ENGINE
ENGINE BURNS OIL... SUV ACTUALLY SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP, IT WAS FOUND TO HAVE NO OIL. LUCKILY IT SHUT OFF WHEN I WAS BY MYSELF WITHOUT MY FAMILY WHILE AT A RED LIGHT AND NOT WHEN I WAS DRIVING. THIS IS A KNOWN GM ISSUE WITH OLDER EQUINOX'S AND NOTHING HAS BEEN CORRECTED. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BC OF THIS ISSUE! IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED THAT A LOT OF OTHER EQUINOX OWNERS ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CORRECTED! GM HAS FAILED THEIR CUSTOMERS AND IS ACTING NEGLIGENT!

AIR BAGS
THE SENSOR FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS FAULT AND HAS TURNED OFF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG MANY TIMES WITH MY HUSBAND IN THE SEAT NEXT TO ME WITH THE VEHICLE IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAYS, AND INTERSTATES. I FEAR IT WILL TURN OFF AND WE WILL GET INTO AN ACCIDENT PUTTING HIS LIFE IN UNNECESSARY DANGER. THIS HAS BEEN A WELL REPORTED INCIDENT TO THE MANUFACTURER BY MANY INDIVIDUALS AND THE 2007 MODEL HAD A RECALL IN PLACE. THERE IS NO REASON THE 2008 MODEL SHOULD NOT ALSO HAVE THAT RECALL.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL. ON MARCH 29TH 2015 I WAS INVOLVED IN A AUTO ACCIDENT. AS A RESULT OF THAT ACCIDENT, I SUFFERED A BROKEN WRIST, BROKEN JAW, AND THE LOSS OF MY LEFT EYE. ALL OF THESE INJURIES WERE THE RESULT OF MY VEHICLES AIRBAG SYSTEM. IN THE ACCIDENT, NONE OF MY WINDOWS WERE BROKEN, THERE WERE NO LOOSE ITEMS IN THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY THING IN THE VEHICLE THAT HIT ME WAS THE AIRBAG AND ITS IS THE ONLY THING WHICH HAD BLOOD ON IT IN THE VEHICLE. I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY (ATLANTIC CITY EXPRESSWAY) WHEN A TURNPIKE COMMISSION VEHICLE MADE A U-TURN AND TURNED UP IN FRONT OF ME LEADING TO THE ACCIDENT. MY VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ON A FLAT HIGHWAY AT NIGHT, ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF ROAD AT THAT TIME. I WAS THEN TRAPPED INSIDE MY VEHICLE FOR AN HOUR UNTIL RESCUE WORKERS HAD TO CUT ME OUT SO THAT I COULD BE FLOWN TO THE NEAREST TRAUMA UNIT. MY YEAR VEHICLE IS ALSO THE SAME YEAR THAT ALL OTHER CHEVY VEHICLES (AVALANCHE, SILVERADO LD/HD, TAHOE, AND SUBURBON) ON THE RECALL STARTED WHICH IS 2007. MY CHEVY EQUINOX WHICH IS ALSO IN THEIR SUV / TRUCK LINEUP IS NO DIFFERENT FROM THOSE AND USED THE SAME AIRBAG, TAKATA.

ENGINE
WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE HOME ONE EVENING. HIT THE ACCELERATION PEDAL LIKE NORMAL, AND I HEARD A LOUD 'POP' OR 'THUNK' UNDER THE HOOD. THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY BAD WHEEL HOP OR SOMETHING. RIGHT AFTER THAT THE CEL CAME ON, AND THE VEHICLE WENT INTO 'LOW POWER' MODE. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT BACK HOME SLOWLY. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER, SAID A HOSE TO THE TURBO CAME OFF. TOOK A FEW DAYS TO FIX. PICKED IT UP FROM THE DEALER, GOT OUT OF THE PARKING LOT. MADE IT MAYBE A FEW HUNDRED FEET, AND THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED. DROVE IT RIGHT BACK TO DEALER. THEY WERE ABLE TO QUICKLY ORDER PART AND FIX IT AGAIN WITHIN A DAY, THIS TIME REPLACING THE CLIP AND THE HOSE. DRIVEN THE CAR PRETTY HARD TO MAKE SURE IT WILL HOLD. IT HAS SO FAR AND HOPEFULLY WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL, AS THERE ARE A TON OF REPORTS HERE ABOUT THE EXACT SAME SCENARIO.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS DRIVING MY 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX HOME ON WEDS SEPTEMBER 11, 2019 IN A TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR ON THE 696 FREEWAY IN METRO DETROIT. I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, SLOWER THEN THE SPEED LIMIT BECAUSE OF THE DOWNPOUR, AND I HAD MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON THE FASTEST SPEED. WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF WARNING MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. THE DRIVER'S WIPER HAD MOVED PAST THE WINDSHIELD SO AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE CULPRIT. I PUSHED THE WIPER BACK ONTO THE WINDSHIELD (WHILE DRIVING), BUT THE WIPERS REMAINED STATIONARY AND NO LONGER OPERATED. STILL ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE DOWNPOUR I HAD TO MANEUVER OFF THE NEAREST EXIT, SURPRISINGLY WITHOUT INCIDENT, AND PARKED IN A SUBDIVISION UNTIL THE RAIN STOPPED. THE WIPER TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED.

ENGINE
2019 CHEVY EQUINOX TURBO HOSE BLEW OFF. THE RETAINING CLIP FAILED TO PROPERLY HOLD HOSE IN PLACE. THE HOSE BLEW COMPLETELY OFF MAKING A LOUD NOISE. THE VEHICLE THEN IMMEDIATELY WENT INTO LOW POWER MODE. ALL ACCELERATION WAS GONE. LOSS OF POWER CREATED THE RPM'S TO INCREASE WHILE GOING UP HILL THE ENGINE STRUGGLING TO CLIMB.. THE VEHICLE LOST SPEED ALL THE WAY UP THE HILL. THE TURBO WAS USELESS AT THIS POINT. VERY UNSAFE TO SUDDENLY LOSE THAT MUCH POWER TO YOOUR VEHICLE. GM HAS TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. MY LOCAL DEALER IS NOT VERY HELPFUL.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
IT ONLY HAD 42000 MILES ON IT AND EVEN BEFORE IT SOUNDED FUNNY. WE HAD IT HOOKED TO DIAGNOSTIC AND IT SAID THE INTAKE AND EXHAUST CAM SHAFT ACTUATOR SOLENOIDS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED OR FAULTY. GOOGLE IT ONLINE IT COMES UP AS A RECALL FOR MY YEAR OF 2011 CHEVY EQUINIX. BUT WHEN I TOLD THEM AT CHEVY SERVICE CENTER THEY WERE ADDIMENT THAT ONLY CERTAIN VINS AND THATS WHAT THEY GO BY. BUT I TOLD THEM HOW WOULD YOU KNOW WHICH ONES ARE AFFECTED IF YOUR NOT TOLD BY CONSUMERS. ONLINE AND ON DIFFERENT SITES COME UP THAT SOME HAVE PROBLEMS AND HAVE RECALLS . WELL OM INFORMING THEM THAT THERES AN ISSUE BUT SINCE ITS NOT ON THEIR DATA BASE OR MY VIN THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. THE CAR WHEN DRIVING SHUTS OFF SOMETIMES. OR WHEN I START IT AND BEGIN TO DRIVE IT SHUTS OFF.

POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP, IT SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, AT TIMES, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INFORMED HER THAT HER VEHICLE WAS BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL, WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STALL. THE CONTACT DROVE TO GANLEY CHEVROLET (13865 BROOKPARK RD, BROOK PARK, OH 44142, 216-586-5804) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT DUE TO THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE, ANY REPAIRS WOULD BE DEEMED POINTLESS. THE DEALER DID NOT ASSIST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED THE CONTACT A VOUCHER TOWARDS ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. *DT*JB

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS
WINDSHIELD WAS NOT PROPERLY SEALED FROM THE MANUFACTURE. WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, SEATS AND MIRRORS RANDOMLY MOVED. AT ONE POINT THE SEAT WAS SO CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL, CAUSING HUSBAND'S STOMACH TO TOUCH THE WHEEL. THUS CAUSING THE INABILITY TO TURN AND CONTROL THE STEERING OF VEHICLE. MIRRORS MOVED RANDOMLY OUT OF POSITION, CAUSING INABILITY TO SEE BLIND SPOTS WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. I PURCHASED THIS CAR ON 5-15. THIS FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED 5-24. THE SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED 6-10 AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. THE RAIN INSIDE THE UNSEALED WINDSHIELD CAUSED CORROSION ON ELECTRICAL WIRING AND CONNECTIONS. THERE IS CORROSION ALSO INSIDE THE BODY. THIS BRAND NEW VEHICLE IS RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR EITHER ELECTRICAL OR BODY.

ENGINE
I TOOK MY 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WANTED TO DO THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BECAUSE MY CAR WAS BURNING TOO MUCH OIL. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS ENGINE AND I WOULD MOST LIKELY QUALIFY FOR REPAIRS TO BE DONE AFTER THIS TEST WAS COMPLETED. I HAD THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST STARTED AND WENT BACK EVERY 1,000 OR LESS MILES AND WAS TOLD THIS ISSUE WOULD BE COVERED AND EVERYTHING WOULD BE FIXED. I FOLLOWED UP EVERY 1,000MILES OR LESS. WHEN I WENT BACK ON DECEMBER 3, 2018, MY CAR HAD 71,392 MILES ON IT AND HAD MY OIL CHANGED. I WENT BACK ON MARCH 14, 2019, WITH 73,996 MILES ON MY CAR, A DIFFERENCE OF 2,600 MILES, TO HAVE MY OIL CHANGED FROM DECEMBER 3, 2017, THEY TOLD ME THAT MY CAR DIDN'T SOUND RIGHT AND THEY WILL CHECK INTO IT. I WAITED TO SEE WHAT THIS ISSUE WAS AND THEY THE SERVICE GUY TOLD ME HE HAD BAD NEWS AND MY ENGINE WAS RUINED DUE TO THE TIMING CHAIN BREAKING AND RUINING MY ENGINE. GUY CA CAR A1,000 MILES TO HAVE MY OIL CHANGED AND THEN I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE SO NOTHING FURTHER NEEDED TO BE DONE AND TO COME BACK WITHIN 3,000 MILES AND HAVE THE OIL CHANGED. I WENT BACK ON MARCH 14, 2018 AT 2,600 MILES AND WAS TOLD MY TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND MY ENGINE WAS RUINED. TOLD ME THEY CAN FIX IT FOR $8,000. HOW WOULD IT GO FROM THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION AND THAN NO ISSUE AT ALL. I TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF MY CAR. IT LOOKS ALMOST BRAND NEW! HOW CAN GM NOT CARE THAT THESE ENGINES ARE BAD! GM KNOWS THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM AND ARE MAKING EVERY EXCUSE NOT TO FIX THIS. I COULD HAVE BROKE DOWN ON A HIGHWAY AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT! HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT GM CAN'T BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE! PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED MORE INFORMATION. THANK YOU.

OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAVE TO PUT OIL IN IT EVERY TWO WEEK BECAUSE OIL IS EMPTY. IT DOES NOT LEAK AND THE VEHICLE IS PART OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT 4 OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES.

ENGINE
ON JUNE 28 WE WERE TRAVELING FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TO SOUTHERN CALIF. WHEN GOING UP A STEEP INCLINE, I HEARD A POPPING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. IMMEDIATELY, LOST POWER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, WITH A MESSAGE "REDUCED POWER". AT THE TIME, CAR WAS VIRTUALLY BRAND NEW, WITH ONLY 1335 MILES WE WERE IN A FAIRLY REMOTE AREA, SO I PULLED OFF THE INTERSTATE, AND CALLED FOR A TOW TO NEAREST CHEVROLET DEALER (37 MILES AWAY). DEALER WAS ALREADY CLOSED, IT WAS 9 PM. LEFT CAR OVERNIGHT AT DEALER, AND CONTACTED THEM NEXT DAY. DEALER SERVICE DEPT. STATED IT WAS A "THROTTLE BODY PIPE THAT POPPED OFF, AND IT WOULD TAKE A FEW DAYS FOE FIX, AND REPLACEMENT PART. WE WERE 400 MILES AWAY FROM HOME, DEALER DID ARRANGE FOR RENTAL CAR TO GO BACK HOME WITH. REPAIR TOOK NEARLY 2 WEEKS. WHEN NOTIFIED THAT CAR WAS READY, I DROVE BACK DOWN TO VALENCIA, CALIF. FROM SACRAMENTO AREA TO BRING CAR HOME. I WENT 2 BLOCKS, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IMMEDIATELY APPEARED, RETURNED TO DEALER, AND THE INSTALLED SOME SORT OF CLAMP, AS A FIX, AND WAS TOLD ALL IS NOW OK. I PROCEEDED HOME, GOING UP THE SAME INCLINE 35 MILES LATER, AND SAME PROBLEM OCCURS, LOST POWER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT,WITH REDUCED POWER MESSAGE. WAS TOWED BACK TO SAME DEALER AGAIN. SERVICE MANAGER EXPLAINED THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM IN EQUINOX MODEL, THAT GM HAS NO GOOD ANSWER FOR. AGAIN, DIAGNOSIS WAS "INTAKE PIPE POPPING OFF THROTTLE BODY". AGAIN, IT TOOK 2 WEEKS TO REPLACE INTAKE PIPE AND THROTTLE BODY. AFTER REPAIRS, I'M STILL NOTICING THAT ACCELERATION IS SOMEWHAT CHOPPY , AND NOT SMOOTH. I STILL AM NOT HAPPY, AND INTEND TO HAVE MY LOCAL DEALER, ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM, THAT I'M STARTING TO SEE, IS A WIDESPREAD GM CHEVROLET PROBLEM.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK (5:30PM, 9/5/2019), IN PREPARATION FOR TROPICAL STORM DORIAN ON HWY 70 BYPASS IN NC, MY WIPERS, WHICH WERE IN USE ON THE HIGH SPEED SETTING DUE TO HEAVY RAIN POUR, SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. I WAS FORCED TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY DUE TO ZERO VISIBILITY. THIS SUDDEN/IMMEDIATE PULL OVER ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT ANOTHER CAR THAT WAS MERGING INTO THE TURNING LANE. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, THE PROBLEM IS BELIEVED TO BE THE WIPE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY AS THE ACTUAL WIPER FUSES AND MOTOR IS STILL IN FUNCTIONING ORDER. A NEW WIPER TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY WAS PURCHASED AS RECCOMENDED

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, STEERING
IN JAN 5 2016 MY 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX MILEAGE 56747 WOULD JUST STALL WITHOUT WARNING AND I HAD NO CONTROL OF STEERING. DRIVING ON THE HWY IT JUST KILLED AND STARTED BUT DIDN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE AGAIN THEN STALLED AGAIN COULDN'T STEER. GOT IT TO RAY CHEVROLET IT WAS MY CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR SOLENOID VALVE IN SEPT.2016 MILEAGE 80584 I HAD IT TOWED AGAIN AND IT WAS THE CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR SOLENOID VALVES AND IT BURNT MY ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT AKA COMPUTER WHICH COST ME $800.00. SKIPPING FORWARD BUT NOT WITHOUT PROBLEMS THERE ARE MANY. AUG. 2019, I AM HAVING TO CHANGE CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR SOLENOID VALVES AGAIN DO TO STALLING ON THE ROAD WHILE I'M DRIVING NOT BEING ABLE TO STEER FOR THE THIRD TIME. IT'S SO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITHOUT WARNING IT WILL KILL ON YOU FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS. THEN I WENT CHANGE MY OIL LIKE CLOCK WORK AND WAS TOLD I HAVE A VALVE COVER GASKET LEAK TO GO WITH THE SOLENOID PROBLEM. IT'S SO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE DUE TO THE FACT IT WILL STALL AT ANYTIME. IN AUG. 2019 MY PRESSURE SENSOR FOR MY RIGHT TIRE WENT OUT. NOW I CAN'T GET IT TO RESET AND MECHANIC TRIED AND SAID SENSOR NEEDS TO BE CHANGED REALLY. I CAN'T TELL IF I HAVE A LOW TIRE IT JUST SHOWS BLANK LINE ON ALL TIRES. NOW MY ACTUATOR BEND DOOR BROKE ON DEFROST AND IT'S HOT IN LOUISIANA. ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET TO. THIS CAR NEEDS A RECALL REALLY BAD. THERE IS NEVER A TIME WHERE THE CAR JUST RAN GOOD WITH NO TROUBLE. THINGS THAT BROKE ON THIS CAR ARE LISTED BELOW. AIR CONTROL IAC VALUE, ACTUATOR BEND DOOR, VALVE COVER GASKET, COMPUTER, PRESSURE SENSOR, CV JOINTS, INTAKE & EXHAUST CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR SOLENOID <>THREE TIMES
