ENGINE
I HAVE BEEN HAVING MAJOR OVERHEATING IN MY VVEHICAL. I HAVE ONLY BEEN USING IT FOR SHORT DISTANCES DUE TO THE ISSUE BUT NOW HAVE BEEN LETTING IT SIT STILL AFTER READING THAT THE 2005 EQUINOX HAD HEAD GASKET PROBLEMS BEFORE. AND AFTER A UNCLE JUST LOOKING IT OVER I BELIEVE THAT IS WHAT'S WRONG. THERE IS OIL UP IN MY ANTIFREEZE AND RUNNING HORRIBLE. I LIKE TO SEE IF THERE WAS EVER A RECALL ON THIS AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT IF SO

AIR BAGS
I WAS HIT BY A CHEVROLET AVALANCHE ON MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND FRONT/SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 60 AND THE ROADS WERE ICY AND SNOWY. I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35MPH AND THE OTHER VEHICLE MUST HAVE BEEN GOING AT LEAST 55-60MPH. THE POLICE REPORT STATED THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS DRIVING TOO FAST FOR ROAD CONDITIONS. MY SIDE AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY AND I SUFFERED A CONCUSSION AND HAVE ADDITIONAL INJURIES DUE TO THE IMPACT. DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE ACCIDENT AND LOCATION OF THE IMPACT I FEEL MY AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. SO FAR THE ESTIMATE ON MY VEHICLE DAMAGES IS ANYWHERE FROM 10-15K.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY, SEAT BELTS
ON DEC 31, 2020 I STRUCK A DEER ON A COUNTY RD GOING APPROX 45MPH. THE IMPACT WAS SO HARD THE DRIVE TRAIN WAS SHOVED INTO THE CAR AND THE RADIATOR EXPLODED AND THE ENTIRE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WAS DESTROYED. NEITHER PASS. NOR DRIVERS SIDE DOORS WOULD OPEN. THE CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS YET THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE VEHICLE BUT YOU COULD SEE A WHITE POWDERY SMOKE AND IT SMELL AS IF THEY DID AND THE CAR NOW SAYS SERVICE AIRBAGS. ALSO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT NEVER RETRACTED BACK AND MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE BOTH INJURED AS I WAS SLAMMED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL SUFFERING DAMAGE TO MY CHEST AND FACE AND HER HEAD/ FACE BOUNCED OFF THE DASH DUE TO THE AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING AND THE SEATBELTS NOT WORKING. WE ARE LUCKY WE WEREN'T KILLED AS THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE, ENGINE INCLUDED WAS PUSHED TO THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. WE WERE GOING TO LOOK INTO GETTING US ANOTHER EQUINOX AS I HAD JUST HAD THIS ONE FOR ABOUT SEVEN MONTHS BUT I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT BUT AFTER READING ALL THESE REPORTS THAT ARE IDENTICAL TO OURS AS FAR AS SEATBELTS AND AIRBAGS GO AND REALIZING THIS IS A VERY COMMON THING WITH 2015 EQUINOX AND AFTER THIS HAPPENING TO US IT'S OBVIOUS THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE OR AT LEAST NOT SAFE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BUT YET THAT HASN'T HAPPENED. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF REPORTS EXACTLY LIKE THIS ONE. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN CHEVY FOR LETTING THIS CONTINUALLY HAPPEN WITH NO RECALL OR WARNING TO YOUR CUSTOMERS. . A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED ON THIS AND INJURIES DID OCCUR. THE POLICE OFFICER AND THE WRECKER DRIVER SAID THEY'VE NEVER SEEN A DEER DO SO MUCH DAMAGE TO A VEHICLE BEFORE AND THE OFFICER COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ON US AND SAID THAT WE MOST DEFINITELY NEED TO CHECK INTO IT BECAUSE HE WOULD ASSUME THAT THEY WERE RECALLED BUT HERE WE ARE AND THEY'RE NOT.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES FOR A COUPLE WEEKS WITH ROUGH IDLE AND MY RPMS REVING WHEN I LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL. ON 12/26/20, MY VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING IT. UPON RESTARTING IT, IT WAS MAKING A LOUD NOISE, BUT NO DASH LIGHTS WERE ON. I HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE SHOP INFORMED ME THAT IT HAD LOST ALL OF THE OIL DUE TO A BUSTED MAIN SEAL. HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAD A BULLETIN THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM IN MY VEHICLE. THE SEAL IS BUSTED BECAUSE THE DESIGN OF MY CAR ALLOWS MOISTURE INTO THE MANIFOLD WHICH THEN FREEZES AND BUSTS THE SEAL. IT IS COSTING ME $1500 TO FIX THE SEAL AND CLEAN THE MOISTURE FROM FROM THE MANIFOLD. I AM TOLD THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. I AM VERY SCARED THAT I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I HAVE TALK TO CHEVY, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED.

AS VISIBILITY DECREASED MY 17-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER HAD TO PULL OVER AND CALL FOR ASSISTANCE. SHE COULD NO LONGER SEE OUT THE DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD.

ENGINE
MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY ENGINE STOPPED WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS OR NOTIFICATIONS. WE WERE ABLE TO SAFELY COAST FROM THE LEFT LANE TO THE SHOULDER. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A NEARBY DEALERSHIP. WHEN THEY INSPECTED MY CAR THEY SAID THERE WAS NO OIL IN IN THE ENGINE AND THAT THE CRANK WAS LOCKED UP. I WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. MY CAR HAS ABOUT 134,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS BRAND NEW WHEN I BOUGHT IT.

I BOUGHT MY 2013 CHEVY EQUINOX IN JULY OF 2019, ABOUT A MONTH AFTER BUYING IT MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE OIL AND THE OIL WASNT EVEN ON THE DIPSTICK. AFTER THAT WE KEPT AN EYE ON IT AND EVERY WEEK WE HAVE TO PUT AT LEAST A QUART OF OIL IN THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE BROUGHT IT TO OUR SHOP AND HAVE DETERMINED THAT THERE IS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AT THE 100,000 MILE MARK.

POWER TRAIN
THE CAR STARTED GOING INTO AUTO STOP AND WOULD NOT GO FORWARD ONE THE BRAKE WAS RELEASED ON THE HIGHWAY OR AT STOP SIGNS. THIS CAUSED US TO ALMOST HAVE A WRECK BECAUSE THE CAR WOULDN'T GO WHEN IT NEEDED TO WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO A ROAD WHEN IT WAS CLEAR TO GO. IT CREATED A TIME LAG THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.WE ALSO ALMOST ROLLED INTO THE CAR BEHIND US WHILE STOPED AT AN INTERSECTION ON A HILL THAT ENTERED A HIGHWAY. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE FIRST TIME THEY CHARGED US FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND ONLY CLEARED THE CODE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IMMEDIATELY WHEN WE PICKED IT UP. THEN THEY CHANGED A SENSOR, AND WE HAD TO BRING IT BACK. THEN THEY REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION. WE HAVE TO BRING IT BACK THE SAME DAY. THEN THEY REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER. WE JUST PICKED IT UP TODAY.

ENGINE
THE CAR STOPPED WHILE DRIVING AND TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC SHOP WHO DIAGNOSED THE REASON DUE TO A BROKE CHAIN AND THIS CAR HAS FREQUENT OIL CHANGES EVERY 3000 MILES AND THERE WAS NO INDICATION OR EVEN WARNING SIGNS PRIOR NOW THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT APPEARS TO HAVE THESE SAME ISSUES SEVERAL YEARS BACK AND THERE WERE RECALL AND I BELIEVE THAT MY CAR IS ALSO PART OF THIS SAME PROBLEM AND I NEED TO KNOW IF MY VEHICLE CAN GET FIXED UNDER THE RECALL POLICY.

ENGINE
WE LIVE IN MN AND WENT OUT TO START OUR 2.4 EQUINOX AND IT STARTED AND THEN DIED. THIS WAS SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY AND WAS IN PARK WHEN IT HAPPENED. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT THERE WAS A PCV FREEZE UP WHICH CAUSED THE MAIN SEAL TO BLOW LOOSING THE OIL. THIS CAUSED THE TIMING CHAIN TO FAIL. WE REACHED OUT TO GM AND THEY STATED THIS IS OUT OF WARRANTEE AND THAT 2017 WHERE NOT EFFECTED EVEN THOU IT IS THE SAME MOTOR AS THE OTHERS THAT ARE AFFECTED. WE REACHED OUT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING THAT BECAUSE THE CAR HAS 80,000 MILES WE ARE OUT OF THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTEE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN WE BOUGHT THE 2020 EQUINOX ON JANUARY 20, 2020 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEY KEPT IT 2 DAYS DIAGNOSING IT AND IT SAID A FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD US THAT THEY CONTACTED GM ENGINEERS WHO WERE LOOKING INTO IT AND TO GO AHEAD AND DRIVE IT WITH THE LIGHT ON TILL THEY GOT BACK WITH US. IT HAS CONTINUED TO STAY ON I HAD THE CODE READ AGAIN AND IT IS A P2365 FUEL PUMP A LOW FLOW/PERFORMANCE CODE. I DO NOT LIKE DRIVING IT WITH THE LIGHT ON, THE DEALERSHIP TELLING ME TO, NOT HEARING ANYTHING BACK FROM THEM, THE REMOTE START WILL NOT WORK WITH THE LIGHT ON WHICH IS A MAIN REASON WE BOUGHT IT.
