AIR BAGS
THIS VEHICLE WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED IN A PREVIOUS RECALL, HOWEVER THE ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR PERSISTS. RECENTLY IT IS INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO GET THE SENSOR TO WORK FOR THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER, AND IT GOES ON AND OFF AS THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. EITHER THE REPAIR WAS NOT ADEQUATE TO COMPLETELY RESOLVE THE PROBLEM OR NOT ACTUALLY COMPLETED.

DURING A HEAVY RAIN, THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER SUDDENLY SWUNG PAST THE STOPPING POINT OF THE EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND FORCED THE WIPER MOTOR ARMS AND BUSHINGS TO BREAK APART. THE FORCE DESTROYED THE BUSHINGS AND BEND THE MOTOR ARMS AS WELL AS STRIPPED THE THREADS BETWEEN THE WIPER MOTOR MOUNT AND THE WIPER ARM

SERVICE BRAKES
I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN I GET A WARNING SAYING SERVICE BRAKES. I WENT TO HIT MY BRAKES AND I HAD NONE AT ALL! I ALMOST HIT A CAR BECAUSE IT WAS GETTING OFF THE RAMP AND HIT ITS BRAKES. I HAD TO GO OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO KEEP FROM HITTING IT. I FOUND OUT THAT THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP WENT OUT. I KNOW THAT GM IS DOING A INVESTIGATION ON THIS. MY CAR IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP GETTING REPAIRED. I DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE. I HAD NO WARNING AT ALL THAT MY BRAKES WAS NOT GOING TO WORK. THANK GOD I WAS ABLE TO GET STOPPED WITHOUT BEING IN A ACCIDENT. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD!!!!!

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS TRAVELING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER (RAINSTORM) AND SUDDENLY THE WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGE FAILED, CAUSING FAILURE OF THE DRIVERS SIDE WIPER. I WAS TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (55+ MPH) AT THE TIME ON I 270 IN COLUMBUS, OH. INSTANTLY LOST VISIBILITY AND LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO NAVIGATE TO THE BERM WITHOUT BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY AT THE TIME. THIS IS THE SECOND CHEVROLET EQUINOX THAT I EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ISSUE WITH, THE PRIOR VEHICLE WAS A 2013 EQUINOX. THIS ALSO HAPPENED TO TWO OF MY CO-WORKERS WHO DRIVE CHEVY EQUINOXES.

ENGINE
HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION AND LOUD UNKNOWN NOISE FROM ENGINE. THE ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE IT IS GOING TO COME APART WHEN STARTED AND DURING ACCELERATION. THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR IS " 91860 ". THE DEALER PERFORMED AN OIL CONSUMPTION REPORT LAST MAY. SAID THAT IT WAS WITHIN THE REQUIREMENTS SET BY CHEVROLET. ENGINE NOISE HAS INCREASED. I DO NOT FEEL THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
BACK ON JAN 14, 2019 OIL WAS CHANGED AS PART OF ROUTINE AT A SERVICE STATION. OPERATOR SUGGESTED WE TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALERS AS PART OF AN OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL HE HEARD ABOUT, WITHIN 200 MILES WE TOOK IT INTO A DEALERSHIP FOR THE TEST TO BE PERFORMED AND THEY REFUSED TO DO IT DUE TO A REAR MAIN SEAL LEAK THAT NO ONE MENTIONED EARLIER OR AT THE OIL CHANGE PLACE. THEY WOULDN'T REPAIR IT AS PART OF THE GM SERVICE BULLETIN 14882 (WHICH IS WHAT CAUSED THE ISSUE) HAD TO PAY $1700 JUST TO GET THE SEAL FIXED SO THEY COULD PERFORM THE TEST ON AN ISSUE GM ALREADY WAS AWARE OF! VEHICLE FINALLY FAILED THE CONSUMPTION TEST AND HAD THE RECALL DONE AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. WITHIN 3 WEEKS OF BEING FIXED MULTIPLE ELECTRONIC ISSUES HAVE POPPED UP LIKE THE STABILITRAK DISABLING, ENGINE POWER DECREASE WARNING, STALLING WHEN IN IDLE, BURNT SMELL, AIR BAG LIGHTS, AND ABOVE AVG ENGINE NOISES AND HAS SHUT DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER WHO FIXED IT TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE. THIS IS MY WIFE'S DAILY DRIVER AND TAKES OUR KIDS EVERYWHERE SO IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT PEOPLE READ THIS AN REALLY THINK HARD BEFORE BUYING THIS GM PRODUCT IF YOU'VE GOT A FAMILY. CURRENT;Y UNDER 91,000 MILES BUT IT SEEMS LIKE OIL CHANGES BECAME MORE FREQUENT AROUND 75,000 WITHOUT WARNING OF OIL BEING LOW.

POWER TRAIN
AUTO STOP / START IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. HESITATION FROM BRAKE TO GAS CAUSES A WHIPLASH EFFECT TO EVERYONE IN THE VEHICLE. ALSO, PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC IS A TOTAL CRAP SHOOT AS TO WEATHER THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO START, HESITATE OR GO AT ALL.
