POWER TRAIN
I'LL BE DRIVING VERY LIGHTLY AND ABOUT 25MPH WHEN IT WANTS TO SHIP IT SURGES. I STILL HAVE THE SAME PRESSURE IN THE GAS PEDAL. I SEEN IT GET STUCK AT DOWN SHIFTING A FEW TIMES WHEN GOING DOWN A HILL. IT HAS LUNGED ALMOST TOO ONE TIME. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER THEY TEST DRIVE IT, HAD NO CODES WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL. I BEEN DRIVING CVTS FOR A DECADE NOW AND I KNOW THIS IS NOT THAT SONI SORT OF BOUGHT IT. I THINK THE TRANSMISSION SHOULDN'T DO THIS.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
2008 CHEVROLET EQUINOX SPORT MAKES A LOUD POPPING/CLUNKING NOISE IN THE FRONT END WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS. IT ALSO POPS LOUD WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN I AM DRIVING ON STRAIGHT AND SMOOTH ROADS, THERE IS NO ISSUE WHATSOEVER. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO FOUR DIFFERENT SHOPS AND HAD IT LOOKED AT BY EIGHT DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY GENERAL MOTORS IMMEDIATELY! I STRONGLY FEEL THAT THIS CAN BECOME A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS DRIVING MY CAR HOME FROM WORK, ON NORTH CAPITAL STREET N.W. A VERY BUSY CITY STREET, WHEN I STOP AT THE RED LIGHT MY CAR STARTED TO SHAKE,AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, MY CAR STALLED AND THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST RAN INTO ME. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC HE TOLD ME THAT MY CAR WAS ALMOST OUT OF OIL, AND I TOLD HIM THAT I GOTTEN AND OIL CHANGE 1 1/2 MONTHS AGO, AND THE METER ON MY DASH BROAD SAID THAT I HAVE 75% OIL LEFT IN MY CAR, HE SAID TO KEEP AN EYE ON MY OIL. WHEN I HAD WORK DONE TO MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY NEVER TOLD ME THAT I HAD A PROBLEM WITH EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION, DUE TO PISTON RING WEAR. THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT NEVER CAME ON, AND "OIL PRESSURE LOW" OR ENGINE LIGHT NEVER GAVE ME ANY KIND OF WARNING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX MY VEHICLE BECAUSE I WAS OVER THE 120,000 MILEAGE, MY CAR WAS AT 131,699 MILEAGE WHEN I REALIZE WHAT WAS GOING ON, MY CAR IS STILL STALL AND I'M AFRAID THAT SOMEONE WILL RUN INTO THE BACK OF ME WHEN MY CAR STALLS AT THE LIGHT. I WORK AT CHILDREN HOSPITAL, AS A NURSE AND THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR ME TO BE BREAKING DOWN, TRYING TO EVEN GET TO WORK, OR TRYING TO GET HOME FROM WORK AFTER WORKING 12HRS OR 16 HRS, PLEASE HELP.

ENGINE
HAVING TO ADD OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAD IT CHECKED. PER CODE LOW OIL AND CAN ONLY BE RESET AFTER AN OIL CHANGE. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND GOT THE OIL CHANGED AND A FEW DAYS LATER THE DEALER CALLED STATING I NEED TO GET NEW PISTON RINGS BECAUSE OF A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE OR I WILL LOSE OIL. THE DEALER STATED THE GM WILL GO 50/50 WITH ME ON THE FIX SINCE THE RECALL EXPIRED. I DID NOT GET A RECALL NOTICE OR HAVE THE 50% OF THE COST TO FIX THE VEHICLE, I AM THE 2ND OWNER.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP SIGN. TURNING RIGHT, IT STARTED TO STALL AND THEN FINALLY TOOK OFF. THIS WAS THE FIRST INSTANCE OF SOMETHING POTENTIALLY WRONG. WHEN WE MADE IT TO WORK, IT APPEARED TO BE OK. WHEN WE STARTED IT, EXHAUST APPEARED TO COME FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND EXHAUST FUMES WERE ENTERING THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. TO MAKE IT HOME SAFELY, WE LOWERED THE WINDOWS. WHEN WE STARTED IT, THERE IS NOTICEABLY A CHANGE IN ENGINE NOISE, THE SMELL OF BURNING OIL, AND OIL COVERS THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WE SEARCHED ONLINE TO SEE WHAT MAY BE THE CAUSE, AND WE FOUND A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT IN FLORIDA WHICH DESCRIBES OUR VEHICLE'S ISSUES ALMOST PERFECTLY. OIL CONSUMPTION IS HIGH, IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, EXHAUST ENTERING THE CABIN IS DEADLY, AND THE CHANGE OF THE ENGINE SOUND.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MY 2014 EQUINOX USES 1.5 TO 2.0 OTS. OF OIL EVERY 1500 - 2000 MILES. THE ENGINE OIL SENSOR DOES NOT INDICATE ANY PROBLEMS OR LOW OIL CAPICATY. MY 2014 EQUINOX MAKES A LOUD ROARING NOISE FROM THE REAR END ON BOTH SIDES AND NOW WILL START TO SHAKE SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING, WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES IT MAKES A BUMPING SOUND
