ENGINE
HOSE CLIP THAT GOES TO TURBOCHARGER HAS POPPED OFF TWICE NOW. I CURRENTLY HAVE 3400 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN APRIL 2019. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS WHEN I WAS ON STREET TRAFFIC AND I ACCELERATED AND HEARD A LOUD CLUNK NOISE. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT I GOT REAR-ENDED. THEY HAD MY CAR AT THE DEALER FOR THREE WEEKS DUE TO THE PART BEING BACK ORDERED. GOT BACK AND WITHIN THE FIRST 100 MILES OF DRIVING, THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME I WAS ON THE FREEWAY, WHICH COULD HAVE ENDED BADLY. I WAS ALSO TOLD AT THE DEALER THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS THOUGH, THAT A SERIOUS ACCIDENT CAN OCCUR OVER A $25 DOLLAR CLIP THAT IS OBVIOUSLY AN ENGINEERING FLAW.

WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME IN A DOWNPOUR WITH THE WIPERS ON HIGH, THEY STOPPED WORKING IN MID-CYCLE. SHE CAUTIOUSLY MADE IT TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE WHERE THEY EXPLAINED IT WAS MOST LIKELY THE LINKAGE ON THE WIPER TRANSMISSION.

THE TUBE CONNECTING THE EXHAUST TO THE TURBO HAS BECOME DISCONNECTED NOT ONCE, NOT TWICE, BUT THREE SEPARATE TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THE SECOND TIME FIXED WAS WITH A NEWLY DESIGNED GM PART SPECIFICALLY TO ELIMINATE THE ISSUE. WHICH CLEARLY DID NOT OCCUR. OWNED THE VEHICLE A TOTAL OF THREE MONTHS WITH 2260 MILES ALL DRIVEN BY MYSELF AND THE VEHICLE HAS SPENT A MONTH AND MORE AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS.

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY IN A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WHEN MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. THE MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING. I HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE I HAD NO VISIBILITY IMMEDIATELY. THANKFULLY, I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND COULD GET TO THE SHOULDER IMMEDIATELY OR THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. HAD MY CAR TOWED HOME.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A 2019 EQUINOX THAT I BOUGHT WITH ONLY 29 MILES WHEN PURCHASED 5/22/19. WITHIN THE SECOND WEEK OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY I HEARD A POPPING NOISE AND I THEN THE A MESSAGE CAME A CROSS THE SCREEN SAYING LISING POWER FROM THE ENGINE! I WAS SO SCARED ON THE FREEWAY ! I HAVE A NEW CAR, WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM! THE CAR REDUCED SPEED! I TOOK IT TO GEORGE MATICK CHEVROLET . MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 2 DAYS AND THEY DISCOVERED IT WAS THE AIR TUBE HAD CAME OFF! MY CAR WAS RETURNED BACK TO ME AFTER SERVICE. 2 WEEKS LATER WHILE DRIVING TO INDIANAPOLIS THE TUBE POPPED 9FF AGAIN! I CALLED ON STAR THEY NAVIGATED ME TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER CONNECTED THE TUBE BACK AND TOLD ME IT WAS OKAY TO DRIVE , AND SHOWED ME HOW TO RECONNECT THE TUBE IF IT CAME OFF AGAIN! THIS WAS SO SCARY TO BE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH A NEW CAR AND THINGS LIKE THIS IS HAPPENING! I NO LONGER WANTS THIS VEHICLE! I GET BACK TO MICHIGAN TAKES IT TO THE DEALERSHIP NOW THEY HAVE TO ORDER THE PART IT WILL TAKE A COUPLE OF DAYS TO GET THE PART IN. OK THE CAR IS FIXED AGAIN! 3 WEEKS LATER THE SAME PROBLEM AFTER A NEW TUBE WAS PLACED ON THE CAR 6/ 26 /19, THE CAR IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP SAME PROBLEM PLUS NOW THEY HAVE TO CHANGE THE THROTTLE! I FEEL LIKE I BOUGHT A NIGHTMARE!😡😭

WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 9:45 PM AND IT STARTED TO POUR HEAVILY. I TURNED MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON AND INITIALLY THEY WORKED FINE AND THEN SUDDENLY THEY STOPPED IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. I HAD ZERO VISIBILITY AND HAD TO PULL OVER BENEATH AN OVERPASS UNTIL THE RAIN STOPPED. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS A SIGNIFICANT CONCERN AS THE RISK FOR ACCIDENT AND/OR INJURY THAT COULD COME ABOUT BECAUSE OF THIS IS HIGH. WHEN DOING AN ONLINE SEARCH ABOUT THIS, I FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME SITUATION. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG EQUINOX VEHICLES. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN INVESTIGATED? WHY SHOULD CONSUMERS HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT CLEARLY BEGAN AT THE FACTORY.

POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) HAS FAILED. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PUT INTO EITHER "R" OR "D" THE VEHICLE LURCHES, AND THE "R" OR "D" FLASHES. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE VEHICLE IS NOT OPERABLE. PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR - THE VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE FORWARD. THIS CONDITION WILL ALSO OCCUR DURING OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. REGARDLESS OF TRAVEL SPEED AT THE TIME, THE VEHICLE WILL SLAM INTO A LOW GEAR. THIS CREATES A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY RISK. ON A WET, SNOWY, OR ICY ROAD IT WOULD SURELY CAUSE THE OPERATOR TO LOOSE CONTROL AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 38,000 MILES. FOR THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) TO FAIL ON A VEHICLE WITH THIS FEW MILES IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. FOR IT NOT TO BE WARRANTIED IS ALSO NOT ACCEPTABLE, AND A CALCULATED DECISION ON THE PART OF THE MANUFACTURER TO AVOID LIABILITY FOR AN ISSUE IT IS AWARE OF THAT REGARDS THE SAFE OPERATION OF ITS VEHICLES. UPON RESEARCH, THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME NATURE ON-LINE. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. *TR

I WAS RIDING DOWN A HIGHWAY THROUGH A SEVER THUNDERSTORM WHEN MY FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. MY REAR WIPERS REMAINED INTACT. I PULLED OVER, CHECKED THE FUSE AND FOUND THAT THE FUSE WAS NOT BLOWN. THEREFORE, I BELIEVE IT'S THE MOTOR. I LOOKED UP THE ISSUE TO DISCOVER MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL.

WHILE DRIVING, IT BEGAN RAINING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO STOP ABRUPTLY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. IT IS HAZARDOUS AND DANGEROUS TO OPERATE A VEHICLE MID STORM WITHOUT PROPER VISIBILITY. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THIS BE CORRECTED EXPEDITIOUSLY.
