIME FOR ME TO GO TO OUT OF TOWN JUST TO FIND OUT THE CAR IS MAKING THE SAME NOISE AND DOING THE SAME ROUGH RIDING. I TOOK THE CAR BACK IN THE SHOP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC IN APRIL THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD A LOT OF VEHICLES WITH THE SAME AND TO FILE A COMPLAINT. I PUT THE CAR DOWN SINCE THEN AND IT'S JUST SITTING UNDER GARAGE TAKING MY MONEY. THE CAR ALSO CUT OFF ON ME MULTIPLE TIMES THE LATEST TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE AND IT JUST CUT OFF AND I HAD TO PUT ON HAZARDS AND I ALMOST GOT HIT.

ME AND MY WIFE WERE DRIVING WHEN IT STARTED TO RAIN. SO I TURNED ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THEN IT STARTED TO POUR DOWN AND IT WAS HARD TO SEE. WHEN I TURNED THE WIPERS ON HIGH SPEED WITHIN A FEW MINUTES THEY STOPPED WORKING. THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE WIPERS WERE STUCK IN THE UP POSITION. I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING I THINK GOD I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER.

VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT INTERSECTION. VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE AFTER USING ACCELERATOR, AND THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN AT HIGHER RPM. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE AFTER SHUTTING OFF AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. DURING THE SAME DRIVE I ALSO HAD TROUBLE SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR WITH HIGH RPM BEFORE A MODERATELY HARD SHIFT WHILE ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP. AMBER CHECK ENGINE, BRAKE, AND ABM LIGHTS ALL LIT. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY WITH MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR.

TRANSMISSION IS BAD. WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE IT DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE AND ITS SKIPPING GEARS AND BUCKING PRIOR TO IT FINALLY NO LONGER DRIVEABLE

WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN, THE WIPERS QUIT WORKING. I COULD HEAR THE MOTOR, BUT NO WIPERS

HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION AND LOUD UNKNOWN NOISE FROM ENGINE. THE ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE IT IS GOING TO COME APART WHEN STARTED AND DURING ACCELERATION. THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR IS " 91860 ". THE DEALER PERFORMED AN OIL CONSUMPTION REPORT LAST MAY. SAID THAT IT WAS WITHIN THE REQUIREMENTS SET BY CHEVROLET. ENGINE NOISE HAS INCREASED. I DO NOT FEEL THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS.

I PUT THE CAR IN GEAR, I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND THE RPMS REV UP BUT MY CAR DOES NOT MOVE

I HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR MAY 23RD 2018. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED REPLACING AND LIGHT STILL WILL NOT GO OFF AND CODE WILL NOT DELETE, THE O2 SENSORS KEEP GOING OUT (3 TIMES ALREADY) AND THE CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR SOLENOID VALVE HAS BEEN REPLACED 5 TIMES IN 11 MONTHS. THE OIL CONSUMPTION IS INSANE, I CANNOT MAKE IT TO THE OIL NOTIFICATION THE CAR GIVES ME, WITHOUT PUTTING 3 QTS OF OIL , BEFORE THE NOTIFICATION RECOMMENDS. I HAVE NO OIL LEAK!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECAME INOPERABLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SAFELY LEAVE THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FRONT AND REAR RUSTED SUBFRAME. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE FRONT AND REAR SUBFRAME WAS COMPLETELY ROTTED. THE ROCKER ARMS ON BOTH SIDES WERE EXTREMELY RUSTED AND SOFT. THE BOTTOM OF THE DOORS WERE ALSO ROTTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH OVER A POTHOLE, THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE BECAME FLAT. THE CONTACT USED THE SPARE TIRE AND DROVE THE VEHICLE TO A TIRE FACILITY TO PURCHASE A NEW TIRE. THE MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT THE FRAME AND COMPONENTS WERE SEVERELY RUSTED AND THE CONTROL ARM WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED UNSAFE TO BE DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND THE RPMS INCREASED. THE CONTACT TURNED ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE THREE TIMES AND DROVE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION GETS STUCK AND DOESN'T ALWAYS SHIFT FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. THIS RESULTS IN BEING UNABLE TO ACCELERATE PAST 20-30 MPH UPON TAKEOFF WHICH IS SCARY AND DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY. MY MECHANIC SHOP HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) NEEDS REPLACING. ON 10/14/2016 THERE WAS A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE TCM ON SEVERAL VEHICLES INCLUDING THE 2010-2013 CHEVROLET EQUINOX.GM'S RECALL NUMBERS FOR THIS ARE 50490 AND 50491.

GAS IN MY OIL CAUSED BY A FAULTY FUEL PUMP. THIS IS CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO RUN POORLY AND CONTINUE TO RUN AFTER THE KEY IS REMOVED. THIS EFFECTS THE VEHICLE WHEN RUNNING PARKED OR RUNNING IN ALL GEAR POSITIONS.

THE HEAT AND AIR WILL NOT WORK FOR LONG AND SHORT PERIODS OF TIME. THERE IS A TICKING SOUND, BUT THE HEAT OR AIR WON'T WORK. PERIODICALLY THE SCREEN OF THE RADIO WILL GO OFF AND REMAIN THAT WAY UNTIL THE HEAT OR AIR DECIDES TO WORK AGAIN. IT'S HARD TO DRIVE IN THE RAIN, AND I WILL HAVE TO ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN TO CLEAR THE FOG FROM THE WINDSHIELD. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR.

THE AC IS GIVING ME ISSUES AND I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUES WITH THE AC BREAKING BROKE AFTER CERTAIN MILEAGES!

VEHICLE HESITATES TO ACCELERATE WHILE TRYING TO TAKE OFF AFTER BEING STOPPED. I HAVE TO CHANGE THE OIL EVERY THREE WEEKS AND BY A WEEK AND HALF THE OIL IS 1/4 LESS AND REALLY DARK. THERE'S NO VISIBLE LEAKS OR OIL STAINS ON THE DRIVE WAY.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WILL ACCELERATE REALLY HIGH THEN IT WILL SHIFT AND GO BACK DOWN BUT IT'S DOING IT ALMOST ALL THE TIME KNOW. IT SHOWED NO ERROR CODES WHEN TAKEN IN AND TRANSMISSION FLUID IS GOOD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND FAILED TO IMMEDIATELY RESTART. AFTER SOME TIME, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION; HOWEVER, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ORANGE BUICK GMC (3883 W COLONIAL DR, ORLANDO, FL 32808, (407) 295-8100) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAMSHAFT ACTUATOR SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,274.

TAKATA RECALL: MY CARS ENGINE IS RUNNING EXTREMELY ROUGH, IT'S IDLING VERY "BUMPY" AND SEEMS TO SPUTTER, STALLING OUT (WHILE DRIVING OR STOPPED) AND CONTINUING TO RUN A FEW SECONDS AFTER I TURN IT OFF AND THE CHECK ENGINE KEEPS COMING ON AND GOING OFF. WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH IT, THE TECH EXPLAINED THAT MY HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP IS WHAT IS CAUSING ALL THE ISSUES. I WAS TALKING TO A FRIEND ABOUT IT AND SHE SENT ME A LINK SHOWING ME THAT A RECALL WAS DONE ON MY MAKE AND MODEL SO I CALLED MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY SHOW NOTHING FOR MY VIN. UPON CALLING THE ACTUAL CHEVY NUMBER LISTED ON THE SITE WHERE WE SAW THE RECALL THEY EXPLAINED THAT EVEN THOUGH MY CAR IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES FOR THE PART BEING RECALLED, MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED AND THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING! AFTER FINDING THIS WEBSITE I STARTED READING COMPLAINTS AND THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO ANOTHER PERSON WITH THE SAME VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THESE CARS ARE MADE IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AND THE PARTS IN THOSE LOCATIONS MAY BE MADE DIFFERENTLY THEN THE PARTS IN OTHERS BUT IF WE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, I WOULD THINK THAT ANOTHER INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE OPENED AND ANOTHER RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED INCLUDING ALL VIN'S FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL. IF THIS HAS TO BE PAID OUT OF POCKET A LITTLE HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED TOO. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX.

I ONLY HAVE 99,500 MILES ON MY 2010 EQUINOX RUNNING GOOD AND I KEEP UP ON THE MAINTENANCE AND FOR NO REASON THE TIMING CHAIN STRETCHED AND JUMPED WHEN I WENT TO START IT ONE DAY

I FILED A COMPLAINT 4 DAYS AGO #11182292. I'VE CONTACTED GM AND THEY HAVE NO RECALL ON MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE. THERE WAS A RECALL #090298 DONE FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM I'M EXPERIENCING. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR GM SEEMS WILLING TO INCLUDE MY CAR IN THIS RECALL. I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN LIVING ON A FIXED INCOME. I'M TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS TODAY. I'M ASKING FOR HELP PAYING FOR THIS IF IT IS DIAGNOSED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE VEHICLES THAT WERE RECALLED. ALL THE ITEMS LISTED ON THAT PARTICULAR RECALL # ARE IDENTICAL TYPE IDENTICAL TO WHAT I'M EXPERIENCING. YOUR ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED IN THIS MATTER.

SERVICE STABILITRAK, REDUCED ENGINE POWER, SLAPPING NOISE IN STEERING AS WELL AS MAJOR VIBRATION

THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM INTERMITTENTLY BLOWS EITHER HIGH HEAT OR NO HEAT AT ALL. I FOUND A SAFETY RECALL # 090298 FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM AND CALLED MY DEALER. THEY HAVE NO RECALL FOR THIS AND WON'T FIX IT FOR NO COST UNLESS THEY CAN FIND A RECALL! IF YOU NEED MORE INFORMATION PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. THIS HAPPENS OF COURSE WHEN IN MOTION NO MATTER WHAT TYPE OF STREET OR HIGHWAY I'M ON.

A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED MY USED EQUINOX MY WATER PUMP WENT OUT. WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY REALIZE THAT MY OPINIONS HAVE BEEN WORN AND MY TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AFTER MY ENGINE LIGHT POPPED ON.. THIS CAR HAS BEEN UNRELIABLE ALMOST THE WHOLE TIME I'VE OWNED IT. LAST MARCH I REPLACE THE TIMING CHAIN AGAIN. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I REALIZE THAT MY TIMING CHAIN KEEPS GETTING DESTROYED BECAUSE THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP IS LEAKING GAS INTO MY CRANKCASE. CHEVY HAS PUT OUT A RECALL FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE BUT MY VIN IS NOT LISTED. I'M NOT SURE WHY IT WOULDN'T BE LISTED ESPECIALLY SINCE I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS THAT IS LISTED IN THE BULLETIN.

VEHICLE BEGAN EXPERIENCING STALLING OUT. DETERMINED TO BE CAUSED BY METAL SHAVINGS IN ENGINE. THE ONLY PRIOR ENGINE WORK ON THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN DONE BY CHEVROLET TO ADDRESS A RECALL IN 2013 FOR HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION. THE ENGINE WAS REBUILT IN DECEMBER OF 2013. NO OTHER WORK WAS DONE TO THE ENGINE. THE REPAIR FOR THIS ISSUE WAS REPLACEMENT OF THE ENGINE.

WIPERS SPONTANEOUSLY STOPPED WORKING. MOTOR CONTINUED BUT CONNECTION ASSEMBLY DETERIORATED AND FELL APART. HAD TO REPLACE ENTIRE MOTOR WIPER ASSEMBLY UNIT. THIS OCCURRED IN JUNE OF 2018.

14882 SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT-PLUGGED PCV ORIFICE IN INTAKE MANIFOLD. DEALER IN COLUMBUS NE. 68601 ERNEST AUTO SALES TOLD ME MY 2010 VIN. NUMBER NOT LISTED FOR THE RECALL BACK MAIN SEAL BLOWED OUT NO WARRANTY .I SEE OTHER PEOPLE SAME PROBLEM WITH SEAL AND AGAIN ARE CARS NOT COVERED. I OWN 2 EQUINONS 2010 AND 2018.. MAYBE I NEED TO LOOK AT OTHER BRANDS INSTEAD IF YOU HAVE A KNOW PROBLEM AND WONT STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT THAT'S SAD YOU MAKE YOUR DECISION AND ILL MAKE MINE!!! I WAS DRIVING IT STARTED TO SMOKE A LITTLE PLUS COULD SMELL IT WHEN I STOPED

DRIVING ON STATE HIGHWAY WHEN VEHICLE STARTED ACTING LIKE IT WOULD DIE. I WAS ALMOST HOME AND WHEN I PARKED IT FOUND IT HAD ALMOST NO OIL IN VEHICLE AFTER CHECKING IT BEFORE TRAVELING HOME. OIL LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. MECHANIC SAYS FROZEN PCV VALVE IN REAR CRANKSHAFT; IT COULD HAVE BLOWN AND LEFT ME STRANDED OR IN ACCIDENT; MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS A RECALL BUT MY PARTICULAR VIN WASN'T INCLUDED

WIPERS TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING. TRANSMISSION REVVING HIGH BEFORE SHIFTING. MOTOR TICKING.

WIPER STOPPED WORKING LINKAGE BROKE

WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY DURING A STATE OF EMERGENCY SNOW STORM AND THE WIPERS WENT COMPLETELY OUT I SPINNED AND ALMOST CRASHED. AFTER READING REVIEWS THIS IS COMMON AND GM ONLY RECALLED CERTAIN YEARS AND VIN NUMBERS LEAVING OTHERS TO DEAL WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN. MY SON WAS ALSO IN THE CAR AND A PART OF THE FAULTY WIPER SYSTEM CHEVY IS SELLING TO ITS CUSTOMERS.

BALANCE CHAIN PINS WEAR, ALLOWING THE CHAIN TO STRETCH.CAUSE ENGINE NOISE. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A BRAKE JOB AND SAID THE ENGINE IS MAKING NOISES IT SHOULDN'T BE MAKING.THE ADVISOR SAID THAT'S NOMAL FOR THAT CAR TO MAKE THAT NOISE.IT'S THE SAME RECALL FOR THE 2010-2011 EQUINOX ON THE 2.4L ENGINE.(LAF).THAT YEAR 2010-2011 HAVE A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENTTHE 2014 EQUINOX HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AND YOU NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE PEOPLE PAYING FOR A NO FIX.

THIS IS THE 2ND TIME MY WIPERS HAVE SEIZED WHILE OPERATING DURING A SNOWFALL. IT WAS NOT STORMY BLIZZARD CONDITIONS EITHER JUST HAD THE WIPERS ON SLOW TO CLEAR LIGHT SNOW. I WAS CITY DRIVING BARELY DOING 25 BOTH TIMES. IT HAPPENED LAST APRIL I HAD IT REPAIRED. NOW THEY SEIZED AGAIN LAST NIGHT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZZARD AND I THIS CHEVROLET SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. I HAD LESS THEN 100,000 MILES ON IT THE FIRST TIME AN NOW I HAVE 104,000 AND IT BROKE AGAIN.

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A RAIN STORM ON INTERSTATE 495 SOUTH CAPITAL BELTWAY THE CAR WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED. THE WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK.

WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD. THE STABILI TRACK CAME ON AGAIN HAD THIS REPLACED LAST YEAR, CAME ON THE THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE IN DRIVE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. SCARED ME TO DEATH. HAD TO HAVE TO HAVE TOWED, NOW I'M LOOKING AT PAYING MORE TO GET IT FIXED THEN WHAT I OWE ON IT

I NEED TO REPORT THAT WHEN DRIVING ON THESE ICY ROADS THAT MY AWD EQUINOX FEELS LIKE IT SWERVES? IT FEELS LIKE IT TAKES ME INTO THE OTHER LANE MOST OF THE TIME. NOW, I DON'T KNOW IF ITS THE AWD CAUSING IT BUT OTHER AWD VEHICLES THAT I'VE DRIVEN HAVE NEVER DID IT THIS BAD TO THE POINT THAT IT FEELS ALMOST LIKE MY BACK END STARTS GOING SIDEWAYS.

ON MONDAY 1/21/2019, MY CAR BROKE DOWN ON THE SIDE OF A BUSY FOUR LANE ROAD. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC'S SHOP WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A BAD PCV VALVE SYSTEM. THIS PART IS ENGINEERED VERY POORLY AND GM HAS CONTINUED TO USE IT ANYWAY. THE PCV VALVE SYSTEM ALLOWS WATER TO COLLECT IN IT AND THEN FREEZE, IN RETURN BLOWING OUT THE REAR MAIN SEAL SO THE ENGINE NO LONGER HOLDS OIL. CURRENTLY, GM HAS A "RECALL" ON THIS PART, GM BULLETIN #14882, WHICH SHOULD COVER A CAR OF THE EXACT SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR AS MINE FOR UP TO 120,000 MILES OR 10 YEARS. MINE FALLS WITHIN BOTH OF THOSE SPECS. HOWEVER, WHEN CONTACTING GM ABOUT THIS RECALL, I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THIS SPECIFIC RECALL "DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VIN#." AFTER RESEARCHING, I'VE DISCOVERED THIS IS A MUCH LARGER PROBLEM THAN GM IS WILLING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR, AS IT IS HAPPENING TO MANY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS NATIONWIDE AND THEY'RE ALL BEING TOLD THE SAME THING I WAS, THAT IT DOESN'T MATCH THE VIN#. I SPENT TWO DAYS MAKING PHONE CALLS, BEING ON HOLD, AND WAITING FOR A RETURN PHONE CALL FROM SOMEONE IN THE "EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT." BECAUSE I COULDN'T WAIT TO HAVE A WORKING CAR WHILE WAITING ON THEIR PHONE CALL, I INSTRUCTED MY REPAIR MAN TO FIX MY CAR AND NOW I'M BEING TOLD GM WILL NOT HELP ME AT ALL BECAUSE I HAD IT REPAIRED ON MY OWN ACCORD. WHEN TRYING TO ORDER THIS PART TO REPAIR MY CAR, MY REPAIR MAN DISCOVERED THAT THIS PART IS BACKORDERED THROUGH GM, BECAUSE EVERYONE NEEDS IT REPLACED. THE SHOP MY CAR IS BEING REPAIRED THROUGH HAS HAD THREE EQUINOXES COME INTO THEIR SHOP SINCE TUESDAY FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, AND THEY'VE ALL BEEN TOLD THE SAME THING I HAVE BY GM CUSTOMER SERVICE...AND THAT'S JUST ONE SMALL SHOP IN OHIO. I'D LIKE GM TO EXTEND THE RECALL TO COVER NOT JUST MINE, BUT ALL CARS THIS PART HAS BEEN USED ON, AND ALSO COVER THE EXPENSES TO REPAIR THE ENGINE IN MY CAR THAT IT DAMAGED.

JANUARY 8TH IT WAS RAINING REALLY HEAVY AND I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY CITY STREET TO WORK THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST SUDDENLY STOPPED. ALSO RIGHT AFTER I'VE GOTTEN MY CAR MY CAR WAS MAKING A LOUD NOISE I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THERE'S A CRACK IN THE EXHAUST BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS HE SAID ARE VERY COMMON IN ALL THE EQUINOX AND THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2013 CHEVY EQUINOX

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 28 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MIKE ANDERSON CHEVROLET OF MERRILLVILLE (1550 61ST AVE, MERRILLVILLE, IN 46410, 219-947-4151) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIPER TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 105,000.

"TAKATA RECALL" SO FOR THE LAST MONTH OR SO I'VE BEEN DRIVING AND OR JUST AT A STOPLIGHT OR A STOP SIGN AND MY CAR WOULD GO IN A POWER MODE AND I CAN'T GET OUT OF 10 MILES PER HOUR ITS SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT TRACT SYSTEM AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF FOR A COUPLE MINUTES FOR IT TO GET OUT OF THAT MODE BUT SOMETIMES IT DON'T EVEN DO IT. IT CAN DO IT 10 TIMES THE TIME THAT I'M DRIVING IT'S VERY UNSAFE AND AS I'M READING ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS EVERYONE OR A LOT OF PEOPLE IS HAVING THIS ISSUE IT'S VERY SCARY AND I'M STILL PAYING ON THIS CAR I ONLY HAD IT FOR JUST ABOUT TWO YEARS RIGHT NOW I WOULD PLEASE LIKE TO FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MY CAR BEFORE I HAVE TO PAY A LOT OF MONEY TO GET IT FIXED WHEN WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY WHILE DRIVING AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY INJECTOR NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 168,000.

EXHAUST LEAK BETWEEN THE MANIFOLD AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER WITH ONLY 57,000 MILES. DANGEROUS ODOR AND POTENTIAL CARBON MONOXIDE EXPOSURE. THERE WAS NO INCIDENT THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS PROBLEM. MECHANIC STATES THAT PROBLEM HAS BEEN COMMON AMONG GM SUVS THIS PAST YEAR.

WINDSHIELD TAKES UP TO HALF AN HOUR TO DEFROST WHEN FIRST STARTED IN COLD WEATHER. I HAVE TO MANUALLY WIPE OFF THE INSIDE WINDSHIELD A FEW TIMES SO THAT I CAN DRIVE TO WORK. WINDSHIELD WILL FOG UP WHILE DRIVING IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS, SUCH AS RAIN, ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS MORE THAN ONE PERSON IN THE VEHICLE, AND IT WILL TAKE TOO LONG TO DEFOG, LIMITING VISIBILITY. WHEN THE HEAT IS ON FOR LONG PERIODS, THE RADIO OVERHEATS AND STOPS WORKING PROPERLY. HEAT CONTINUES TO COME OUT OF THE VENTS EVEN WHEN IT IS TURNED OFF. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON MAY 21, 2016.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECAME INOPERABLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CLEMENTS CHEVROLET (1000 12TH ST SW, ROCHESTER, MN 55902, (507) 289-0491) AND THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 9-4957761457. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER'S SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT HAVING MAJOR IMPACT. DRIVER BRUSHED A CURB WHILE DRIVING THE AND AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THERE IS NO SIGN OF IMPACT OR DAMAGE ON THE VEHICLE THAT SHOULD HAVE RESULTED IN THIS HAPPENING.

WHILE TRAVELING AT 65 MPH DURING A RAIN STORM, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE HOME, WE DISCOVERED THE WIPER LINKAGE HAD FAILED. THE BALL JOINTSIN THE LINKAGE WERE SEVERELY CORRODED AND WORN. SEEMS.TO.BE THE EXACT FAILURE THAT WAS RECALLED ON THE 2013 EQUINOX MODELS (16V582000). WHEN ORDERING REPAIR PARTS I NOTED THE WIPER LINKAGE IS COMMON TO ALL EQUINOX MODELS FROM 2010-2017. VEHICLE HAS ROUGHLY 80,000 MILES AT TIME.OF FAILURE.

SABILITRAK, POWERTRAIN, THROTTLE CAME ON AGAIN PAID $457.90 1/25/2016. AC & HEATING UNIT NOT WORKING CLICKING SOUND REPLACED 8/26/2015, KEY IS STUCK IN IGNITION, NO LIGHTS, CAR NOT MOBILE (NOW).

I HAVE A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX MILEAGE 078815 ,YESTERDAY WHILE OUT RUNNING ERRANDS AND HAD STOPPED AT SEVERAL LOCATIONS IN TOWN .I HAD NO WARNING AT LAST STOP .I GOT BACK IN SUV AND IT STARTED UP OK AND GOT READY TO BACK OUT OF PARKED SPOT SHIFTED TO REVERSE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE BACKWARD OR FORWARD BUT GEAR SHIFT MOVED TO ALL LOCATION BUT SUV WOULD NOT . HAD TO GET IT TOWED HOME

CAR JUST SHUTS OFF WHEN ON FREE WAY DOING 70 OR AT STOP LIGHT THEN MESSAGE CENTER SAYS STABILITY TRACK CONTROL THEN IT MAY SIT FOR 5 MIN AND THEN RESTART OR MAY REQUIRE A JUMP START PUT IN NEW BATTERY AND HAD ALTERNATOR TESTED VERY UNSAFE AUTOMOBILE

9/24/2018 POURING RAIN MY WIPERS STOPPED ON I75 IN TENNESSEE. SCARIEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE TIME. WAS ABLE TO GET TO A DEALER IN CLEVELAND TN. $432 TRANSMISSION WIPER FAILED. I AM NOW SEEING OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL MY SUV KEEP TURNING OFF EVERY TIME I MAKE A STOP ON A RED LIGHT OR A STOP SIGN OR EVEN WHEN I AM IN TRAFFIC. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE I SEND IT TO EVERY SHOP TO TRY TO FIX SOME DON'T KNOW THE PROBLEM OR OTHERS DON'T WANT TO EVEN TRY TO FIX IT I EVEN SEND IT TO CHENEY DEALERS AND THEY THINK IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE THEY CHANGE THAT PART BUT STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM I BEEN SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY ON THIS SUV THAT I JUST DON'T WANT TO BOTHER ANYMORE. PLEASE TRY TO HELP ME OUT. THE BAD THINK TOO IS THAT I AM STILL PAYING FOR THIS CAR AND I ASKED THE FINANCIAL WORKER TO HELP ME AND THEY DON'T CARE. WE KEEP SEARCHING ONLINE WHAT TO DO AND I'M READING THAT THESE CARS ARE RECALLS SO PLEASE TRY TO HELP ME OUT. THANK YOU

THIS SUV HAS HAD A NEW TRANSMISSION, MOTOR AND NOW IT HAS BEEN JUST CUTS OUT AND NO POWER AND ON THE MESSAGE CENTER SAYS STABILITY TRACK LIGHT WE HAVE PUT A NEW BATTERY AND BROUGHT IT TO TWO DIFFERENT GM CERTIFIED CAR GARAGES AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO CAR IS UNSAFE WHEN IT JUST DECIDES TO RANDOMLY STALL OUT AND HAS NO POWER UNTIL AFTER IT SITS FOR ABOUT 5 MIN IT MAY RESTART OR MAY NEED A JUMP START VERY SCARY SITUATION IT CAN HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING ON FREEWAY OR IN TOWN OR EVEN IN LINE A DRIVE THRU LINE IN PARK YOU NEVER KNOW THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 6-8 TIMES AND THERE IS NO WARNING OF WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN NOR ANY KIND OF PATTERN VERY SCARY AND UNSAFE

MY VEH STALLED ON ME MID DRIVE SAID ENGINE POWER REDUCED, IT DID NOT LET ME ACCELERATE AND I ALMOST GOT HIT. SIMULTANEOUSLY THE STABILITRACK MESSAGE CAME ON AND WATCH FOR ICE, DID THIS HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THE COLD? ALSO FEW DAYS LATER IT WAS STORMING AND MY WIPERS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDOW AND I WAS ON THE FWY IN THE FAST LANE. I HAD TO GET SOAKED FROM ROLLING M WINDOW DOWN TO PULL OVER. ROADSIDE CAME TO STOP TRAFFIC TO LET ME ON THE RIGHT SIDE SHOULDER BECAUSE I WAS LUCKY I HAD ROOM TO PULL OVER OR EVEN SEE IN THE FIRST PLACE. I COULDNT SEE ANYTHING!

I HAVE HAD TWO INCIDENTS OF WIPER FAILURE ON MY USED 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX. I JUST PURCHASED MY USED EQUINOX THE END OF AUGUST 2018. IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE, I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 95 IN MARYLAND, AND THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING DURING A RAIN INCIDENT. FORTUNATELY I MADE IT HOME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY SAID THEY REPAIRED THE BUSHINGS ON THE LINKAGE. THE 2ND INCIDENT HAPPENED IN NOVEMBER OF 2018 DURING A SNOW INCIDENT. MY WIFE WAS USING THE EQUINOX TO DRIVE TO THE BANK. IT WAS SNOWING AND SHE WAS USING THE WIPERS. AGAIN THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING! SHE WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME AND PARK IT SAFELY IN THE DRIVEWAY. WHEN SHE BROUGHT IT HOME, I WAS ABLE TO HEAR THE WIPER MOTOR WORKING, BUT THE ARMS WERE NOT MOVING. WE HAVE NOT USED THE VEHICLE SINCE THIS LAST INCIDENT HAPPENED. WE HAVE HAD TWO WIPER LINKAGE FAILURE INCIDENTS IN APPROX. 3 MONTHS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE WOULD HAVE DONE IF WE WERE ON A LONG FAMILY TRIP. IT IS VERY SCARY WHEN YOUR WIPERS STOP WORKING AND YOU CANNOT SEE THE ROAD YOU ARE DRIVING ON, OR TRAFFIC AROUND YOU.

I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE IN THE RAIN AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE WIPER STOPPED WORKING. MY SON REPLACED THE BUSHINGS, THEN ON MY WAY INTO WORK IN THE RAIN BOTH STOPPED WORKING I TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THEY TELL ME IT IS THE WIPER TRANSMISSION AND THE TRANSMISSION LINKAGE. THERE IS A RECALL IN THE US FOR 2013 BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE FOR 2010-2013 LIKE CANADA HAS. THIS DANGEROUS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHEN THE CONTACT ACTIVATED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO OPERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER TRANSMISSION UNIT WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000 *BF 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

ORIGINAL RECALL 09 V4 89000 WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE FIXED VISIBILITY ISSUE. CAR WAS TAKEN IN AT THE TIME OF THE ORIGINAL RECALL. THE VEHICLE IS SHOWING SYMPTOMS OF THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS BEFORE WHERE DEFROSTER IS NO LONGER WORKING BECAUSE OF CONTROLS NOT FUNCTIONING. RADIO IS ALSO OUT ALONG WITH POSSIBLE OTHER UNKNOWN ELECTRICAL ISSUES. WE'VE TURN THE CAR ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES HOPING IT WAS JUST A GLITCH, HOWEVER IT APPEARS THE PROBLEMS OF THE FIRST RECALL ARE BACK AGAIN. DRIVING THE VEHICLE POSE A THREAT HAS WE LIVE IN WEATHER WE'RE HAVING TO HAVE CONTROL OVER THE DEFROSTING IS NEEDED. DEFROSTER AND PANEL DO NOT WORK BECAUSE OF LACK OF ELECTRICAL CONTROL. MY WORRY IS THAT THIS IS SYSTEMIC, THE THE ISSUE IS REOCCURRING, EVERY SO YEARS OR SO, THAT OTHER ISSUES WILL CONTINUALLY MAKE THIS AN ISSUE IN THE FUTURE.

AS DRIVING NOV 19, 2018. THE CAR STALLED, ENGINE PROBLEM, MY HUSBAND HAD TO PUSH ACROSS THREE LANES OF TRAFFICS ! ALMOST GOT RUN DOWN . FOR NO REASON THE CAR JUST STOPPED RUNNING! WE WERE PUTTING ONE QUART OF OIL PER WEEK?? IN BETWEEN REGULAR OIL CHANGES. THE CAR WAS TOWED, OUR MECHANIC TOLD US ENGIN SEIZED, NEEDED A NEW ENGINE?? WE STILL OWE 3700 ON THE CAR AND IT DOESN'T RUN?? I'M SO MAD THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL?? GM OWES US A NEW CAR!!

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A 4 LANE HIGHWAY, I SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND THE ENGINE STARTED CLATTERING. I LIMPED TO THE NEAREST EXIT, AND THAT IS WHERE THE CAR DIED. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST TOWN, AND THEN WE PUT IT ON A TRAILER AND TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC. HE SAID THAT IT HAD BLOWN A ROD IN THE ENGINE, AND THAT IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR $6000+. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS AT ALL. I HAD BEEN MONITORING THE OIL LEVEL BECAUSE I KNEW I WAS GETTING CLOSER TO A NEEDED OIL CHANGE. EVEN AFTER THIS HAPPENED, WE STARTED IT TO DRIVE IT ON AND OFF THE TRAILER, AND THERE WAS STILL NO OIL LIGHT!!! ALL RECALLS HAD BEEN DONE. AS WE HAD A 100,000 WARRANTY, IT WAS GONE THROUGH VERY CLOSELY BEFORE THAT EXPIRED.

EVEN WHEN MY SEATBELTS ARE CONNECTED THE WARNING CHIMES CONTINUE TO GO OFF. DURING MOTION, ON A CITY STREET AND EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY IT PERIODICALLY MAKES THE SOUND AS IF THE SEATBELT IS NOT CONNECTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY DECELERATED TO 15 MPH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS MORE PREVALENT DURING THE COLDER MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE CLEANED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

DRIVERS SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILED TO OPERATE.

EACH YEAR, WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES ARE COLD, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ENGINE LOSES POWER EITHER WHILE DRIVING OR IDLE, AND THE VEHICLE RUNS VERY ROUGH.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING IN RAIN STORM ON TOLL ROAD AT HIGH SPEED. HAD TO KEEP DRIVING WITH VERY LIMITED VISION. DID NOT WANT TO STOP ON TOLL ROAD. THE ARM FROM WITH WIPER TRANSMISSION CAME OFF THE MOTOR WHEEL THAT SPINS.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING DURING A DOWNPOUR ON A 6 LANE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. WIPER WAS OFF THE SIDE OF THE DRIVERS WINDOW, WAS ABLE TO PUSH THEM BACK INTO PLACE, AND YOU CAN HEAR THE WIPER MOTOR RUNNING, THE SPRAY STILL WORKED AND THE BACK WIPER BUT THE FRONT WIPERS WILL NOT MOVE. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION, EVEN MORE AO THAT MY 6 YEAR OKD WAS IN THE XAR WITH ME. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD.

I COULD NOT TURN ON MY DEFROST ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING I HAD TO PULL OVER AND WAIT FOR IT TO KICK BACK ON SO IT COULD DEFROST ENOUGH FOR ME TO SEE WHERE I WAS GOING TO GET HOME I HAVE THE VIDEOS

I RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USE IT WAS WONDERING WHY THE OWNER GOT RID OF IT NOW I KNOW. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH THE HILL ASSIST ON THIS VEHICLE AND I HAVE SEEN COMPLAINTS ON THE FORM THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND NOT KNOWN WHAT IT WAS. THE PROBLEM I'M HAVING IS WHEN THE HILL ASSIAT ENGAGE'S IT WILL NOT DISENGAGE LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO. I ACTUALLY HAD TO HAVE A MECHANIC RESET THE WHOLE COMPUTER TO GET IT TO DISENGAGE THE OTHER DAY AND REMOVE THE BATTERY TERMINAL TODAY TO GET A DISENGAGED. I EVEN CALLED THE DEALER TODAY AT THEY WEREN'T AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT CONVENIENT. SEVERAL MECHANICS KNOW BUT THE DEALER DOESN'T WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. I'VE ALREADY DIAGNOSED IT, I JUST WANT TOKNOW WHAT THE FIX IS. ACCORDING TO EVERY MECHANIC OF SPOKE TO ITS IN THE COMPUTER PROGRAMMING AND THERE IS NO FIX. I WILL HAVE ON THIS VEHICLE FOR WEEKS AND IT'S ALREADY HAPPENED TO ME 5 TIMES.

THE ARM/LINKAGE OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER TRANSMISSION BROKE CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO STOP WORKING. HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE OF THE 3,5,R WAVE PLATE. COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL, TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE WIFE WAS HEADING TO WORK, BROKE DOWN IN BUSY INTERSECTION. GM WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE COMMON PROBLEM

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED. I TOOK THE CAR TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP WHO IMMEDIATELY IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS ARISING FROM A KEY PART IN THE WIPERS BEING MADE OF PLASTIC INSTEAD OF THE PREVIOUSLY USED METAL AND THIS WEARING OUT. HE SAID THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT A RECALL WAS LIKELY BUT THAT CHEVY WAS DRAGGING THEIR FEED. I UNDERSTAND THEY HAVE ISSUED THE RECALL IN CANADA. THE WIPERS FAILED WITHOUT WARNING DURING A MAJOR RAIN STORM, CREATING A VERY REAL SAFETY HAZARD AS I DROVE WITH YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR.

INSTRUMENT COMPUTER MAILFUCTIONIN. LIGHT AND CONTROLS STOP WORKING AND NOTHING ON RADIO LIGHTS UP. RADIO SCREEN AND AC/HEAT CONTROLS NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. CHECKED THERE WAS A RECALL PREVIOUSLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH IN A HEAVY RAIN STORM, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED OPERATING. THE FAILURE CAUSED A VISIBILITY HAZARD FOR THE DRIVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (KRING CHEVROLET, 1861 N. US-31, PETOSKEY, MI) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

THE VEHICLE HAS HAD HARD SHIFTING EVER SINCE I GOT IT AND THE OTHER DAY IN TOWN IT WAS NOT SHIFTING RIGHT AT ALL. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I'M STUCK IN SECOND GEAR. NO REVERSE, COULDN'T MANUALLY SHIFT I'M JUST STUCK IN SECOND. I COULD PUT THE CAR IN PARK SO I STOP AT A GROCERY STORE TO CHECK MY TRANSMISSION FLUID AND THERE WAS NO DIPSTICK WHAT THE HECK.SO I PUT MY FLASHERS ON AND DRIVE IN SECOND GEAR TO MY WIFES GRANDMOTHERS AND PARK IT. WHEN I GET HOME I RESEARCH AND I'VE COME UP WITH A WAVE PLATE CAUSING MY PROBLEM.

I REPLACED THE TIMING CHAIN IN JUNE AT MY MECHANIC...I DID NOT GO TO A DEALER BECAUSE I COULD NOT AFFORD THE $2000 THEY WERE ASKING TO FIX IT. IT IS NOW THE BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER AND I AM REPLACING THE TIMING CHAIN AGAIN. WHY AM I READING THIS WEBSITE AND SEEING THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE EQUINOX TIMING CHAIN AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE BY GM. THEY SHOULD RECEIVE CONSEQUENCES FOR A FAULTY PRODUCT. I CALLED THEM TO ASK WHY THERE WAS NOT A RECALL WHEN THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE. THEY WERE VERY RUDE AND WOULD NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE OVER EXTENDING.

WHILE DRIVING DURING A RAINSTORM THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. CHECKED THE FUSES, BUT ALL FUSES WERE GOOD. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID WAS WORKING BUT NOT THE WIPERS THEMSELVES. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE BACK HOME TOOK A LOOK AT THE WIPER ASSEMBLY AND ONE OF THE BUSHINGS BROKE OFF. HAD TO REPLACE THE BUSHING TO GET THE WIPERS TO WORK AGAIN.

MY IGNITION WHEN I TUEN MY KEY BACK TO TURN OFF MY CAR IT TRIES TO START BACK UP AGAIN BY ITSELF IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 7 OR 8 TIMES NOW. I HAVE BEEN ASKING AROUND WHAT THAT COOLD BE AND I GET IN RESPONSE THAT IT COULD BE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OR THE IGNITION. AND I STILL HAVE 3 YRS TO PAY FOR THIS CAR

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK. IT STARTED TO RAIN, SO I TURNED ON THE WIPERS, AND THEY SWIPED A FEW TIMES AND STUCK IN THE UPWARD LEFT POSITION AND STOPPED. I WAS ON A STATE HIGHWAY, AT THE TIME, AND FOUND IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE TO DRIVE. THE WIPERS HAVE NOT WORKED SINCE THAT DAY. UPON CHECKING ONLINE, I'VE FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND HAPPENS TO OTHERS EXACTLY THE SAME WAY IT HAPPENED WITH MY WIPERS. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CANADIAN MODEL FOR 2013, BUT HAVE NOT FOUND ONE FOR 2010 AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON ALL OF THE WIPERS FOR THIS MODEL. THE ARMS ON THE TRANSMISSION COME APART AND STOPS THE WIPERS FROM WORKING. NO WARNING......THEY JUST STOP. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. AND TO ADD TO THE PROBLEM...... TO REPAIR IT, THE MORE APPROPRIATE OPTION IS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION/MOTOR ASSEMBLY AND THAT PART IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE, AROUND $300. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BY CHEVY, AS IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND CAN CAUSE TERRIBLE ACCIDENTS IN THE BLINDING RAIN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

WIPERS STOPPED WORKING DUE TO A WORN BALL JOINT ON WIPER MOTOR. IT DOES SHOW A RECALL FOR NEWER ONES BUT NOT FOR THE 2010 YEAR. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A STATE HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSED DRIVER TO RUN INTO THE DITCH, HEAVY RAIN.

DRIVTNG 45 MILE HR SHOUDER MADE NOISE STOPPED AT TRAFFIC WOULD NOT MOVE CALLED AAA CARS WERE DRIVING AROUND ME RAMP TRUCK TOWED CAR TO BEST TRANSMISSION SHOP CALL GM SAID NO WARRANTY ONLY HAS 75,000 MILES

THE VEHICLE IS BURNING OIL OUT BEFORE THE GIVEN MILEAGE CAUSING THE ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON LOUD KNOCKING IN THE ENGINE SMOKE

1. TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. 2. ENGINE CONSUMES ALL OIL WITHIN 3,000 MILES.

2010 CHEVY EQUINOX WILL LOSE POWER AT ANY SPEED. I HAVE LOST POWER ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65MPH, LOCAL DRIVING AT 40MPH AS WELL AS STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. IT PRETTY MUCH JUST HAPPENS OUT OF THE BLUE ENDANGERING MY LIFE AS WELL AS THE VEHICLES AROUND ME. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON BUT DOES NOT STAY ON. IF I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF , IT WILL RESTART AND MAY RUN FINE FOR DAYS OR WEEKS AFTERWARD. I HAVE CONTACTED GM , BUT TO DATE HAVE NOT HAD THE ISSUE RESOLVED.

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, PULLED ONTO A STREET AND PUT THE CAR INTO PARK. ATTEMPTED AGAIN AND THE CAR SLOWLY DROVE. ANOTHER INCIDENT, MY SON WAS DRIVING AND HE SAID IT JUST "WOULDN'T DRIVE", LUCKILY HE WAS NEAR A RELATIVES HOUSE AND PULLED INTO THE DRIVE. HE ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE CAR AND PUT IT INTO REVERSE AND IT WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. THE CAR IS NOW AT A CHEVY DEALER. NOW THIS MAY NOT BE DEEMED A "SAFETY ISSUE", BUT WHAT IS THE ISSUE, THE CAR ONLY HAS 65,000 AND WE ARE BEING TOLD BY CHEVY THAT THE CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. AT WHAT POINT CAN A NON-SAFETY ISSUE BE DEEMED A RECALL. APPARENTLY THERE IS A BULLETIN REGARDING THE CHEVY EQUINOX 2010, MANY MANY COMPLAINTS, AND CHEVY WILL NOT REPAIR THEM. WHAT CAN BE DONE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE PARKED IN A PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE FIRE ORIGINATED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED.

WHERE TO BEGIN...IN 2015 I PURCHASED THIS 2010 EQUINOX FROM A CHEVY DEALER AND 2 MONTHS LATER STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS W/ THE STABILITRAK. I HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS PAYING FOR THIS TO BE FIXED WITH NO SOLUTOINS TO THIS DAY!! IT OS NOW A DAILY OCCURRENCE AND COMES ON MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING EVERY TIME I AM BEHIND THE WHEEL NOW. IN ADDITION, NOW THE ENGINE IS COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING IT AND I MUST COAST TO THE SIDE IF THE ROAD!!!! WITH THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS YOUR COMPANY HAS RECEIVED REGARDING THIS PROBLEM OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, I AM GUESSING YOUR COMPANY IS WAITING FOR A LIFE TO BE TAKEN! I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME MULTIPLE TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY PASSING A CAR OR SEMI AND IT KICKS IN AND I HAVE TO PRAY THAT AS I SLOW DOWN WITH NO CONTROL I CAN MAKE IT TO THE RIGHT LANE AND THEN ON TO THE SHOULDER WITH OUT GETTING HIT OR WORSE!!! THERE ARE EVEN MORNINGS WHERE I GO OUT TO START MY CAR AND...EITHER IT DOESN'T START AT ALL W/ NO SOUND, IT STARTS WITH THE STABILITRAK ALREADY ON OR IT CLICKS ON AS SOON AS I PUT IT IN REVERSE. I AM KEEPING ALL MY RECEIPTS TOGETHER AND MY FAMILY KNOWS WHERE THEY ARE IN CASE ANYTHING SHOULD HAPPEN TO ME DUE TO THE LACK OF CHEVROLET ASSISTANCE FOR THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DEALING W/ THE SAME ISSUES!!!! YES I HAVE A WARRANTY BUT WAS TOLD THAT IS NOT COVERED AND I HAVE ALREADY HAD A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN, THROTTLE BODY REPLACED, WIRES REPLACED, ETC... AND STILL NO SOLUTION AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT HERE. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND A CHEVY TO ANYONE AND WILL SHARE MY EXPERIENCE WITH AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SEIZED. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UNTIL THE RAIN STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BALLAS BUICK GMC (5715 CENTRAL AVE, TOLEDO, OH 43615, (567) 202-1198) WHERE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE REPAIRED, BUT THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF THE DIAGNOSIS. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO FUNCTION AT THE HIGHEST SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

LOW OIL, MIXED WITH ANTIFREEZE. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. GOOD TO MY MECHANIC, ENDED REPLACING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, WATER PUM, SPARK PLUGS, BATTERY.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD GOING 55MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOOSE SPEED CONTROL TO ALMOST 20 MPH. I TRY TO PRESS THE GAS TO ACCELERATE AND IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE BEING PRESSED DOWN. HAVE TO PRESS GAS PEDAL ALMOST TO THE FLOOR TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. IMMEDIATELY TURNED ON EMERGENCY FLASHERS TO ALERT VEHICLES BEHIND ME. STABILITRK LIGHT AND TC LIGHT COMES ON. I HAVE READ PLENTY OF FORUMS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 CHEVERELET EQUINOX AND NOBODY SEEMS TO KNOW THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. HAVE HAD SEVERAL MECHANICS AND BREAK SPECIALIST LOOK AT THE PROBLEM AND THEY ARE CONFUSED TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. I HAVE A SMALL CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT. THANK GOD WE WEREN'T ON A 70 MPH HIGHWAY AND THAT HAPPENED. THERE COULD HAVE BEEN FATALITIES. I DONT HAVE ANY MECHANIC RECEIPTS BECAUSE THEY DONT KNOW WHAT TO START TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH. THEY SAID IT COULD BE NUMEROUS IDEAS( BRAKES, THROTTLE, ELECTRICAL, ETC). THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BLEND DOOR MOTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 79,000.

MY TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING HARD LAST WEEK & I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE TOLD MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME I CAN DRIVE IT UNTIL THAT HAPPENS BUT I MAY LOOSE POWER & THE VEHICLE MAY STALL OR COMPLETELY DIE WHILE I'M DRIVING. I WAS TOLD IF THAT HAPPENS TO RE-START THE VEHICLE AND I SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE OFF AGAIN. THIS IS SCARY TO SAY THE LEAST & I'VE FOUND SEVERAL HUNDRED OTHER CONSUMERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUES. MANY OF THEM HAVE HAD FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED BUT ARE EXPERIENCING RE-OCCURRING FAILURE DUE TO WHAT'S BELIEVED TO BE DEFECTIVE PARTS BEING USED BY CHEVY/GM. SEVERAL CONSUMERS DIDN'T HAVE ANY INDICATION THE TRANSMISSIONS WERE FAILING & IT DID HAPPEN WHILE THEY WERE DRIVING PUTTING THEM @ RISK & CREATING DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. I WAS QUOTED $4560 FOR THIS REPAIR BUT WITH NO GUARANTEE A NEW TRANSMISSION WILL NOT GO OUT THE SAME WAY THIS ONE IS. THE PROBLEMS I'VE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE HAVE ALL MADE ME AFRAID TO DRIVE IT B/C I DON'T FEEL SAFE BUT THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST WORRISOME. CAN YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS & HELP US? WE REALLY NEED TO KNOW IF THE "NEW TRANSMISSIONS" WILL BE A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. GM SEEMS TO BE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT REMARKS THE GOVERNMENT HAS TO ISSUE RECALLS. THANK YOU!

2010 CHEVY EQUINOX LTZ WINDSHIELD FAILURE! WEDNESDAY NIGHT, MAY 2, 2018, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE FOUR WINDS CASINO, SOUTH BEND, IN, IT WAS POURING DOWN RAIN...WHEN I GOT INTO MISHAWAKA, IN, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED AND LODGED TO THE LEFT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE! I GOT OUT OF THE CAR, PUSHED THE WIPERS BACK DOWN IN THERE PROPER PLACE AND I COULD HEAR THE MOTOR RUNNING! I GOT BACK INTO THE CAR AND TURNED ON THE WIPERS SEVERAL TIMES, THEY WOULD NOT BUDGE...I TOOK THE EQUINOX INTO BASNEY HONDA ON THURSDAY, MAY 3, 2018 AND THEY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THEY TOLD ME THE WINDSHIELD MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED! I BOUGHT THIS SUV IN MARCH FROM BASNEY HONDA! I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND PROBLEMS ALREADY? THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, PLUS, THE COST OF REPAIR! TOTAL COST= $453.43. ALSO, MY RESEARCH SHOWS MANY RECALLS ON THIS SAME ISSUE BY GM! MANY COMPLAINTS BY CONSUMERS! WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING, AND WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED? NO WONDER NO ONE WANTS TO BUY A CHEVY! WHEN I PURCHASED MY 2002 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA USED IN 2010, IT WAS YEARS BEFORE I HAD ANY REPAIRS! NEVER A WINDSHIELD ISSUE LIKE THIS...NEVER! I THOUGHT I HAD MADE A GOOD CHOICE BUYING THIS CHEVY EQUINOX SUV, LIKING IT A LOT, BUT, NOW, I AM LOOKING TO GET ANOTHER TOYOTA, HONDA, NISSAN OR MAZDA AND TRADE THIS ONE IN! I HAVE CALLED A CERTIFIED CHEVY DEALER TO HAVE AN INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSTIC DONE ON THURSDAY, MAY 10, 2018. AFTER THAT, I WILL CALL THE CHEVY RECALL NUMBER FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE! THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD! I COULD NOT SEE! I COULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT AND RAN OFF THE ROAD, OR WORSE YET, BEEN KILLED OR KILLED SOMEONE ELSE! I HOPE I CAN GET REIMBURSED THE COST OF THIS REPAIR!

AS I WAS APPROACHING TO A STOP LIGHT MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE AS IT WAS TRYING TO SHUT ITSELF DOWN. AS THE LIGHT TURNED AND AND I TRIED TO PUSH THE GAS PEDDLE, THE CAR WENT A LITTLE THEN STOPPED. I CRANKED THE KEY AGAIN, STARTED, THEN SHUT OFF. NOW THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE MY THE TRUCK WOULD START BACK UP AND DRIVE AGAIN. YOU CAN HEAR THIS WEIRD RATTLING NOISE AND WHILE DRIVING I WAS ALWAYS CAUTIOUS NOT KNOWING IF MY CAR WOULD JUST STOP RANDOMLY, OR IT IF WAS JUST A FLUKE. NO FLUKE. I SEE MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES AND GM NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE! I DRIVE WITH MY 3 AND 4 YEAR OLD DAILY, AS WELL AS TAKING MY CLIENT'S TO AND FROM APPOINTMENTS AND RUNNING ERRANDS. JUST FEEL SO VIOLATED THAT A CAR WAS SOLD TO ME KNOWING THE PRE HISTORIC CONDITIONS.

ON DECEMBER 22ND, 2017 AS MY HUSBAND AND I WERE TRAVELING TO OUR HOMETOWN FROM FORT BRAGG, NORTH CAROLINA, OUR VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY LOST ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. THIS WAS NOT ONLY VERY SCARY, BUT ALSO VERY DANGEROUS. IMAGINE OTHER VEHICLES WHIZZING BY AT 80MPH AT NIGHT AND YOUR CAR ONLY WANTS TO GO A FOURTH OF THAT. THE SCREEN READ, 'REDUCED ENGINE POWER'. WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT NO ONE RAN INTO THE BACK OF OUR VEHICLE, BEFORE WE COULD PULL OFF ON TO THE SHOULDER. THE CAR WAS TOWED THE REMAINDER OF THE DRIVE AND THEN TAKEN TO FLOW CHEVROLET MID JANUARY 2018. WHILE AT THIS DEALERSHIP, WE WERE GIVEN THE FOLLOWING DIAGNOSIS CODES, P0016 CRANKSHAFT POSITION NOT PLAUSIBLE, P0089 FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR PERFORMANCE, P228D FUEL PRESSURE REG 1 PERFORMANCE,EBCM V0100-71 LOST COMMUNICATION. THE MAN HELPING US RECOMMENDED THAT THE PISTONS AND RINGS/ TIMING CHAINS BE REPLACED FOR $5629.67 OR AN ENGINE SWAP FOR $9250.76. COME TO FIND OUT, THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX AND CAR FORUMS ALL OVER THE INTERNET HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE EXACT SAME ISSUES. HOW IS THERE NOT A RECALL FOR THIS? THIS IS HIGHLY UNSAFE!

WHEN I ACTIVATED THE SWITCH TO TURNED ON THE WIPER BLADES, I COULD HERE THE MOTOR, BUT THE BLADES WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. THE PROBLEM WAS THE WIPER TRANSMISSION WAS BROKEN. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING IN A SNOW STORM ON 4-15-2018. I TOOK THE CAR TO A CHEV. DEALER AND IT WAS REPAIRED FOR 371.44 INCLUDING TAX.

OWNER WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND WAS SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP LIGHT AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, THE ENGINE MADE A KNOCKING NOISE AND CONTINUED TO SHUT OFF AT EVERY STOP LIGHT AND STOP SIGN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHO INFORMED THE DRIVER THAT THERE WAS VERY LITTLE OIL IN THE ENGINE. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE OWNER THAT THERE WERE METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL THAT WAS LEFT. THE MECHANIC TOLD THE OWNER THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AT THE END OF JAN 2018 AND HAD AN OIL CHANGE AT RHAT TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME FROM THE MECHANIC AND HAS SAT SINCE.

WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING IN THE VERTICAL POSITION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REQUESTED THAT THE VEHICLE BE TOWED TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

OUR 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX WAS WORKING FINE. LAST WEEK WE CAME TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN... HEARD A BANG NOISE AND IT STARTED TO IDLE ROUGH, AND SHUT OFF AT STOP SIGN ( HARD TO EVEN KNOW...SINCE RADIO STILL PLAYING). ALSO SOUNDS LIKE A THRASHING MACHINE.... CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS SINCE GONE OFF AND BACK ON AND BACK OFF. WHAT IS THE BEST CORRECTION FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. CONTINUES TO SHUT OFF AT STOP SIGNS. ????

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I AM STOPPED OR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

VARIABLE VALVE TIMING CHAIN ISSUE AS WITH THE PREVIOUS YEARS MODELS THAT HAVE HAD PROBLEMS.2007 TO 2009 MODEL YEARS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS SAME ISSUE AND THE 2010 MODEL YEAR V6 IS HAVIG THE SAME PROBLEM. CODES P0016 AND P0017. CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT CORRELATION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES. SAME PROBLEM AS 2007 THRU 2009 THAT WERE COVERED. I CALLED GM BUT THEY SAID THE RECALL DID NOT COVER MY VIN SPECIFIC.

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. A TEXAS CERTIFIED REPAIR SHOP DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AND CONCLUDED THAT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE ENTIRELY REPLACED AT A COST OF $3,000.

MY CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND I HAD TO SIT THERE FOR A A LITTLE WHILE BEFORE IT STARTED BACK. THE CAR STARTED BACK. I DROVE THE CAR A LITTLE OVER A 1/.2 OF MILE AND IT STOPPED AGAIN. I STOPPED AND AND SAT AND CRANKED IT BACK UP. I MADE IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP TO BE TOLD MY TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. THE CAR ONLY HAS 116,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 2 AIR COMPRESSORS ON THE CAR. THE CAR HAS ALSO DID AN AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN ON ME. I HAVE HAD TO TOW THIS CAR 4 TIMES. I THINK THE 2010 EQUINOX IS A FAULTY CAR AND IS UNSAFE FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES TO BE RIDING AROUND IN. THE LAST ACCIDENT HAPPEN ON A BUSY INTERSECTION WITH ME AND MY HUSBAND WE COULD HAVE BEEN HURT WITH ALL THE MAJOR TRAFFIC COMING IN OUR DIRECTIONS.

SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, I CONSTANTLY GET A "SERVICE AIRBAG" MESSAGE ON MY DASHBOARD. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE DEALER AS WELL AS GM/CHEVORLET BY PHONE AND WAS TOLD THAT UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER IN WHICH I PURCHASED AND SINCE THEY DID NOT SEE THE MESSAGE THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I FEAR (GOD FORBID) BEING IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY. I DO TRAVEL WITH MY CHILDREN IN WHICH ONE OF THE 3 IS A TODDLER. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. - ALSO WHICH IS VERY ANNOYING MY KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. NOW I HAVE 2 SETS OF KEYS ONE GETS STUCK MORE THAN THE OTHER, BUT THERE ARE TIMES WHERE I HAVE TO SPEND HOURS TRYING TO REMOVE IT - I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT ONCE AGAIN WAS TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THIS. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS VIDEOS AND FORUMS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. NEEDLES TO SAY I WOULD NEVER PURCHASE A CHEVY AGAIN! TOO MANY ISSUES FOR A CAR THAT I'VE ONLY HAD A FEW YEARS.

THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS. DEALER SAYS NOT CODING OR STORING CODES. MAIN COMPUTER DOESN'T SENSE THE PROBLEM. ACTUATORS RECALIBRATED ON FRIDAY, IT REOCCURRED ON SATURDAY. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE CONTROL SYSTEM BRAIN BUT DEALER UNWILLING TO DO REPAIRS. 2010 AND 2011 WERE THE WORST YEARS FOR ISSUES IN THESE VEHICLES. MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUES. DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T FIX IT IF IT DOESN'T DISPLAY CODES ACCORDING TO MY ALMOST $4000 WARRANTY SERVICE CONTRACT. I LOVE MY EQUINOX BUT I NEED IT FIXED AND WORKING. BROUGHT IT INTO DEALER ON FRIDAY, INTAKE PERSON ACTUALLY FELT THE FRIGID AIR COMING FROM BLOWER. NO AMOUNT OF FLIPPING SWITCHES, TURNING KNOBS OR PUSHING BUTTONS CORRECT THIS ISSUE. STILL THEY DON'T FIX IT BECAUSE OF NO CODES. I SAY MAIN COMPUTER IS MALFUNCTIONING BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SENSE THE PROBLEM THEREFORE IT DOESN'T SHOW CODES. DEALER ADMITS THERE IS AN ISSUE, JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. ON A PERSONAL NOTE, I AM A CANCER SURVIVOR AND HAVE MANY MEDICAL ISSUES, I ALSO TRANSPORT YOUNG CHILDREN IN MY VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE IS A HEALTH HAZARD TO MYSELF AND THEM.

PER INTERNET SEARCHES, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 4-CYL ECO TECH ENGINE. (I BELIEVE CANADA REQUIRED A RECALL ON THIS ENGINE!)

I PURCHASED THIS CAR AS USED. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT THERE WAS A TICKING SOUND THAT COULD BARELY BE HEARD. THE DEALER SAID THAT WAS COMMON. FOR VEHICLES SITTING IN THE LOT. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK ONCE IT GOT A LITTLE LOUDER AND THEY SAID MOST FUEL PUMPS MAKE THAT SOUND OVERTIME BUT THERE WAS NO ISSUE. AND THAT THE MANIFOLD WAS CAUSING THE LOUD NOISE AND GAS SMELL. AND NEEDED TO GET REPAIRED. THAT WAS DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD .NOW AN YEAR LATER. A WEEK AGO MY CAR STARTED MAKING THE SAME SOUND AGAIN AND BEEN GETTING LOUDER.

THANK GOD I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY I GET ON TO GO TO WORK

I WAS ON THE WAY TO THE STORE WITH MY TWO CHILDREN I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY AND THE CAR DIDNT WANT TO PULL. I LET OFF THE GAS AND PUSHED THE GAS AGAIN I STARTED THINKING MAKE IT JUST HAD SOME TRASH OR SOMETHING CAUSE THE CAR DID FINE. I GOT TO THE STORE AND PULLED IN THE PARKING LOT THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE AT ALL. I HAD IT TOWED MY THE CHEVY PLACE AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THE INNER TRANSMISSION SEEING THAT IT HAS HAD OTBER TRANSMISSION ISSUE MIGHT WANT TO TAKE A LOOK THAT THE WHOLE UNIT OF THE TRANSMISSION.

I HAVE ISSUES WITH MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVING DISCONNECTED LEAVING MY WIPERS TO NOT BE USABLE. THIS HAPPENED DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN A DOWNPOUR - ALMOST GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. ALSO IT HAPPEN WITH MY HUSBAND AND 2 SMALL CHILDREN IN MY CAR AGAIN IN THE RAIN. I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY DUE TO THE WIPERS BECOMING INOPERATIVE AT THE TIME THEY ARE NEEDED MOST. I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE CHEVY EQUINOX (UNSURE OF THE YEAR OF THESE) THAT HAVE HAD THIS HAPPENED, PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH THEIR WIPERS STUCK UP ON THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE ALSO READ MANY FORUMS ONLINE ABOUT THIS. I SEEN A RECALL IN CANADA FOR THE EQUINOX 2010-2017 BUT THIS ISN'T COVERED IN THE US AS I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS.

MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON I TAKE CAR TO GM DEALER AND THEY TELL ME I NEED A CATALYTIC CONVERTER, THEY DIDN'T TELL ME THAT THERE WAS A SPECIAL SERVICE COVER FOR THE PART, WHEN I CALLED THEM BACK ABOUT IT THE TELL ME THAT ME CAR WAS OUT OF THE MILE PART OF THE COVERAGE AND THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF, I CALL GM AND SPOKE TO A LADY NAME ADREA AND SHE INFORMS ME THE SAME THING I TOLD HER I NEVER RECEIVED ANY THING IN THE MAIL CONCERNING IS COVERAGE, SHE SAID THE MAILED THEM OUT MARCH 2017, I ASKED IF SHE WAS ABLE TO TELL IF THERE WAS ONE SENT TO MY ADDRESS SHE COULD NOT. THIS PART IS SHOULD HAVE NEVER BE A SPECIAL SERVICE COVERAGE, BECAUSE IT IS A ENVIRONMENT ISSUES, THIS CAR IS 7 YEARS OLD. SO I HAVE BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH TRYING TO GET GM TO FIX THIS.

I HAVE A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX AND ON JULY 21ST, 2017 IT WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I'VE SEEN THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING. NO 3RD GEAR/NO REVERSE. IT SAYS IT HAS A WAVE PLATE THAT OFTEN BREAKS AND SHOOTS SHATTERED PIECES INTO THE TRANSMISSION, ALL WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR SUSPICION THAT ANYTHING COULD BE WRONG. I CALLED THE FINANCE COMPANY WHICH THEN L THEN LED ME TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TELLING ME THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR INFORMATION ABOUT ANYTHING. IT IS NOW OCTOBER 3RD, 2017 AND MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE SAME PARKING SPACE (CANNOT REVERSE TO GET OUT OF PARKING SPOT) WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS.

BEGINNING AROUND 30,000 MILES I BEGAN EXPERIENCING A CLUNKING SOUND AND JERKING WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS BECAUSE I WAS ALWAYS DRIVING IN ECO MODE. EVEN OUT OF ECO MODE I STILL EXPERIENCED THE CLUNK/JERK. ONCE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT I WAS UNABLE TO TAKE IT IN AND PAY THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO BE TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG. RECENTLY I NOTICED MORE SLIPPING ESPECIALLY WHEN ACCELERATING TO ENTER TRAFFIC ON BUSY INTERSTATE CAUSING HESITATION AND DANGER WHEN TRYING TO MERGE AT HIGH SPEEDS. AFTER GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY AND CRAWLING HOME, I PARKED THE VEHICLE WITHOUT INCIDENT. AFTER PARKING UPON TRYING TO SHIFT INTO GEAR IT REFUSED TO SHIFT AT ALL. TOWED TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WAS OUT, HAD TOWED TO GM DEALERSHIP. BATTLING GM NOW TRYING TO GET ASSISTANCE WITH REPLACEMENT SINCE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND IT WAS ACTING UP BEFORE WARRANTY EXPIRED. GM SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR NOT FIXING THIS COMMON PROBLEM

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 115,656.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE ENGINE STARTED TO HESITATE. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER IN A PARKING LOT TO CHECK THE OIL, AND NOTICED THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE RESERVOIR. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THREE QUARTS OF OIL WERE ADDED TO THE VEHICLE ONE MONTH BEFORE. THE CONTACT HAD EXPERIENCED THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE FOR APPROXIMATELY A YEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (DUTEAU CHEVROLET IN LINCOLN, NEBRASKA) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER HOWEVER, THE VIN DID NOT QUALIFY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,391.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD COVER ISSUE -THE CAR MADE A LOUD NOISE WHEN I START THE CAR. I TOOK IT TO AN AUTO REPAIR PLACE WHEN NOISE WAS UNBEARABLE AND FOUND THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD COVER WAS CRACKED AND THAT WAS CAUSING TOXIC AIR PUSHED BACK INTO THE CAR WHEN I TURN ON A/C OR HEAT WHICH IS HAZARDOUS TO THE OCCUPANTS HEALTH. SO I NEEDED TO GET IT FIXED ASAP. I GOOGLED TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY RECALL OR WARRANTY EXTENSION ON THIS PART SO I CAN TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE WAS NO RECALL OR WARRANTY EXTENSION ON THIS PART. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND CAME ACROSS COMPLAINS FROM OTHER CHEVY OWNERS REGARDING THIS ISSUE (COMPLAINS SEEN ONLINE). I CONTACTED CHEVY TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS WELL AS SEE IF THEY WOULD REIMBURSE THE MONEY I SPENT ON THIS REPAIR (OVER $600) AND THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN IT TO THEIR DEALERSHIP WHERE IN REALITY WOULD HAVE COST ME MORE THAN $1000 IF THERE IS NO RECALL OR WARRANTY EXTENSION ON THIS PART (THE CHEVY FOLKS ARE AWARE THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PART). I BELIEVE THIS IS A HEALTH HAZARD FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND DRIVE AROUND WITH A CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD COVER BECAUSE THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO MAKE THAT EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I CONTACTED ANOTHER AUTO REPAIR PLACE AND THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING ABOUT TOXIC GAS BEING PUMPED INTO THE CAR IF THAT COVER IS NOT FIXED.

AS WE WERE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET IN A TORRENTIAL RAIN STORM, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. I PULLED OVER TO A SIDE ROAD, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON, AND THEY STILL DID NOT WORK. I PUSHED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER LEVER AND THEY WOULD NOT MOVE. I WAS ON VACATION AT THE TIME AND LUCKILY FOUND A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP NEARBY. THEY DIAGNOSED THE CONDITION ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AS CORROSION TO THE FRONT WIPER TRANSMISSION. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID IT WAS EASY TO DIAGNOSE BECAUSE THEY HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE HAPPEN ON MANY CHEVROLET EQUINOX CARS. HE LOOKED UP RECALL INFORMATION AND THIS EXACT PROBLEM IS CURRENTLY RECALLED ONLY ON A 2013 CHEVROLET EQUINOX (CHEVROLET RECALL REFERENCE #25302). SINCE I HAVE A 2010 EQUINOX, I HAD TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR OUT OF POCKET FOR $240.80. THE DEALERSHIP SAID I WOULD HAVE A GOOD CASE TRYING TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THIS, SINCE IT IS AN EXACT PROBLEM HE HAS SEEN MANY TIMES AND IS CURRENTLY ON A RECALL FOR A DIFFERENT YEAR EQUINOX. I JUST CALLED CHEVROLET'S RECALL DEPARTMENT, AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, BECAUSE THEY CAN ONLY APPROVE REIMBURSEMENT FOR ACTIVE RECALLS, WHICH IS BASED ON THE VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER. IF AND WHEN A RECALL FOR A 2010 EQUINOX HAPPENS, THEN I WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT. I AM FILLING OUT THIS REPORT, BECAUSE YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT IS CURRENTLY RECALLED ON A 2013 CHEVY EQUINOX, AND DESERVES TO BE LOOKED INTO FOR THE 2010 EQUINOX AS WELL.

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR IF THE CAR DOES NOT REACH 35 MPH WITHIN THE FIRST TWO STOPS THE CAR MAKES. WHEN INITIALLY PUTTING THE CAR IN DRIVE, THE CAR ROCKS BACK AND FORTH WHILE SHIFTING INTO GEAR.

WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH THE WIPERS SUDDENLY JERKED LEFT AND STOPPED WORKING. ONE WIPER WAS OFF THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND THE OTHER WAS STOPPED IN FRONT OF MY FACE. VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE NOT ONLY WAS THERE RAIN POURING DOWN, THERE WAS A WIPER RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME BLOCKING MY VIEW. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND MOVE THE WIPERS TO THEIR NORMAL OFF POSITION BUT THEY NO LONGER FUNCTIONED. A NEW WIPER TRANSMISSION WAS REQUIRED. THE US RECALL FOR 2013 ONLY NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO MATCH THE RECALL IN CANADA. DEFINITELY A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!

LET ME START OFF BY SAYING THAT I AM ONE OF MANY HAVING THE SAME TROUBLE WITH MY 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX. ON JAN. 21, 2015 I WAS HIT BY A YOUNG DRIVER TOTALING MY 2002 S10 CREW CAB. I FEEL THIS TRUCK SAVED MY LIFE. IN NEED OF A SAFE VEHICLE I FOUND MYSELF AT BOWMAN CHEVROLET PURCHASING A CERTIFIED 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX WITH LESS THAN 41000 MILES. AT THAT TIME I RECEIVED 24 MONTHS OF OIL CHANGES/ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PLUS ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE AND BUMPER TO BUMPER FOR 12MONTHS. THIS VEHICLE SEEMED GREAT TILL MY FIRST OIL CHANGE AND MAINTENANCE. IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE SERVICED. I APPARENTLY BOUGHT A CANADIAN VEHICLE. CALLED BOWMAN ABOUT THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT BACK TO THEM ( OVER AN HR FROM HOME) AT THIS TIME I MENTIONED A FEW THINGS I FELT WERE ISSUES (MY CAR WOULD RUN ON AFTER SHUT OFF, WOULD ROLL BACKWARDS IN DRIVE AND SHIFTING WOULD PAUSE BETWEEN GEARS). ABOUT A MONTH LATER I GOT MY CAR BACK, NEW DASHBOARD WITH A FEW SCRATCHES AND A GOOD CHIP IN THE WINDSHIELD. WASN'T HAPPY BUT THEY SAID ALL WAS GOOD. UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I HAD TO TAKE IT IN, STILL HAVING RUN ONS WHEN I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND SHIFTING PROBLEMS ALONG WITH A FEW MINOR THINGS( I WAS TOLD WAS NOT COVERED BUT SHOULD HAVE BEEN STILL UNDER WHAT I WAS PROMISED BY THE 12 MONTHS BUMPER TO BUMPER) OVER THE NEXT 21 MONTHS OF MY WARRANTIES I CONTINUED TO HAVE MANY ISSUES WITH MY CAR. NEVER FULLY FIXED EACH TIME I TOOK IT IN AND BEING TOLD MANY TIMES THEY WONT DO THE RECALLS BECAUSE ITS ON A CANADIAN CAR NOT MY NOW AMERICAN CAR. ON JULY 13, 2017 DRIVING ON 96 IN CONSTRUCTION AND RUSH HR TRAFFIC WITH MY GRANDSON THE TRANSMISSION WAS LOSING GEARS AT ONE POINT THE CAR STOPPED ABRUPTLY. WE BARELY MADE IT HOME! DROVE IT TO DEALER NEXT MORNING ONLY HAD 1ST GEAR. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. HELP US ALL!

CAR VIBRATES VIGOROUSLY AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 10-25 MPH. HARD TO CONTROL IN CITY DRIVING

"TAKATA RECALL" WHILE DRIVING AND APPROACHING A STOP SIGN ON A CITY STREET IN TOWN, THE CAR STARTED AGGRESSIVELY SHAKING AND SEVERAL LIGHTS TURNED ON - SERVICE STABILITRACK, ENGINE POWER REDUCED MODE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT- THANKFULLY WE WERE ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF THE ROAD AS THE CAR WOULD NOT EXCEED 25MPH. AFTER THE FIRST TIME WE TOOK IT IN AND THEY FLUSHED THE THROTTLE BODY. LESS THAN 2 MOTHS LATER THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN. TOOK IT BACK IN AND THEY COMPLETELY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. HERE WE ARE A FEW MONTHS LATER AND NOW THE CAR WILL NOT EVEN START WITH THE SAME ICONS APPEARING ON THE DASH! IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH AND IT KICK ME DOWN TO 25 MPH THAT IS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

WE HAVE A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX WITH 66000 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED. WE WERE COMING HOME FROM A SHORT ROAD TRIP AND THE CAR STARTED TO ACT UP. WE COULDN'T GO OVER 25 MILES AN HOUR AS WE ONLY HAD 2ND GEAR. WE HAD NO REVERSE OR OTHER GEARS. WE PRAYED TO COULD LIMP IT HOME AND CALL THE TOW TRUCK TO COME AND GET IT.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. GM HAS ISSUED SERVICE BULLETINS AND EXTENDED THE COVERAGE OUT TO 120,000 MILES, DEALER KEEPS REQUIRING OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS AND VALIDATED IT WAS OUTSIDE OF SPECIFICATIONS AND STILL NOT FIXING ISSUE CLAIMING "GM" IS THE ONE REQUIRING THE TESTING

MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON FOR NO OBVIOUS REASON...I HAVE NO IDEA WHETHER OR NOT IT IS A TAKATA. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL...APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM? THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO PAY FOR THIS.

BROUGHT MY SUV IN DELERSHIP FOR RECALLS FROM 12/5/2016. IT'S BEEN IN FOR MUTIPLABLE RECALLS PLUS OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL NOW RECEIVED MY CAR BACK HAD IT FOR 2 DAYS NOW SERVICE DEPARTMENT TELLING ME MY TRANSMISSION WAVE PLATE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD RETURNED MY CAR SAYING EVERYTHING WAS FINE TO DRIVE LET ME LEAVE IN IT KNOWING THEY KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN. VERY UPSET PLUS AM OUT AROUND $800 DOLLARS THOUGHT THESE RECALLS WERE COVERED NOPE HAD TO COME OUT OF MY POCKET. NOW THEY WANT $4374.69!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CAME OUT OF THE GROCERY STORE ABOUT 9PM ON 6-28-17, AND THE CAR WON'T START. HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO EVALUATED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN ON THE ECOTEC ENGINE HAS BASICALLY MISALIIGNED AND SHREDDED PARTS IN IT'S PATH, DESTROYING THE ENGINE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND SEE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPENING AND THIS VIDEO LINK: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=AEEUYUNUHGS I CHATTED ONLINE WITH CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO SAYS THAT THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING SINCE I HAD NOT BOUGHT THE CAR "CERTIFIED" AT A GM DEALERSHIP. THE ESTIMATE FOR THESE REPAIRS IS VALUED AT MORE THAN HALF OF WHAT THE CAR IS FINANCED FOR. I'M FEELING LIKE I HAVE A GIANT PIECE OF JUNK ON MY HANDS. LUCKILY IT DIDN'T SEIZE UP WHILE DRIVING. SO FAR MY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE INCLUES $93.00 FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND AN ADDITIONAL $44.00 TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER'S MECHANIC FOR THEM TO DO AN EVALUATION 7-5-17. PROBABLY LOOKING AT $5,000 TO $7,000 OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR AND GET BACK ON THE ROAD. CERTAINLY CAN'T AFFORD THAT. IT PRACTICALLY ADDS UP TO BE THE PRICE OF BUYING A NEW ONE.

BUSHINGS FOR WIPER ASSEMBLY WENT BAD. THEY WENT OUT WHEN DRIVING ON A RURAL ROAD. SEEMS LIKE A PART LIKE THAT WOULD LAST LONGER THAN 7 YEARS. NOW I'M FINDING THAT YOU CAN'T BUY THE BUSHINGS. ONLY BUY THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY SNAP RING IN TRANSMISSION BROKE AND JAMMED IN GEARS CAUSING CAR TO SUDDENLY STOP AND NEAR ACCIDENT,,,,KNOWN PROBLEM IN THIS 6 SPEED AUTO.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS SNAPPED AND STUCK TOWARD THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, TOUCHING THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR, WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN- THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS IN USE. THIS CREATED A STARTLING VISUAL BARRIER AND POSED A SAFETY RISK. AFTER PULLING OVER AND PLACING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS IN THE CORRECT POSITION THEY NO LONGER WORKED.

DRIVING TO WORK IN RAINSTORM WITH WIPERS ON HIGH AND WIPERS STOPPED DEAD. FUSE TO WIPERS WERE GOOD. ENDED UP WIPER TRANSMISSION WAS WIPED. VERY DANGEROUS FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. WHEN DRIVING. COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC.

ON MAY 14, 2017 WHILE DRIVING IN A RAIN STORM ON 287 IN NJ, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED ON THE WINDSHIELD. I COULD SEE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AS IT WAS POURING RAIN. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY PULL OVER. I HAD 4 OTHER PEOPLE IN THE CAR WITH ME. WHEN I FINALLY RETURNED HOME ( I HAD TO WAIT OUT THE STORM), I TOOK THE CAR TO GET SERVICED AS I COULD NOT DRIVE IT WITHOUT PROPERLY WORKING WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER TRANSMISSION HAD DIED . THIS EXACT ISSUE ON THE 2010 EQUINOX HAS BEEN RECALLED IN CANADA BUT NOT THE US.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE WIPERS FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE LOCAL DEALER (DAN PERKINS SUBARU LOCATED AT 1 BOSTON POST RD, MILFORD, CONNECTICUT) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V582000 (VISIBILITY). THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO CALL NHTSA TO HAVE HER VIN ADDED TO THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE ANTELOPE VALLEY CHEVROLET DEALER IN LANCASTER, CA WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL INJECTION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 58 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AS WELL AS MAKING A GRINDING AND BANGING NOISE INSIDE THE MOTOR. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST POWER. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER.

I STARTED TO DRIVE TO A MEETING DURING EVENING RUSH HOUR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL. HEARD THE ENGINE REV, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALER IN MANUAL MODE AT A SLOW SPEED. THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, WHICH IS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION, TO FIND OUT IF THERE IS MECHANICAL FAILURE. AFTER REPLACING THE CONTROL MODULE, THEY SAID THAT THE CAR STILL WOULD NOT MOVE, AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE TRANSMISSION APART. COST TO REPLACE THREE PISTONS AND FORWARD CLUTCH FRICTION PLATES WOULD BE $3844 PLUS TAX. THE CAR IS A 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX LT AWD WITH 89000 PLUS MILES. REGULAR DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND CITY ROADS IN FLORIDA. I CALLED CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY DECLINED TO OFFER ANY COMPENSATION FOR THE TRANSMISSION STATING MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL ONLINE FORUMS WITH A LOT OF DISSATISFIED CONSUMERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR MANY YEARS THAT HAS BEEN NEGLECTED BY CHEVY. IN MY OPINION THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE EXPERIENCED BY SO MANY CONSUMERS SHOULD WARRANT AN INVESTIGATION/RECALL BY NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION SAFETY AUTHORITY.

THE TRANSMISSION LINKAGE FAILED WHILE DRIVING IN RAIN ON THE FREEWAY FORCING THE DRIVER TO LOSE VISIBILITY IMMEDIATELY AND MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP ON THE SHOULDER. MY UNDERSTAND IS THAT THERE'S A TSB FOR THE PROBLEM BUT IT'S NOT CLASSIFIED AS A RECALL DUE TO NOT BEING A SAFETY ISSUE(???).

JUST DRIVING HOME FROM HUNTSVILLE, AL AIRPORT TOOK OFF FROM STOP SIGN ON A MAIN ARTERY STREET IN THE CITY AND MY RPM GAUGE JUST CLIMBED LIKE CRAZY AND I WAS NOT MOVING VERY FAST SO I PULLED OFF MAIN ROAD. I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND TRIED TAKING OFF AGAIN IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO BE O.K. SO I PULLED BACKED ONTO ROAD WHEN TRAFFIC CLEARED AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN SO KNOW AT THIS POINT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING PRETTY BAD WITHOUT ANY WARNING I LIMPED IT HOME AND CALLED DEALER HE THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN AND THEY WOULD CHECK AND ADDVISE FOR $95.00 THEY SAID IT WASNT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY I HAD 85000 MILES ON IT. THEY DIAGNOSED THE TRANS HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $4700.00 I COULD NOT AFFORD THAT SO I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A LOCAL TRANS SHOP FOR REPAIRS. ENDS UP ITS A 6SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANS AND THE REPAIR SHOP HAD TO REPLACE THE 1/3/5 DRUM SOME KIND OF PLATE BROKE INSIDE THE HOUSING THE OWNER OF THE TRAN SHOP SAID IT A REAL PROBLEM GM HAD 2008/09/10 THEY HAVE AN UPDATED DRUM AND SNAP RING FOR REPAIRES. I FEEL LIKE CHEVROLET SHOULD BE RESPONSABLE AT LEAST FOR SOME OF REPAIR COST. THATS MY STORY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE IDLING AT A RED LIGHT, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE RPMS INCREASED TO 5,000.

WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR/LINKAGE ASSEMBLY BECAME DISENGAGED AFTER JUST UNDER TWO MINUTES OF USAGE ON HIGH WHILE DRIVING IN A TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR. MECHANIC HAD TROUBLE FINDING A REPLACEMENT BECAUSE "ALL OF THE REPLACEMENTS WERE 'RESERVED' FOR DEALERSHIPS.. WHICH HE TOOK TO MEAN, THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM.

CAR LOOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING

WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, MY GAS PEDAL BECAME UNRESPONSIVE. THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. UNABLE TO KEEP MY SPEED, I WAS UNABLE TO MAKE A STOPLIGHT AND HAD TO STOP. WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKES, THE RPM FOR MY VEHICLE WERE STEADILY AT 6-7000. AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL, RECEIVED A JOLT AS IF THE CAR WAS ACCELERATING, BUT WAS SLOWLY MAKING MY WAY UP TO 20 MPH. AS THE TIME TOOK NEAR 30 SECONDS TO MAKE THE CLIMB ON A FLAT ROAD TO 20 MPH, I DECIDED FOR MY SAFETY TO HIT MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS. AROUND THAT TIME, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED TO A SIDE STREET AND HIT 'ONSTAR'. THEY WERE ABLE TO GIVE ME TWO CODES THAT APPEARED. P0776 AND P0700. WHILE TALKING TO ONSTAR, MY CAR WAS IN PARK AND AGAIN THE ENGINE WAS PUSHING 7000 RPMS. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO MAKE IT TO MY HOUSE AS THE CAR WAS BARELY ABLE TO MAINTAIN IT'S SPEED. THE NEXT MORNING I WAS CURIOUS IF I WAS ABLE GET THE CAR OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY OR IF IT COULD MOVE IN A FORWARD MOTION. I WAS FORCED TO PUSH MY CAR OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AS I COULD NOT GO IN REVERSE AT ALL AND AGAIN I NOTICED THAT THE CAR COULD BARELY MOVE FORWARD. AFTER HAVING MY CAR RETURNED FROM SPECIALIST IN TRANSMISSIONS, THEY GAVE ME PICTURES OF WHAT THEY FOUND. WHICH I INCLUDED FIVE WITH THE COMPLAINT. THE ISSUE AFTER TALKING TO THE DEALERSHIP IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND BY READING THOSE TWO CODES WERE ABLE TO INSTRUCT ME THE PARTS THAT BROKE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION WITHOUT OPENING IT UP OR CHECKING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID.

OIL CONSUMPTION.6 MONTHS AGO CALLED ANTELOPE VALLEY CHEVROLET 1160 MOTOR LANE, LANCASTER,CA ABOUT OIL CONSUMPTION. I NOTICED NO OIL WAS VISIBLE ON THE ENGINE OIL DIP STICK. THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED MAKE SURE TO FILL IT UP AND WATCH IT NO NEED TO BRING IT IN AT THIS TIME. ON MARCH 15, 2017 THE VEHICLE POPPED AN ENGINE CODE FOR BOTH KNOCK SENSORS AND PERFORMANCE OF THE SENSORS. I THEN MADE AN APPOINTMENT THAT EVENING FOR THE FOLLOWING MORNING. AFTER MAKING THE APPOINTMENT I CHECKED THE ENGINE OIL AND NO OIL WAS PRESENT AT THAT TIME AGAIN. I ADDED 2.5 QUARTS OF OIL TO MAKE THE DRIVE TO DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING.

THE ENGINE OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON DURING THE LAST SIX MONTHS.THE DEALERSHIP STATED THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A PRICE OF $8,000. AS A MILITARY MEMBER WHO HAS MOVED 6 TIMES IN LAST 3 YEARS IT IS REALLY HARD TO KEEP RECEIPTS. THE DEALERSHIP STATED WITHOUT MAINTENANCE RECORDS THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING OR PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT WE CAN HAVE YOU TALK TO SALES DEPARTMENT AND SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO FOR YOU. ON MONDAY MARCH 20, 2017 I WENT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WANTING TO TALK WITH SERVICE MANAGER ROBERT. HE STATED THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT SERVICE RECORD AND I FINALLY CONVINCED HIM TO SUBMIT IT FOR WARRANTY WORK. THAT EVENING I CALLED CORPORATE AND SPOKE WITH CUSTOMER CARE. THEY TOOK MY CLAIM AND CALLED ME BACK ON MONDAY MARCH 27, 2017. CORPORATE STATED THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING OR PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. TODAY, MARCH 29, 2017 SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED ME AND STATED THEY WOULD NOT DO ANY WARRANTY WORK. I THEN STATED I WILL PICK MY VEHICLE UP AND WILL BE FILING AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT. GENERAL MOTORS IS NOT BACKING THEIR PRODUCT UP OF THIS KNOW ISSUE

WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE SPEEDS UP BUT THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE ALMOST LIKE IT IS OUT OF GEAR..IT REVS AND THEN WILL BE OK AND BACK TO NORMAL SPEED AND I WAS ON A SURFACE STREET. NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME.LUCK FOR ME. AT TIMES MAKES A HIGH PITCHED SOUND WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING. THE NEAREST DEALER IS NOT 20 MILES FROM MY HOME. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE.

I OWN A 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX. I WAS HAVING SOME ISSUES WITH MY STABILITRAK, ABS BREAKS AND MY ALL WHEEL DRIVE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER. THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW RIGHT FRONT HUB AND MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED. SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER TAKEN CARE OF AS IT IS A PROBLEM CHEVY PAYS FOR. THE NEXT DAY I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND I NOTICED MY CAR WASN'T SHIFTING. I STOPPED AND HAD A TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY FIXED THE CONVERTER AND PUT A SPEED SENSOR IN MY TRANSMISSION BECAUSE MY CAR SIMPLY WOULDN'T MOVE. I PICKED UP MY CAR AFTER THEM HAVING IT FOR TWO WEEKS. THAT DAY I NOTICED IT WAS SHIFTING EXTREMELY HARD GOING FROM 3RD TO 4TH GEAR. I PURCHASED A NEW HUB AND A NEW WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AND HAD THEM INSTALLED. WHILE LEAVING THE GARAGE THAT INSTALLED THESE NEW PARTS I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN IT TURNED GREEN I PUSHED THE GAS PEDDLE AND MY CAR JUST SAT THERE AND REVVED. I TURNED OFF AND BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT BACK TO THE GARAGE AND THERE IT SAT, REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING BUT REVV. SINCE THIS HAS STARTED I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM FOR THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITHIN THIS SPECIFIC TRANSMISSION I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO.

OIL CONSUMPTION, EVERYTIME I GET AN OIL CHANGE THE CAR HAS BURNT NEARLY HALF THE OIL THAT WAS PUT IN THE CAR IN 3000 MILES. ALSO MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON FOR A BAD CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND I KNOW SEVERAL OTHER EQUINOX OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

CAR ONLY HAS 89K MILES AND IT'S HAVING ISSUES WHEN IT'S ACCELERATING AND SWITCHING GEARS. IT ALSO STALLS OFTEN WHILE IN MOTION. ALSO HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY DEFROSTER CONTROLLER. SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A RECALL IN THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL BUT MY VIN DOESN'T QUALIFY

I GOT A RECAL ABOUT MY AIRBAGS . WHEN I TOOK IT IN THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE SEATBELT TINSHNER WAS AT FALT AND THAT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. THE DEALER IS PHELTIER CHEVY IN TYLER TEX.

I BOUGHT A 2010 EQUINOX NEW, AT 49,000 MILES THE TRANSFER CASE WENT OUT OF IT AND NOW 6 MONTHS LATER AT 55,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT IT WAS THE 3-5 REVERVSE WAVE PLATE WE WERE TOLD THAT SHATTERED. AND SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY OF COURSE GM WOULD NOT HONOR TO GET THIS PLATE FIXED EVEN THOUGH IT ONLY HAD 55,000 MILES ON IT. WE WERE TOLD THESE PLATES WHEN THEY WERE HARDEN THEY WERE HARDEN TO HARD AND SO THEY SHATTER. THIS IS DEFIANTLY A GM ISSUE AND THEY SHOULD REPAIR THESE AT NO COST BUT THEY WON'T ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THIS TRANSMISSION JUST HAPPENED ALL AT ONCE I PUT IT IN GEAR AND THERE IT WENT OUT. IF GM IS GOING TO BUILD A THROW AWAY CAR AT 50,000 MILES THEN THEY SHOULD SELL IT AS A THROW AWAY CAR. THEY KNOW THEY HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS BUT THEY KEEP SOCKING THE CONSUMER FOR COSTLY REPAIRS BECAUSE ALL THEY CAN SAY IS IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. YOU WOULD THINK YOUR CAR WOULD LAST MORE THAN 55,000 MILES.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. EVERY 1,000 MILES OR LESS I NEED TO ADD AT LEAST 1 QUART OF OIL. NO OIL LEAK. HUBLER CHEVROLET IN INDIANAPOLIS HAS INVESTIGATED THE ISSUE. THEY ALSO INDICATED NO LEAK AND THAT THE VEHICLE IS CONSUMING EXCESSIVE OIL. THEY RECOMMEND PISTON AND RING PLACEMENT. I DECLINED SERVICE AT THAT TIME AS THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL ON 2010 EQUINOX FOR THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER, MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL. I SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE FROM GM AND THEY SUGGESTED I CONTACT NHTSA TO SEE IF MY CAR CAN BE CONSIDERED PART OF THE RECALL SINCE I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND RECOMMENDED REPAIRS AS OTHER 2010 EQUINOX. HUBLER CHEVROLET SERVICE MANAGER RECOMMENDED I CHECK THE OIL 500 MILES TO ENSURE ADEQUATE OIL AND ADD IF NECESSARY. ATTACHED IS THE RECALL PAPERWORK I FOUND FOR THE 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX, WHICH DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. ALSO ATTACHED IS THE RECEIPT WITH DIAGNOSTIC AND RECOMMENDED REPAIR FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. PLEASE CONSIDER MY REQUEST TO ADD MY VEHICLE AND ANY OTHER 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX WITH THE SAME PROBLEM TO THE ACTIVE RECALL TO FIX THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. WHILE I STAY ON TOP OF CHECKING THE OIL, I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT MY ENGINE WILL LOCK UP WHEN I AM DRIVING. I TRULY FEEL UNSAFE IN MY VEHICLE. THANK YOU.

TAKATA RECALL. BUMPED A CURB (FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE) AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED (ON A REGULAR ROAD MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN) AND ALL AIRBAGS DEPLOYED EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE NO PASSENGERS. FRONT TIRE WAS RESTING AT CURB (DID NOT GO OVER CURB BECAUSE WAS NOT GOING FAST ENOUGH). ENDED UP WITH A BROKEN NOSE, STITCHES ON FOREHEAD, EYEBROW, TWO AREAS OF NOSE BECAUSE OF CUTS FROM AIRBAGS. ALSO EXTREMELY SWOLLEN HAND WITH FRACTURES.

I PREVIOUSLY FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA ON 7/10/16 CONCERNING THIS WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR PROBLEM. WIPERS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING DURING TORRENTIAL RAIN ON I-95 @ 5PM DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN CHECKING FOR RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE I SEE A RECALL #16V582000 DATE 8/14/2016. THIS IS THE EXACT PROBLEM I HAD BUT THE RECALL IS ONLY FOR 2013 EQUINOX. I WENT TO CHEVY DEALER FOR REPAIR SHORTLY AFTER THE INCIDENT AND THIS PROBLEM IS PRECISELY WHAT HE DETERMINED WITH MY CAR. I AM HOPEFUL THAT THIS COMPLAINT WILL BE RESUBMITTED TO INCLUDE THE 2013 MODEL EQUINOX. PLEASE REFER TO MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT FORM FILED WITH YOU ON 7/10/14 REFERENCE #I0609595 . PLEASE CONTACT ME AT THE PROVIDED SOURCES IF YOU NEED FURTHER INFORMATION.

MY VEHICLE STARTS OWN ITS OWN AND KNOW I HAVE THE ENGINE LIGHT ON AND THE AIR CONDITIONING TURNS ON OWN ITS OWN!!!! PLEASE HELP.

FOUR TIMES WITHIN THE LAST TWO MONTHS THE STABILE SYMBOL, CHECK ENGINE SYMBOL, AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER ALERT HAVE COME ON. THE FIRST TIME HAPPENED WHEN I WAS PARKING, THE 2ND TIME WHEN I LET THE CAR WARM UP, THE 3RD TIME WHEN I WAS DOING 60MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND THE 4TH TIME WHEN I HAD GONE ABOUT 5 BLOCKS ON A CITY STREET. EACH TIME I WAS DRIVING, THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND BECAME HARD TO CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND CUT OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER SITTING FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, THE REDUCED POWER ALERT WENT OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. AFTER ABOUT A DAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OUT. THE CAR WILL RUN OK FOR A DAY OR TWO AND THEN START TO ACT UP AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THAT IT PROBABLY HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE GAS MEDAL, HOWEVER THE DEALER HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO DETECT A CODE. I AM CONCERNED THAT I WILL BE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING AT A HIGH SPEED WHEN IT HAPPENS AND NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER TRAFFIC. *TR
