VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE TRAVELING ON AN EXPRESSWAY WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC IN A RAINSTORM WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING FORCING US TO IMMEDIATELY GET TO THE SHOULDER. WE ALMOST CRASHED AND SPENT OVER AN HOUR STRANDED AND HOPING NO ONE WOULD CRASH INTO US UNTIL THE RAIN LET UP SO WE COULD DRIVE TO THE NEAREST EXIT. AT 54K MILES GM'S WIPER TRANSMISSION WITH PLASTIC USED IN THE MOVING PARTS FAILED. NTSHA ID16V582000 HAS BEEN ISSUED & NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED BEYOND THE LIMITED VEHICLES. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS STILL A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM!

I'VE HAD THREE INCIDENTS WHERE MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. THE MOTOR WORKS FINE YOU CAN HEAR IT WHEN YOU TURN ON WIPERS BUT IT'S THE PLASTIC BUSHELS ON THE WINDSHIELD LINKAGE THAT KEEP COMING OFF CAUSING MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO EITHER NOT COME UP AT ALL, MAKE AWFUL NOISE AND COME UP SLIGHTLY, AND STOP IN MID WIPE AND FALL OFF TO THE SIDE OF WINDSHIELD. I'VE HAD THIS HAPPEN THREE TIMES AND IF YOU LOOK ONLINE YOUTUBE HAS MANY VIDEOS OF PEOPLE FIXING THERE EQUINOX WHERE IT HAS HAPPENED HE FIRST TIME MY UNCLE FIXED IT THE SECOND TIME I TOOK IT TO A CAR REPAIR SHOP AND THE THIRD TIME THAT HAPPENED TUESDAY AUGUST 20,2019 I TOOK TO A CAR REPAIR SHOP AND THEY ARE LOOKING TO SEE OUR OPTIONS AND WHAT TO DO NEXT.

ENGINE
DRIVING ON THE NJ TURNPIKE JANUARY 22 2019 FREEZING COLD OUT DAY 15' AND MY CAR JUST DIES. I CAME TO A ROLLING STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TRIED STARTING CAR AND NOTHING, THEN I HEAR A GRINDING NOISE AS I TURN THE KEY, GET OUT AND OPEN THE HOOD. I TURN KEY AGAIN AND I HEAR THIS GRINDING NOISE AGAIN. NO WARNING LIGHTS NO INDICATORS NOTHING. CALL AAA BUT THEY CAN'T PICK ME UP ON THE TURNPIKE NEEDS TO BE A SEPARATE TOW TRUCK COMPANY. AFTER 45 MINUTES FREEZING IN THE CAR THE TOW TRUCK GUY SHOWS UP. TAKES A LOOK AT THE TRUCK CHECK OIL AND SAYS I HAVE NO OIL. TURNED KEY AND DASH DID NOT SHOW ANY OIL LIGHTS LIT. LOOKED AT THE BACK OF THE TRUCK AND THERE WAS OIL ALL OVER IT SEE PICS. HAD TO GET TOWED TO YARD THEN CALLED AAA TO TAKE ME TO ELKINS CHEVY. ELKIN'S CHEVY LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THE PCV VALVE FROZE CAUSING THE REAR MAIN SEAL TO BREAK CAUSING ENGINE TO LOSE ALL OIL AND CEASE UP WITH POSSIBLE PIECES IN THE TRANSMISSION. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR SENSORS LIT UP AT ALL STILL. DEALER SAID I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY 88,575 MILES SO I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING. NEW ENGINE $6,000 USED $4,500 PLUS WHAT EVER OTHER DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION, PVC AND CASE. ESTIMATED 7,000 TO 9000. TO FIX THE TRUCK WAS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND ALWAYS GOT SERVICED OIL CHANGES ECT. I BOUGHT ANOTHER EQUINOX 2019 AND WHILE TRANSFERRING MY STUFF FROM 1 TRUCK TO ANOTHER SERVICE GUY SAID THIS A COMMON THING WITH THIS ECOTEC ENGINE AND CHEVY IS AWARE. I WENT HOME AND GOOGLE WHAT HAPPENED AND SURE ENOUGH THEY HAVE A CLASS ACTION SUITE AGAINST THEM. THEY SAID IT SHOULD ONLY BE ON THE OLDER MODELS AND IT IS FIXED ON NEWER YEARS. I COULD ENTER MY VIN TO SEE IF MY TRUCK WAS PART OF THE RECALL WHICH IT WAS NOT. I CALLED CHEVY, ESCALLATION AND MANAGERS THEY SAID SINCE I SOLD\TRADED THE TRUCK IN FOR A NEW ONE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO.

OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE: MY CAR KEEPS LOSING OIL SHORTLY AFTER I GET AN OIL CHANGE. I DON'T EVEN KNOW ITS LOW UNTIL I HEAR MY ENGINE RATTLING. THE LAST TIME IT WAS CHECKED BY JIFFY LUBE, I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE OIL ADDED AND I'M NOT DUE FOR ANOTHER OIL CHANGE (AUG 8, 2019) UNTIL THE END OF AUGUST 2019. NO LIGHT OR INDICATOR COMES ON TO LET ME KNOW MY OIL IS LOW. I REPORTED THIS TO MY DEALER (JEFF WYLER- OHIO) ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY YEAR AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO GIVE ME A PRICE ON INSERTING PISTON RINGS OR SOMETHING TO THAT NATURE. HOW AM I RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ISSUE WHEN GM KNEW ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THE LAWSUIT COVERS EQUINOX FOR 2012-2017? HOWEVER, IT IS LOW EACH TIME THEY SERVICE MY CALL AND EVEN WHEN I JUST WENT TO HAVE A LIGHT BULB REPLACED, I WAS DOWN 2 QUARTS AND NOT DUE FOR ANOTHER OIL CHANGE FOR 2 MONTHS. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 2014 AND THERE IS NO WAY I SHOULD EVER BE SHORT ON OIL - MY OIL IS CHANGED AS REQUIRED TO BE COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. IF I WOULD OF KNOWN IT WAS A RECALL, I WOULD HAVE BEEN CONTACTED GM. DONT' WORRY I'LL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GM VEHICLE AGAIN. ONLY EVIDENCE I HAVE IS MY RECEIPT FROM JIMMY LUBE AND EACH PRINT OUT I GET WHEN JEFF WYLER'S SERVICE CENTER PERFORMS MY OIL CHANGE

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT TIME DURING LIGHT RAIN. WITHOUT WARNING, BOTH WIPERS STOPPED IN THE UP POSITION. I TRIED TURNING THE WIPERS OFF AND BACK ON AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I TURNED THE WIPERS OFF AND GOT OFF THE NEXT EXIT AND PULLED INTO A SERVICE STATION TO GET UNDER SOME LIGHT. I TRIED TO MOVE THE WIPERS AND THEY WENT INTO THEIR RESTING POSITION. I THEN TURNED ON THE WIPERS AND COULD HEAR THE MOTOR RUNNING BUT THE WIPERS WERE NOT MOVING. FORTUNATELY, THE RAIN STOPPED AND I WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE MY TRIP HOME. JUST A FEW DAYS EARLIER, I DROVE THROUGH A VERY HEAVY RAIN STORM AND THANK THE LORD THAT THE WIPERS DIDN'T QUIT AT THAT TIME. I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE WHERE I WAS GOING.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, GOING 60 MPH IN THE PNW. IT WAS DUMPING RAIN AND I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE WHEN MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST STOPPED WORKING. I HAD MY 1 YEAR OLD IN THE BACKSEAT AND ALL I COULD SEE WAS ALL THE CARS AHEAD OF ME SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES. MY WINDSHIELD WAS GLOWING RED FROM THE BREAK LIGHTS. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I DIDN'T CRASH MY CAR OR HIT THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS SO CLOSE TO THEM. I ROLLED DOWN MY WINDOW AND HAD TO LITERALLY STICK HALF THE UPPER PORTION OF MY BODY OUT THE WINDOW TO SEE A LITTLE BIT. THANK GOODNESS, I WAS ABLE TO MOVE OVER 4 LANES (AFTER FORCING MY WAY THROUGH, I HAD NO CHOICE BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE). EVERYONE WAS HONKING AT ME LIKE I WAS THE BIGGEST JERK, BUT IF I DIDN'T MOVE OVER I WAS GOING TO KILL US OR SOMEONE ELSE WHO WAS DRIVING. I AM SERIOUSLY LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. NOT SHOCKING, I LOOKUP THE ISSUE ONLINE AND CHEVY KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAS DONE NOTHING. NOTHING! THIS IS NOT THE ONLY TIME CHEVY HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT THIS EQUINOX HAVING PROBLEMS. IT ALSO HAS AN OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. THIS CAR HAS COST ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, AND NOW IT DIDN'T JUST GIVE ME A HUGE MECHANICAL BILL, IT ALMOST COST ME MY LIFE AND MY SONS. I'M SO DEFEATED AT THIS POINT. THIS CAR IS NOT RELIABLE FOR SOMEONE WITH CHILDREN OR ANYONE WHO IS LIVING IN THE PNW WHERE IT RAINS CONSTANTLY. SUPER THANKFUL TO BE ALIVE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
SPEEDOMETER RANDOMLY DROPS TO ZERO WHILE DRIVING 60- 70MPH DOWN HIGHWAY AND AT LOWER SPEEDS AS WELL SUCH AS 30MPH. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN STABILITY TRACKER COMES ON.THERMOMETER FOR ENGINE DROPS TO COLD AT SAME TIME AND CAR BEGINS JOLTING/JERKING. NEEDLES ON DASH BOARD GO HAY WIRE AND MOVE BACK AND FORTH. AFTER A FEW HOURS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF AND THEN DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIND FIX BECAUSE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS INTERMITTENT. HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE ON AND OFF FOR 3 YEARS. CHEVY ON STAR DIAGNOSTICS PROVIDES ERROR CODES THAT POINT TO TCM, ECM AND ABS-BREAKING AND STABILITY SYSTEM. CHEVY DEALERS ARE NEVER ABLE TO COME TO RESOLUTION AND PIN DOWN WHAT IS WRONG. ISSUE KEEPS HAPPENING. I HAVE MORE INVOICES/CHEVY ONSTAR DIAGNOSTIC DOCUMENTS SHOWING ISSUE AND ERROR CODES BUT I WAS UNABLE TO UPLOAD THEM ALL AS I CAN ONLY UPLOAD 5MB. AM ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION IF NEED BE.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE, VERY DANGEROUS! I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK DRIVING ON THE NORTHEAST EXTENSION OF THE PA TURNPIKE HEADING SOUTH, AND I WAS BETWEEN EXIT 95 & EXIT 87 ON FRIDAY 8/2/19 AT APPROX. 3:30 PM. I WAS DRIVING THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH AND WAS NOT USING CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE CAR ABRUPTLY SHIFTED INTO LOW GEAR, FLASHED A 'REDUCED POWER MODE' WARNING, AND WENT INTO A 'LIMP' MODE WHERE IT WAS SLOWING DOWN TO EVENTUALLY STOP ITSELF, BUT I WAS AT 40 OR 35 WHEN I PULLED OVER. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, AND THANK GOD NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME, I WASN'T IN CONSTRUCTION AND I HAD A SPOT I COULD SAFELY PULL OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER. I HAVE A 2017 CHEVY EQUINOX WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES ON IT. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND SAT FOR 5 MINUTES OR SO. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, THE REDUCED POWER WARNING WAS GONE, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME AND CALLED THE DEALER, CHEVY WIND GAP, TO SEE IF I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED THERE OR IF I COULD DRIVE IT IN MYSELF. THEY TOLD ME THEY THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A SENSOR MALFUNCTION, THAT IT SHOULD RESET ITSELF, AND THAT I COULD DRIVE IT THERE FOR THEM TO LOOK AT WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF AFTER A FEW DAYS, AND CHEVY WIND GAP WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANY CURRENT CODE HISTORY OF THE REDUCED POWER MODE SO NOW I'M JUST DRIVING IN FEAR EVERY TIME I GET INTO THE THING THAT IT'S GOING TO DO THIS AGAIN AT ANY TIME. I DON'T WANT TO TAKE PASSENGERS FOR FEAR OF PUTTING THEM IN DANGER. IF THIS HAPPENED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH A TRACTOR TRAILER ON MY BUMPER, IT COULD MAKE FOR A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE CHEVY EQUINOX, THIS IS THE 3RD ONE WE'VE BOUGHT, PLEASE LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS OUT THERE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO BECAUSE THAT NUMBER IS GROWING EACH DAY. PLEASE GIVE US PIECE OF MIND TO FEEL SAFE AGAIN IN OUR NEW CHEVY EQUINOX.
