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

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
10/2019 - WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, COMING INTO A CONSTRUCTION ZONE, I WENT TO SLOW DOWN. WHEN I PUSHED MY BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN, THEY WERE VERY HARD AND WAS UNABLE TO PUSH THEM DOWN. ENDED UP HAVING TO DRIVE OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID COLLISION. VACCUM PUMP FAILED WHICH CAUSED A FAILURE IN MY BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM. IT WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. 9/2020 - DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WENT TO SLOW DOWN WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN AND I WAS UNABLE TO SLOW DOWN. AGAIN HAD TO DRIVE OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID COLLISION. THIS TIME WHEN THE VACUUM PUMP FAILED, IT BROKE A GEAR CAUSING METAL PIECES TO BE SUCKED IN THE ENGINE AND NOW MY ENGINE IS NEEDING REPLACED. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR BASED ON THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. I FEEL THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAPPEN TWICE IN LESS THAN A YEAR WHILE TRAVELING HIGH SPEEDS AND BEING UNABLE TO STOP. I HAVE 2 YOUNG CHILDREN THAT I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE PUTTING IN THIS VEHICLE

WHEN IDLING OR AT A STOPPED LIGHT MY CAR JERKS WHEN I AM SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. IT HAS DONE THIS 4 OR 5 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT'S WRONG. I THINK THEY ARE WAITING UNTIL MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY BEFORE THEY ADDRESS IT.

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

THE BUSHINGS ON THE STABILIZER BAR POP OFF CAUSE THE WIPERS TO STOP WORKING. BUT CAN MOVE BY HAD. IN THE LAST WEEK I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THEM PUT BACK ON. AND THE PARTS THAT IT CALLS FOR DOESN'T WORK VERY LONG. THEY ARE NOT SNUGG ENOUGH. THEY STOPPED WORKING DURING THE RAIN WE HAVE HAD AND THE 1ST TIME I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE IN MIDDLE OF THUNDER STORM.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING SUDDENLY STABLITRAK SERVICE LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. DOOR LOCKS START UNLOCKING AND LOCKING, ALL LIGHTS START FLASHING AND CAR SLOWS DOWN. AT THE SAME TIME STEERING WHEEL BECOMES VERY TIGHT AND UNABLE TO TURN. HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING ANY SPEED. HAVE HAD MANY VISITS TO MECHANICS: ECM REPLACED AND PROGRAMMED WAS THE LAST ATTEMPT PRIOR TO THAT I HAD A NEW STARTED PUT ON. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR CHEVROLET'S FROM MY RESEARCH. RECENTLY BOUGHT A USED 2014 CHEVY TRAVERSE LT AND I'M STARTED TO SEE THE SAME ISSUES AND I'VE ONLY HAD IT 1 WEEK. I'M VERY UPSET THESE MODELS AREN'T SAFE. TO MANY TIMES TO COUNT HOW MANY TIME IT'S HAPPENED MAYBE 30-40 IN 1 YEAR.
