THE ROOF OF MY 2016 CHEVROLET EQUINOX THE CLEAR COAT HAS STARTED TO BUBBLE AND LIFT IN BLOTCHES. THIS CAR IS THE TITANIUM COLOR (DARK GREY METALLIC) I'VE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF MY CAR. THIS IS MY FIRST GM VEHICLE THAT I'VE EVER PURCHASED NEW. MY CAR IS UNDER COVER IN A CAR PORT. THE VIN# INDICATES IT WAS BUILT IN CANADA. I BELIEVE GM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PAINT DETERIORATING ON A 5 YEAR OLD CARIN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

THERE IS DOCUMENTED HISTORY WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM THESE VEHICLES HAVE HAD. I AM JUST ONE MORE PERSON FILING THIS. I DO BELIEVE THERE IS A RISK OF INJURY IF THE VEHICLE FAILS WHILE DRIVING. I ALSO BELIEVE, HOWEVER, THAT THE ONLY WAY FOR THE MASSES OF INDIVIDUALS AFFECTED BY THE FUNDAMENTAL ENGINE ISSUE TO HAVE ANY RECOURSE IS TO HAVE A RECALL ISSUED.

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

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THIS OCCURRED TWICE NOW. FIRST ON MARCH 24TH 2021, AND SECOND ON MAY 5TH, 2021. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE RAIN BOTH TIMES, AND THE WIPERS STOPPED AT THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD WHEN I PUT THEM ON THEIR HIGHEST SPEED. I WAS TRAVELLING AT 65MPH BOTH TIMES, LUCKILY AWAY FROM CARS, SO I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS. THE WIPER TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED ON MARCH 27TH, AND I AM IN THE PROCESS OF TAKING IT BACK TO THE SHOP TODAY. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE WIPER MOTOR APPEARED TO RUN WHEN THE STICK WAS LIFTED TO ACTIVATE THE WIPERS, SO IT WAS NOT A MOTOR ISSUE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 65 MILES PER HOUR. IT WAS POURING DOWN RAIN AND THERE WERE SEMI TRUCKS IN FRONT OF ME AND TO THE LEFT OF ME SPRAYING WATER. THERE WAS ALSO A SEMI BEHIND ME. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS LITERALLY STOPPED WORKING. AFTER A NANOSECOND OF PANIC, I TURNED MY FLASHERS ON AND PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE. I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING. AFTER CONSIDERING FOR A FEW SECONDS, I DECIDED IT WAS NOT SAFE WHERE I WAS, SO I SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY DROVE SEVERAL MILES ON THE SHOULDER TO MAKE MY WAY TO THE NEXT EXIT. I THEN PULLED INTO A BUSINESS LOT. MY WIPERS WERE STOPPED ON MY WINDSHIELD.....THE LEFT ONE WAS PARTIALLY OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. I PICKED IT UP AND PLACED IT BACK TOWARD THE CENTER OF WINDSHIELD. BACK INSIDE THE CAR, I TRIED TO TURN THE WIPERS ON AGAIN. I COULD HEAR MECHANICAL NOISE THAT SOUND LIKE THEY SHOULD WORK, BUT THEY DID NOT MOVE. THE CAR IS NOW AT A DEALER FOR SERVICE.

MY VEHICLE IS BURNING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL AND NO OIL LIGHT COMES ON TO LET ME KNOW MY OIL IS LOW. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING BECAUSE I HAD NO OIL.I HAD TO PUT OIL IN MY CAR 3 TIMES WITHIN 3,000 MILES BECAUSE IT WAS ALMOST EMPTY. HAD TO HAVE NEW CONVERTER PUT ON DUE TO CONSUMING SO MUCH OIL. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THE SPECIAL WARRANTY TO CHANGE PISTON RINGS UNTIL MY SPECIAL WARRANTY EXPIRED. I ALSO HAD THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE AND GM IS DOING NOTHING TO HELP FIX MY VEHICLE.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM A DEALERSHIP IN LEXINGTON KY 6K AND UNDER. I HAD TO CHANGE THE BREAKS AND I WAS UNABLE TO JACK THE CAR UP. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE AUTO SHOP THE FRAME AND ROCKER PANELS ARE RUSTED OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS MADE IN CANADA AND I SEEN THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE FRAME IS WEAK. WHAT SHOULD I DO AND IS THE RECALL STILL VALID?
