FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2012 CHEVY EQUINOX WITH 54,000 MI ON IT SUDDENLY BEGINS TO STALL ON RESTARTS. STALLS AT STOP LIGHTS AND WHEN CAR IS MOVING SLOWLY. VERY, VERY DANGEROUS. HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR A FEW MONTHS AND I'M DEVASTATED. MECHANIC CHECKED AND NO CODES SHOWING, NO OTHER PROBLEMS EXCEPT THE STALLING. AFTER RESEARCH ONLINE IT SHOWS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE CHEVY EQUINOX. YET THERE IS NO RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHY?

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS DRIVING ALONG A HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH IN THE RAIN AND WIPERS STOPPED ABRUPTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF MY WINDSHIELD. I PULLED OVER AS SOON AS I COULD AS I COULD NOT SEE WHERE I WAS GOING. I CHECKED THE WIPERS AND MANUALLY PUT THEM DOWN. THERE WAS NO RESISTANCE TO THE WIPER AT ALL. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS THING TO HAVE HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND SUDDENLY HAVE NO WIPERS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON YOUR WEBSITE.

IN JUNE I WAS DRIVING IN THE POURING DOWN RAIN ABOUT TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS SHUT OFF, MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE FUSES (NOT BLOWN), CHECKED A FEW OTHER ISSUES THERE WAS A LOSE NUT, TIGHTENED IT NOT TIME IT RAINED THE WIPERS SHUT OFF AGAIN, THE LINKAGE ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. 2 WEEKS AGO WHEN IT POURED DOWN THEY STOPPED WORKING AS I WAS ABOUT TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER CHECKING THE NUT ATTACHING THE LINKAGE ASSEMBLY TO THE MOTOR WAS LOSE. WE TRIED TO LOOK UP THE PART TO REPLACE THE NUT NOTHING COMES UP. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. TOMORROW IT IS SUPPOSE TO RAIN ALL DAY AND NEED TO GET TO WORK. I WENT AND REVIEWED THE ISSUE WITH THE CAR I HAVE TO SEE IF ANYTHING CAME UP AND PEOPLE ARE POSTING AS CLOSE AS 10/12/20 THE SAME HAS HAPPEN TO THEIR WIPERS

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

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

EVER SINCE WE GOT OUR VEHICLE IT USES OIL, SINCE MORE MILES HAVE GOTTEN ON THE SAID VEHICLE IT'S USING MORE OIL! OIL ISN'T CHEAP, I PUT MORE OIL IN MY 2015 EQUINOX THAN MY HUSBAND PUTS IN OUR 2004 DODGE RAM AND IT BURNS OIL BUT LESS THAN MY EQUINOX! I'M HAVING TO CHECK OIL LEVEL EVERYDAY BECAUSE OF THIS, MY HUSBAND AND I JUST HAD THE OIL CHANGED ON 10/3/2020 AND TODAY 10/5/2020 I'VE HAD TO ADD 1/2 OF A QUART OF OIL! I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS GOING TO BUT I'M STUCK WITH THIS CAR FOR QUITE AWHILE AND HONESTLY IT'S NOT WORTH IT AS MUCH OIL AS IT'S USING. NOW I'VE SEEN COMPLAINTS OVER OLDER MODELS HAVING A LAWSUIT AGAINST WHOMEVER FOR OIL CONSUMPTION ON THEIRS AND IN ALL HONESTY I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE DIRECTION I NEED TO HEAD OR WHAT BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS!!

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT THE 70 MPH SPEED LIMIT, I ATTEMPT TO SLOW DOWN AND COULD NOT WITHOUT UTILIZING MY EMERGENCY BRAKE. I ENDED UP TAKING MY CAR TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND HAD TO GET A NEW VACUUM PUMP AND PRESSURE SENSOR. I IMMEDIATELY LOOKED UP THE ISSUE AND SAW THAT THERE HAD BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE. I HAD TO PAY IN ORDER TO RECEIVE MY VEHICLE BACK, BUT THIS TYPE OF ISSUE SHOULD NOT RELY ON A CONSUMER. MY VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND I'VE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS INCIDENT, AS I ALSO HAD MY WIFE AND 2 YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE.
