2011 Chevrolet Equinox SUV AWD

Has 103,000 miles and is using a lot of oil. Will stop running in the middle of traffic. Must turn off engine and restart. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't. When restarted it will only run approximately 45 mph. Just purchased car one year ago.

Windshield wiper linkage motor/ transmission. Replaced once already. Stopped working again. Bushings are crap. Having to replace the whole thing for bad bushings.

Transmission is slipping out of first gear to second, reverse Sticks, hard shifts from first gear to second gear to third gear

The suv would not go in to drive when you change gears it only, goes in reverse.

has the bad problem of oil consumption now at 120k miles its want even run anymore

My car was purchased used at a Chevrolet dealership. I noticed right away that the carjerks when I accelerate, it also stalls when trying to accelerate when making a turn which cam cause an accident. The vehicle revs and slowly moves and then takes off. Its a dragging motion when driving its very slow. The steering wheel locks when turning as if I need power steering fluid. This car is a hazard, waiting to happen. When starting it, it makes this loud humming noise. I just had it inspected and the mechanic said the car was fine, but driving it is a different story.

The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated while checking the oil in the vehicle, he noticed that there was little to no oil on the dipstick. The contact stated that he changed the oil and that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the local dealer nor an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

Once on a while the power steering locks for approximately 3 or 4 seconds and a light that’s looks like some pliers lights up. It probably be a issue with the power steering motor.

The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that the vehicle had been diagnosed with excessive oil consumption by an independent mechanic. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning while depressing the accelerator pedal. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed him that the failure was a known issue however, the warranty on the vehicle had expired. The contact was then transferred to the NHTSA by the manufacturer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000

The engine oil rings are faulty ,it's a manufacturer issue but lawsuits have been the only outcome .it also has many environmental hazards involved as well as public safety as this vehicle spews massive amounts of oil and gas and other nasty things out onto the road behind it from the exhaust.

THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ONE YESTERDAY 05/11/2021 BUT THEN TURNED OFF. IT WILL ALERT WHEN I START THE CAR AND INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING.

BOUGHT THE EQUINOX USED.SURE WISH I WOULD HAVE RESEARCHED BETTER. IT RAN DRY OF OIL. DASH READ 55% OIL LIFE AT THE TIME. CAR JUST CUT OFF ON ME AND AFTER DISCOVERING A DRY DIPSTICK AND REPLENISHING OIL, IT SOUNDED LIKE A BROKEN SEWING MACHINE, VERY LOUD RATTLING! CAR SHAKES SO BAD WHILE STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, WE ARE SCARED IT IS JUST GOING TO DIE IN TRAFFIC.CAR WILL NOT IDLE TO WARM UP. IT CUTS OFF.AND ONCE I GET GOING, I ALMOST HAVE TO PUMP GAS PEDAL STEADILY TO KEEP IT RUNNING. HORRIBLE!!! AND MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN

THE CAR ALWAYS NEEDED OIL, AND WE DID KNOW WHY TIL THE TIMING BELT WENT AND THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED AND IT COST US OVER 2850.00 THEN WE FOUND OUT GM PUT A BAD SPRAY OILER FOR THE TIMING BELT AS FOR THE GOING THROUGH SO MUCH OIL WE ARE UNSURE. I DID HEAR OF A LAWSUIT WE JUST WOULD LIKE OUR MONEY BACK FOR THE MOTOR REPLACEMENT IT'S A VERY BAD LEMON GM ON THE 2.4 LITER ENGINE THEY MADE

CAR KEEPS DYING WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, STOP SIGNS, STOP LIGHTS ECT. IDLES VERY ROUGHY, AND IS VERY LOUD. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON.

NOT LONG AFTER MY LAST OIL CHANGE, MY 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX STARTED A TICKING SOUND UPON ACCELERATION WHICH WORSENED TO A LOUD KNOCKING. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR GARAGE AND TOLD THE MECHANIC WHAT WAS HAPPENING. AFTER HEARING THE ENGINE KNOCKING, HE SHUT THE CAR OFF AND PROCEEDED TO CHECK THE OIL. IT WAS BONE DRY. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE CHEVY EQUINOX WAS NOTORIOUS FOR ITS OIL CONSUMPTION CAUSING THE ENGINES TO BLOW, AND THAT HE WAS AFRAID MY ENGINE WAS RUINED & WOULD NEED REPLACED. HE PUT FOUR QUARTS OF OIL IN THE ENGINE & THE KNOCKING STOPPED. LUCKILY, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN AND I WAS STILL ABLE TO DRIVE IT. BUT THE MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS A TIME BOMB, AND THAT BECAUSE OF ITS OIL CONSUMPTION THE ENGINE COULD BLOW AT ANY TIME. WHEN I GOT HOME I RESEARCHED ONLINE REGARDING THE EQUINOX AND WAS SHOCKED TO FIND MORE AND MORE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR EQUINOX AND HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENGINES. I ALSO READ ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE EQUINOX FOR ITS OIL CONSUMPTION, AND THAT MOST PEOPLE WERE HAVING GREAT DIFFICULTY GETTING GM TO DO REPAIRS, DENYING CLAIMS AND GIVING THEM "THE RUN-AROUND". NOW I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET A DIFFERENT VEHICLE BECAUSE I USED ALL MY MONEY TO BUY THIS EQUINOX. I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE AN ENGINE EITHER. I AM AT A GREAT LOSS BEING STUCK WITH THIS "TIME BOMB" THAT GM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR BUT WON'T FIX. I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED LESS THAN A YEAR AGO & IT HAS 116,000 MILES. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE OR ANY PAPERS FROM GM.

I AM CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING ISSUE WITH MY 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX. VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING, IDLE'S ROUGH, AND SOUNDS LIKE A ROUGH. MY VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING.

FIRST TIME: MARCH 21 - NJ TURNPIKE. CAR "STABILITRAK ICON" AND SERVICE STABILITRAK" MSG & "TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR" LIGHT, THEN "BRAKE ICON" AND "ABS ICON" WITH "SERVICE POWER STEERING" MSG, THEN "SERVICE ALL WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM" MSG - ALL WHILE THE ICONS ARE ON - CAR LOST ALL POWER. CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NJ TURNPIKE AT ALMOST EXIT 18E/W. HAD VEHICLE TOWED, TOOK FIRST TO FIRESTONE A DAY LATER, THE FOUND A CODE THEY SAID NEEDED THE CHEVY COMPUTERS (P069E, U0073, D1231) - TOOK TO CHEVY A WEEK LATER (BELLAVIA CHEVY, RUTHERFORD, NJ), DEALER SAID THEY FOUND NO CODES - COULD BE THE BATTERY. WE CLEANED THE PORTS, CHANGED THE BATTERY. HAD NEW TIRES INSTALLED AT FIRESTONE ON 4/9. 4/9 PICKED UP THE CAR, THIS TIME DRIVING FROM NORTHERN NJ TO BROOKLYN AND THE EXACT SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN, ONLY THIS TIME, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VERRIZANO BRIDGE IN STATEN ISLAND. ALL THE SAME LIGHTS / SYMPTOMS AS ABOVE, LOST ALL POWER. MANAGED TO GET OFF AT THE 92ND STREET EXIT AND INTO A PARKING SPACE - TOWED TO PARENTS HOUSE IN BROOKLYN, MADE APPT W/ CHEVY DEALER FOR MONDAY 4/12 (BAY RIDGE CHEVROLET OF BROOKLYN). VEHICLE IS NOW WITH THEM, AWAITING DIAGNOSTIC - THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND FOR THE FIRST DEALER TO NOT BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE / GET A CODE AND THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN. I'M NOW OVER 500.00 IN DIAGNOSTICS FEES THAT DID NOT FIX ANYTHING. BOTH TIMES WERE HIGHWAY DRIVING, WEATHER CONDITIONS WE GOOD BOTH DAYS.

MY ABS AND STABILITRACK LIGHT WOULD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY WAS TOLD IT'S A BAD SENSOR AND REPLACE WHEN POSSIBLE. ON THE WAY TO TAKE MY KIDS TO SCHOOL, (NO WARNING LIGHTS PRESENTED) I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 25 MPH THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN APPROACHING A STOP SIGN I DEPRESSED MY BRAKES. IMMEDIATELY THE ABS AND STABILITRACK LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT DEPRESS MORE THAN 1/2' AND MADE A GEAR LOCKING SOUND. I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP USING MANUAL DOWNSHIFT AND PUMPING THE BRAKES. WHEN PRESENTING TO MECHANIC, I WAS ADVISED TO ATTEMPT TO REPLICATE. READ THAT AGAIN. I WAS ADVISED TO ATTEMPT TO REPLICATE A BRAKE FAILURE.

TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THE PROBLEM IS THE SPEED SENSOR. IT WAS REPAIRED FOR $463.91. I THEN TRAVELED 31/2 HOURS AWAY FOR A MONTH. THE NEXT DAY THE LIGHT AGAIN APPEARED BUT I WAS TRAVELING AND I CALLED TWICE TO THE DEALER SERVICE PERSON AND THERE WAS NO RETURN CALL..WHEN I RETURNED 4 WEEKS LATER I BROUGHT THE CAR IN THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD FOR $585.00 I COULD HAVE THE LEFT REAR WHEEL REPAIRED.FRANKLY I FELT LIKE I WAS BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF, I'M 80 YEARS OLD. I REFUSED THEIR OFFER. IN THE PAST I RECEIVED NOTICES OF POTENTIAL PROBLEMS WITH THE EQUINOX BUT THE DEALER SERVICE PEOPLE DO NOT INFORM, MAYBE BECAUSE THEY ARE ON A COMMISSION PLUS SALARY INCOME.

I HAVE A 'SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT ' GOING OFF ON MY 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX. LIGHT GOES OFF WHEN STARTING THE CAR AND FREQUENTLY WHILE DRIVING IT

EXCESSIVE OIL USE. BURNS 1 QUART OF OIL PER WEEK. REQUIRES 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 300 MILES. THIS IS GETTING INSANELY EXPENSIVE AND ANNOYING. NO LOW OIL LIGHT COMES ON BUT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES. I NEVER LET THE ENGINE START TO KNOCK BEFORE ADDING OIL, BUT THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM HERE. AND IT SOUNDS LIKE LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE. GM NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE THEY GET SUED DRASTICALLY.

MY REPAIR STABILTRAK LIGHT CAME ON IN THE DASH . THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED, MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT , IS ON . MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKE LIGHT IS ON . ALL OF SUDDEN WHEN I PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC MY CAR LOSES POWER ON ACCELERATION AND MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ENGAGED . I HAVE TO PULL OVER SO I'M NOT REAR ENDED . THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND ON HIGHWAY . THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE STABILTRAK/ TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. I ONLY HAVE 89,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE . I SEE THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON CHEVY EQUINOX . I'M WORRIED ABOUT BEING KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT SINCE MY VEHICLE LOSES POWER WITHOUT WARNING . THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE RECALLED !

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, OIL ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT ALERT WHEN OIL IS LOW. JUST CHECKED OIL DIPSTICK IS BARE AND I HAVE 3000 MILES TO GO BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE. LOW OIL ALERT DOES NOT ALERT TO THE ISSUE THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE OCTOBER 2020. IT WAS ONLY BY CHANCE THAT THIS WAS FOUND, NO WARNING SIGNS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LOW ON OIL. LAST OIL CHANGE TOOM TO DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGE AND IT WAS STATED THE OIL LEVEL DIDN'T REGISTER ON DIPSTICK.

CAR WAS USING EXCESS AMOUNTS OF OIL YET THE OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. I HAD ALL REGULARLY SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES. IT HAD BEGUN MAKE A CLANKING/RATTLING NOISE DURING ACCELERATION. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, IT WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY OF OIL AND NO OIL LEAK. IT WAS STATED THAT MY CAR HAD AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE PER SERVICE BULLETIN 15285C.

THIS 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX IS PART OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT (ELLEN BERMAN, ET AL. V. GENERAL MOTORS LLC - CASE NO. 2:18-CV-14371). GM KNEW ABOUT THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND THE LACK OF OIL GAUGES, RESULTING IN PISTON WEAR AND FAILURE, CAUSING ENGINES TO SEIZE, YET CONTINUED TO MANUFACTURE THEM AS IS FOR YEARS AFTERWARD. HAD TO HAVE ENGINE REBUILT, COSTING ALMOST $4,000. RECEIVED DENIAL OF ANY REIMBURSEMENT FROM ANALYTICS CONSULTING LLC, WHO IS THE SETTLEMENT ADMINISTRATOR. VEHICLE IS NOT WORTH SELLING TO ANYONE, NOR WOULD I, IN GOOD CONSCIENCE, PUT THIS RUST BUCKET OUT THERE FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE OIL ISSUE. (CONTINUES TO LEAK). GOT UPSIDE-DOWN ON LOAN...HAD TO USE TAX REFUND TO PAY IT OFF. WOULD REALLY LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE ENGINE REPAIR AND LABOR COSTS. IT'S THE RIGHT THING FOR GENERAL MOTORS TO DO. WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GM PRODUCT! I AM SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF MY YOUNG DAUGHTER, TO WHOM THIS HAPPENED.

I HAVE HAD CONSTANT HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION, HAVE HAD TO REPLACE VVT SOLENOIDS TWICE, TIMING AND BALANCE SHAFT CHAINS HAD TO BE REPLACED, ENGINE MISFIRING. CAN BARELY GO 2 MONTHS WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. ALWAYS SOMETHING WRONG. I'VE LOOKED THIS UP AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THIS ENGINE.

OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE WITH THIS ECOTEC 2.4L ENGINE. CONSUMING AT LEAST A QUART OF OIL A WEEK DUE TO FAULTY PISTON RINGS.

I HAD GOTTEN AN OIL CHANGE ON SEPTEMBER 4TH 2020. A FEW DAYS LATER I DROVE TO GEORGIA TO PICK UP MY BOYFRIEND THE DAY WE GOT BACK WE STOOD HOME THE ENTIRE DAY THE FOLLOWING DAY I WENT TO GO TURN ON MY CAR AND GO SOMEWHERE THE CAR TURNED ON AND THEN IT IS IMMEDIATELY TURNED BACK OFF MY CAR HAS NOT TURNED ON SINCE THEN AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT.

ICE FORMED IN THE PCV BREATHER TUBE, BLOCKING THE PCV SYSTEM, CAUSING PRESSURE BUILDUP AND OIL TO EXPLODE OUT OF THE OIL DIPSTICK TUBE. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THIS ISSUE IS SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSED IN GM'S TSB 14882, COVERING THIS VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THE VIN WAS NOT COVERED, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A 2011 EQUINOX WITH A 2.4L ENGINE AND THEY SEEM TO HAVE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH PCV SYSTEMS FREEZING UP AND CAUSING A WIDE RANGE OF PROBLEMS. I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR MY TOW AND REPAIR COSTS.

OIL WEAR OUT IN TWO WEEKS N ENGINE BLEW UP.IN THE CITY STREET.

2.4 LITER ECOTECH ENGINE USED IN 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX IS IN CURRENT RECALL BY GM. GM IS USING VIN NUMBER TO PREVENT RECALL REPAIR TO VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN 2018 DURING RECALL. LOCAL DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR WITH SUBSTANTIAL COST UP FRONT. DEALER IS AWARE OF ISSUE WITH VEHICLE FROM CONVERSATION WITH LEAD TECHNICIAN WHO HAD BEEN INSTRUCTED TO DETER ANY REPAIR OF THIS VEHICLE TO UP FRONT COSTS ONLY. VIN WILL NOT SHOW RECALL DUE TO GENERAL MOTORS COST OF REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF ENGINE.

CAR CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING SAYING REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND SERVICE SYABILI TRACK CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON

I HAVE EXPERIENCED AT LEAST 6 POWER STEERING FAILURES WHILE DRIVING IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS (JULY 2020 THRU JAN 2021) THAT ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. FAILURES HAVE HAPPENED FROM 15 MPH TO 60 MPH. ELECTRIC ASSIST SHUTS OFF AND WARNING INDICATOR FOR POWER STEERING SERVICE COMES ON. DO NOT NEED TO BE TURNING IN ANY SIGNIFICANT WAY OR IN ANY PARTICULAR DIRECTION TO TRIGGER IT. HAPPENED ON HOT DAY IN JULY AND COLD DAY IN JANUARY AND TIMES IN BETWEEN. STEERING, ESPECIALLY AT LOW SPEEDS, BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT. POWER STEERING CAN USUALLY BE RESTORED BY STOPPING VEHICLE AND TURNING SUV OFF FOR TENS OF SECONDS, SOMETIMES AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. POWER STEERING FUSE SEEMS TO BE FINE. IT SEEMS LIKE GM HAS HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS IN OTHER VEHICLES. I HAVE NOT SOUGHT REPAIR YET BECAUSE I CAN'T PRODUCE THE PROBLEM ON DEMAND.

VEHICLE HAD EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION DUE TO PISTON RING WEAR. THIS LEAD TO A BEVY OF OTHER ISSUES, ICLUDING TIMING CHAIN DAMAGE, MANIFOLD DAMAGE, SELENOID DAMAGE, PISTON DAMAGE. DOCUMENTS NOT AVAILABLE FOR UPLOAD DUE TO ORIGINALS BEING WITH CLASS ACTION ATTORNEYS

NOTICING EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPION WITH OUT WARNING FROM THE CAR'S COMPUTER. THE CAR DOES START TO HAVE OPERATING ISSUES AND WILL CHUG AND TURN IT SELF OFF IF THE OIL DOES RUN LOW BEFORE I CAN CATCH IT. THE ONLY SYSTEM NOTIFICATION FOR THIS IS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. NO OIL NOTIFICATIONS APPEAR.

MANY 2011 EQUINOXS HAVE HAD THEIR TIMING CHAIN RECALLS. MINE IS AT 9000 MILES AND NEEDS A NEW TIMING CHAIN

ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. TIMING CHAIN FAILURE CAUSING MAJOR DAMAGE TO ENGINE, FUEL PUMP FAILURE, CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION .

THE ENGINE OIL HAS BEEN BURNING EXCESSIVELY HAVING TO PUT OIL IN IT A WEEK AFTER OIL CHANGE THE ENGINE NOW HAS DIED

2011 EQUINOX HAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND IS GETTING WORSE. THIS VEHICLE HAS A RECALL THAT IS VAGUE WHICH IS TO SAY IT IS A POPULAR ISSUE WITH NO DIRECT RESOLUTION.

1) SEATBELT LIGHT COMES ON DESPITE HAVING SEATBELTS SECURED. IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU START THE CAR AND STAYS ON THROUGHOUT ALL ASPECTS OF DRIVING UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. 2) SERVICE STABILITRAC LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY FLICKERS ON AND OFF WHILE THE RADIO FLICKERS OFF AND ON, AS THOUGH THE VEHICLE WERE POSSESSED. 3) THE PREVIOUS ENGINE CONSUMED EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. IT RESULTED IN THE PREVIOUS ENGINE BEING REPLACED A FEW MONTHS AGO. NEW ENGINE IS BURNING OIL JUST AS FAST AS THE OLD ONE. WITHING ONE MONTH THE DIPSTICK WAS REGISTERING AS BELOW THE BOTTOM LINE WITH 2 MONTHS AND APPROXIMATELY 3K MILES LEFT BEFORE NEXT SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE, PER JIFFY LUBE'S STICKER.

THE 2.4L ENGINE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING BEFORE THE DATE LISTED, THE CAR STALLED ON TWICE ON INTERSTATE 69 SHE HAD TO MOVE TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE TO RESTART THE CAR. THIS WAS DUE TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION IN CAR. SHE DID NOT FEEL SAFE IN THAT CAR AT ALL. ATTACH WIL BE THE BILL OF THE ENGINE REPAIR DUE TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION

TIMING BELT BROKE. A LOT OF OIL CONSUMING THE CAUSE OF THAT

MY ENGINE BLEW DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION FROM BAD O RINGS ON THE PISTONS.

CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON HIGH WAY NO SIGNS OF WARNING LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD MY WIFE WAS STRANDED WITH MY 1 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER TOWED TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP CAR ONLY HAD 84000 MILES ON IT WAS TOLD MY ENGINE WAS TOTALLY DESTROYED FROM TIMING CHAIN SUPPOSEDLY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED 6000 DOLLARS LATER TOTAL REPLACEMENT 😡 THANK GOD MY FAMILY WAS NOT HURT IN THIS EVENT CALLED GM CORP TO COMPLAIN AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL NOT HAPPY FROM WHAT I READ THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF CUSTOMERS I JUST HOPE NO ONE GETS HURT!!!!!!!!! ALSO THEY SAID NO RECALL AND IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY

I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY TRANSMISSION SINCE FOREVER BUT NOW IT'S WORSE. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO HAVE AN OPEN RECALL. IT IS NOT FAIR THAT WE PURCHASE THESE VEHICLES AND HAVE TO PUT SO MUCH MONEY INTO THEM BECAUSE THEY COME FAULTY. ANYTIME I HIT MY BRAKES WITH A HEAVY FOOT MY CAR WILL STAY STUCK IN FIRST GEAR. I'VE BEEN ON THE HIGH WAY AND IN BUSY STREETS. I CAN'T GO FASTER THEN 10 MPH. I STAY STUCK AND HAVE TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE OFF FOR ABOUT 10 MINS TO GET IT TO RUN AGAIN. IT'S CONSTANTLY SHUTTERING AS WELL. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT EVERYONE HAS THE SAME COMPLAINTS. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER (BY SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT 15810), HOWEVER THE TECHNICIAN INDICATED THAT I HAD A CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD... WHICH WAS NOT COVERED BY THE SPECIAL COVERAGE. IT IS CRAZY THAT AN EXHAUST MANIFOLD FAILS! IT SEEMS TO BE A DEFECTIVE PART AND THE TECHNICIAN SAID IT MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE EXTRA PRESSURE DUE TO THE CLOGGED CATALYTIC CONVERTER. GM REFUSED TO REINBURSE THIS SERVICE.

I WAS HEADING INTO WORK ON A WEDNESDAY. EXITING THE HIGHWAY THERE WAS A MASSIVE SHUTTER IN TRANSMISSION AS IT DOWNSHIFTED ON THE EXIT RAMP.TURNING ON TO A BUSY STREET, U.S.36, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUTTER AS IT WAS SHIFTING INTO THE NEXT GEAR. BY THAT TIME I NEEDED TO SLOW DOWN FOR A STOP LIGHT. AS I BEGAN TO INCREASE IN SPEED THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTERED VIOLENTLY. THEN THE TACHOMETER WAS PEGGED AND REDLINING AND WAS NOT GAINING SPEED. WITH A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC PILING UP ON ME AND NOWHERE TO GO, I TURNED ON THE FLASHERS. I BEGAN COASTING BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT FUNCTIONAL. ENGINE RUNNING FINE WITH NO ACCELERATION.THERE I WAS DEAD IN THE ROADWAY WAITING TO BE REAR ENDED..AFTER THE TRAFFIC EASED UP. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TRIED TO DRIVE AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY GO ABOUT 10MPH AND THEN STOP PROPELLING ME FORWARD. COASTING TO ANOTHER STOP. PUTTING INTO PARK AGAIN AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE. AGAIN ONLY GETTING UP TO ABOUT 10MPH BEFORE TRANSMISSION WOULD STOP MOVING FORWARD. I DID THIS NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE I COULD FIND A SAFE LOCATION TO PULL INTO. THIS EPISODE ENDED IN A $3400 TRANSMISSION REPAIR. THE MASTER MECHANIC SAYS HE SEES THIS SO MANY TIMES WITH VEHICLE. I FIND THIS TO BE UNACCEPTABLE FOR AN AUTO MANUFACTURE TO PRODUCE SUCH AN INFERIOR PRODUCT THAT UNTIMELY PUTS THE PUBLIC SAFETY IN JEOPARDY.

VEHICLE BEGAN EXPERIENCING ROUGH IDLE, POOR DRIVEABILITY, AND ALSO STALLED AT LOW THROTTLE OPENING WHILE LEAVING A PARKING LOT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH CODE P0010

ENGINE TYPE CONSUMES EXCESS OIL. THIS HAS CAUSED MY OIL TO RUN OUT ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND MY VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING, SPECIFICALLY WHEN DECELERATING THE RPMS WILL DROP TO CAUSE ENGINE TO FAIL. DRIVING WITH NO OIL WILL CAUSE THE ENGINE TO BLOW UP ONE DAY OR ANOTHER.

MY TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. HAVE HAD MY VIECHLE FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS AND MY TRANSMISSION IS MESSED UP AGAIN OIL IS BURNING AND THEY CAR SHOPS HAVE NO IDEA WHERE ITS GOING. JERKING CAR WHEN FOOT IS ON BREAK WHIRRING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATE OR TURNING

WHILE DRIVING IN RAIN, IN THE LEFT LANE WHILE PASSING A TRUCK AT 65-70MPH, IN THE DARK, THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER ARM CLICKED A FEW TIMES AGAINST THE A-PILLAR THEN CEASED WORKING. FORTUNATELY THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER CONTINUED TO FUNCTION.

MY ENGINE FAILED DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION DUE TO PISTON RING WEAR!

MY IGNITION WAS GETTING JAMMED AND STUCK WHEN TURNING THE TRUCK ON. WHILE DRIVING I FELT SOMETHING LOSING POWER MY GEARS FELT REALLY SLOW

IT BURNING SO MUCH ENGINE OIL AND RUNNING OUT FROM OIL FOR UNDER 900 MILES AND CAR IS UNDER 120000

MY ENGINE WAS MAKING NOISE SO I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP. THEY SAID A BOLT BROKE BY THE TIMING CHAIN. THEN THEY SAID IT MESSED UP THE BLOCK AND THE ENGINE NEEDS REPLACED. I WOULD START UP MY CAR AND I HEAD A RATTLING NOISE LIKE SOMETHING WAS LOOSE. I WOULD HEAR THE VIBRATION NOISE

MY EQUINOX LTZ 2011 KEEP SHUTTING OFF WITHOUT A WARNING WHEN I'M BACKING UP ON A RED LIGHT OR A STOP NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SHOW BUT IT KEEP DOING IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. THE DRIVER'S SIDE WIPER BLADE WAS BENT OVER THE DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO VEER OFF THE ROAD INTO A GRASSY AREA AT THE APARTMENT COMPLEX. THERE WAS NO CRASH REPORTED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VIN. THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT SHE WOULD BE CALLED BACK IN TWO OR THREE DAYS. THE CONTACT REFERENCED AN UNKNOWN NHTSA INVESTIGATION ABOUT WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 136,000.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER ISSUE, HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP, CAR SHAKES, BALKING WHILE ON IDLE OR STOP ON RED LIGHT, HEAVY CHAIN ROLLING NOISE. SPENT MORE THAN $3K SO FAR BUT STILL COMES WITH DIFFERENT PROBLEMS EVERY NOW AND THEN. ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AND BUNCH OF DIFFERENT CODES SHOW UP WHILE CHECKING. CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK. WIPER BLADES DON'T CLEAR PROPERLY. PROBLEM LIST CAN GO ON AND ON. CAR SHUTS OFF BY ITSELF AND IT HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES. ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED BY ITSELF AND COULDN'T GO MORE THAN 20 MILES/HOUR ON A HIGHWAY WITH FAMILY INSIDE THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED HOWEVER, THE MILEAGE WAS EXCEEDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 164,000.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY DURING HIGH DOWNPOUR. WIPERS REACHED THE END OF THE SEQUENCE AND STOPPED. HAD TO PULL OVER IN POURING RAIN AND HIGH TRAFFIC, CAUSING MAJOR CONCERN AND A MAJOR SAFETY EVENT.

WIPER LINKAGE FAILED IN HEAVY RAIN WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE

DRIVING IN POURING DOWN RAIN AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. HIGH SAFETY CONCERN.

I WAS DRIVING ON OUR CITIES BYPASS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR BEGAN TO JERK AND NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE. AFTER GETTING TO A PLACE THAT I COULD SAFELY PULL OVER, I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK AND LISTENED. THE CAR SEEMED TO BE RUNNING FINE. I THOUGHT MAY BE IT WAS BAD GAS BUT I WAS ON A HALF TANK AND HAD BEEN DRIVING WITH THE SAME GAS FOR ALMOST A WEEK WITH NO ISSUES. I TRIED TO DRIVE HOME AND WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND WENT TO PRESS THE GAS, NOTHING HAPPENED. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I COULD HEAR ACCELERATION, BUT THE CAR DID NOT BUDGE. I PUT IT IN REVERSE AND THE SAME THING OCCURRED. I AM READING THAT TRANSMISSION FAILURE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH MANY 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX OWNERS. I HAVE A LITTLE UNDER 124,000 MILES. ITS TOO MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE FOR IT NOT TO BE RECALLED BY GM. THIS IS NOT A INEXPENSIVE FIX AND IS NOT FAIR TO CONSUMERS.

MY VEHICLE IS DYING WHEN STOPPING AND RUNNING ROUGH WHEN COLD STARTED. IT JERKS AND TURNS OFF AT A STOP, BUT TURNS ON IMMEDIATELY AFTER. IT USED TO OCCASIONALLY HAPPEN, NOW IT'S EVERY TIME I STOP.

MY 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX RAN OUT OF OIL IN BETWEEN REGULAR OIL CHANGES DUE TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE WITH THE INCORRECT SIZED PISTON RINGS. THIS ESCALATED QUICKLY AND DESTROYED MY TIMING CHAIN WHICH DESTROYED MY ENGINE.

I HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY PUT QUARTS OF OIL IN TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T RUN DRY. IT'S BEEN A CONSTANT ISSUE WITH MECHANICS I'VE TAKEN IT TO AT THE DEALERSHIP SAYING THEY'VE SEEN EVERY EQUINOX THEY WORKED ON HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINES BURNING THROUGH OIL.

MY EQUINOX SUFFERS FROM THE OIL CONSUMPTION DEFECT WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO CONSUME OIL AT AN USUALLY HIGH RATE. ALTHOUGH SEVERAL FEATURES OF THE VEHICLES' ENGINES CONTRIBUTE TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION DEFECT, THE PRIMARY CAUSE IS FAULTY PISTON RINGS. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND THEIR WAS EVEN A LAWSUIT THAT WAS RECENTLY SETTLED. I HOWEVER DO NOT QUALIFY FOR THE FREE REPAIR BECAUSE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE LATER MAY 16, 2019. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE GM IS AWARE OF THE FAULTY ENGINEERING THAT WENT INTO THE MANUFACTURING OF THIS VEHICLE.

I DROVE HOME AND PARKED MY CAR. WHEN TO STARTED MY CAR THE FOLLOWING MORNING AND PUT IT IN DRIVE. MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD ONLY BACKWARDS. I HAD KNOW IDEA THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS GOING. I WENT TO THE CHEVY DEALER MANY TIMES EARLIER FOR OIL CONSUMPTION AND MY THE SOUND OF MY TRANSMISSION AND THEY SAID THAT THE JUST SOUND OF THE CAR. IF THEY HAD BEEN HONEST AND TOLD ME THE TRUTH I COULD HAVE GOTTEN MY TRANSMISSION FIXED MANY YEARS EARLIER. THANKFULLY MY OIL CONSUMPTION WAS FIXED ONLY BECAUSE I CALLED CORPORATE AND PUSHED THE ISSUE. I BELIEVED THE DEALER WHEN HE TOLD ME ALL THE EQUINOX SOUND LIKE THAT. NOW I HAVE TO PAY OVER $3000.00 FOR THAT LIE. MY CAR IS BEING FIXED BY HOBBY'S TRANSMISSION IN HICKSVILLE, NY AS WE SPEAK. MY CAR IS A LEMON. CORPORATE TOLD ME THAT MY CARE WAS IN THE BATCH OF CARS THAT HAVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I WILL BE CALLING THEM ABOUT MY TRANSMISSION ON MONDAY, 6/22/20. *TR

POWER STEERING INTERMITTENTLY STOPS WORKING . IT DID IT TO MY WIFE ON 6/8/20 IN THE RAIN .IT DID IT TO ME 6/9/20. IT WAS DRY. IT HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES TO ME . IT DOES NOT STALL NO LIGHTS OR ANYTHING IT JUST STOP WORKING .ALWAYS WHEN TURN RIGHT . MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. IM NOT SURE MY WIFE WILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE IT, *TR

CHEVY EQUINOX WAS TRAVELING IN THE SLOW LANE ON HIGHWAY. SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED ERRONEOUSLY, NO CONTACT TO THE VEHICLE. *TR

IT KEEPS CUTTING OFF AND THE OIL KEEPS GOING EMPTY SOME SAY RECALL 11195A MITE BE THE PROBLEM BUT I DON'T KNOW JUS GOT THE CAR AND WHEN I START IT UP THE PEDDLE GETS STUCK AND STARTS RITE BACK UP IN MOTION AND SOON AS YOU BACK UP AND SOON AS YOU TURN OUT IT CUTS OFF ON THE HIGH WAY AND ON CITY STREET AND TURNING. *TR

VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 109,000 MILES AND SUDDENLY, THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. I FIGURED OUT THAT IT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IN REVERSE ONLY, SO I MOVED IT TO A SAFE LOCATION. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED INTO THE DEALER (OUT OF WARRANTY) AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT SINCE IT WAS A CLOSED SYSTEM THAT THERE WERE A FEW OPTIONS. IN THE END, I WENT TO REPLACE WITH A NEW TRANSMISSION AND HAVE THE WARRANTIES...THE COST WAS ABOUT $2000 FOR MINIMAL WARRANTIES OR OVER $5000 FOR FULL WARRANTY. I FELT THAT WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW WITH 5 MILES ON IT THAT IT WOULD LAST LONGER THAN IT DID. I REALLY HAVE HAD NO UNHANDLED PROBLEMS WITH THE DEALER OR GM IN GENERAL, BUT FEEL THAT TO HAVE NO WARNING, LIGHTS, FLUID CONCERNS OR ANYTHING OCCUR TO GIVE ME WARNING THAT THIS IS HOGWASH...I HAVE KEPT UP MY MAINTENANCE, OIL AND FLUID PER GUIDELINES AND AS STATED...DO NOT FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE OCCURRED WITHOUT ANY WARNING! *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN ON A HIGHWAY MY FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS SIMPLY STOPPED FUNCTIONING IN THE UP POSITION CAUSING AN INABILITY TO SEE WHERE I WAS GOING. THEY DID NOT RESPOND TO REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO TRY TO TURN THEM BACK ON. THIS CREATED A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE I HAD TO DO MY BEST TO SAFELY PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. MY HAZARD LIGHTS ALSO FAILED TO WORK MAKING THE SITUATION EVEN MORE DANGEROUS. BOTH WIPERS AND HAZARDS WHERE PREVIOUSLY WORKING. *TR

OIL CONSUMPTION HIGH, METAL PARTICLES IN OIL, CV AXEL JOINT BAD

LAST YEAR OUR TRANSFER CASE BROKE. FORTUNATELY THE FAILURE WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND WE AVOIDED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO THE COMPLETE FREEZING UP OF THE FRONT END. WE SIMPLY STARTED DRIVING AND THERE WAS A LOUD CRACK AND THEN THE STEERING FROZE. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT, COLLISION OR ANY OFF ROAD OR ON ROAD EXPERIENCE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS. IT WAS CLEARLY A MAJOR PART THAT SHOULD NEVER FAIL THIS WAY. THE MECHANICS HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE. OTHERS SINCE HAVE SUGGESTED WE FILE A COMPLAINT AND SEEK COMPENSATION BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE FAILURE. WE HAVE WRITTEN GM AND INCLUDED PHOTOS. WE ATTACHED THE REPAIR BILLS, WHICH TOTALED $4,466.63, AND ARE SEEKING FULL COMPENSATION. *TR

THIS CAR IS INTERNALLY BURNING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. I HAVE NO EXTERNAL OIL LEAKS. I AM ADDED AT MINIMUM 5 QUARTS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES, OTHER PARTS ARE BEGINNING TO FOUL BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUES, THE OIL LIGHT DOES NOT EVEN COME ON TO LET ME KNOW IF IT LOW ON OIL. I AM A WINDOWED WOMAN AND THIS IS NOT RIGHT. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I DO WHAT I AM SUPPOSE TO DO AND TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF THIS CAR, HOWEVER THIS IS OUT OF MY CONTROL AND APPARENTLY IS A HUGE ISSUES. WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS, I WOULD NEVER HAVE PURCHASED IT TO BEGIN WITH. CHEVY NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT! *TR

OIL CONSUMPTION

BURNS OIL EXCESSIVELY, 1 QUART PER 10 DAYS. NO LEAKS . COSTLY REPAIRS, AND MAINTENANCE

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AN I STOPPED. TRIED GIVING IT GAS AN RPMS JUST WENT UP. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT IN 1ST GEAR AN GO ABOUT 20MPH FOR ABOUT 2 MILES AN THEN LOST ALL GEARS. IT IS AT THE SHOP NOW AN I JUST GOT THE DIAGNOSIS. NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I BELIEVE IT IS TIME FOR GM TO TAKE ALL OF THIS SERIOUSLY AN FIX THE PROBLEM THERE ARE TO MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING WITH NOTHING BEING DONE. I CANT AFFORD THIS AN MOST PEOPLE CAN'T BUT YET WE ARE FORCED TO PAY FOR IT. AFTER 100S OF THE SAME ISSUE IT CANT BE THE OPERATOR ERROR IT HAS TO BE THE MANUFACTURE ITS SELF

WITH NO WARNING, THE CAR JUST STOPPED. I HAD NO REVERSE OR FORWARD. I WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY AND YOU COULD TELL IT WAS HESITATING. WENT A FEW MORE MILES AND THANKFULLY MADE IT TO A PARKING LOT. WHEN MY HUSBAND ARRIVED, THE CAR WOULD JUST REV. WE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. THE CAR HAS UNDER 80,000 MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION GOES? THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS THAT CHEVY IS RIPPING PEOPLE OFF WITH THESE CARS! I HAVE READ SOO MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THIS HAPPENING TO THE 2011 EQUINOX AND THERE IS NOT SOMETHING FISHY OR RECALLS ON THIS? YOU PAY ALOT OF MONEY FOR VEHICLES AND THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO A CAR THAT HAS BEEN BABIED, TAKEN CARE OF! I WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY AGAIN!! WHEN IS THIS GOING TO BE RECALLED??????? AFTER HOW MANY COMPLAINTS AND CARS DOES IT TAKE TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM???

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF IN MIDDLE OF ROAD WITHOUT WARNING. IT WOULD NOT RESTART AND HAD TO PUSH IT OFF THE STREET AS TO NOT GET HIT.

IT STARTED MAKING A LOUD NOISE LIKE A DIESEL ENGINE AND IT WILL JUST CUT OFF FOR NO REASON. I KEEP UP ALL MY MAINTENANCE IT HAS LOW MILEAGE. IT WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT CUT OFF AND I ALMOST HIT AN 18 WHEELER.

THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE! I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN MY CITY AND IT CUT OFF SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I WAS SLOWING DOWN APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT CAUSING SOMEONE TO ALMOST HIT ME! I HAVE HAD SO MANY ISSUES SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR(WISH I NEVER WOULD HAVE) I HAD TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION AT 102,000 MILES, I HAVE TO PUT 2-3 QUARTS OF OIL IN MY CAR EVERY 2 WEEKS, AND NOW IT IS CUTTING OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING! THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE RECALLED AND NEVER MADE AGAIN!!!

2 DAYS AGO (2/26/2020) NOTICED 2 "JUMPS" AS REVERSING AND AGAIN YESTERDAY. THIS MORNING, BARELY WAS ABLE TO GET CAR REVERSED OUT OF DRIVEWAY. IT FELT AS IF REVERSE GEAR WAS "SLIPPING". AFTER WORK, REVERSE GEAR TOTALLY USELESS, HAD TO PUSH CAR OUT OF PARKING SPACE AT WORK AND ALL FORWARD GEARS WERE "SLIPPING" AND UNABLE TO ACCELERATE VEHICLE. TOWED CAR MECHANIC WHO SAID, "YOUR TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REBUILT OR REPLACED " AND "THESE CARS ARE KNOWN FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER PROBLEMS". HE SAYS REPAIR WILL BE AT LEAST $2500 AND MAYBE AS HIGH AS $4,000.

VEHICLE WON'T REVERSE, RPM SURGING DURING ACCELERATION CAUSING HARD SHIFTING/JERKING OR NO SHIFT AT ALL. GOOGLING THE ISSUES BROUGHT UP MANY OTHER 2011 EQUINOX'S WITH SAME ISSUES.

I HEARD A POP AND THEN MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT COMPLETELY IN THE RAIN. I COULD HEAR THE MOTOR BUT THE WIPERS WOULDN'T MOVE. I HAD NO VISABILITY WHATSOEVER. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY.

I HAD THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE AT THOMAS CHEVROLET IN MEDIA, PENNSYLVANIA DUE TO OIL BEING LOW. FOLLOWED UP EVERY 1,000 MILES AND THE OIL WAS ALWAYS 1/2 QT OR MORE LOW. ON DECEMBER 3, 2018, I HAD MY OIL CHANGED AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO ISSUES WITH THE OIL. THE MILEAGE WAS 71,392. I BROUGHT IT BACK FOR AN OIL CHANGED ON MARCH 14, 2019 WITH THE MILEAGE BEING 73,996, WHICH IS ONLY 2,604 MILES LATER. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT MY ENGINE WAS DESTROYED. THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND DESTROYED MY ENGINE! HOW DOES AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE GO FROM YOU HAVE AND ISSUE WITH YOUR CAR BURNING OIL TO NO THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH OIL CONSUMPTION???? I COULD HAVE BROKEN DOWN ON A HIGHWAY WITH THIS ISSUE! THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BUT REPLACE THE ENGINE FOR $8,000.00 BUT NO GUARANTEES! I COULDN'T AFFORD TO PAY $8,000 SO I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO MY HOUSE WHERE IT HAS BEEN SITTING EVER SINCE. HOW CAN GMGET AWAY WITH THIS? EVEN THE GENERALMANAGER TOLD ME THAT GM KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND WON'T FIX IT!

I STARTED HAVING ISSUES AFTER A COUPLE MONTHS OF BUYING MY VEHICLE. MY RPM WOULD SPUTTER AND I WOULD ALWAYS CHECK MY OIL AND IT WOULD BE A QUART LOW. THIS WENT ON FOR MONTHS AND I CONTINUED TO DRAIN MONEY INTO MY VEHICLE WITH BUYING OIL. I REPLACED SEALS THINKING IT WAS A OIL LEAK AND IT WASN'T IT. MY ENGINE FINALLY WAS JUST SHOT SO NOW I'M OUT OF A CAR AND OWE MONEY ON IT STILL AND DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. I AM VERY UPSET WITH THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE BC I DID RESEARCH ON IT AND A LOT OF COMPLIANTS ON THIS CAR BURNING OIL. CRAZY THAT NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING TO FIX THE ISSUE. I GUESS CHEVY IS CRAP NOW AND JUST WANT TO LOOSE CUSTOMERS. I WON'T BE BUYING A CHEVY AGAIN AND WILL NOT RECOMMEND

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON HWY 35 OUTSIDE OF DRESSER, WI AND THE CAR DASH LIGHTS SUDDENLY LIT UP AND THE CAR MADE A LOUD RATTLE AND SMELLED LIKE BURNING OIL. THERE WAS NO WARNING. I WAS 2 MILES FROM HOME SO I CAME STRAIGHT HOME. WE CHECKED THE OIL AND ADDED 3 QUARTS OF OIL BEFORE TAKING IT APROXIMATELY 2 MILES TO OUR MECHANIC. THEY CHECKED THE ENGINE AND CONFIRMED THE RATTLE WAS DEEP IN THE MOTOR AND THE MOTOR HAD BLOWN. AFTER INSPECTION, THEY FOUND THAT A SMALL PORT IN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD WAS CLOGGED. THIS CAUSED A PRESSURE BUILD UP AND THE REAR SEAL TO BLOW. WE WERE ALSO THEN TOLD THEY HAD BEEN SEEING A LOT OF THIS PROBLEM IN CHEVY EQUINOX MODELS. WE HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR FOR A TOTAL COST OF $5750.51.

THIS SHOULD CLEARLY BE A RECALL BASED ON ALL THE POSTE EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. ALL MY LIGHTS COME ON STABILITRACK, ABS, CHECK ENGINE, STEERING FLUID. I BARELY HAVE ANY POWER, AND MY SPEED SENSOR NO LONGER READS AT ALL. ALSO MY OIL BURNS EXTREMELY FAST. LINK TO FORUM WHERE EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. HTTPS://CHEVROLETFORUM.COM/FORUM/EQUINOX-23/SERVICE-STABILITRAK-CHECK-ENGINE-LIGHT-62780/PAGE11/

TWICE IN ONE YEAR THE TIMING CHAIN GUIDES BROKE CAUSING MOTOR DAMAGE AND THE CAR TO STALL WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT BOTH TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. UPON PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT BURNED EXCESSIVE OIL WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT RECEIVED AN UNKNOWN RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THE OIL CONSUMPTION AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO JOE HOLLAND CHEVROLET & IMPORTS (210 MACCORKLE AVE SW, SOUTH CHARLESTON, WV 25303). THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED PER THE RECALL BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. DUE TO THE OIL FAILURE, THE HEAD GASKET BLEW OUT IN THE ENGINE. THE INDEPENDENT DEALER THAT SOLD THE CONTACT THE VEHICLE AGREED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE FOR $3,000. AFTER THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED, THE FAILURE CONTINUED WITHOUT WARNING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP, CAMSHAFT, AND BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

CAR SHUTS OFF ON ITS OWN, I RECENTLY TOOK IT TO GET IT DIAGNOSED AND DIDN'T SHOW ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. NO ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, NOTHING SEEMS OUT OF THE ORDINARY, JUST THAT ITS STARTING TO SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN OUT OF NO WHERE AND LOOSES POWER. I WILL BE AT A STOP LIGHT AND I WOULD ACCELERATE BUT AS I ACCELERATE THE CAR SHUTS OFF. ALSO, ITS HAPPED ON THE FREEWAY DURING TRAFFIC TIMES, WHEN ITS HEAVY IN TRAFFIC AND REQUIRES ME TO STOP FOR A WHILE AND THEN ACCELERATE IT EITHER LOOSES POWER OR SHUTS OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE, IT FELT AS IF THE VEHICLE WERE SLIPPING. THE CONTACT PARKED AND NOTICED TRANSMISSION OIL UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CALLED A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK COMING FROM THE TRANSFER CASE, WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATION NUMBER: 10043933 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,870.

PULLED ONTO A MAIN HIGHWAY, TRAVELING AT TRAFFIC SPEED WHEN TRANSMISSION FAILURE LEFT US IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. HAD TO BE PUSHED OFF THE HIGHWAY, AND THEN TOWED TO A GARAGE, WHERE TOLD TRANSMISSION FAILURE IS COMMON WITH THESE CARS. REPAIR COST OF 4100$

AT RED LIGHT,MY CAR CUT OUT. WOULDN'T TURN OVER. HAD IT TOWED AND MY MECHANIC SAID IT WAS TIMING CHAINS, WHICH AFFECTED ENGINE. CHECKED 8 OF 16 VALVES THAT WERE BENT, ALONG W/8 ROCKER ARMS CRACKED AND TORN OFF. $4000 TO FIX THIS ISSUE, MONEY I DO NOT HAVE. MECHANIC SAID GM KNOWS ABOUT THESE ISSUES AND REFUSES TO DO A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR TEN PLUS YEARS.

ENGINE IS USING 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY THOUSAND MILES, I PURCHASED IT FROM WEST CHEVROLET IN ALCOA TN I HAVE BEEN SPENDING LOTS OF MONEY TRYING TO KEEP OIL IN THE ENGINE FOR TWO YEARS. SINCE 7/24/17

I JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX LT AWD, AND SOON AFTER I BEGAN DRIVING IT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH CODE P0420 CATALYST SYSTEM EFFICIENCY BELOW THRESHOLD. CHEVY HAD ISSUED SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT 15810 IN AUGUST 2016 WITH REGARD TO THE CATALYST SYSTEM, BUT THE MILEAGE WAS OVER THE COVERAGE LIMIT OF 120,000 WHEN THE SCA WAS ISSUED, AND CHEVY WON'T COVER THE ISSUE NOW.

MY 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX HAS HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS, I GOT THE CAR WITH 49,000 MILES ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TIMING CHAIN ALREADY DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. NOW MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS BAD DUE TO OIL CONSUMPTION. MY CAR NOW HAS AROUND 130,000 MILES AND I SEEN THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR THE 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. IT ALSO POSES A SAFETY RISK AS IT CAN CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE WHILE THE CARS ARE IN MOTION. THERE ARE TIMES I ADD A WHOLE QUART OF OIL AND 3 DAYS LATER I HEAR A TICKING NOISE AND MY OIL IS COMPLETELY GONE. MY CAR CONKS OUT AT STOP SIGNS ONCE IN A WHILE, IT TAKES TIME TO ACCELERATE. ALSO MY PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT DOES NOT WORK IT'S STUCK TO THE POINT WHERE YOU CAN'T USE IT.

WHILE ACCELERATING ON FRWY RAMP, SUDDEN CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE, I GOT TO THE SHOULDER, HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY REGULAR REPAIR GARAGE, HE HAD SEEN THIS BEFORE, A PLATE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION SHATTERS WITH NO WARNING, HAD CAR TOWED TO TRANSMISSION SHOP, THEY DIAGNOSED THE SAME THING, SAID THEY HAVE REPAIRED 4 TO 5 EVERY YEAR AND IT'S A FLAW WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS. THEY COMPLETELY REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION AND SHOWED ME THE BROKEN PARTS. COST WAS $3400.00. CALLED THE CHEVY DEALER FOR REIMBURSEMENT AND THEY DENY ANY DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING DEFECTS AND REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. I THINK YOU SHOULD INVESTIGATE THESE TRANSMISSIONS FOR EARLY FAILURES DUE TO A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND MAKE CHEVY EXTEND THE WARRANTIES ON THEM. MY CAR HAD ONLY 52000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS FAILURE. I WAS LUCKY TO GET TO THOSE SHOULDER SAFELY. IF I CAN PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT ME. ALSO, PLEASE INFORM ME OF YOUR INVESTIGATION.

I BOUGHT THE CAR AND DROVE IT FOR A COUPLE WEEKS. ABOUT EVERY 200-400 MILES I WOULD HAVE TO ADD OIL. SOMETIMES WHEN CHECKING THE DIP STICK THERE WOULD BE NO OIL AT ALL ON THE DIP STICK. AFTER WEEK 3 I WAS DRIVING AND THE REDUCE ENGINE POWER CAME ON. I HAD IT TOWED 360 MILES TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM AND WAS TOLD THE ENGINE IS JUNK AND SOMETHING IN THE TIMING CHAIN HAD FAILED. THE DEALER WON'T STAND BEHIND THE VEHICLE ONE BIT AND NEITHER WILL THE FACTORY SO NOW I'M STUCK WITH A CAR THAT DOESN'T RUN AND HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW MOTOR.

RATTLE AND NOISE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE AS SOON AS VEHICLE IS TURNED ON AND WHILE IN MOTION, MAKING WEIRD NOISES AND MOVEMENTS WHILE DRIVING, OCCASIONAL HARD SHIFT, BACK REAR DRIVERS TIRE LOSING PRESSURE FOR NO REASON, PULLING CODE FOR P0420, DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND SEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUES ON THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL BUT NO RECALL ON MY VIN OR HISTORY OF RECALL, WHILE OTHERS SAID DEALERS HAD SAID IT WAS DUE TO A RECALL. JUST BOUGHT FROM BAXTER DEALERSHIP IN BELLEVUE, NE TWO WEEKS AGO.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING DURING DOWNPOUR WHEN DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY. MOTOR STILL WORK BUT WIPERS NOT MOVING.

A FEW DAYS AGO AFTER WORK I STOPPED FOR GAS AND TOOK A DIFFERENT ROUTE HOME. I LIVE IN A CITY WITH TRAFFIC SO I IDLE A LOT. WHILE STOPPED, MY 'SERVICE STABILITRAK' AND 'ENGINE POWER REDUCED' CAME ON. THERE WAS NO WHERE I COULD GO BUT UP THE EXPRESSWAY. ONCE I SPED UP, THE CAR PROCEEDED TO TURN OFF. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER ON TOP OF THE EXPRESSWAY. AFTER THAT, THE CAR WOULDN'T TURN ON ANYMORE. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES, EVERYTHING STARTED FLICKERING AND THEN IT HAD NO ELECTRICITY RUNNING AT ALL. NOT EVEN MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS. THIS WAS REALLY SCARY BECAUSE PPL ARE DRIVING REALLY FAST NEXT TO ME AND AND IT WAS ALREADY NIGHT TIME. I FINALLY GOT HELP AND HAD IT TOWED THE NEXT MORNING. THE KEY WAS STUCK IN THE IGNITION BUT STILL NO SIGN OF LIFE UNTIL AFTER IT WAS TOWED. I CAN'T AFFORD TO TAKE IT IN JUST YET BUT I AM EXTREMELY SCARED TO DRIVE IT AS I AM A SINGLE PARENT WITH NO FAMILY IN THIS NEW CITY.

THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL FREQUENTLY AND HAS METAL SHAVINGS IN OIL.

THE VEHICLE WAS LOUDING WHILE RUNNING, I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL TRUSTED MECHANIC. UPON INSPECTION HE DETERMINED THAT THE MANIFOLD HAD A LARGE CRACK IN IT CAUSING EXCESSIVE FUEL CONSUMPTION AND THE ENGINE BEING LOUD. IN DISCUSSING THE ISSUE WITH THE MECHANIC HE ADVISED ME THAT HE FIXED THE SAME EXACT ISSUE, CRACKED MANIFOLD, WITH ANOTHER CUSTOMERS VEHICLE (SAME MAKE AND MODEL 1 YEAR NEWER). I CALLED CHEVROLET'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY BASICALLY SAID THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUE WITH THE MANIFOLD.

AFTER HAVING FAILING O2 SENSORS AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED (UNDER WARRANTY), NOW THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS CRACKED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (NOT UNDER WARRANTY). THE O2 SENSORS AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER ARE ATTACHED TO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD - COULD THEIR FAILURES BE WHY THERE IS A CRACK IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD!?!? MY VEHICLE WAS MAKING A VERY LOUD CLATTERING SOUND WHEN STARTING THAT WOULD GO AWAY AFTER A FEW MINUTES. I TOOK IT INTO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, THEY SAY THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS CRACKED, AND EXHAUST IS LEAKING OUT. AT TIMES I COULD SMELL EXHAUST FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ONLY 110,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD AT ABOUT 55MPH AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. THEY GOT STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND THE MOTOR MADE SOUNDS AS IF IT WAS WORKING BUT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DID NOT MOVE. IT WAS RAINING AND WE HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IDLING ROUGH SINCE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE ON 9/6/19. THE VEHICLE ALMOST FEELS AS IF I AM CONTINUALLY TAPPING MY BREAKS ALTHOUGH MY FOOT IS ON THE BREAK AND ON 10/12/19 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON SO I HAD THE CODES RAN AT AUTOZONE WHICH STATED TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. 2 DAYS PRIOR MY MOTHER WHO PURCHASED A 2013 EQUINOX HAD HER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON FOR THE SAME ISSUE AFTER JUST PURCHASING HER CAR 2 WEEKS AFTER ME.

SHORTLY AFTER I FINANCED THE VEHICLE IT STARTED HAVING ISSUES WHILE IDLING, IF I IDLE TOO LONG IT WILL START TO SHAKE AND WILL SHUT DOWN. I HAVE POURED MONEY INTO FIXING THE VEHICLE AND SPENT THE LAST TWO 3 YEARS TRYING TO FIX THE ORIGINAL ISSUE OF IT SHUTTING DOWN. I WILL LOSE THROTTLE IN THE GAS PEDAL AND IT WILL JUST TURN OFF OUT OF NOWHERE WHILE I'M DRIVING AWAY FROM MY HOME. IT SEEMS TO NOT LIKE WHEN I IDLE OR DRIVE SLOW WHEN I'M ON THE FREEWAY I HAVE TO MAKE SURE I'M DRIVING FAST THE GAS PEDAL KEEPS THROTTLE IF I DRIVE TOO SLOW IT'S A RISK FOR IT TO STARTING TO SHAKE AND SHUT DOWN AGAIN. WHILE TRYING TO FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM MECHANICS HAVE FOUND PARTS THAT WERE YEARS PAST DUE OF NEEDING REPLACING. SO WHILE THEY THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AND IT LOOKED POSSIBLE WITH A CONDITION IT WAS IN EVERY TIME WE WOULD THINK THAT WE HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN I TRY TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AND IT DOES THE SAME THING. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH FIVE MECHANICS TRYING TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE AND IT IS BECOMING A NIGHTMARE NOT EVEN THE DEALERSHIP COULD FIGURE IT OUT.

THE VEHICLE IS BURNING OIL FASTER THAN NORMAL, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL OUT RANDOMLY.

TOOK VEHICLE TO REPAIR SHOP FOR CODEP0420. REPLACED CATALYTIC CONVERTER. CAR IS 2011 WITH 98 PLUS THOUSDAND MILES. FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS COVERED UNDER REVISED 15810-03. SINCE IT WAS NOT DONE AT A DEALER, I AM UNABLE TO RECOVER THE COSTS. IF THIS REVISION WAS DONEJULY 2018, HOW CAN GM ONLY ALLOW FOR VEHICLES REPAIRED PRIOR TO AUGUST 31ST, 2017 BE ALLOWED REIMBURSMENT? PLEASE ADVISE.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK THIS MORNING WHEN I WENT OVER TRAIN TRACKS. AS SOON AS I DID MY "STBILITRAK" LIGHT CAME ON. ALL WHEEL DRIVE TURNED OFF AS WELL AS ABS. MY CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. I TRIED TO BREAK AND NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I'M UPSET WITH MY VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED A CHEVY, BUT I THINK THEY QUALITY IN WORK IS DECREASING. I WILL BE THINKING ABOUT WHAT KIND OF CAR I WILL GET NEXT. I PREFER CHEVY SINCE IT'S ALL OUR FAMILY HAS EVERY BOUGHT, HOWEVER I'M SICK OF HAVING UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS WITH IT.

FUEL PUMP/ LOW FUEL ISSUES FUEL PUMP FAILING, WHICH IN PART LEAKS FUEL INTO THE ENGINE. RUNNING ERROR CODES. LOW ENGINE POWER LIGHT DISPLAYED ON DASH FOLLOWED BY REDUCE POWER. DEALERSHIP ADVISES IT'S A 900 CHARGE. CERTAIN 2011 EQUINOX MODELS FALL UNDER THE PRODUCT EMISSION RECALL 43180 HIGH PRESSURE FUEL RECALL. HOWEVER I AM BEING ADVISED MINE DOES NOT ALTHOUGH ISSUE APPEARS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH RECALL AT FIRST GLANCE.

THE CENTER INFOTAINMENT THAT CONTAINS THE RADIO/CD/NAVIGATION, PHONE CONTROL, AIR CONDITIONER, TIME IS REALLY MESSED UP. IT NO LONGER HOLDS TIME. THE RADIO WORKS SOMETIMES AND OTHER TIMES NOT. THE SAME FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER. SOMETIMES THE NAVIGATION BELIEVES I AM IN A STATE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COUNTRY. I HAVE TAKEN TO CHEVROLET ASKING FOR THEM TO FIX IT. THEY SAID IT CANNOT BE FIXED, ONLY REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THE REPLACEMENT ALONE (THE PART ONLY FOR MY MODEL CAR) IS $10,000. MY CAR IS NOT EVEN WORTH $10,000 ANYMORE. WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU PUT SUCH A PRICEY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT IN A CAR THAT CANNOT BE FIXED? YOU HAVE PUT ME IN A POSITION OF BEING STUCK WITH A CAR I ABSOLUTELY HATE BECAUSE THE MESSED UP ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM AND ONE THAT I CANNOT POSSIBLY TRADE IN. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED OR YOU NEED TO BUY THIS PIECE OF CRAP CAR BACK. THIS IS NOT FAIR TO A CONSUMER WHO WORKS HARD FOR THEIR MONEY. THE 10,000 PART DOES NOT EVEN INCLUDE THE LABOR COSTS I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT PUT IN. I HAVE BEEN TOTALLY SCREWED IN THIS DEAL.

TRIED TO BLUETOOTH MY MEDIA, AND THE MENU BUTTON WON'T WORK WITH THE AUX JACK OUT. JUST TRIED TO DO IT TODAY.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON A FEW WEEKS AGO AND THE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD STAYS ON WHEN DRIVING.

A HIGH PITCHED WHINING SOUND WAS NOTED WHILE SHIFTING THROUGH 2ND GEAR. NOTED THE NEXT DAY THE SAME WHINING SOUND WHILE SHIFTING THROUGH 2ND GEAR ALSO BEGAN WHILE SHIFTING FROM PARK INTO REVERSE NEUTRAL AND DRIVE. NOTED ON THE 3RD DAY ALL OF THE ABOVE IN ADDITION TO THE VEHICLE SLIPPING GEARS AND WHILE IN DRIVE BEGAN TO READ AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. UPON INSPECTION BY A LOCAL DEALER IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL. D MILEAGE FOR THE 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX AT THAT POINT WAS 109000 MILES. IT HAS SINCE COSTED APPROXIMATELY $3000 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION OF WHICH NONE WAS COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY EITHER DEALER OR MANUFACTURER.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX HOME ON WEDS SEPTEMBER 11, 2019 IN A TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR ON THE 696 FREEWAY IN METRO DETROIT. I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, SLOWER THEN THE SPEED LIMIT BECAUSE OF THE DOWNPOUR, AND I HAD MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON THE FASTEST SPEED. WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF WARNING MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. THE DRIVER'S WIPER HAD MOVED PAST THE WINDSHIELD SO AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE CULPRIT. I PUSHED THE WIPER BACK ONTO THE WINDSHIELD (WHILE DRIVING), BUT THE WIPERS REMAINED STATIONARY AND NO LONGER OPERATED. STILL ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE DOWNPOUR I HAD TO MANEUVER OFF THE NEAREST EXIT, SURPRISINGLY WITHOUT INCIDENT, AND PARKED IN A SUBDIVISION UNTIL THE RAIN STOPPED. THE WIPER TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED.

I TOOK MY 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WANTED TO DO THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BECAUSE MY CAR WAS BURNING TOO MUCH OIL. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS ENGINE AND I WOULD MOST LIKELY QUALIFY FOR REPAIRS TO BE DONE AFTER THIS TEST WAS COMPLETED. I HAD THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST STARTED AND WENT BACK EVERY 1,000 OR LESS MILES AND WAS TOLD THIS ISSUE WOULD BE COVERED AND EVERYTHING WOULD BE FIXED. I FOLLOWED UP EVERY 1,000MILES OR LESS. WHEN I WENT BACK ON DECEMBER 3, 2018, MY CAR HAD 71,392 MILES ON IT AND HAD MY OIL CHANGED. I WENT BACK ON MARCH 14, 2019, WITH 73,996 MILES ON MY CAR, A DIFFERENCE OF 2,600 MILES, TO HAVE MY OIL CHANGED FROM DECEMBER 3, 2017, THEY TOLD ME THAT MY CAR DIDN'T SOUND RIGHT AND THEY WILL CHECK INTO IT. I WAITED TO SEE WHAT THIS ISSUE WAS AND THEY THE SERVICE GUY TOLD ME HE HAD BAD NEWS AND MY ENGINE WAS RUINED DUE TO THE TIMING CHAIN BREAKING AND RUINING MY ENGINE. GUY CA CAR A1,000 MILES TO HAVE MY OIL CHANGED AND THEN I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE SO NOTHING FURTHER NEEDED TO BE DONE AND TO COME BACK WITHIN 3,000 MILES AND HAVE THE OIL CHANGED. I WENT BACK ON MARCH 14, 2018 AT 2,600 MILES AND WAS TOLD MY TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND MY ENGINE WAS RUINED. TOLD ME THEY CAN FIX IT FOR $8,000. HOW WOULD IT GO FROM THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION AND THAN NO ISSUE AT ALL. I TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF MY CAR. IT LOOKS ALMOST BRAND NEW! HOW CAN GM NOT CARE THAT THESE ENGINES ARE BAD! GM KNOWS THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM AND ARE MAKING EVERY EXCUSE NOT TO FIX THIS. I COULD HAVE BROKE DOWN ON A HIGHWAY AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT! HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT GM CAN'T BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE! PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED MORE INFORMATION. THANK YOU.

2011 CHEVY EQUINOX TICKING ENGINE AND ERRATICALLY IDLES. RUNS ROUGH AND SHIFTING IS INCONSISTENT. TOOK IT TO CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE TIMING CHAIN IS BAD. $1500 REPAIR! TIMING CHAINS ARE MEANT TO LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR, THESE ONES ARE DEFECTIVE. THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN ISSUED YEARS AGO. MY CAR HAS 125K MILES. HATE CHEVY

IT ONLY HAD 42000 MILES ON IT AND EVEN BEFORE IT SOUNDED FUNNY. WE HAD IT HOOKED TO DIAGNOSTIC AND IT SAID THE INTAKE AND EXHAUST CAM SHAFT ACTUATOR SOLENOIDS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED OR FAULTY. GOOGLE IT ONLINE IT COMES UP AS A RECALL FOR MY YEAR OF 2011 CHEVY EQUINIX. BUT WHEN I TOLD THEM AT CHEVY SERVICE CENTER THEY WERE ADDIMENT THAT ONLY CERTAIN VINS AND THATS WHAT THEY GO BY. BUT I TOLD THEM HOW WOULD YOU KNOW WHICH ONES ARE AFFECTED IF YOUR NOT TOLD BY CONSUMERS. ONLINE AND ON DIFFERENT SITES COME UP THAT SOME HAVE PROBLEMS AND HAVE RECALLS . WELL OM INFORMING THEM THAT THERES AN ISSUE BUT SINCE ITS NOT ON THEIR DATA BASE OR MY VIN THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. THE CAR WHEN DRIVING SHUTS OFF SOMETIMES. OR WHEN I START IT AND BEGIN TO DRIVE IT SHUTS OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP, IT SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, AT TIMES, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INFORMED HER THAT HER VEHICLE WAS BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL, WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STALL. THE CONTACT DROVE TO GANLEY CHEVROLET (13865 BROOKPARK RD, BROOK PARK, OH 44142, 216-586-5804) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT DUE TO THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE, ANY REPAIRS WOULD BE DEEMED POINTLESS. THE DEALER DID NOT ASSIST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED THE CONTACT A VOUCHER TOWARDS ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. *DT*JB

IN JAN 5 2016 MY 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX MILEAGE 56747 WOULD JUST STALL WITHOUT WARNING AND I HAD NO CONTROL OF STEERING. DRIVING ON THE HWY IT JUST KILLED AND STARTED BUT DIDN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE AGAIN THEN STALLED AGAIN COULDN'T STEER. GOT IT TO RAY CHEVROLET IT WAS MY CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR SOLENOID VALVE IN SEPT.2016 MILEAGE 80584 I HAD IT TOWED AGAIN AND IT WAS THE CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR SOLENOID VALVES AND IT BURNT MY ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT AKA COMPUTER WHICH COST ME $800.00. SKIPPING FORWARD BUT NOT WITHOUT PROBLEMS THERE ARE MANY. AUG. 2019, I AM HAVING TO CHANGE CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR SOLENOID VALVES AGAIN DO TO STALLING ON THE ROAD WHILE I'M DRIVING NOT BEING ABLE TO STEER FOR THE THIRD TIME. IT'S SO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITHOUT WARNING IT WILL KILL ON YOU FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS. THEN I WENT CHANGE MY OIL LIKE CLOCK WORK AND WAS TOLD I HAVE A VALVE COVER GASKET LEAK TO GO WITH THE SOLENOID PROBLEM. IT'S SO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE DUE TO THE FACT IT WILL STALL AT ANYTIME. IN AUG. 2019 MY PRESSURE SENSOR FOR MY RIGHT TIRE WENT OUT. NOW I CAN'T GET IT TO RESET AND MECHANIC TRIED AND SAID SENSOR NEEDS TO BE CHANGED REALLY. I CAN'T TELL IF I HAVE A LOW TIRE IT JUST SHOWS BLANK LINE ON ALL TIRES. NOW MY ACTUATOR BEND DOOR BROKE ON DEFROST AND IT'S HOT IN LOUISIANA. ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET TO. THIS CAR NEEDS A RECALL REALLY BAD. THERE IS NEVER A TIME WHERE THE CAR JUST RAN GOOD WITH NO TROUBLE. THINGS THAT BROKE ON THIS CAR ARE LISTED BELOW. AIR CONTROL IAC VALUE, ACTUATOR BEND DOOR, VALVE COVER GASKET, COMPUTER, PRESSURE SENSOR, CV JOINTS, INTAKE & EXHAUST CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR SOLENOID <>THREE TIMES

BURNS OIL REALLY BAD AND TODAY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON CHECKED THE OIL AND NOTHING. NO CHECK OIL NO SOUND NO NOTHING. CAR STALLED OUT

CAT CONVERTER GONE OUT, ABS LIGHT ON, BRAKES ARE MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND, WHEN I GET IT FIXED IT'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT.

STOPPED AT THE GAS STATION AND THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. SEVERAL TIMES THE CAR DIED WHILE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. WHEN I TRY TO START THE CAR THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS GO BACK AND FORTH 3 TIMES AND ALL POWER IS THERE BUT ENGINE IS TOTALLY DEAD. SOMETIMES AFTER SEVERAL TRIES AND A FEW HOURS LATER THE CAR WILL START. I HAVE HAD 4 MECHANICS, 3 WERE DEALERS, AND NOBODY COULD TELL ME WHAT WAS GOING ON.....AND YET I WAS CHARGED 3 OUT OF 4 TIMES. MY HUSBAND SPOKE TO 2 STREET MECHANICS AND BOTH WITHOUT HESITATION SAID IT IS THE PCM COMPUTER. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH AND CONTINUED PROBLEMS I AM NOW ORDERING A NEW PCM AND INSTALLING IT MYSELF. THERE IS ALSO A TICKING SOUND WHICH SEEMS TO BAFFLE THE MECHANICS. AND THE CAR CONSUMES TONS OF OIL. UNFORTUNATELY I AM SEEING THAT THERE ARE SO MANY CHEVY EQUINOX OWNERS OUT THERE HAVING THESE SAME ISSUES AND CHEVROLET IS NOT HELPING. SHAME ON YOU CHEVROLET!

REGULAR OIL CHANGES AT GMC DEALERSHIP SHOWED HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION. CHEVY DEALERSHIP REPLACED TRANSMISSION 2015 UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION CONTINUED. 2018 ENGINE POWER SHUTS DOWN CAR WHILE IDLING. TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC REPLACED TRANSMISSION. DROVE ALMOST 400 MILES ON "NEW TRANSMISSION" AC NOT WORKING, IDLES WITH HIGH PITCH SOUND WHEN FAN IS RUNNING. NOW SEAT BELTS LIGHTS FLASH AND ALARM DESPITE SEAT BELTS IN BUCKLED POSITION. ENGINE GOES TO POWER DOWN /SAVE MODE WHEN DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 60MPH ON HIGHWAY. THIS POWER DOWN (REDUCTION) HAPPENS STALLS AND WONT DRIVE. ENGINE CONTINUES TO SHAKE AND RATTLE AFTER BEING PUT IN PARK AND REMOVING KEY (WHEN TURNED OFF)

REGULAR OIL CHANGES AT GMC DEALERSHIP SHOWED HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION. CHEVY DEALERSHIP REPLACED TRANSMISSION 2015 UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION CONTINUED. 2018 ENGINE POWER SHUTS DOWN CAR WHILE IDLING. TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC REPLACED TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO WINTER CHEVROLET (3750 CENTURY CT, PITTSBURG, CA 94565, (925) 232-0290) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER MISFIRED, THE PISTONS AND HEAD GASKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,700.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOB BELL CHEVROLET OF BEL AIR (443-692-2111, LOCATED AT 1230 BEL AIR RD, BEL AIR, MD 21014) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TEST WAS NOT COMPLETED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT AN UNKNOWN RECALL WAS PERFORMED ONE YEAR AGO REGARDING HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE EPA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT KEEP COMING ON.IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR 8 YEARS AGO. CHEVY HAS FIXED IT BEFORE NOW IT IS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. IT SHOULD BE RECALL ON THE CHEVY EQUINOX I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. WHEN I START THE CAR THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON.CHEVY DIAGNOSED IT AND SAID THE CAUSE IS B0074-00 AND B0074-OD THE COST TO REPAIR IS OVER A $1000.00 THEY KNOW PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW.

CAR WILL THROW CODES P0700/U0073/U1000 - LOOSES ENGINE POWER, CHECK STABILITRAK LIGHTS UP, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. CAR WILL BUCK, ODOMETER/RPM GAUGE/TEMP GAUGE WILL BECOME ERRATIC. TOOK TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP, UNABLE TO REPLICATE PROBLEM. UNSAFE TO DRIVE. DOESN'T HAPPEN DAILY - SOMETIMES CAR WILL NOT START/UNABLE TO DRIVE.

I BOUGHT A 2011 EQUINOX IN MAY A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER HAVING THE CAR I WAS HEARING CLICKING NOISES TOOK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME IT WAS JUST THE AIR CONDITION. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER MY CAR STARTED TO ROCK BACK IN FOURTH WHEN AT A LIGHT AND SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THEY TOLD ME IT WAS AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE AND I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. I TOOK IT IN THEY SAID THAT I NEEDED A TIMING CHAIN FILED UNDER MU WARRANTY AND I PAID THE DEDUCTIBLE. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT IT WASN'T GOING TO FIX THE ISSUE STATING I NEEDED TO BRING IT BACK AFTER A 1000 MILES AND THAT GM WOULD HANDLE THE PROBLEM AT HAND. I THEN TOOK IT BACK AND BEHIND MY BACK THEY TRIED TO CALL MY WARRANTY COMPANY TO SEE IF THEY WOULD PAY. MY WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THEIR PROBLEM. THEN WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD HANDLE EVERYTHING BUT I STILL WOULD HAVE TO PAY MONEY OUT OF POCKET. IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN 90 DAYS SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AND THE TIMING CHAIN AND BELT TENSIONERS HAVE GONE BAD AND NEED REPLACED BUT MY VIN IS NOT LISTED UNDER THE RECALL. IT'S A 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX UNDER THE 120,000 MILE SPECIFICATION. KNOWING MY VEHICLE'S HISTORY BEFORE I CAME INTO OWNERSHIP THIS WAS ALREADY REPLACED IN 2015 BUT NEEDS IT AGAIN ALREADY SO THERE'S CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER'S ISSUE GOING ON

TRAVELING STRAIGHT ON CITY STREET, 30 MPH, WAS T-BONED IN CENTER OF DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY? DAMAGE TO BOTH DOORS, CENTER AND LOWER PILLAR, AND THE TRACTION CONTROL BAR BENT. CONCUSSION AND BRUISING FROM INSIDE PILLAR TO DRIVER. DRIVER WAS WEARING SEAT BELT AT TIME OF COLLISION

MOST RECENTLY WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST STOPPED WORKING IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION, AND VISIBILITY WAS EXTREMELY IMPAIRED. HAD MY GRANDDAUGHTER WITH ME, THEY HAD TO ROLL DOWN WINDOWS TO HELP ME GET SAFELY OFF THE ROAD. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM IN 2015, AIR CONDITIONER QUIT WORKING IN 2014, FAILED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST IN 2016. I BOUGH A NEW CAR BECAUSE IN DIDN'T WANT MECHANICAL PROBLEMS AND THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM. IT IS A LEMON.

I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE DURING A HEAVY DOWN POUR AT NIGHT WHEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING. THEY WERE STUCK IN THE UP POSITION AND NO LONGER MOVED. I IMMEDIATELY LOST ALL VISIBILITY DUE TO THE RAIN WHICH COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY CAUSED A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAD TO PARK MY VEHICLE FOR THE DURATION OF THE NIGHT AND WAIT TO GET IT IN THE MORNING WHILE IT WAS NO LONGER RAINING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE REQUIRED AN OIL CHANGE EVERY MONTH AND A HALF EVER SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED IN JULY OF 2018. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

FIRST EQUINOX OWNED - GM REPLACED ENGINE AT NO COST TO ME. THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE TO PURCHASE ANOTHER EQUINOX. OWN A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX FWD 2.4 LITER ENGINE. EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION; STALLING WHILE AT STOPLIGHTS, ETC.; ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FREQUENTLY; MULTIPLE WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLIES REPLACED; WIPER TRANSMISSION REPLACED; CLATTERING NOISE WITHIN ENGINE THAT CANNOT BE FIXED PER MECHANIC; STABLITRAK AND ABS LIGHTS ON; LIMP MODE SEVERAL TIMES. HAVE SPENT MANY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX. GOING TO GM FOR COMPLETE ENGINE REPLACEMENT. 126,600 MILES AT PRESENT. PURCHASED 9/8/2016 WITH 80,437 MILES.

OIL CONSUMPTION

WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE RODE. RESTARTED DROVE ANOTHER 2 MILES AND IT DIED AGAIN. GOT IT TO KEEP RUNNING ALTHOUGH IT TRIED TO DIE AND TOOK TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP. WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS, CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW CHEVY CAN CONTINUE TO ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN. I ASSUME WHEN SOMEONE DIES BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE, THEY MAY DO SOMETHING THEN.

ENCOUNTERED AN ISSUE WHERE THE CAR WOULD RANDOMLY SHUT THE ENGINE OFF WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF LIGHT OR WARNING. THIS HAPPENED FOR THE FIRST TIME A WEEK BEFORE WE COULD GET IT TO THE SHOP, IN THAT WEEK IT HAPPENED 8 TIMES. ONE OF THESE TIMES WAS WHILE MOVING AND MY WIFE WERE NEARLY T-BONED ON A HIGHLY CONGESTED ROAD. MY WIFE BEGAN GETTING EXTREMELY ANXIOUS WHEN SHE HAD TO DRIVE THE CAR AND SCARED IT WOULD DIE ON THE INTERSTATE.THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP SAID THIS WAS BEING CAUSED BY HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION, THIS WAS NEWS TO US BECAUSE THE CAR HAD NOT NOTIFIED US OF THAT AT ALL (NO OIL OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS) AND WE WERE AT ABOUT 3K SINCE LAST OIL CHANGE WITH FULL SYNTHETIC (70K TOTAL MILES). THE DEALERSHIP THEN WENT ON TO SAY THAT THE PISTON RINGS AND PISTONS NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR $4,200. I GOOGLED '2011 CHEVY EQUINOX PISTON RINGS' AND ONE OF THE FIRST RESULTS WAS 'SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT 15285D' FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION CAUSED BY THE PISTONS AND RINGS. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP WHY HE NEVER MENTIONED THIS AND HE SAID IT DIDN'T APPLY TO OUR VIN BUT HE DIDN'T KNOW WHY. AFTER A BACK AND FORTH OF 'THAT MAKES NO SENSE, IT'S THE EXACT ISSUE' AND 'I DON'T KNOW IT'S ABOVE MY PAY GRADE' HE EVENTUALLY SAID 'BASED ON THE VIN YOUR CAR WASN'T BUILT WITH THE SAME PARTS' WHICH I REALIZED AFTER CALLING THE GM CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE DIRECTLY WAS A LIE. GM TOLD ME THAT MY CAR WAS COVERED UNTIL NOVEMBER, 2018 (THIS HAPPENED JULY 19) BECAUSE GM DID THE SERVICE ADJUSTMENT OUT TO 7 YRS/120K MILES. GM TOLD ME SHE IS UP-CHANNELING OUR CASE TO SEE IF GM WILL PAY FOR SOME OF IT, STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK.

THE TRANSMISSION JUST WENT OUT DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, COULD NOT MOVE IT, COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS IF ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. DRIVING AT REGULAR SPEED, JUST SOUNDED LIKE IT SHIFTED TO PARK, NO WARNING AT ALL. WAS FORCED TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION AT $5000.

MY HUSBAND, NEWBORN BABY AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWED AND THEN STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THIS OCCURED EVERY TIME MY HUSBAND USED THE BRAKES. LUCKILY WE MANAGED TO MAKE IT BACK HOME SAFELY. THE VEHICHLE CONSTANTLY NEEDS OIL AND THEN IT DIED FOR THE LAST TIME ABOUT A MONTH AGO AS WE PULLED INTO A FAMILY MEMBERS DRIVEWAY.

MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN THE POURING RAIN. THEY WILL NOT WORK NOW. I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE 60 MILES WITHOUT THEM, IN THE RAIN. IT IS NOT THE FUSE, I CHECKED.

MY VEHICLE RAN COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL. THERE WAS NO INDICATOR LIGHT TO WARN ME THERE WAS LOW OIL. THERE WAS NEVER INDICATION OIL WAS LEAKING AS IT DID NOT APPEAR ON MY DRIVEWAY. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE MOTOR.

I'VE HAD THIS TRUCK FOR A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS AND WHEN I FIRST GOT IT THERE WAS NO TICKING NOISE THEN MADE A YEAR AGO I NOTICED THE TICKING NOISE. I TOOK IT TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NORMAL FOR THE MODEL. IT BEGAN TO STALL SO I TOOK IT BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT THE O2 SENSOR WAS THE CAUSE . LATER ON THAT DAY THE TICKING BEGAN TO GET LOUDER AND THEN AS I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND RAISED THE HOOD OIL WAS SPRAYING EVERY WHERE. HAD IT TOWED TO THE SHOP FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAD BEEN SLAPPING UP AGAINST THE VALVE COVER AND HAD CRACKED THE COVER SO THAT'S WHY THE OIL WAS SPRAYING EVERY WHERE. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE IN MY TRUCK WAS DEFECTIVE FROM THE START AND THAT CHEVY KNOWS ABOUT THIS . SO NOW I'M STUCK TRYING TO FIND A MOTOR FOR A TRUCK THAT I'M STILL PAYING NOTES ON AND CAN'T DRIVE. THE FACT THAT CHEVY KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WITH THE TIMING CHAIN, THE CAM SENSOR AND THE OIL CONSUMPTION AND IS NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE DAMAGE TO OUR VEHICLES IS CRAZY. I COME FROM A CHEVY LOVING FAMILY AND IVE ALWAYS OWNED ONE AND BUT NOW I'M LOOKING FOR SOMETHING ELSE BECAUSE CHEVY DOESN'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS ANYMORE AND YES I ALWAYS CHANGE MY OIL ON TIME AND ALL OF MY MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN DONE ON TIME.

I HAVE HAD ALL RECALLS DONE ON THIS CAR. HAVE HAD BASICALLY EVERYTHING BUT THE ENGINE REPLACED. IT RUNS LIKE IT IS A SEMI. STALLS AT STOP LIGHTS. HAS DIED TWICE WHILE DRIVING IT - AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN EVEN IN NEUTRAL. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT COULD STALL OUT WHEN GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. I KEEP THE OIL CHANGED REGULARLY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE - I STILL OWE ON MY CAR LOAN ON THIS CAR. IN ALL THE 40 PLUS YEARS I HAVE DRIVEN CARS, I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS MUCH TROUBLE WITH A VEHICLE. I CAN UNDERSTAND HAVING TO DO SOMETHING EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE - LIKE TRANSMISSION, ETC. I HAVE SPENT OVER $3000 ON DIFFERENT "FIXES" THAT HAVN'T FIXED IT. I AM USUALLY A CHEVROLET PERSON, BUT I AM NOT GOING TO BUY A CHEVROLET AGAIN.

TAMARA RECALL THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WHEN I START MY VEHICLE AND STAYS ON FROM TIME TO TIME. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON AND SCARES ME THAT IT MIGHT DEPLOY UNEXPECTEDLY. I FEEL AS IF MY LIFE IS IN DANGER BECAUSE OF THIS.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD @ 55 MPH IN THE POURING RAIN WITH THE WINDOW WIPERS WORKING, THE DRIVER'S WIPER MOVED PAST THE WINDSHIELD AND BECAME WEDGED AGAINST THE DRIVER'S WINDOW. WHILE DRIVING I OPENED THE DRIVER'S WINDOW AND PUSHED THE WIPER BACK ON TO THE WINDSHIELD. THE WIPERS WERE STATIONARY ON THE WINDSHIELD AND NO LONGER OPERATED. I DROVE 10 MILES IN THE POURING RAIN WITHOUT ANY WIPERS. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME, I COULD MOVE THE WIPERS BY HAND. I COULD HEAR A SCRAPING METAL SOUND.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION: HAVE HAD TO COMPLETELY REFILL 4QTS OF OIL EVERY 17-20 DAYS, NO OIL STAINS IN PARKING AREAS OR OIL BURNING SMELL WHEN DRIVING.

AT ABOUT 88,000 MILES, WHILE STARTING FROM A STOP, AND ALSO WHILE CLIMBING A HILL, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP INTO A NEUTRAL POSITION INSTEAD OF A HIGHER OR LOWER GEAR. I HAD TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND LET IT IDLE DOWN BEFORE IT WOULD GO INTO A GEAR.02

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION. THE CONTACT HAD TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FOUR TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. IN ADDITION, WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. HOWEVER, WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT AHEAD, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING LOT AND POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY, BUT ONLY WHEN DRIVEN STRAIGHT AHEAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CONKLIN CHEVROLET NEWTON (LOCATED AT 1500 SE 3RD ST, NEWTON, KS 67114, (316) 842-4137) AND THE FAILURE WAS DUPLICATED. THE DEALER ORDERED A SOLENOID PACK AND REPLACED THE OLD ONE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND IT FAILED TO ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT AHEAD. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TOWED TO CONKLIN CARS BUICK GMC HUTCHINSON (LOCATED AT 1400 E 11TH AVE, HUTCHINSON, KS 37501, (620) 708-4102) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WAVE PLATE EXPLODED AND SENT METAL PIECES INSIDE THE METAL CASE, WHICH DAMAGED THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 9-5288717276. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,754.

USED QUART OF OIL EVERY 900 MILES

THE MOTOR HADE 80,000 MILE ON AND BLOW ALL THE OIL OUT JUST AS THE 2012 EQUINOX DID AND NOW I HAVE NO MOTOR.GONE DOWN THE ROAD ABOUT 55MPH. ON HWY. 55 IN MONTROSE MN.

MAY 22ND 2019 IT WAS READING A LOT, AS I WAS DRIVING, MY DRIVER SIDE WIPER WENT UP AND STARTED THERE, AS THE PASSENGER SIDE CONTINUED WORKING. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, I HEARD THE SNAPPING OF THE BAR. THANK GOD FOR RAINX. I ENDED UP ADJUSTING THE WIPER BLADE TO MAKE A "EURO" WIPER, THEN JUST REPLACED THE WIPER TRANSMISSION ALL TOGETHER.

I BOUGHT MY 2011 EQUINOX WITH 45K MILES, 1.5 YEARS AGO AND HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS. HAD TO CHANGE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD, MUFFLER AND NOW I AM HAVING POWER ISSUES. THE CAR WILL STALL WHEN IDLING AND LOSE POWER WHEN DRIVING. I HAD MY 3 CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN AT AN INTERSECTION I LOST ALL ACCELERATION. THANK GOD THERE WAS NOT A CAR COMING, BECAUSE WE WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT FOR IT IS NORMALLY A BUSY INTERSECTION. I STILL OWE A LOT OF MONEY ON THE VEHICLE AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS OFTEN AND I WAS TOLD TO CHANGE THE CAM SHAFT, WHICH I DID TO NO AVAIL.

WHEN THE CAN STARTS IT SOUNDS LIKE A DIESEL.SOME THIMES THE ENISON WILL TURN OVER AND OVER AND I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF THE TRY TO START IT THAN IT WILL START.THE CAR WILL DIE IN THE MIDEL OF THE HIGHWAY. SOME THIME I HAVE TO PUMP THE GAS TO GET IT GOING LIKE IT JUST RAN OUT OF FULE.

I WAS ON MY WAY BACK 1 HOUR INTO A 5 HOUR TRIP FROM WASHINGTON DC TO NEW YORK. IT WAS POURING RAIN AND THE TRAFFIC WAS MOVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. I HAD 3 KIDS IN THE CAR WITH ME. SUDDENLY, WITH NO WARNING, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS FLIPPED OFF OF THE DRIVERS SIDE AND STOPPED AND WOULD NOT GO BACK ON. I COULD SEE NOTHING. IT WAS TERRIFYING. MY KIDS AND I ARE LUCKY TO BE ALIVE TODAY. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE SHORT BREAKS IN THE RAIN SO I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AND PARK IN A SAFE PLACE, HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE WIPER TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE ARE SO MANY REPORTS ON CAR GURUS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. SAME YEAR, SAME MAKE MODEL, AS WELL AS OTHER YEARS.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WITH LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON THIS OIL CHANGE I HEARD TICKING NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD SO I CHECKED THE OIL TO FIND THAT THERE WAS NONE ON THE DIP STICK, I ADDED 3.5 QUARTS. WHATS SO BOTHER SOME FOR ME IS THAT THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THESE SUV'S FOR THAT VARY PROBLEM BUT IT EXPIRES AT 120000 MILES OR 7.5 YEARS WHICH EVER COMES FIRST ALL OTHER RECALLS ARE 120000 MILES OR 10 YEARS EXCEPT THIS ONE, WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS ON A LONG TRIP WITH THE FAMILY RAN COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL , CAR DIES ON EXPRESSWAY WITHOUT ANY WARNING THEN WHAT.I DID TAKE IT TO THE DEALER & SERVICE WAS THE ONE THAT TOLD ME ABOUT THE 7.5 YEARS. THIS CAR HAD A COMPREHENSIVE CARFAX REPORT WITH DEALER MAINTENANCE BEING DONE SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. NO MENTION OF THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION . THAT WAS THE REASON THAT I PURCHASED IT

MY CAR IS CONSUMING HUGE AMOUNTS OF OIL BEFORE IT IS TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE. I AM PUTTING OIL IN THIS CAR AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. I LET CHEVY KNOW OF THIS ISSUE BUT THEY SAID THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I ONLY DRIVE TO SCHOOL AND WORK WHICH IS ONLY A 15 MILE ROUND TRIP. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!

ON MARCH 24 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME AND THE VEHICLE DIED SEVERAL TIMES AND I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC. HE CALLED THE NEXT DAY AND SAID THE OIL WAS COMPLETELY GONE AND THE ENGINE WAS RUINED. I HAVE CHANGED THE OIL EVERY 3-4000 MILES RELIGIOUSLY AND NOW THIS? I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $6000 TO REPLACE THE MOTOR.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPER TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN. A PLASTIC BUSHING BROKE AND CAUSED THE FAILURE. AFTER RESEARCHING PROBLEM, I FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN SEVERAL MODEL YEARS OF THE CHEVROLET EQUNIOX.

MY VEHICLE HAS 63,000 MILES AND WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDDLE AND GET NO RESPONSE AT ALL. THIS MOSTLY HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED OTHER TIMES AS WELL. I WAS TOLD TO CHANGE THE INTAKE AND EXHAUST CAMSHAFTS SOLENOIDS, BUT THIS DID NOT HELP. I CHANGED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD, STILL DID NOT HELP.

MY 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX WAS NOT PICKING UP SPEED, AND WOULD SHUT OFF WHEN I STOPPED FOR MORE THAN 30 SECONDS. THE ENGINE ALSO SOUNDED VERY LOUD WHEN IN PARK. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MY CAR HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP TWO MONTHS PRIOR FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. MY CAR CURRENTLY HAS 102,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT METAL SHAVINGS WERE ALSO FOUND IN MY OIL. I TRIED DRIVING MY CAR AFTER THE DIAGNOSTIC AND THE "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" INDICATOR CAME ON, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY AND BE TOWED. I CONTACTED GM REGARDING A RECALL AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTICULAR MODEL OF MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND SINCE MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I HAVE READ REPORTS OF MY 2011 EQUINOX OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES.

DRIVING HOME I WAS APPROACHING INTERSECTION IN WHICH A FEW CARS WERE BEGINNING TO MOVE AS I APPROACHED THE RED LIGHT. ON A COUNTY HIGHWAY, UPON SEEING THE SLOW START, I BEGAN BREAKING. UNFORTUNATELY I CONTINUALLY PUSHED BRAKE PEDAL TO FLOOR NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO ABILITY TO STOP AND RAN MY VEHICLE UNDER BACK END OF A FEDEX DELIVERY TRUCK. ONE HEAD ON COLLISION OCCURRED MY AIRBAG CANISTERS INITIATED BUT BUT THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED AFTER IMPACT I DID RECEIVE INDICATOR NOTIFICATION STATING AIRBAG SERVICE REQUIRED. PRIOR TO THE COLLISION O HAVE HAD TOTAL REBUILD OF MOTOR FROM BLOCK UPWARD BY GMC I REPORTED THAT NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE ON HWY MY CARD WOULD SUDDENLY STALL/ LAG . GOING FROM 65-70MPH DOWN TO 20-30MPH. HAVE HAD ENGINE MAINTAINED WELL AND CHANGING OIL ETC WAS TOLD ALL 3 TIMES I TOOK IT IS IT RESULTED NOTHING THAT COULD BE REPLICATED. DESPITE HAVING BEEN LUCKY SINCE IT COMMON APPARANTLY FOR MY VEHICHLE TO BEGIN LOSES OIL AND HAS TO BE REFILLED Q-2 X WEEK LY.( SEEMS TO BE COMMON COMPLAINT FROM AUTOMOTIVE MEN TO STATE ALL IS GOOD. 1) IT IS NOT ALL GOOD. 2) I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE OF STALLING, FAILED BREAKING SYSTEM AND LACK OF AIR BAG.DEPLOYMENT.I ALSO TOOK SEVERAL TIMES FOR TIMING BELT REPAIR AND EVEN HAD MOTOR REBUILT AND ALSO DESPITE JUST HAVING PUT ON WHEN THIS STARTED 3 MONTHSEAGO, HAVE HAD ISSUES SINCE 4 MO AFTER BUYING VEHICLE ( HAD 20,000 MILES ON IT . OF COURSE AM ALWAYS TOLD NOT IN WARRANTY TIME LIMIT OR MY VIN # NOT INCLUDED IN CARS IDENTIFIED OF INCREASED RISK AND ALWAYS TOLD THERE IS AN INABILITY TO REPLICATE COMPLAINTS. WELL NOW I HAVE A TOTALLED CAR BUT PRAISE BE TO GOD HE STILL WRITING MY STORY AND I AM UNHARMED AND WILL NEED NEW VEHICHLE

TAKATA INFLATORS

OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE, CAR USES SO MUCH OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES AND DOESN'T ALERT YOU WHEN IT'S LOW.

EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION, ENGINE MAKES NOISE, NEED TO CHANGE OIL EVERY 2000 MILES, NEED TO CHECK OIL LEVEL EVERY WEEK. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

VECHICAL WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH, REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE, VECHICAL WAS TOTALED. AIRBAGS NEVER WENT OFF. ON A HIGHWAY ABOUT 50-60 MPH.

MY VEHICLE RANDOMLY DIES WHILE DRIVING. AT 94500 CK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD ONE SOLENOID REPLACED AND CHANGED THE OIL. A WEEK LATER THE ENGINE STALLED A FEW TIMES IN A PARKING LOT. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. REPLACED A 2ND SOLENOID. 3/5/19, A WEEK LITTLE OVER A WEEK IT STALLED 5 TIMES IN A PARKING LOT. PD AGAIN TO HAVE MECHANIC SCAN IT NOTHING SHOWED UP. 3/7/19 CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS. 3/9/19 DROVE TO MILWAUKEE. GOT THERE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON,STABIL TREK LIGHT & ENGINE POWER REDUCED NOTIFICATION. AN HOUR LATER SEEMED FINE. ON THE WAY HOME ALL THE SAME LIGHTS CAME ON IN ROLLING TRAFFIC HAD TO PULL OFF BC IT DIED A COUPLE OF TIMES. LET IT SIT A BIT THEN STARTED HOME AGAIN. AFTER ABOUT 5 MILES GOING 60MPH ON THE INTERSTATE IN A SNOW/RAIN STORM THE VEHICLE DIED, WHILE DRIVING IT. I BARELY GOT IT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE. A STATE TROOPER HAD TO SIT BEHIND FOR SAFETY. BC OF THE STORM THE TOW TRUCK WAS 90 MINUTES OUT. THIS WAS A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT & KILLED.HAULED TO A MECHANIC 50 MILES AWAY. CODE READER (ATTACHED) SHOWED 5 ERRORS BUT COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED GM DEALERSHIP. THE MECHANIC COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE SO DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IT WRONG. HAD THE TIMING CHAIN REPLACED BUT MECHANIC DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS THE ISSUE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT COULD RANDOMLY DIE AGAIN IN HEAVIER TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE AND TO ME IS LIFE THREATENING. THERE ARE SO SO MANY PEOPLE COMMENTING ONLINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE PEOPLE DO DIE IF IT HASN'T HAPPENED ALREADY. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS VEHICLE 5 MONTHS AND HAVE HAD IT TO THE MECHANIC AT LEAST 5 TIMES. I DON'T WANT TO UNLOAD THIS DEATH TRAP ON SOMEONE ELSE BUT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF LOSING MY LIFE OR SOMEONE ELSE'S.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED OVER EXCESSIVE USE OF OIL, ON BOTH STREET AND HIGHWAY DRIVING, WHILE IN MOTION, MY CAR STARTED TO CHOKE ITSELF OUT WHEN I WOULD STOP AT A STOP SIGN/LIGHT. OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS OF OWNING THIS CHEVY 2011 EQUINOX, I HAVE HAD EXCESSIVE OIL USAGE. THE OIL USAGE WAS SO EXTENSIVE THAT I WAS HAVING TO PUT A QUART OF OIL EVERY 500 MILES OR LESS.......ALL OF THIS EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING HAS TO EXHAUST SOMEWHERE, I REACHED OUT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP AND ASKED THEM TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD FIND OUT FOR ME, AND THEY RETURNED WITH A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST PAPER TO FILL OUT. I HAD BEEN DOING THIS OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WHEN MY EXHAUST STARTED TO CLOG CAUSING MY REAR ENGINE SEAL TO BLOW, AND LEAK EVERY BIT OF OIL OUT OF MY MOTOR, ALL OF THIS RESULTED FROM THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION OVER THE PAST YEARS, CAUSING MY CADILLAC CONVERTER TO BECOME CLOGGED, THEREFORE, CAUSING THE PRESSURE OF THE EMISSIONS, THAT WAS NOT ABLE TO BE EXHAUSTED OUT, TO CAUSE MY REAR ENGINE SEAL TO BLOW. MY VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO A SHOP. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE OCCURED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION UNTIL MY REAR ENGINE SEAL BUSTED, CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO BE UNMOVABLE WITHOUT ASSISTANCE FROM A TOW TRUCK.

I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE ONES THAT ARE RECALLED FOR OIL ISSUES. HOWEVER MY VIN NUMBER WASN'T LISTED. MY PCV VALVE IS STUCK. POSSIBLE ISSUE WITH INSIDE THE INTAKE CRANK CASE AND WITH THAT I DON'T WANT A BLOW OUT. LOSING POWER AND USING A LOT OF OIL. I HAVE THE 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX LT PURCHASED LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO.

I GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND I WENT TO GET IT TESTED AND IT SAYS THAT IT IS A EXHAUST POSITION TIMING ISSUE. NO MECHANIC CAN FIX IT BECAUSE IT WAS A DESIGN ISSUE BY THE MANUFACTURER. I NOTICED THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN JERKING AROUND WHEN I DRIVE, IT WON'T BACK UP AND IT BACKFIRES AND I'M TERRIFIED OF DRIVING IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BALISE CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (LOCATED AT 440 HALL OF FAME AVE, SPRINGFIELD, MA 01105, (413) 233-4668) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A LOSS OF ENGINE OIL AND A STRETCHED TIMING CHANGE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A PROTOCOL TO HAVE THE ENGINE OIL CHECKED EVERY 1,000 MILES TO SEE IF THERE WAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE OIL CONSUMPTION WAS IN THE MANUFACTURER'S PERIMETER FOR OIL USAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE OF 120,000 MILES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING AND OIL RUNS OUT WELL BEFORE RECOMMEND OIL CHANGE AND NO LOW OIL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. CAR BURNS A LOT OF OIL AND MAKES A LOUD NOISE FROM ENGINE BUT TOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR THIS BRAND.

THE CAR HAS BEGAN USING RIDICULOUS AMOUNTS OF OIL, I HAVE TO PUT A QUART OF OIL IN EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS, THE OTHER ISSUE IS THE TRANSMISSION HAS STARTED HAVING ISSUES IT LITERALLY JUST PASSED THE 100K MILEAGE MARK AND THIS STARTED, AS IF IT WAS TIMED BY THE WARRANTY, I SEE TONS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS ISSUE

ON 2.2.2019 AROUND 11AM I LEFT WORK RESTORATION HARDWARE OUTLET 301 W MAIN ST, CHRISTIANA, DE 19702 AND DROVE ACROSS THE STREET TO GET LUNCH AT ACME 1 UNIVERSITY PLAZA, NEWARK, DE 19702. IT WAS 28* OUT AND WE HAD A FEW DAYS OF BELOW 32*. AS I WAS LEAVING THE ACME PARKING LOT ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE DASH. I IMMEDIATLEY STOPPED AND SHUT OFF CAR. ACROSS THE STREET WAS AN EXXON STATION ON 300 CHAPMAN RD, NEWARK, DE 19713. THE SERVICE PERSON SAID I WAS LEAKING OIL. HE PUT IN A QUART THEN ANOTHER IT CAME RIGHT BACK OUT AND SAID IT COULD BE A REAR MAIN SEAL. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT 'THAT STATED---- PLUGGED PCV ORIFICE IN INTAKE MANIFOLD FOR THE 2010-2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX EQUIPPED WITH 2.4L ECOTEC ENGINE (LAF, LEA OR LUK) 2.4L ENGINE (LAF, LEA OR LUK) THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION MAY ALSO EXPERIENCE A FROZEN AND/OR PLUGGED PCV (POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION) SYSTEM DURING COLD WEATHER OPERATION. THIS CONDITION MAY INCREASE CRANKCASE PRESSURE LEADING TO A REAR CRANKSHAFT SEAL OIL LEAK. I KNOW THAT GM NEEDED TO LOOK AT THIS SO I HAD IT TOWED TO DIVER CHEVROLET 2101 PENNSYLVANIA AVE, WILMINGTON, DE 19806 (302) 482-8359. ALMOST A WEEK LATER THEY CALLED AND SAID THE REAR MAIN SEAL BLEW OUT AND THATS WHAT WAS STATED ON THE SERVICE ORDER. I ASKED ABOUT THE MARCH 2015 BULLETIN NO.: 14882 . THEY SAID MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THAT GROUP AND IT WOULD BE $3200 TO FIX. I ASKED HOW CAN THIS BE WHEN IT CLEARLY IS THE SAME ISSUE STATED IN THE BULLETIN EXACTLY. COLD TEMPS, FROZEN PVC, BLOWN REAR MAIN. I WAS EVEN TOLD A FEW CAR WERE IN DURING THAT COLD SNAP WITH SAME ISSUE, BUT THOSE CAR HAD EXT WARRANTY OR WERE PART OF THE GROUP VIN . SO NOW IM HERE TRYING TO GET HELP FROM YOU. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THEY WONT ACKNOWLEDGE IT. IM A SINGLE MOM WITH 2 KIDS AND I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO.

ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING AND SMOKING, DIED WHILE MOVING. ENGINE SEIZED DUE TO NO OIL. ADDED 1 QT OF OIL THE DAY BEFORE. LOW OIL LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED WITHIN 3,000 MILES. CAR NEEDS WHOLE NEW ENGINE.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, MANUFACTURER WON'T HONOR WARRANTY BECAUSE IT EXPIRED 4 MONTHS AGO, DESPITE MILEAGE BEING HALF TO REQUIREMENT. WE WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE WARRANTY OR IT'S EXPIRATION.

MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM LISTED IN A RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED ON 9/13/11. THE BULLETIN NUMBER IS 11195B. IN SPEAKING TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THEY TELL ME MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I'M WRITING TO SEE IF THIS WAS AN OVERSIGHT OR IF ANY OTHER OWNERS OF THE VEHICLES LISTED IN THIS RECALL HAVE INDICATED THEY'RE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE ON 11/16/2015 AND I START HAVING PROBLEMS IN JUNE/2016 GOT IT FIX,THEN THE TRANSMISSION BROKE AND I HAD IT REPLACED, I ALREADY SPEND LIKE 5000.00 DOLLARS NOW IT'S THE ENGINE IT WILL COST CLOSE TO 7.000.00 TO FIX IT NOW, I STILL OWE 1.500.00 JUST DO THE MATH,I WAS TOLD THAT THOSE VEHICLES CAME OUT WITH MANY IMPERFECTIONS I JUST FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL I HAVE NO MONEY TO FIX IT AND EVEN IF I DO WILL IT WORTH IT? THE VERY FIRST IT BROKE I WAS ON TRAVELING TO NEW MEXICO, THE TRANSMISSION BROKE HERE IN TOWN HWY 60 AND THE ENGINE HERE IN TOWN AS WELL.

THIS SPECIAL COVERAGE, BULLETIN #14882 IS EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MY VEHICLE AND I AM UNDER THE 10-YEAR, 120K TIME FRAME. YET APPARENTLY MY VIN DOESN'T MATCH UP SO I DON'T GET COVERAGE. HTTPS://GM.OEMDTC.COM/1899/SPECIAL-COVERAGE-ADJUSTMENT-PLUGGED-PCV-ORIFICE-IN-INTAKE-MANIFOLD-2010-2014-BUICK-CHEVROLET-GMC I WAS SOLD THIS VEHICLE IN AUGUST OF 2016. I COMPLAINED ABOUT EXCESSIVE OIL USE VIA EMAIL AND MY COMPLAINT WAS NEVER ADDRESSED. BULLETIN 12585C WAS RELEASED BETWEEN JANUARY AND MARCH OF 2016, SO JEFF BELZER CHEVROLET OF LAKEVILLE, MN SOLD ME THIS VEHICLE WITH THE PISTON ISSUE INSTEAD OF COVERING THEM. NOW THAT I'VE LEARNED ABOUT SPECIAL COVERAGES, I AM OUTSIDE OF THE TIME FRAME FOR COVERAGE AND I FEEL SLIGHTED AND CHEATED. THIS IS A FAULTY DESIGN AND INSTEAD OF CHEVROLET HOLDING A SEMI-DECENT STANDARD, I AM LEFT WITH THE BILL.

WHILE DRIVING IN A HEAVY RAIN STORM MY VEHICLES WINDSHIELD WIPERS COMPLETELY LOST FUNCTION. LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO MY HOME TO TAKE A COUPLE BACK ROADS AND DRIVE VERY SLOWLY WITH ALMOST NO VISIBILITY DUE TO LOSS OF WIPER FUNCTION. THIS OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET WITH HIGH STANDING WATER AND WAS BEING OPERATED AT ABOUT 25MPH. MY VEHICLE YEAR IS CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR RECALL BY THE NHTSA FOR THE BALL JOINT ASSEMBLY RUSTING AND BREAKING. IN THE MEAN TIME I AM CURRENTLY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO CONSERVATIVELY REPAIR THE VEHICLE.

THE CHEVY CUSTOMER CARE REP STATED THAT THERE IS A "SPECIAL COVERAGE 15285 IS TIED TO YOUR VIN, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE RELATED TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION CONCERNS YOU'VE DESCRIBED. " MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING SIGNIFICANT OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES AND PLENTY OF NOISE FROM THE ENGINE. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THIS ISSUE DESPITE HAVING A REGISTERED MYCHEVROLET ACCOUNT AND A HISTORY OF CONTACT WITH CHEVY. MY MECHANIC MENTIONED A KNOWN ISSUE WITH OIL CONSUMPTION AND SUGGESTED I LOOK INTO IT WHICH BROUGHT ME TO THIS POINT. AFTER CONTACTING CHEVY, THEY SUGGESTED I PAY TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC BUT THAT I WOULD NOT BE COVERED FOR ANY SERVICES DESPITE THE KNOWN ISSUE AND THAT I NEVER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF THE ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING, LIGHTS CAME ON DISPLAYING "ALL WHEEL DRIVE OFF", "TRACTION CONTROL OFF", AND SERVICE STABILITRAK. CAR DROPPED SUDDENLY (ON CURVE, ON BUSY ROAD) TO 10MPH. SHAKING BAD AND BRAKES BARELY WORKING. CAR SHAKES WORSE WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. DEALER WILL NOT FIX. SAYS LIGHTS ARE OFF WHEN THEY SEE IT SO THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE PROBLEM. THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. ALWAYS IN COLD WEATHER. NO ICE OR SNOW THIS TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FRACTURED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT AT 80,000 MILES, THE TIMING CHAIN FRACTURED AND CAUSED MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY BILL FOX CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 725 S ROCHESTER RD, ROCHESTER HILLS, MI 48307, (248) 266-0563). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 50,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING 25 MPH DOWN A CITY STREET. OF COURSE, I'M OUT OF WARRANTY BECAUSE OF YEARS, AND, GM WILL NOT CONSIDER GIVING ANY ASSISTANCE, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2011 EQUINOXES. AN EMPLOYEE AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP SAID THE TRANSMISSION IN THE EQUINOX LIKE MINE IS GARBAGE. I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN MARCH, 2011, AND IN FEBRUARY 2015 AT 26,000 THE A/C COMPRESSOR WENT OUT, AND I HAD TO PAY FOR THAT REPAIR.

I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 10 MONTHS AND IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP MORE THAN ANYTHING. IT'S ALREADY ON ITS SECOND ENGINE AND THAT WAS SEPTEMBER 14TH, NOW OCTOBER 23RD IT IS NOW NEEDING A TRANSMISSION. THIS DOESN'T INCLUDE THE UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT OF OIL CHANGES AND TUNE UPS. I'VE STALLED IN REVERSE AND DRIVE. THE CAR DIED OUT WHILE DRIVING AND IS EXTREMELY LOUD AT TIMES. ALL I HAVE FOR DOCUMENTS ARE MY RECEIPTS. I'M DISABLED WITH CHILDREN AND WHEN I THOUGHT WE WERE BUYING A CAR WE BOUGHT A LOT OF PROBLEMS INSTEAD. CONSTANTLY TRYING TO STILL FIND RIDES TO DR APPTS AND SUCH. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT A RECALL HASN'T BEEN DONE YET, AFTER THE ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON SAID VEHICLE.

THIS IS A SAFETY COMPLAINT. I CARRY MY GRAND KIDS AND AM WORRIED FOR OUR SAFETY. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED DUE TO THE VERY LOW MILEAGE AND AM TRYING TO BE PROACTIVE. I KNOW OF MANY MANY HAPPENINGS. THE CARS STARTING AT ~ 5000 MILES WILL STALL OUT AT SIGNALS & ON THE ROAD. THIS WILL PROBABLY HAPPEN TO ME WHEN I REACH 5K MILES.THE CAR HAS A DEFECTIVE ENGINE THAT GM CANNOT FIX. I'M AFRAID OF A REAR END COLLISION AND FIRE. THE CAR NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. THANK YOU FOR READING THIS AND HOPE IT GETS RECTIFIED ASAP.

WE WERE DRIVING OUR EQUINOX AND THE BRAKES FAILED TO WORK. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT DEPRESS. WE HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF US ON THE FREEWAY OFF RAMP AND THAT CAR HIT THE NEXT CAR. BOTH DRIVERS REPORTED INJURIES. THERE WAS NO WAY TO SLOW DOWN LET ALONE STOP. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY EITHER. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND FOUND A BRAKE BOOSTER IS THE PROBABLE PROBLEM. BOTH OUR CAR SERVICE PROVIDER AND ON LINE BLOGS LIST THIS AS AN ISSUE. SOMETHING ABOUT THE VACUUM AND BRAKE FLUID CAUSING TOO MUCH PRESSURE SO THE BRAKE PEDAL COULD NOT BE DEPRESSED. THIS HAPPENS IN HIGH HEAT AND WHEN THE CAR IS ON A HILL. AFTER THE CAR STOPS AND COOLS DOWN OR IS LEFT ON LEVEL GROUND, THEN THE BRAKES START WORKING AGAIN. THIS MAKES THE ISSUE HARDER TO FIND ACCORDING TO OUR CAR REPAIR SHOP. WE HAD GM TAKE A LOOK AT THE ISSUE AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO OVERALL DEFECT IN THE PART. THEY DID NOT LOOK AT OUR SPECIFIC PART. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED THE CAR. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. WE HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR INCLUDING HAVING THE ENGINE REBUILT FOR THE HIGH OIL USAGE ISSUE. WE ARE GLAD THAT WE AND OUR CHILDREN WILL NOT BE DRIVING THIS DEATH TRAP ANYMORE.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX I JUST PURCHASED AUG 5,2018 WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I WENT TO TURN IN THE PARKING LOT AT THE VEHICLE JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN I HAD TRY COASTING INTO A SPACE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A SERVICE CENTER ONLY TO LEARN THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH G MM C/CHEVROLET. UNFORTUNATELY GMC IS TURNING A DEAF EAR TO THIS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF A MAJOR INTERSTATE I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED AND GMA IS CLEARLY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND REFUSING TO DO A RECALL I'M PRAYING NOONE GETS KILLED BEFORE THEIR HAND IS FORCED TO MAKE THEIR PRODUCT SAFE FOR THE CONSUMER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WIPERS FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY AND SEIZED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE ROADWAY DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE DEALER (JOE BOWMAN CHEVROLET, 2455 E MARKET ST, HARRISONBURG, VA 22801, (540) 908-2809) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALL CAMPAIGNS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. *TT CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING WIPERS FROZE DURING HEAVY RAIN. UPDATED 11/21/18*JB

I WAS DRIVING DOWN I75 WHEN IT STARTED RAINING THEN POURING,I TURNED ON MY WIPERS AND THEY WORKED FINE FOR A COUPLE MINUTES. THEN STOPPED WORKING ,I COULD STILL HEAR THE MOTER WORKING ,BUT NO MOVEMENT FROM HE WIPERBLADES.TTRAFFIC WAS HEAVY AND I COULD NOT SEE ,I TURNED ON MY FLASHERS AND LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THEN I WAITED TILL THE RAIN STOPPED TO DRIVE HOME

MY CAR HAS A ROUGH IDLE/FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL WHEN IT'S IDLING. AFTER GETTING A LOW-ENGINE POWER INDICATOR LIGHT, I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THE REAR HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AS A RESULT OF THE CODE DURING DIAGNOSTICS. AT A COST OF MORE THAN $1,300, THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED, AND AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE PROBLEM PERSISTED AND I CALLED THE DEALER RIGHT THEN. I WAS TOLD TO LET THE CAR RESET AND DO HIGHWAY DRIVING. AFTER FIVE DAYS AND A 12-HOUR HIGHWAY ROUND TRIP, I STILL HAD THE PROBLEM AND CALLED THE DEALER BACK. THEY HAD MY CAR THREE DAYS AND NOW SAY THIS IS A TIMING CHAIN ISSUE, BUT THEY ALSO SAY THAT SOME OF MY MODELS ARE HAVING HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION, LEADING TO THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUE; THEREFORE, THEY'RE TRACKING MY OIL CONSUMPTION FOR 2,000 MILES. STILL, MY QUESTION IS WHY REPLACE THE HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP SINCE THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM? MY YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL--BUT NOT VIN--IS CURRENTLY UNDER RECALL FOR FAILING HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL PUMPS, BUT MY DEALER WON'T BUDGE AND INCLUDE IT IN THE RECALL. THE RECALL IS: #43180: PRODUCT EMISSION RECALL ' HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP ' (SEP 30, 2016). I ALSO CONTACTED GM'S HELP LINE, AND THEY INVESTIGATED AND DID NOTHING. I CAN PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION IF NECESSARY, BUT I'M REQUESTING THAT THE RECALL BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE MY VIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT COULD NOT START THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE FELT AS IF IT WERE REVERSING WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ENGAGED IN DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JIM BROWNE CHEVROLET TAMPA BAY (11300 N FLORIDA AVE, TAMPA, FL 33612, (888) 366-5458) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL WAS BURNT OUT AND THE CIRCUIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,253.

WHILE DRIVING CAR TREMBLED A LITTLE A MINUTE OR SO BEFORE IT SEEMINGLY LOST POWER, NO ACCELERSTION, STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. LIGHTS REMAINED ON DASH BUT NO POWER. NO WARNING LIGHTS. NOTHING. THANKFULLY WAS ABLE TO SAFELY STOP NEAR SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THEBKEY AND CAR STARTED LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. THANKFUL I WAS EXITING A PARKING LOT, AND WASNT ON THE HIGHWAY LIKE I WAS JUST A FEW HOURS PRIOR. I COULDVE BEEN KILLED

I HAVE A 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX THAT JUST RANDOMLY HAD THE TRANSMISSION GO OUT IN IT. I HAD TAKEN IT TO A DEALERSHIP NOT EVEN 2 WEEKS AGO AND THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO A FULL VEHICLE FLUID TOP OFF AND FULL OIL CHANGE. NEVER HAVE I HAD ANY ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE PRIOR TO THIS AND IT ONLY HAS 90K MILES ON IT.

THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT IN THE VEHICLE WITH ONLY 85,XXX MILES ON IT. COSTING ALMOST $3,000 TO FIX IT.

DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET IN THE RAIN. WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING BUSHING CAME APART. NO RECALL ON PART HOLE WINDSHIELD WIPER TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL WAS PRESENT INSIDE THE CABIN. THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE NORMALLY AFTER APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE A FAILURE COULD NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FERMAN CHEVROLET 'TAMPA (9751 E. ADAMO DRIVE, TAMPA, FL 33619) WHERE THE FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FRACTURED TIMING CHAIN AND THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND CASE NUMBER: 8-4527816728 WAS OPENED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE SERVICE ROAD WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY STALLED WITHOUT NOTICE. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY VEHICLES TRAVELING BEHIND ME. THE CAR STARTED UP RIGHT AWAY AND I WAS ABLE TO PARK SAFELY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON AND IT SHOWS A CODE FOR A BAD SOLENOID. THIS IS A PROMINENT PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR, I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS PEOPLE COMPLAIN ON VARIOUS WEBSITES ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHY THIS CAR IS STILL OUT ON THE ROAD. IT IS UNSAFE. IT WILL KILL SOMEONE EVENTUALLY. I AM NOW SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND WILL TRADE THIS VEHICLE IN.

PURCHASED VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2018. AS OF JULY 2018, MY AC COMPRESSOR HAS GONE OUT & THE SERVICE STABLITITRAK WARNING KEEPS COMING ON. THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE.

GOING DOWN THE ROAD THE AC STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR SO WE HAVE NO AIR IN THIS SUV NOT FAIR AND IT STARTED TO JERK LIKE IT WAS LOSING POWER SCARY

VEHICLE HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED. ENGINE STARTED TO STALL WHILE DRIVING, THEN WOULD NOT START. WARNING LIGHTS DID NOT APPEAR UNTIL AFTER THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. SAID ENGINE UNDERPOWERED. HAD IT TOWED TO MECHANIC, WHO FOUND THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE ENGINE, EVEN THOUGH NO LIGHTS CAME ON AND WE CHECKED THE OIL 3 DAYS EARLIER. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER SAID THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT REPAIRS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A SPECIAL COVERAGE WARRANTY ISSUED BY GM. GM DENIED COVERAGE WITH NO EXPLANATION SENT TO ME. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE TO FILE AN APPEAL, AND WAS GIVEN A FILE NUMBER AND TOLD SOMEONE WOULD CONTACT ME WITHIN 2 BUSINESS DAYS. DESPITE ALMOST DAILY FOLLOW UP CALLS BY ME FOR A MONTH NO ONE HAS CALLED ME BACK. EACH TIME I AM TOLD IT THE CASE IS BEING HANDLED BY A SENIOR ADVISOR AND THAT THE OPERATOR WAS NOT ABLE TO CONTACT THEM AND THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK. I ASKED FOR THE CASE TO BE ESCALATED TO A SUPERVISOR, AND AFTER 4 TIMES WAS TOLD IT HAD BEEN, BUT WHEN I CALLED BACK TO SEE WHY NO ONE HAD CALLED ME BACK WAS TOLD THAT THE SENIOR ADVISOR WAS STILL ASSIGNED TO THE CASE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, WITH THE ENGINE STALLING WHILE STILL IN MOTION, WITH NO WARNING, AND IS CAUSED BY A KNOWN MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND SHOULD BE PART OF A RECALL, NOT "SPECIAL COVERAGE".

MY TIMING CHAIN WAS MAKING NOISE. SINCE OTHER MODELS OF THE EQUINOX HAVE A BULLETIN THAT COVERS THAT REPAIR I DROVE IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP. ON THE WAY THERE MY ENGINE EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING UP A HILL AT 40MPH, CRACKING THE ENGINE BLOCK AND EXHAUST MANIFOLD. ENGINE NEEDS REPLACEMENT. GM WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR. ISSUE WAS REPORTED TO GM. IT IS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR, WORKING OFF AN ESTIMATE. I WILL ADD THE FINAL INVOICE LATER.

WHILE DRIVING AND I COME TO A STOP, , THE ENGINE WILL TURN OFF BY ITSELF AND I AM NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE TO TURN TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT IN ORDER FOR IT TO RUN AGAIN. THERE WAS NO WARNING THAT THE CAR HAD TURNED OFF. I HAD THIS PROBLEM ABOUT 7 MONTHS AGO, AND BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER. THEY REPLACED BOTH INTAKE AND EXHAUST CAM SOLENOID AND ALSO THE EXCESS OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL ON THE CAR. THE CAR WAS RUNNING FINE UNTIL NOW, STARTED TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN.

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AT LESS THAN 100000 MILES

WE WERE ON VACATION IN FLORIDA. A SUDDEN TORRENTIAL RAIN CAME. I TURNED MY WIPERS ON HIGH AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS THEY JUST STOPPED WORKING. I COULD NOT SEE SO I HAD TO QUICKLY PUT ON MY WIPERS AND SLOWLY PULL TO THE SIDE IN THE MIDST OF HEAVY TRAFFIC LEAVING THE PARK

RECALL ON THE FRONT SEAT THERE'S A RECALL IN THE ENGINE AREA ELECTRICAL SURGES THERE'S A RECALLED BEGINNING OF THE CRANKING UP PART OF THE CAR THERE ARE MORE RECALLS BUT I AM NOT FOR SURE OF THE REST

TAKATA RECALL. MY 2011 EQUINOX WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF . I WENT TO GET MY 2 YEAR OLD OUT OF THE CAR AND THE CAR TOOK ITSELF OUT OF PARK. I WAS DRAGED BY THE DOOR AND RECEIVED MANY INJURIES. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY NEIGHBORS DRIVEWAY WHEN IT BEGAN ROLLING BACKWARDS WITH MY KIDS INSIDE.

AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON NEEDS TO BE SERVICED IT KEEPS SAYING AIRBAGS ARE OFF THIS LIGHT COMES ON EVERYTIME EQUINOX IS IN MOTION AND CONTINUES TO BEEP ALL THE TIME!

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ... VEHICLE HAS 88,000 MILES ON IT. LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND GMC WON'T FIX. THEY SAY BULLETIN FOR REPAIRS IS EXPIRED. WE DID NOT RECEIVE NOTICE GMC WOULD REPAIR AND WE'VE HAD VEHICLE IN FOR OIL CHANGES THREE TIMES IN THE LAST TWELVE MONTHS.

TODAY I ADDED MY NAME TO THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, CASE NO. 3:17-CV-5337 THAT WAS FILED ON 9/14/17 IN THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA AGAINST GM REGARDING MY 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. IF YOU'RE AFFECTED, ADD YOUR NAME AS WELL AS FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION. FEB2017, I PURCHASED SAID AUTO WITH 69,684 MILES IN GOOD CONDITION. ON MY WAY TO WORK WHILE AT A RED LIGHT THE SUV SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. BEING UNABLE TO RESTART THE SUV, IT WAS TOWED ON MAY 25, 2018 TO MY MECHANIC (CB ISLAND, 589 UNION AVE, WESTBURY, NY) TO FIND THAT THERE WERE DAMAGED VALVES, A BROKEN TIMING CHAIN, AND A BLOWN ENGINE AT 93,675 MILES. THIS MILEAGE IS WELL UNDER GM'S SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT MILEAGE OF 120K. THE CAUSE OF THE DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR WAS LACK OF OIL IN THE ENGINE. BEING DILIGENT IN GETTING OIL CHANGES, THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THE OIL WAS LOW IN THE CAR. GM REFUSED TO HONOR THE WARRANTY THOUGH THEY KNEW OF THE DEFECT ON THESE ENGINES. THERE ARE MANY ALMOST IDENTICAL MECHANICAL ISSUES OVER MULTIPLE YEARS FOR THE CHEVY EQUINOX. THIS IS NOT JUST A FEW OF US THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ENGINE FAILURE, BUT ENOUGH TO HAVE A CLASS ACTION INITIATED. HAVING A $16K LOAN REMAINING, I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO REPAIR THE ENGINE. THE GOVERNMENT (WHICH WAS ASSISTED GM OUT OF BANKRUPTCY) NEEDS TO HOLD GM ACCOUNTABLE BY FORCING THEM TO TAKE ACTION BY RECALLING ALL AFFECTED MODELS, AND TO REIMBURSE THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY MADE THE REPAIRS IN ADDITION TO HAVING GM INSPECT THE REPAIRED ENGINES TO ENSURE NO FUTURE PROBLEMS TO PRE-EMPT THE FATALITIES THAT WILL EVENTUALLY BEGIN TO ADD UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS REMOVING ITEMS OUT OF THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, THE LIFTGATE INADVERTENTLY CLOSED AND STRUCK HIM ON THE HEAD. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE DEALER (BUBBA OUSTALET CHEVROLET CADILLAC, 819 N MAIN ST, JENNINGS, LA 70546, (337)-246-5041) WAS CONTACTED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,966. *TT

IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS WE HAVE REPLACED BOTH THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE, VEHICLE HAD LESS THEN 150,000 MILES ON IT.

2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX AT 89,000 MILES ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON RENDERING BOTH THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL USELESS. REPAIRS REQUIRED THE REPLACEMENT OF BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS DUE TO THE FACT THE RELUCTOR RINGS / MAGNETIC RINGS ON BOTH BEARINGS HAD STARTED TO DISINTEGRATE MISSING LARGE PORTIONS OF IT. APPARENTLY THESE RELUCTOR RINGS ARE POORLY GLUED ON. THIS SAFETY DEVICE SHOULD HAVE LASTED MUCH LONGER. AT $125 PER BEARING PLUS LABOR THIS IS NOT A CHEAP FIX.

FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. MOTOR DOES RUN.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR STALLS AND IT DOES IT ALSO WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A TRAFFIC LITE AND THEN WHEN RESTARTED IT SURGES. THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT IN MY CAR. CANNOT BELIEVE WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THERE IS NO RECALL, REALLY. MAYBE NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED YET. MINE STALLED OUT 4 TIMES JUST TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AND THEN WITHIN A BLOCK IT DID IT IN TRAFFIC.

RATTLES WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE. SMELLS OF GASOLINE FROM VEHICLE WHEN RUNNING. THIS BEGAN IN DECEMBER 2017 AND CONTINUES TO THIS DAY

ON JUNE 4, 2018 I PICKED MY CAR UP FROM THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AFTER AN OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM WAS ADDRESSED. UPON LEAVING THE PARKING LOT, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. AT A CERTAIN POINT IN THE TURN, THE WHEEL VIOLENTLY JERKS BACK TO THE CENTER POSITION. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AND IT WAS IDENTIFIED AS ANOTHER SPECIAL REPAIR BULLETIN ISSUED BY GM ON THIS SPECIFIC MAKE/MODEL. ON THURSDAY, JUNE 7TH, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETE. WHEN I ARRIVED TO PICK THE CAR UP, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE INFORMED ME THAT WHILE DRIVING IT FROM THE SERVICE CENTER TO THE FRONT OF THE DEALERSHIP HE NOTICED THE ISSUE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. CALLED THE FOLLOWING DAY, JUNE 8TH, WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS REPAIRED AGAIN. PICKED IT UP, DROVE ABOUT 100 MILES BEFORE THE ISSUE REAPPEARED, THIS TIME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY. MANAGED TO PARK THE CAR FOR 10 MINUTES, PROBLEM RESOLVED. PROBLEM REAPPEARED 50 MILES LATER. DISAPPEARED AND REAPPEARED FOR THE NEXT 200 MILES. CAR IS BACK WITH DEALER. NO INDICATION IF IT CAN OR WILL BE REPAIRED. THE CAR IS DANGEROUS. WHEN ACTIVELY MALFUNCTIONING, WHICH COULD START AND STOP AT ANY TIME, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO NAVIGATE A LEFT TURN, IT IS DIFFICULT TO SHIFT LANES, I SUSPECT IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO QUICKLY VEER LEFT TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I'VE BEEN ADVISED TO TRADE THE CAR IN. THE DEALERSHIP CURRENTLY HAS TWO IDENTICAL MAKE/MODEL YEARS FOR SALE ON THE LOT. IN ADDITION TO ALL OF THE OTHER ISSUES GM HAS SOLD WITH THIS CAR, THE NEW STEERING ISSUE IS GOING TO HURT OR KILL SOMEONE. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE IT DOES.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION- MY 2011 EQUINOX HAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION (AND IT LOOKS LIKE MAJORITY OF THEM DO!) CHEVY ISSUED A STATEMENT ABOUT THIS BUT IT IS NO LONGER FIXABLE AND, UNFORTUNATELY, THESE VEHICLES ARE STILL ON THE ROAD. I BOUGHT ONE THAT IS NOW DEAD BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. IT STARTED TO SHAKE AS I GOT TO A STOP SIGN AND WHEN I WENT TO THE SHOP, THE SAME DAY, IT WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL. I KEEP REGULAR OIL CHANGES ON MY VEHICLE AND MY DAD OWNS A BODY SHOP SO IT WAS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THE OIL TO BE GONE EXCEPT FOR A FLAW IN THE VEHICLE. I'M EXTREMELY UPSET THAT THIS WASN'T A FULL RECALL FROM CHEVY, THAT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. INSTEAD I'M OUT A VEHICLE BECAUSE I CAN NO LONGER SUBMIT PAPERWORK TO GET THE FIX REIMBURSED AND THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NEED TO REBUILD OR REPLACE THE ENTIRE MOTOR TO GET IT WORKING AGAIN.

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND I WENT TO START IT AND IT WOULDN'T START, SO I GOT IT TOWED TO THE GARAGE. THEY FOUND A LOT OF NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE SO THEY CHECKED THE COMPRESSION AND FOUND 0 PSI ON ALL CYLINDERS. THEY FOUND THE VALVES BENT AND TOP OF PISTONS SMASHED. EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION DUE TO PISTON RING WEAR CAUSED THE ENGINE TO FAIL. THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT PROVIDE A REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE VEHICLE'S REPAIR COSTS. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE IDLING AT A STOP, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CONSUMING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT PURCHASED AND REPLACED THE PART. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED SERVICE REQUEST NUMBER: 8-4214923931. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,722. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WIPER BLADE MOTOR AND LINKAGE BECAME DETACHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JIM TAYLOR CHEVROLET (139 GRIMSHAW ST, RAYVILLE, LA 71269), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,012.

CAR STALLED OUT WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND DRIVE HOME. WAS SCHEDULED FOR AN OIL CHANGE THE NEXT DAY, WENT TO DRIVE THE CAR AND MADE IT THREE HOUSES DOWN BEFORE IT STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP. HAD IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID IT JUMPED TIME, AND THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND MADE A MESS OF THE ENGINE. ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. FAILED AT 73K MILES. BOUGHT THE CAR CERTIFIED USED AT 36K TWO YEARS AGO AND HAVE HAD IT SERVICED REGULARLY. DON'T HAVE MONEY FOR REPAIRS AND CHEVY DEALER WON'T FIX....

THE CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE.THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHEN IDLE IS LOW.

MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING TODAY, WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, I PULLED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I ALMOST DIED BECAUSE THEY WAS NO SHOULDER LANE AT THE TIME. MY FRIEND CAME AND GUIDED ME ON BASE AT A LOCAL SHOP. I TALKED TO CHEVY THEY DID NOT CARE STATING THE RECALL WAS NOT FOR THIS YEAR. I THOUGHT THAT WAS STUPID BECAUSE IT WAS THE SAME PART. CHEVY HAD RECALLS FOR THE SAME ISSUE, SAME MAKE, MODEL OF THE NEXT YEAR AND BEYOND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND STALLED. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO COMMUNITY CHEVROLET BUICK (4521 UNIVERSITY AVE, CEDAR FALLS, IA 50613, (319) 277-5010) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 84120242638. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,744. *TT

I CALLED IN THIS COMPLAINT. RECEIVED A NUMBER ODI11090436. ON 2/01/2018 AFTER DARK I WAS ON A 4-LANE GOING 60-65 MPH., MY CAR'S ACCELERATION SUDDENLY WENT DOWN AND THE ENGINE STARTED CHUGGING. I BRAKED, DROVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PARKED. NO CHUGGING WHILE IN PARK. HAD TO BE TOWED TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN CEDAR FALLS, IA. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. WHEN ASKED HOW OFTEN THIS PARTICULAR SHOP SEES THIS SPECIFIC BREAK-DOWN, THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID A COUPLE TIMES A MONTH. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IF THEY ARE SEEING THIS MANY, THAT OTHER DEALERSHIPS WOULD BE SEEING THIS PATTERN REPEATED AS WELL. MY QUESTION IS WHY HASN'T THIS ISSUE BEEN FLAGGED TO GENERAL MOTORS? I WAS LUCKY THAT THERE WAS NO ONE CLOSE BEHIND ME ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS A SUDDEN EVENT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND A COUPLE OF OTHER LIGHTS CAME ON, IT STARTLED ME AND IT TOOK A SECOND OR TWO TO BEGIN BRAKING. THIS WAS A COSTLY FIX AND NOT ONE I WOULD EXPECT TO HAVE TO REPAIR WITH 114,744 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.

2011 EQUINOX 2LT FWD WITH LESS THAN 70,000 MILES NEEDS AN ENTIRE NEW TRANSMISSION. NO HARD DRIVING. NO TOWING. REGULAR USE TO AND FROM WORK. CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING ONLY. ONE MORNING SIMPLY REFUSED TO GO INTO DRIVE, EVEN THOUGH REVERSE WORKS FINE. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. CANNOT BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.

JUST REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AT 135,000. IN READING ONLINE, SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR/MAKE.

DURING HEAVY RAIN STORM WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING @ 65 MPH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BOTH STOPPED WORKING. THE ARM THAT LINKS THE MOTOR TO THE WIPER TRANSMISSION HAD COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED. VERY DANGEROUS AS IT HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED DURING RUSH HOUR. GENERAL MOTORS CALLS THE PART THAT FAILED WIPER TRANSMISSION. WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE CHEVROLET PARTS DEPT EMPLOYEE HE STATED ITS A VERY COMMON FAILURE AND ITS THE EXACT PART THAT IS RECALLED ON 2013 EQUINOX.

TIMING BELT FAILED WITHIN TWO YEARS OF THE FIRST TIME BEING FIXED. FIRST TIME WAS WHEN VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED AT APPROX 123K, SECOND TIME IT HAS FAILED IS APPROX 179K. THERE IS AN ONGOING OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HEARD THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE OIL ISSUE THAT WAS NOT PUBLICALLY ANNOUNCED AND I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT WHY IT WASNT IF IN FACT THIS IS AN ISSUE. TIMING BELT SHOULD NOT FAIL TWICE . TOOK VEHICLE IN TO SHOP AFTER VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND JUMPING WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT, IN DRIVE WITH THE BREAKS ON. WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE, VECHICLE WOULD DRIVE BUT HAD SEVERE LOSS IN POER AND WAS VIBRATING THE WHOLE TIME. UPON TAKING TO THE SHOP AND HAVING AN ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE, IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS INDEED STRETCHED OUT AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPAIRED AT A COST OF $2500. THIS REPAIR HAD BEEN MADE TWO YEARS PRIOR AS WELL , HAVING HAD TO REPLACE THE CHAINS AND SUCH DUE TO THIS RECURRING AND ONGOIGN OIL ISSUE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE WAS PRESENT WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL IN EITHER DIRECTION. WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE AND VIBRATE SEVERELY. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED OF LOSING CONTROL AND CRASHING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LONE STAR CHEVROLET (18900 NORTHWEST PKWY, JERSEY VILLAGE, TX) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BALL JOINTS AND CONTROL ARM WERE FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER (DAVE WHITE CHEVROLET, 5880 MONROE ST, SYLVANIA, OH 43560) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED A CASE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE MADE ABNORMALLY LOUD WINDING AND KNOCKING NOISES. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WAS CONSUMING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OIL DISPENSER WAS EMPTY AND MORE OIL WAS ADDED TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE TIMING CHAIN/BELT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

MY FIANC BOUGHT HER 2011 EQUINOX USED FROM A LOCAL DEALER. SHE BOUGHT THE 4 CYLINDER WITH 2 WHEEL DRIVE. I THINK IT'S THE PLAIN EDITION? ANYWAYS IT WASN'T LONG AFTER BUYING IT THAT IT STARTED MAKING NOISES THAT SOUNDED LIKE THE VEHICLE WAS GOING TO RADDLE APART ANY MIN. FROM DAY ONE IT GOES THROUGH OIL LIKE CRAZY! IT SEEMS LIKE I PUT MORE OIL IN THEN FUEL. THEN SHE WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK ONE DAY AND THE TRANNY STOPPED WORKING. PUSHING ON THE GAS ONLY MADE RPS GO UP, LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. SO WE TOWED IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WITH A GREAT REPUTATION. IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR THEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND TELL US THE BAD NEWS. WHOLE TRANNY NEEDED TO BE DONE AND THE BILL WASN'T GOING TO BE CHEAP. IT ENDED UP COSTING US AROUND 3700 DOLLARS AFTER IT WAS ALL SAID AND DONE. FEW WEEK WENT BY AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. SO WE BROUGHT IT BACK AND MORE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THANK THE LIARS THE SHOP GUARANTEES THEIR WORK BECAUSE THEY TOOK IT FOR ANOTHER WEEK. WE GOT IT BACK A RIGHT AWAY IT WAS SLIPPING GOING INTO 3RD EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE. ONCE AGAIN WE HAD ISSUES WITH IF AND THIS TIME THE GUY SAID HE GOING TO ORDER SOME AFTERMARKET PARTS INSTEAD OF USING THE CHEAP FACTORY CRAP! THE TRANNY HAS WORKED SINCE THEN BUT I KNOW THAT IT'S NOT WORKING PERFECT EITHER. SINCE THEN WE HAVE HAD TO DUMP ANOTHER FEW THOUSAND REPLACING GASKETS, THE TIMING CHAIN, AND EXHAUST MANIFOLD. NOW A NEW PROBLEM JUST CAME UP AND THE CENTER DASH WENT BLANK AND NOTHING WORKS ON IT. THE DISPLAY IS BLANK, NO RADIO, CAN'T ADJUST AIR FLOW AND ALL INTERIOR SOUND STOP MAKING NOISES. LIKE THE TICKING OF THE BLINKER OR DINGING ARE JUST NOT WORKING! WE COULD HAVE THE CAR PAID OFF WITH THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE SUNK IN HER CAR!! I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS VEHICUL AND FEEL HELPLESS. WE STILL OWN ON THE CAR AND I DONT THINK IT WILL EVER BE PAID OFF BEFORE IT DIES FOR GOOD!

I HAVE A 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX WITH HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES I BEEN MAINTAINING TO AVOID ENGINE ISSUES. CHEVY WILL CHECK HOWEVER WANTS ME TO PAY FOR OIL CHANGE TEST AND SAID THEY WILL CHARGE ME IF THEY FEEL THE ENGINE HAS ISSUES DUE TO POOR MAINTENANCE. THE HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION IS CAUSING THIS AND APPEARS AS A WAY TO TURN CUSTOMERS AWAY TO AVOID COSTS TO THEM. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE.

WIPER BLADE MOTOR STOPPED WORKING IN A HEAVY DOWNPOUR. I WAS ON A ROAD I KNOW SO WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF SAFELY. IF I DIDN'T KNOW THIS ROAD I AM POSITIVE I WOULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT. THE MANIFOLD WAS CHANGED IN 2013. TODAY IS MARCH 22, 2018. LAST WEEK I HAD THE MANIFOLD CHANGED AGAIN. CRACKED AGAIN. THERE WERE FUMES COMING INTO THE PASSENGER AREA. THE CAR IS IN THE REPAIR GARAGE AGAIN BECAUSE THE FUMES ARE EVEN WORSE. THE CAR HAS ALWAYS HAD A LOUD TICKING SOUND. IT USES A LOT OF OIL. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER BEFORE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT. THEY DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND SAID THE OIL USE WAS WITHIN NORMAL RANGE. HOW CAN THIS BE NORMAL RANGE WHEN I PUT A COUPLE QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 200 MILES. THIS CAR IS JUNK.

IN THE MIDDLE OF ACCELERATING OUT OF A PARKING LOT INTO TWO WAY TRAFFIC,VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE AND IN MOTION, THE VEHICLE QUIT ACCELERATING TO A STOP AND ACTED AS THOUGH IT WAS IN NEUTRAL EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN DRIVE. NO ENGINE REVVING SOUND (ENGINE SOUNDED "NORMAL") WHEN ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED (TO THE FLOOR), AND VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS (DUE TO SLOPE NATURE OF PARKING LOT) EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, HOPING IT WOULD "RESET" , THEN PUT BACK INTO DRIVE WITH NO FORWARD MOTION OR ENGINE REVVING WHEN ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED. I THEN PUT THE VEHICLE BACK INTO PARK AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE I WAS ABLE TO APPROPRIATELY ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE.

2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DECLINED ASSISTANCE DUE TO THE VEHICLE HAVING MULTIPLE OWNERS. *JS

THE 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX I OWN STARTED TO IDLE REALLY HIGH THEN REALLY LOW AND MADE THE CAR SPEED UP AND THEN THE IDLE SPEED WOULD DROP TO A POINT WHERE THE ENGINE WOULD DIE. YOU WOULD HAVE NO PEDAL CONTROL AT ALL JUST ROLLING ALONG ON A CITY STREET. IT HAPPENED OUT OF THE BLUE AND WAS VERY SCARY IN BUSY TRAFFIC. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY HAD SPECIAL COVERAGES ON THE VEHICLE THAT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT.(EVEN THOUGH I OWNED THE CAR AT THE TIME THE SPECIAL COVERAGES WERE RELEASED). THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT CHEVROLET WAS WELL AWARE THAT THIS CAR HAS A PROBLEM WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. (I ALREADY NEW THAT WITH OIL CHANGES AND HAVING TO ADD A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES). THE DEALERSHIP ALSO INFORMED ME THAT CHEVROLET, NEW THAT THE TIMING CHAIN ON THIS VEHICLE WOULD BREAK AND BE VERY DANGEROUS TO THE ENGINE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WOULD ALSO FIX THAT ON SPECIAL COVERAGES. I TOLD THEM TO GO AHEAD AND FIX THESE TWO ISSUES. THEY TOOK THE ENGINE APART, AND INFORMED ME THAT BECAUSE OF THESE 2 ISSUES THAT GM AND CHEVROLET WERE WELL AWARE OF, IT HAD SCORING IN MY CYLINDERS. THE VEHICLE WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING BECAUSE IT WOULD IDLE OUT OF CONTROL AND SHUT ITSELF OFF OUT OF NOWHERE. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CONFIDENT THAT THE SCORING ON THE CYLINDERS WAS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE TWO ISSUES THAT WERE COVERED UNDER THE SPECIAL COVERAGES. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF ANY OF THESE SPECIAL COVERAGES FROM GM OR CHEVROLET. CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME THEY HAD MY ADDRESS CORRECT BUT COULD NOT CONFIRM THAT THE NOTICES WERE SENT TO ME FOR THE SPECIAL COVERAGES. MY FAMILY AND I WERE IN DANGER DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, AND CHEVROLET NEW ALL ABOUT THE DANGERS IN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I NOW HAVE A CAR SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH A BLOWN ENGINE AND CHEVROLET WON'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLS.

OIL CONSUMPTION, ROUGH IDLE, BAD TICKING ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE A DIESEL TRUCK, STALLED.

HAD MY CAR FOR 6 YEARS AND CHANGED OIL EVERY 3000 MILES. LAST WEEK IT RAN OUT OF OIL OVERNIGHT! AND NOW I'VE BEEN HAVING TO PUT IN A QUART OF OIL EVERY 200 MILES OR SO. IT COULD HAVE CEASED UP MY WHOLE ENGINE AND RUINED IT! THE ENGINE LIGHT DIDN'T EVEN GO ON TO TELL ME THERE WAS AN ISSUE. IT IS LIKE IT WAS A SNEAK ATTACK AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS SORT OF THING IS HAPPENING TO OTHER OWNERS. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED WHEN THEY FOUND THIS ISSUE. AS IT IS, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE MAJOR REPAIRS DONE TO USE IT AT ALL. CAR WILL BE WORTH LESS THAN REPAIRS AND IT'S NOT EVEN PAID OFF YET.

PCV ORIFICE FROZEN WITH ICE, CAUSED CRANKCASE OVERPRESSURIZATION AND BLEW OUT REAR CRANKSHAFT SEAL, LOST ALL ENGINE OIL. VEHICLE WAS ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH.

I JUST HAD TO REPLACE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 2 YEARS ON MY 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX DUE TO VERY LARGE CRACKS. THE CAR HAS AROUND 90,000 MILES ON IT AND I REALOZE IT'S 7 YEARS OLD, BUT I TALE PRETTY GOOD CARE OF IT AND GET REGULAR MAINTENCE USUALLY AT AN ACTUAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THE FIRST TIME I EXPRESSED MY SUPRISE TO THE MECHANIC WHEN HE YOLD ME THERE WAS A VERY LARGE CRACK IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. HIS RESPONSE WAS THAT CHEVY EQUINOXES ARE WIDELY KNOWN TO GO THROUGH MANIFOLDS QUICKLY AND FREQUENTLY, AGAIN THIS WAS AT AN ACTUAL CHEVY SERVICE STATION AT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THE SECOND TIME LESS THAN 2 YEARS LATER WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO TH AAA CERTIFIED CARE CARE CENTER AND AGAIN SAME THING, MANIFOLD LARGE CRACK MUST BE REPLACED AND AAA TECH TOLD ME SAME STORY, CHEVY EQUINOX MANIFOLD ARE WIDELY KNOWN NOT TO LAST. ONLY THIS TIME IN ADDITION TO THE MANIFOLD, THE CRACKED MANIFOLD HAD SOMEHOW CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHICH IS NOW BROKEN AND MUST BE REPLACED. SO MY QUESTION IS, IF THESE ARE WIDELY KNOWN DEFECTS AMONG 2010-2011 CHEVY EQUINOXES, WHY HASNT CHEVY ISSUED RECALLS FOR MANIFOLDS AND CARALYTIC CONVERTERS?

EVER SINCE I HAVE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IT IS A LEMON. I HAVE ALL THE RECEIPTS AS WELL AS RESEARCH THAT GM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES AND EVERYONE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS MYSELF. FROM THE OIL CONSUMPTION AND STILL HAVING PROBLEMS AND EVEN SMELLS LIKE BURNING CAUSING ODOR WHICH IS VERY STRONG, STALLING ISSUES WHERE MY CAR HAS EVEN STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AFTER A NEW ENGINE WAS PUT IN, THE ENGINE TICKING STILL DOES AND STALLING EVEN WITH NEW ENGINE PUT IN HAVE VIDEO OF THE SOUNDS IT MAKES THAT THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON AFTER ALL THIS TIME AND THE CLATTERING NOISE WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED. I HAVE CONTACTED GM NUMEROUS TIMES BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH ME NOR MY CHILDREN IN THIS CAR. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND THEY STILL WON'T RECALL THE VEHICLE AND BE CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF THE CUSTOMER. I HAVE ALL MY RECEIPTS AS WELL AS ALL THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE AND EVEN THE DEALER KEEPS GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND WITH EVERYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND SAYS IT'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT ALL THE TIME JUST TO TRY AND GET MORE MONEY AND STILL HAVING TO TAKE IT IN THE SHOP BUT THIS TIME WAS TOLD OH IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BUT YET TRIED TO SAY IT WAS THE TIRES THIS TIME WHICH IT WASN'T BECAUSE THERE IS BRAND NEW TIRES ON IT. SO I HATE DRIVING THIS CAR EVEN TO WORK LET ALONE WITH MY CHILDREN BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL STOP AGAIN AND CAUSE ME TO WRECK OR GET HIT OR EVEN THE FUMES CAUSING PROBLEMS WHICH THEY DON'T NEED TO INHALE. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF ALL THE ISSUES I HAVE HAD AND STILL CONTINUE TO HAVE AND PROVIDE ME WITH A SAFER VEHICLE. I HAVE ALREADY FILED WITH THE BBB AND WILL BE SPEAKING WITH STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL AS WELL. IF NEED PROOF OF RECEIPTS I CAN FAX THOSE.

I OWN A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX LS AWD WITH ROUGHLY 86,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING BACK AN APPOINTMENT THIS MORNING, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND THE "ENGINE REDUCED POWER"/"SERVICE STABILITRAK SYSTEM" LIGHTS TURNED ON. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MORNING TRAFFIC THAT WAS GOING 70MPH (THE SPEED LIMIT) AND HIGHER. THE VEHICLE'S RPM REDUCED SUDDENLY AND DRASTICALLY, AND I WAS ONLY ABLE TO SUSTAIN 40MPH. I WAS ALONE. I COASTED OFF THE HIGHWAY AS QUICKLY AS I COULD, STOPPED AT THE MULTI-LANE INTERSECTION, AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I COULD NOT RESTART IT. IT WAS 9 DEGREES OUTSIDE WITH SNOW ON THE GROUND, AND THE HEAT STOPPED WORKING IN THE VEHICLE, TOO. THE POWER STEERING SHUT DOWN. I HAD TO WAIT OUTSIDE TO DIRECT TRAFFIC SO THAT I WOULD NOT GET HIT. IT WAS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. AFTER THE TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE MECHANIC NOTIFIED ME THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, QUOTING ME BETWEEN $2300 FOR A USED ENGINE AND $6500 FOR A NEW ONE. CORPORATE HAS ONLY OFFERED 10% COST SHARE FOR A NEW ENGINE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND A KNOWN ISSUE BASED ON CONSUMER COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ. THE COMPLAINTS ARE CONSISTENT AND POINT TO ENGINE FAILURE WITH TOTAL REPLACEMENT IN THE RANGE I WAS QUOTED. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE THE ENGINE, AND IT IS A SHAME THAT A VEHICLE WITH SO FEW MILES AND YEARS NEEDS THIS TYPE OF REPAIR! FURTHERMORE, I COULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED OR WORSE, AS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHERS! THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD NO COLLISIONS, NO MAJOR DAMAGES, AND I HAVE KEPT UP WITH ALL RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE. NOW I HAVE NO VEHICLE, NO POSSIBILITY TO RECOVER ITS VALUE, AND I AM DEVASTATED ABOUT THE FINANCIAL BLOW.

ENGINE FAILED DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF WORKING THROUGH AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WITH THE DEALERSHIP BUT WAS UNABLE TO FINISH. MY CAR FAILED THANKFULLY WHILE IT WAS STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS FAILURE COULD HAVE HAPPENED AT ANY TIME EVEN WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR OR ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT DUE TO THE VEHICLE CONSUMING EXCESSIVE OIL BETWEEN REGULAR OIL CHANGES IT RESULTS IN ISSUES WITH THE TIMING CHAIN WHICH EVENTUALLY LEAD TO ENGINE ISSUES AND ULTIMATELY FAILURE. THERE IS CURRENTLY A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN RELEASED BY GM FOR THE KNOWN ISSUE BUT NO INFORMATION WAS EVEN SENT TO ME ABOUT THE ISSUE SO THAT I COULD BE MADE AWARE OF IT AND MONITOR THE PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL" DEFECTIVE MASTER CYLINDER 20990924:SL-N-CYLINDER KIT ( 04649-20990. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WHEN HITTING THE BRAKE IT WENT TO THE FLOOR AND CAR DID NOT STOP. I HAD TO RUN THE CAR OFF THE ROAD TO PREVENT HITTING THE BACK OF ANOTHER CAR.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY VEHICLE IS HAVE PROBLEM WITH OIL CONSUMPTION, EXHAUST FUMES COMING OUT OF THE HEATER AND A RATTLING NOISE. I TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP IN THE CAR MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT WORTH FIXING BECAUSE THE YEAR MAKE AND MODEL KEEPS GIVING PROBLEMS. HE SAID HE WORKED ON THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES IN EVERY 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. HE SAID IT'S NOT WORTH PUTTING THE MONEY INTO AND THAT THAT YEAR WAS A FAULTY CAR AND TO FIND OUT IF THERE WAS A RECALL BECAUSE OF THE NEGATIVE REPORTS. I LOOKED ONLINE NO RECALL SO I'M WONDERING WHY MULTIPLE VEHICLES ARE HAVING THE SAME SITUATION. HE SAID HE SPOKE WITH MY CAR DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON. AND JUST TODAY MY VEHICLE ENGINE STARTED SMOKING. I'M WORKING ON GETTING A PROBLEM.

I HAD MY FAMILY IN THE EQUINOX AND HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. I CALLED AAA TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP BY THE HOUSE. THEY DETERMINED THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD AND EITHER NEEDED A NEW ONE OR HAVE THE COMPUTER RE-FLASHED. THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO CAN RE-FLASH A TRANSMISSION MODULE COMPUTER IS A DEALERSHIP. BY NOW, I ALSO CALLED GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP. I HAD IT TOWED AGAIN FOR A SECOND TIME TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD AND NEEDED A NEW ONE. I STARTED THE REPAIR PROCESS SOON AFTER. I WANTED GENERAL MOTORS TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS BECAUSE I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW AND IT HAD 88,000 MILES ON IT. GM DID NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND I GOT STUCK WITH A $3800 BILL IN REPAIRS AND LABOR.

MY 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX HAS A REALLY BAD TICKING COMING FROM THE TIMING BELT AREA. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IDLING ROUGH AND ITS VERY LOUD DO TO THE TICKING COMING FROM SIDE OF ENGINE. IT SOUND LIKE A 30 YEAR OLD CAR AND ITS BEEN DOING IT SINCE 66,000 MILES

STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON THEN ENGINE POWER REDUCED AND VEHICLE DROPPED FROM 65 TO 25 MPH INSTANTLY DRIVING ON HIGHWAY

IN 2014 FAILED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST GOT WORK DONE ON ENGINE REPLACING PISTON AND ETC NOW I HAD (1/2018 ) VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF AT STOP SIGNS OR LIGHTS .TOOK VECHICLE TO PERSONAL MECHANIC IT WAS DOWN A QUART OR OIL BUT WASN'T DUE FOR ANOTHER OIL CHANGE TILL 109.000 MILES .CAR WAS AT 106,000 MILES AT THIS TIME. WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED AN UPPER FUEL PUMP,CAM SHAFT , TIMING CHAIN SET.AND PLUGS MISFIRED. AFTER CALLING GMC I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD NO WARRANTIES LEFT. SO I CALLED THE CHEVY CERTIFIED DEALER WHO PERFORM THE ENGINE WORK IN 2014 . I WAS TOLD THAT THEIR WARRANTY ONLY LAST FOR A YEAR AND THAT I HAVE SPECIAL COVERAGE STILL LEFT THAT MAY APLLY BUT WOULD HAVE TO BE INSPECTED BY THEIR SPECIALIST AND $100 FEE.NOW MIND YOU MY CAR WAS ALREADY BEING WORKED ON AT MY PRIVATE MECHANIC .AFTER PAYING $1375.00 FOR ALL THE ISSUES LISTED ABOVE MY CATALYST CONVERTER IS BAD. I BEEN HAVING ONGOING ENGINE ISSUES WITH THIS VECHICLE.

WITHOUT WARNING MY CHECK OIL PRESSURE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I HAD LESS THAN A BLOCK TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY BEFORE MY ENGINE FAILED. AFTER HAVING IT INSPECTED BY 3 DIFFERENT INSPECTORS, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY PCV VALVE FROZE AND CAUSED MY REAR MAIN SEAL TO LEAK ALL MY OIL VERY RAPIDLY. THIS IN TURN CAUSED MY ENGINE TO SEIZE. THIS PVC ISSUE IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. THIS IS SOMETHING GM NEEDS TO TAKE OWERSHIP OF AND CORRECT! THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD!

VEHICLE RUNNING ERRATIC,OIL LEAKS FROM REAR MAIN SEAL ,SERVICE BULLETIN 14882 ,PROBLEM CAUSED FROM PCV SYSTEM, VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION IN TRAFFIC

HAD TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER DUE TO OVER HEATING OF THE ENGINE/EXHAUST AS A RESULT OF THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION (SEPT 2017). STABILITRAK SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND REDUCTION OF ENGINE POWER AND SPEED WHILE DRIVING (JAN 2018).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE PCV FAILED AND CAUSED THE REAR SEAL TO BLOW OUT. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED. THE DEALER (PADDOCK CHEVROLET, 3232 DELAWARE AVE, KENMORE, NY 14217) STATED THAT THE REAR SEAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND WAS UNABLE TO ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000. *TT *TR

THROTTLE BODY ONE YEAR AFTER I HAVE THE CYCLONE RINGS REPLACE. THE ENGINE LOST POWER IN MIDDLE OF BUSY INTERSTATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, AN AUDIBLE TICKING NOISE WAS PRESENT FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER CLASSIC CHEVROLET (6877 CENTER ST, MENTOR, OH (440-602-6020) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT REAR OIL SEAL WAS BLOWN DUE TO MOISTURE IN THE PCV. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF DRIVING IN EXTREMELY LOW WEATHER TEMPERATURES FOR EXTENDED PERIODS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,500. *TT *TR

OIL CONSUMPTION - HAVE JUST RECEIVED THE WARNING OIL PRESSURE LOW - STOP ENGINE. COME TO FIND OUT IT IS ONLY COVERED BEFORE 120,000 MILES OR BY SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR. I RECEIVED NO NOTIFICATION OF THIS ISSUE. I HAVE DOCUMENTED ALL SERVICE CHARGES AND TIMING OF ADDITIONAL OIL USED. TALKED WITH GM AND THEY WILL NOT OFFER TO REIMBURSE FOR CHARGES INCURRED.

WHEN SEATING IN THE DRIVER SEAT TURN ON THE CAR MY AIR BAG WARREN COME ON EVEN WHEN I TURNING THE WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT IT COME ON AND I DID GET WARRANT CARD AND I CALL A CHEVY DEALER IN QUINCY FLA AND THEY SAID THEY DID IT STILL IT KEEP POPPING UP LET TALK ABOUT THAT OIL THAT I KEEP LOSING WITH IN 4WEEK BOUT THE OIL WHEN I GET A OIL CHARGE WHEN IN A 3 WEEK CHECKING MY CAGE AND CHECKING MY OIL STICK NOW I KNOW WHAT THE CAGE ON THE OIL STICK LEVEL SHOULD BE I HAVE A UNCLE THAT WORKS FOR CHEVROLET DEALER IN UPPER STATE THAT SHOW ME WHAT TO LOOK FOR NOW THIS DON'T MAKE SENSE SO

CHEVY PLACE WHERE I TAKE IT IN QUINCY FLORIDA SAID THEY CHECK IT QUOTE ? RIGHT! ) BUT HAD TO GOT AND PAID AT A MECHANICAL SHOP THAT CARE FOR THE SAFETY OF THERE CUSTOMER TO CHECK FOR ME AND THE SAID THIS NOT RIGHT PART FOR THIS SUV 2011 THAT WHY IT KEEP MAKING THEY NOISES AND DAMAGING THE SIDE OF MY BACK WINDOW CASE NOT THE RIGHT ARM FOR THE BACK WINDOW ARM PUTTING A MOTOR HIT HARD STRAIN. LET I SAID CHEVY IN QUINCY FLORIDA SAID THEY FIT BUT IT STILL DO IT

GM RECALL 11195A - POOR DRIVABILITY/ SAFETY/ EMISSIONS RECALL FOR CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR SOLENOIDS. MY 2.4L 2011 EQUINOX (APPROX. 47,000 AT PURCHASE 11/16 & 71,000 CURRENT) IS NOW AT DAYS CHEVROLET IN ACWORTH GA. DUE TO 1) SHUTTING OFF MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING, 2) STALLING AT IDLE (FWD & REV). I INITIALLY VISITED DAYS ON 12/22/17 TO START AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST RELATED TO 15285C, AS MY CAR PRESENTED WITH STALLING/HESITATION/SURGING AND LOSS OF 3 QTS OIL. AS OF TODAY (1/3/18), I RETURNED TO DAYS WHEN IT SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP'S DIAGNOSIS IS INTAKE & EXHAUST CAMSHAFT SOLENOID FAILURE. I SUSPECTED THIS BASED ON CODE P0010 RECORDED BY MY DIAGNOSTIC UNIT. SO I GOT A RENTAL, LEFT MY CAR FOR THE CAMSHAFT REPAIRS, AND RESEARCHED RECALLS. THE 2011 2.4L HAS MANY KNOWN ENGINE/POWERTRAIN/SAFETY ISSUES. LO AND BEHOLD, I FOUND THE RECALL ON THE CAMSHAFT DIAGNOSIS. IT READS EXACT TO WHAT I'M EXPERIENCING. MY NEXT STEP WAS CONTACTING DAYS TO ASK WHY I'M BEING CHARGED FOR A RECALLED REPAIR. I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WERE UNAWARE OF RECALL 11195A. MY SERVICE ADVISOR, ROB, LOOKED UP THE RECALL AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS IN FACT A RECALL FOR THE EXACT DIAGNOSIS, YET COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. HE ADVISED THAT THE CAR IS EXHIBITING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL IS ISSUED FOR AND THAT IT'S CLEARLY A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE, YET GM WILL NOT COVER MY REPAIR BECAUSE "THE VIN IS NOT INCLUDED". I VERY MUCH BELIEVE THIS IS GM'S RESPONSIBILITY AND GM SHOULD COVER THE REPAIR AT NO COST BECAUSE IT'S A RESULT OF THEIR FAULTY ENGINEERING. I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TONIGHT AND WAS TOLD THERE'S NOTHING GM CAN DO. I STRONGLY DISAGREE. GM CAN DO THE RIGHT THING. I REQUESTED A CASE BE OPENED AND WAS GIVEN #83734190593 AFTER PRESSING (PAUL) FOR ONE. IN THE END. GM WAS OF NO HELP AND MY VIN IS STILL IN LIMBO, SO I'M FILING MY COMPLAINT HERE.

ENGINE OIL IS BURNING BY PASSING THROUGH AND GOING OUT THE EXHAUST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. FRIENDLY CHEVROLET IN SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

GM 2.4 ECOTEC ENGINE PLUGGED PCV VALVE. VALVE WAS FOUND BY DEALER AS BEING FROZEN SHUT CAUSING THE CRANKCASE TO PRESSURIZE AND BLOW OUT THE READ CRANK SHAFT SEAL COSTING $1817 TO REPAIR. THIS IS NOT AN UNKNOWN PROBLEM FOR GM. OTHER MAKES AND MODELS OF A SEVERAL YEAR SPAN WITH THE ECOTEC 2.4 HAVE A SERVICE BULLETIN 14882 TO COVER TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. GM IS REFUSING TO COVER THIS ENGINE BECAUSE IT WASN'T PART OF THE "SPECIAL RECALL" ISSUED MARCH 2015. IT HAS BECOME APPARENT THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO COVER ALL THE ECOTEC 2.4 ENGINES. HAD THIS VEHICLE BEEN ON A HIGHWAY OR HEAVY TRAFFIC THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE BLOWN OR SEIZED DUE TO LACK OF OIL. THIS ECOTEC ENGINE HAS HAD MANY PROBLEMS RESULTING IN RECALLS. TIMING CHAINS PREMATURELY WEARING OUT TO PISTON RINGS WEARING AND CAUSING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE VEHICLE HAD JUST STARTED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM. AFTER A FRESH OIL CHANGE THE ENGINE PROMPTLY BLEW OUT OVER 4 QUARTS OF OIL IN LESS THAN 15 MILES. HAD I NOT CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION START POINT THE CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVEN UNTIL THE ENGINE SEIZED UP MORE THAN LIKELY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT..... WHICH BRINGS ME TO ANOTHER POINT. DO I NEED TO CONTACT THE EPA OVER THE OIL LEAKS ON COUNTLESS GM VEHICLES? UNDER MY ESTIMATE THIS SINGLE GM VEHICLE DUMPED APPROXIMATELY 2 GALLONS OF SYNTHETIC OIL TO THE ENVIRONMENT BEFORE THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED. HOW MANY THOUSANDS OF GALLONS ARE BEING DUMPED DUE TO GM REFUSAL TO OWN UP TO THEIR BAD DESIGN? I UNDERSTAND THIS WEBSITE MAY BE TO DEAL WITH MORE SAFETY CONCERNS BUT GM INSISTED I FILE A COMPLAINT WITH YOU..

THIS CAR HAS HAD MANY PROBLEMS & RECALLS BY GM. IN 2017 I HAVE REPLACED THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP X 2, CATALYTIC CONVERTER, TRANSMISSION, SVC TRACTION, ABS STABILITY TRACK, SERPENTINE BELT TENSIONER, STRUT MOUNTS, LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS, L & R REAR TRAIL ARM BUSHINGS, THROTTLE BODY. THE CAR IS BURNING OIL EXCESSIVELY AND I AM KEEPING RECORDS OF THIS AS THERE IS A RECALL/LAWSUIT PENDING ON THIS ISSUE CURRENTLY. I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY SO MUCH OF THESE ITEMS WERE REPAIRED UNDER THAT EXCEPT LABOR AND TAXES WHICH STILL IS EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF REPAIRS AND MONEY I SPENT ON A 6 YEAR OLD CAR. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY COULDN'T CARE LESS. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED.

THE VEHICLE HAS SUFFERED SEVERAL ENGINE FAILURE SINCE I PURCHASED IT. SEVERAL SENSORS AND MODULE HAVE GONE OUT, COSTS OF OVER $1500.00 TO DATE. FAULTY ELECTRICAL PANEL FAILED TO INDICATE THE VEHICLE WAS LOW ON OIL, AND OVERHEATING. THE OIL WAS CHANGED AND WITHIN A MONTH, THE OIL HAD DEPLETED FOR UNKNOWN REASONS. NONE OF THE INDICATOR LIGHTS SIGNALED AND THE ENGINE STOPPED WHILE DRIVING, THE MECHANIC SAID THE ENGINE FROZE UP AND IT IS A TOTAL LOSS. THE MECHANIC SAID THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD TWO QUARTS OF OIL BUT WAS NOT SIGNALING ANY OIL PROBLEMS AND IT SHOULD HAVE. THE SENSORS AND ELECTRIC PANEL WERE MALFUNCTIONING. THE DEALER NEVER DISCLOSED ANY RECALLS TO ME WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED. THE MECHANIC IS GETTING THE HISTORY TOGETHER OF WORK PERFORMED. I WILL UPLOAD AS I GET THEM.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS BAD AND THERE IS KNOCKING IN THE FUEL SYSTEM

WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY MAIN THOROUGHFARE DURING A RAINSTORM MY WINDSHILED WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. I QUICKLY CUT ON MY HAZARDS AND PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY DAUGHTER AND I COULD HEAR A MOTOR HUM WHEN I TURNED THE WIPERS ON BUT THEY NEVER MOVED. WE WERE STRANDED TO AN HOUR UNTIL THE STORM PASSED AND I COULD SEE TO DRIVE AGAIN. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL ACCIDENT HAD I NOT BEEN ABLE TO PULL OVER SO QUICKLY.

WHEN EXITING THE CAR ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, I WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. THE MOST RECENT TIME THAT MADE ME REALIZE THE SAFETY HAZARD AT HAND WAS MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2017. I PARKED AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF WHILE PUTTING MY COAT ON AND MY DAUGHTER BEGAN EXITING THE PASSENGER SIDE. AS I WENT TO TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL FORWARD. I PUSHED THE EMERGENCY BRAKES AND IT STOPPED. BECAUSE SHE WAS HOLDING ONTO THE DOOR, IT STARTLED MY DAUGHTER AND SHE WAS SHAKEN THINKING WE WERE GOING TO HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT PARKED OF US. I TURNED THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF, MOVED THE CAR FROM PARK TO NEUTRAL FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY.

3 COMPLAINTS CONTAINED WITHIN - COMPLAINT #1 - I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH CAM SHAFT ACTUATORS AND EXHAUST ISSUES IN THIS VEHICLE. THIS HAS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO STALL IN BUSY INTERSECTIONS AND TO ALSO GO INTO "LIMP" MODE ON THE INTERSTATE. GOING 70MPH AND THE ENGINE GOING INTO LIMP MODE IS DANGEROUS. THANKFULLY THERE WERE ALERT DRIVER AROUND ME THAT WERE ABLE TO HELP ME GET TO THE EMERGENCY LANES SAFELY. THERE WERE RECALLS FOR THIS VEHILCE FOR SOME OF THESE ISSUES - BUT CONVENIENTLY - MY VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED. THREE DIFFERENT GM/CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS HAVE WORKED ON MY VEHICLE AND HAVE CONTACTED GM ON MY BEHALF - BUT GM HAS COVERED NO FIXES AND I HAVE BEEN OUT OVER $2000 ON THESE FIXES THAT WERE COVERED UNDER RECALLS - BUT NOT ON MY VEHICLE. 2ND COMPLAINT - I NOW HAVE FUEL PUMP ISSUES. AGAIN, A RECALL WAS ISSUED IN JULY 2016 FOR FUEL PUMP ISSUES. THE RECALL IS FOR THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND ENGINE AS MINE....BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL.....EVEN MY VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT WHILE IDLING AT INTERSECTIONS AND AGAIN - SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE CHILDREN AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH THIS HAPPENING. GM SEEMS TO NOT BE CONCERNED. 3RD ISSUE - TAKATA RECALL - MY AIR BAG ALERT LIGHT WILL COME ON - BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE - YET AGAIN - MY VEHICLE SEEMS TO NOT BE ON THE LIST. SAFETY ISSUE - YES. I HAVE HAD AN OPEN CASE NUMBER WITH GM CORPORATE FOR AT LEAST 3 YEARS - BUT SUGGESTIONS ALWAYS SEEM TO BE ON MY DIME....NOT THEIRS. AT THIS POINT - MY VEHICLE IS A "LEMON" IN MY EYES...AND IF ME OR MY FAMILY GET INJURED BECAUSE OF THESE ISSUES...WELL.....

CHEVROLET EQUINOX 2011 USES EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. I HAVE TO ADD OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. I KEEP EXTRA OIL ON HAND ALWAYS. THE CAR MAKES RATTLING NOISE AT START UP AND JUST DOESN'T SOUND GOOD WHEN RUNNING. IT RUNS SLUGGISHLY. I WASN'T AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I ONLY HAD TO ADD OIL BETWEEN CHANGES TO MY PREVIOUS CAR WHEN IT WAS LEAKING ON THE GROUND. I WENT TO HAVE OIL CHANGED AND THERE WAS NONE ON THE DIPSTICK. I HAD NO IDEA. WHEN I ADD OIL THE RATTLING SEEMS TO GO AWAY FOR A WHILE. I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER CAR OR REPLACE THE MOTOR IF THE OIL CONSUMPTION CAUSES THE NEED FOR THAT.

ENGINE BALANCE CHAIN WEARS AND STRETCHES, WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT WOULD CAUSE THE CHAIN TO BREAK AND CAUSING FURTHER ENGINE DAMAGE.

WE HAVE OWNED A 2011 SINCE 2014 AND IN THE BEGINNING OF 2015 WE BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO A CHEVY DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. WE HAVE TO CHANGE OUR OIL BETWEEN 1, 000 AND 2,000 MILES AND CONSTANTLY CARRYING AROUND OIL "JUST IN CASE". IN AUGUST, 2017, WE STARTED TO EXPERIENCING THE STALLING AT STOP SIGNS AND RED LIGHTS, AND EVEN WHILE DRIVING. WHEN IDLING, THE CAR "BOUNCES".

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD AND THE CAR JERKED AND WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. I TRIED TO PUSH IT, BUT IT WOULD NOT GO. I SLOWED DOWN TO A STOP LIGHT AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GO. ONCE I MANAGED TO GET IT INTO A PARKING LOT, ALL GEARS TOTALLY LOCKED UP AND I COULD NOT EVEN GET IT IN NEUTRAL. THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP SAYS I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I ONLY HAVE 76K MILES ON THIS ONE BEFORE IT WENT UP.

2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAIN. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. *JS

EXTREME HARD DOWN SHIFT BETWEEN 35-45 MPH. DEALER SAYS "TRANSMISSION IS FRIED" "PLATES ARE CHARRED". THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR CAR. IT HAS HAD ALREADY 2-3 RECALLS & THIS TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS & THEY WILL NOT MAKE THIS A RECALL & THEY WILL NOT HELP PAY FOR REPAIR ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE HELPED OTHERS. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT DUE TO DRIVER ERROR BUT DUE TO FAILURE OF THE PART. DEALER IS CHARGING AN ARM/LEG TO FIX IT. GENERAL MOTORS CLEARLY DOES NOT CARE.

I HAVE A 2011 EQUINOX IT'S GOT 146,000 MILES . I AM FAITHFUL WITH OIL CHANGES AND LAST WEEK WHEN I WENT TO GET IT CHANGED I WAS TOLD MY ENGINE HAD NO OIL. MY OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD JUST TURNED ON THE DAY PRIOR. I WAS TOLD THERE WASN'T ANY LEAKS. SO AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FIND THERE IS A OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM, HOWEVER SINCE MY MILES ARE I'VE 120,000 I DON'T QUALIFY FOR THE REPAIR. THIS IS NOT RIGHT! MY CAR COULD HAVE BURNT UP BECAUSE MY LIGHT NEVER INDICATED A PROBLEM AND GM NEVER NOTIFIED ME OF HE ISSUES!

FOR THE LAST 5000 MILES, AT TIMES, WHEN IDLING AT A STOPLIGHT OR INTERSECTION, THE ENGINE JUMPS EVEN WITH THE FOOT ON THE BREAK. THIS IS FRIGHTENING IN THAT IT FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE MAY ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN AND HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OR GO INTO THE INTERSECTION.

I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2016 AND HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH IT SINCE THE 7TH DAY OF OWNING IT. ON DAY 7, I HAD THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED (AFTER THEY TRIED TO TELL ME I DIDN'T TIGHTEN THE GAS CAP). THEN AFTER ONLY OWNING THE VEHICLE FOR 4 MONTHS, I HAD TO HAVE A WHOLE NEW ENGINE BUILT (SO THEY SAY IT WAS) THIS WAS AFTER MY VEHICLE TURNED COMPLETELY OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHILE DRIVING WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. UP UNTIL THAT POINT EVERYTHING HAD BEEN FINE. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, WARNING OR ANYTHING. THE DEALERSHIP HAD MY VEHICLE FOR ALMOST 2 MONTHS BEFORE I FINALLY GOT IT BACK. THE DAY I GOT IT BACK, MY VEHICLE STARTED OVERHEATING AND MAKING A HORRIBLE NOISE. THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS MY RADIATOR AND THAT THEY REPLACED IT. EVERYTHING WAS OK AFTER THAT FOR A GOOD 3 WEEKS AND THEN AFTER THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND MY VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY TURN OFF. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION WHERE THEY HAVE FIXED THE SENSOR A COUPLE OF TIMES, BUT THEY SAID IT WAS MY ENGINE AND THAT THE DEALERSHIP NEVER FIXED IT PROPERLY. I CAN BELIEVE THAT TOO BECAUSE NONE OF MY SERVICE INFO IS ON THE CHEVY SITE AND THE SAME CODES SHOW UP THAT DID ORIGINALLY, THIS VEHICHLE IS A SAFETY HAZORD AND A MONEY PIT! WHEN WILL CHEVY BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON THE EQUINOX?

THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON UPON STARTING IT ONE MORNING , BUT HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR HAS A TOTAL OF 58,863 MILES ON IT. CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAPPENED!

AIRBAG LIGHT KEEP COMING ON. DEALER FIXED IT BUT IT KEEP COMING ON. COMES ON WHEN I AM STATIONARY AND DRIVING. IT ALWAYS READ SERVICE AIRBAG.

10-10-2017 - WHILE DRIVING HOME DURING A HEAVY RAINSTORM, WIPERS GOING FULL SPEED, WIPERS STOPPED WITH ONE WIPER GOING OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD, OTHER WIPER STOPPED IN MY DRIVING VIEW. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO GET PARKED, I LAID THE WIPER BLADES DOWN, TRIED THE GET THEM TO WORK BUT ONLY HEARD THE MOTOR RUN, WIPERS NOT MOVING. HAD THEM CHECKED OUT BY A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW WIPER TRANSMISSION. THIS ONE HAD A WORN OUT PART THAT WOULD CONTINUE TO POP OUT OF SOCKET IF USED. I'VE READ OF OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPENING. GM NEEDS TO MAKE THIS A RECALL. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT HAPPENS. GM WIPER MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION IS ROUGHLY $150.00 AT THE DEALERSHIP PLUS THEIR LABOR COST. THIS SHOULD NOT WEAR OUT SO SOON ON A 2011 MODEL.

ENGINE STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING AND ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT. TIMING CHAIN SLIPPED AND RUINED MY ENTIRE ENGINE, NO WARNINGS, NO SIGNALS OR NONE OF ANY KIND. READING ALOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM AND THERE SHOULD OF BEEN A RECALL ON THIS 2.4L ENGINE FROM GM A LONG TIME AGO! MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AND UP TO DATE SINCE CAR WAS FIRST DRIVEN OFF LOT.

THE WINDSHIELD PIPER CAME LOOSE AND SLAMMED AGAINST MY WINDOW

MOTOR ON 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX BLEW UP. DEALER STATED THAT WHEN THEY PULLED THE OIL PAN THEY FOUND PISTON, ROD AND RINGS. QUOTED IT WOULD BE >$9,000 TO REPAIR FOR THE MOTOR, GASKETS AND CAT. CONVERTOR. ASKED IF THIS WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. STATED IT WASN'T. I QUESTIONED ABOUT THE PISTONS BEING REPLACED LAST YEAR. HE STATED THAT IT WAS 1.5YR AND 27,000 MILES AGO. HE SAID THAT THERE WAS NO COVERAGE. I ASKED WHY WOULD THESE GO BAG WITH ONLY 27,000 MILES ON THE REPAIR ON ONLY 116,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. HE SAID DUE TO OIL. THE DEALER HAS COMPLETED ALL OIL CHANGES THE LAST 2-3 YEARS AS LEAST AFTER STARTING TO HAVE ALL THE ISSUES WITH OIL CONSUMPTION AND OTHER PROBLEMS. ALL OIL CHANGES HAVE BEEN COMPLETED BASED ON OIL USAGE PROMPTED BY CAR. IT SEEMS THAT THE ISSUE IS CAUSED BY THE OIL CONSUMPTION AND HAS JUST TAKEN TIME FOR THE RODS/CRANK TO GIVE WAY. CHEVY SHOULD ISSUE RECALL FOR REPLACEMENT OF WHOLE ENGINE NOT JUST THE PISTONS. IF PISTONS ARE FAULTY DUE TO LACK OF OIL THERE ARE MORE ISSUES UNDERLYING.

MY 2011 EQUINOX HAS EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE PROBLEMS SINCE WE PURCHASED IT BEGINNING WITH THE OIL LIFE MONITORING SYSTEM, WHICH GM ACKNOWLEDGED, THROUGH A DANGEROUS FAILURE OF THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM IN 2014 WHILE IN MOTION ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS (POSTED TO NHSTA), RESULTING IN AN ENGINE REBUILD IN 2016, WHICH GM TOOK RESPONSIBILITY FOR. UNFORTUNATELY, THE INITIAL PROBLEMS OCCURRED BEYOND THE LEMON CAR LIMIT IN OUR STATE AND CONTINUE TODAY. IN SEPTEMBER 2017 I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A CHEVY DEALER AFTER NOTICING SIGNIFICANT EXHAUST FUMES IN THE CABIN PARTICULARLY WHILE STATIONARY DURING START UP. IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A CRACKED MANIFOLD. THE MANIFOLD HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED IN JANUARY OF 2016 AS PART OF AN ENGINE REBUILD AT GM'S EXPENSE. THIS WOULD THEREFORE BE THE THIRD MANIFOLD IN THIS VEHICLE IN ONLY SIX YEARS. BOTH THE DEALER AND I FILED WITH GM CUSTOMER CARE TO REQUEST COVERAGE FOR THE MANIFOLD REPLACEMENT. I HAVE NOT YET HEARD BACK BUT REMAIN HOPEFUL THAT GM WILL ONCE AGAIN STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

STALLING OUT WHILE SITTING IN DRIVE AT RED LIGHT. GOT UP FOR WORK AND TURNED TRUCK ON, SOUNDED VERY ROUGH. PUT TRUCK IN REVERSE AND TOOK OFF AND WHEN STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT THE RPMS WOULD MOVE ON THEIR OWN, CAR STARTS BOUNCING, MOTOR IS RATTLING, AND SOMETIMES STALLS OUT. I HAVE TO PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AT EVERY LIGHT FOR IT TO NOT ROCK BACK AND FOURTH. NEXT DAY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME OUT, READINGS INDICATED IT WAS THE THROTTLE SENSOR BODY AND THE SOLENOIDS. I REPLACED ALL OF THESE AND TRUCK IS STILL RUNNING THE SAME, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I HAVE READ WELL OVER 50 OF THE SAME COMPLAINT OF THESE VEHICLES DOING THE SAME THING! WE NEED HELP!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 10 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT FAILED TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD BEFORE THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE ABS SYSTEM FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. DALE EARNHARDT, JR. CHEVROLET LOCATED AT: 3127 W TENNESSEE ST, TALLAHASSEE, FL 32304, (850) 270-1463, WAS CONTACTED AND NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

ROUGH/LOUD IDLE WITH METAL SHAVINGS IN OIL. SOMETIMES ROUGH START UP.

REDUCED ENGINE POWER /STABILI TRAK LIGHT COMES ON WHEN MY VEHICLE IS IDLE OR STOPPED AT A LIGHT . IT SOMETIMES SHUTS OFF BUT CRANKS BACK UP WHILE IM SITTING AT A LIGHT. USUALLY WHEN ON DRIVING ON 95 THE LIGHT DOESNT COME ON EXCEPT FOR THIS MORNING THE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS ON 95 WHEN I WAS UNDER 60 MILES I HAD TO PULL OVER FOR A FEW MINUTES SO THE INDICATION LIGHT GOES OFF, MY CAR WILL EVENTUALLY LOOSE POWER IF THE LIGHT IS ON AND I TRY TO TRY IT .. IF THE LIGHT IS OFF I CAN DRIVE SO I HAVE TO TURN CAR OFF AND SIT FOR AWHILE BEFORE I CAN RESUME DRIVING.

#43180: VOLUNTARY PRODUCT EMISSION RECALL ' HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP ' (SEP 30, 2016) CAR STALLS AFTER IDLING WHEN PULLING OUT OF PARKING LOT OR IN A SLOW START UP OR TRANSITIONING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER AND MANEUVERABILITY. THE ENGINE MOUNTED HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP IN THESE VEHICLES MAY DEVELOP EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE PLUNGER PISTON SHAFT AND SHAFT SEAL. IF THIS HAPPENS FUEL CAN LEAK INTO THE ENGINE OIL CRANKCASE AND RESULT IN THE ENGINE RUNNING ROUGH AND ILLUMINATION OF THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR PAST SEVERAL YEARS.

PURCHASED 2011 EQUINOX NEW IN AUGUST 2011 AND ALL MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED EITHER ON TIME OR AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH - EQUINOX SHUDDERED AND STALLED OUT. RESTARTED AND HAD IT CHECKED AT DEALER BUT NO ENGINE CODES COULD BE FOUND. ABOUT SIX WEEKS LATER ON AUGUST 30TH CAR CUT OUT AT A RED LIGHT, RESTARTED - CAR CUT OUT WHEN I SLOWED TO MAKE A TURN, RESTARTED - CAR CUT OUT WHEN I WAS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT. CALLED AND GOT AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP. RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE MECHANIC ON AUGUST 31ST TELLING US THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1600.00. MY 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX ONLY HAS 52000 MILES ON IT, SHAME ON YOU GM - A TIMING CHAIN SHOULD NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE AND WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY SINCE YOU ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE WITH THESE TIMING CHAINS.

AFTER DRIVING A COUPLE OF HOURS ON FREEWAY I TURNED ONTO GRATIOT AVE, SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE LOST FORWARD MOTION POWER. I WAS VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE I HAD A 2 MONTH OLD INFANT IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE ALSO LOST REVERSE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE 3RD/5TH/REVERSE CLUTCH WAVE PLATE HAD FAILED AND I WOULD NEED A REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION. I INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP THAT THESE CLUTCH WAVE PLATES HAVE HIGH FAILURE RATES GOING BACK TO 2007 AND GM SHOULD REPAIR THE VEHICLE AT THEIR COST. I AM AWAITING THEIR DECISION. ONLY 74,000 MILES ON VEHICLE.

DRIVING IN A BAD RAINSTORM THE WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WAS NESS. TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO WAIT OUT THE STORM.HAD TO REPLACE THE WIPER ASM. BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION ARM POPPED OFF OF THE MOTOR.BAD DESIGN GM. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED!

DEALER LOOKED AT IT, IT USES OIL THEY SAY THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH STRETCHED TIMING CHAINS AND PISTON RINGS, WHICH COMPANY HAS ADMITTED THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH. BRANDED TITLE IS STOPPING THE FIXING OF PROBLEM. ONLY ISSUE TO MAKE TITLE BRANDED WAS BUMPER AND AC UNIT ISSUES(HAD TO DO WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY IN THE STATE IT HAPPENED IN). THERE WASN'T ANY DAMAGE TO ENGINE / MOTOR. GM WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCT LIKE THEY CLAIM. THEY ALREADY ISSUED THIS POLICY #15285, THEY SHOULD HONOR THE FIX!! - REGARDLESS! VEHICLE IS 2011 WITH ONLY 67,000 MILES. CALLED GM CUS. SUPPORT, AS TOLD BY DEALER,THEY COULDN'T HELP. REPORT # 8-3169085035

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO H & K CHEVY BUICK (200 S MAIN ST, CONTINENTAL, OH 45831) WHERE THE OIL WAS CHECKED. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE MOTOR WAS LOSING OIL AND THE CHAINS AND PISTONS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED DUE TO A BRANDED TITLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

LATELY EVERY TIME I HAVE BEEN TURNING ON MY VEHICLE AND GOING IN DRIVE OR REVERSE IT STALLS ON ME AND I BOUGHT MY CAR THE END OF MAY 2017 AND ITS ONLY AUGUST 2017 FROM A CERTIFIED CHEVY DEALERSHIP.

OUR DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HOME BETWEEN MEMPHIS, TN AND NASHVILLE, TN, DURING A THUNDERSTORM. HER WIPERS AT FULL BLAST, WENT TO THE LEFT AND STOPPED! ALL SHE COULD DO IS PULL OVER AND WAIT UNTIL, THE STORM PASSED. AS PARENTS, LAST THING YOU WANT TO HEAR IS YOUR 25 YEAR DAUGHTER IS SITTING ON THE SIDE OF I40 AT NIGHT UNABLE TO TRAVEL AND WE LIVE 8 HOURS AWAY! THE NEXT MORNING SHE CHECKED THE WIPERS, NOPE, NA-DA. SAID SHE CAN HEAR THE MOTOR HUMMING, BUT NOTHING IS WORKING. EVERYONE NEAR HER WANTS 350.00 + TO REPLACE IT.... THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY FOR A GRADUATE STUDENT! SEEMS TO BE A REOCCURRING PROBLEM GM, YOU NEED TO DO THE RIGHT THING!

JUNE 9, 2017 AT 10:00 PM I HIT A DEER ON SOUTH DAKOTA HWY 11 IN LINCOLN COUNTY. THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 65 MPH AND I WAS GOING 68 MPH WHEN I HIT THE DEER HEAD ON. I DROVE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED. AFTER A FEW MINUTES MY WIFE AND I SMELLED BURNING ELECTRICAL WIRE. WE GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND STARTED TO WALK AWAY AND WITHIN 10 MINUTES THE WHOLE THING WENT UP IN FLAMES. THE CAR WAS TOTALED AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF. IF WE WOULD HAVE WENT IN THE DITCH AND BEEN UNCONSCIOUS WE WOULD HAVE BURNT UP WITH THE VEHICLE. THERE IS NO REASON THAT VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE STARTED ON FIRE. GMC WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE POWER STEERING WOULD INTERMITTENTLY STOP WORKING, THIS WOULD HAPPEN DURING HIGHER SPEEDS ON HIGHWAYS AS WELL AS SLOWER SPEEDS IN NEIGHBORHOODS. THE POWER STEERING WOULD CEASE AND AN INDICATOR WOULD COME ON THE DASHBOARD TO SERVICE THE POWER STEERING. AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND SAT FOR A FEW MINUTES, THE POWER STEERING WOULD RESUME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING OR BEING DRIVEN AT A LOW SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT HAD TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK IN ORDER FOR IT TO RESTART. WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE DEALER (JIM TRENARY CHEVROLET, 501 AUTO MALL DR, O'FALLON, MO 63368 (636) 946-6300) WHERE AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,621.

LESS THAN 60,000 MILES AND IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND POWER WAS REDUCED. CAR IDLES VERY ROUGH, AND SOMEWHAT LOUD. I LIKEN IT TO A SCHOOL BUS. LUCKILY I WAS LESS THAN 5 MILES FROM HOME AND DID ARRIVE SAFELY. CAR WAS LOOKED AT BY TWO DIFFERENT MECHANIC SHOPS AND BOTH HAVE THE SAME DIAGNOSIS: TIMING BELT/CHAIN JUMPED AND NOW NEEDS A NEW ENGINE.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR EXCESS OIL CONSUMPTION. I SURPASS PARIMETERS FOR REPAIR. DEALER INSISTS THAT I KEEP GOING IN FOR TESTING WELL BEYOND WHAT CHEVY HAS SET AS THE STANDARD. CHEVY IS NOT PROVIDING RESULTS. VEHICLE IS STILL NOT FIXED. VEHICLE WHINES AND HAS LOSS OF POWER. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I ,THANKFUL, WAS ON A QUIET RESIDENTIAL STREET. THE RECALL STATES OIL CONSUMPTION OF A QUART OR MORE AT 2000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN GOING IN EVERY 1000 MILES. I HAVE ATTACHED A COPY OF THE DEALER RECORD OF OIL LEVELS. I AM GOING ON THE 4000 MILE MARK WITH NO FIX BY CHEVY IN FUTURE. THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX.

HELLO, THE VEHICLE IS UNDER 60,000 MILES. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT. AFTER DIAGNOSIS, IT WAS REPORTED THE CAR BURNED OIL AND CAUSED OIL SLUDGE. MANY REPORTS ARE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, INCLUDING THE PISTONS AND RINGS. THE COST OF THE JOB IS BETWEEN $4500 - 6000. GM WILL NOT REPAIR THE CAR UNDER THE BULLETIN, 15285C. APPARENTLY, THE CAR VIN IS COVERED; HOWEVER, GM WILL NOT REPAIR BECAUSE I CAN'T PROOF CHANGING OIL EVERY 5,000 MILES. I DO HAVE SERVICE PROVIDER RECEIPTS DATING BACK TO 2012. I COULDN'T PROOF CHANGING THE OIL MYSELF. I HAVE COMPLETED THIS TASKS IN ADDITION TO THE SERVICE SHOP. GM REPORTED THE CAR TO BURN OIL EXCESSIVELY AT 2,000 MILES. I WASN'T AWARE OF THIS UNTIL 2016, FIVE YEARS AFTER TIME OF PURCHASE. I'M DISAPPOINTED WITH GM NOT BACKING THEIR PRODUCT. THE CAR HAS THE FOLLOWING ISSUES DUE TO THIS RECALL. -LUNGES AT IDLE -STOPS AT IDLE -SOUNDS LIKE A TICKING TIME BOMB I HAVE ALREADY INVESTED $1200 IN THE ENGINE FIXING THE TIMING CHAIN AND WATER PUMP. ATTACHED IS A CONVERSATION SAVED WITH GM SUPPORT. THANKS, CHAD

AFTER LIFTING THE AUTOMATIC LIFTGATE WITH THE KEY FOB IT WENT UP AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT FELL ALMOST HITTING MY HUSBAND . DATES ARE NOT APPROXIMATE . WE GOT THE RIGHT SIDE FIXED AND WAS TOLD THE LEFT SIDE NEEDS FIXED ALSO IS THIS A RECALLED ITEM

THIS VEHICLE STALLED IN TRAFFIC. AFTER 3 STALLS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE TROUBLE WAS THE TIMING CHAIN AFTER ONLY 50K MILES. COST WAS $1680. I FEEL THIS WAS DANGEROUS AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CHARGED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING ACTIVATED, FUMES ENTERED THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL KNOCKING NOISE PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT OFFER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,382.

I KEEP HAVING ISSUES WITH THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR. CONTINUES TO SAY STABILITY TRACT, TRACTION CONTROL, ABS OFF. ISSUES WITH WHEEL SPEED SENSOR.

THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING AND THE SERVICE POWER STEERING MESSAGE APPEARS INTERMITTENTLY. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THERE IS A BUMP, HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME. POWER STEERING WILL BEGIN WORKING AGAIN AFTER THE CAR IS TURNED OFF FOR SEVERAL MINUTES.

THE WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING UNDER A TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR AND COULDN'T SEE A THING. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE BUT ONLY IN CANADA.

THE TIMING CHAIN ON OUR EQUINOX BROKE AND DAMAGED THE ENGINE. GM SAYS OUR VIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE NHTSA REFERENCE #10053269 AND TSB REFERENCE #SB-12313. OUR SHOP SAID THE DAMAGE IS EXACTLY WHAT IS COVERED UNDER THOSE DOCUMENTS, BUT NO PROTECTION DUE TO VIN OUTSIDE OF RANGE. THE VEHICLE STARTED SHOWING PROBLEMS WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM ERROR. PARKED THE VEHICLE AND TURNED IT OFF. WHEN TRIED TO START AGAIN, THE VEHICLE DID NOTHING. HAD TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP FOR DAMAGE ASSESSMENT.

I WAS DRIVING HOME AFTER WORK. THE TRANSMISSION DIDN'T SHIFT WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE, THEN JERKED INTO GEAR, DID IT AGAIN THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY AND THEN HAD IT TOWED TO MY NEAREST CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WITH WIPERS ON. WIPERS SUDDENLY WHIPPED TO THE LEFT AND STOPPED. WIPER MOTOR RUNS BUT WIPERS DO NOT OPERATE. ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT.

WAS DRIVING AT 25MPH WHEN SERVICE STABILE TRACK LIGHT CAME ON, WITHIN 5 SECONDS ENGINE POWERING DOWN LIGHT CAME ON, COULDN'T RESTART VEHICLE , VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CHEVY DEALER WHERE DIAGNOSIS OF TIMING CHAIN SLIPPING OR BREAKING WAS DISCOVERED. AT FIRST DEALER WANTED $8800 FOR ENGINE ,THEN $6700, THEN SETTLED ON $5400. ORIGINAL ENGINE HAD 92,000 MILES WHEN THIS OCCURRED. ENGINE HAD REGULAR OIL CHANGES FROM OIL CHANGE SHOPS. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF I WAS DRIVING 60 MPH OR HIGHER AND ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON A BUSY HIGHWAY THAT FAST WOULDN'T THAT POTENTIALLY BE A CAUSE OF A MAJOR MULTIPLE CAR COLLISION WITH SEVERE INJURIES OR EVEN FATALITIES? I THINK THE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO HELP AS MUCH AS THEY COULD BUT GM AS A WHOLE COULD HAVE DONE BETTER MONETARILY IN HELPING ME FOR A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM. AND AS STATED , SHOULDN'T THIS BE A RECALL?
