VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS ON MY WAY BACK 1 HOUR INTO A 5 HOUR TRIP FROM WASHINGTON DC TO NEW YORK. IT WAS POURING RAIN AND THE TRAFFIC WAS MOVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. I HAD 3 KIDS IN THE CAR WITH ME. SUDDENLY, WITH NO WARNING, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS FLIPPED OFF OF THE DRIVERS SIDE AND STOPPED AND WOULD NOT GO BACK ON. I COULD SEE NOTHING. IT WAS TERRIFYING. MY KIDS AND I ARE LUCKY TO BE ALIVE TODAY. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE SHORT BREAKS IN THE RAIN SO I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AND PARK IN A SAFE PLACE, HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE WIPER TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE ARE SO MANY REPORTS ON CAR GURUS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. SAME YEAR, SAME MAKE MODEL, AS WELL AS OTHER YEARS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE TURNED COMPLETELY OFF, COULD NOT GET KEY OUT OF IGNITION AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS TOTALLY DONE. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP. I PAID 1500 TO GET IT BACK ON. R STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING. REPAIRED IT BY CHANGING TIMING CHAIN AND A MONTH LAYER THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WENT OUT AGAIN WHILE WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT. NO WARNING JUST TURNED COMPLETELY OFF AND HAD TO GET IT TOWED AGAIN TO CAAR REPAIR SHOP. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS PROBABLY.TJE TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE. NOT WORTH THE PRICE OF REPAIR BECAUSE IT WOULD PROBABLY END UP COSTING MORE THAN THE CAR WAS WORTH.

THE IGNITION LOCKS UP WHEN SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF. IT WON'T LET THE KEY TURN THE WHOLE WAY OFF AND LOCKS IT IN PLACE FOR ANYWHERE FROM A MINUTE TO 5 MINUTES. SOMETIMES IF YOU SLAM THE SHIFTER IN PARK IT WILL RELEASE BUT NOT ALWAYS.

ENGINE
IMMEDIATELY UPON STARTING THE CAR THE CABIN IS FILLED WITH EXHAUST FUMES WHILE IN PARK. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS CRACKED AS IN MANY OTHER 2010-2016 CHEVY EQUINOX. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND UNACCEPTABLE ON THESE VEHICLES, AS CARBON MONOXIDE IS BEING PUMPED INTO THE CABIN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WITH LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON THIS OIL CHANGE I HEARD TICKING NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD SO I CHECKED THE OIL TO FIND THAT THERE WAS NONE ON THE DIP STICK, I ADDED 3.5 QUARTS. WHATS SO BOTHER SOME FOR ME IS THAT THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THESE SUV'S FOR THAT VARY PROBLEM BUT IT EXPIRES AT 120000 MILES OR 7.5 YEARS WHICH EVER COMES FIRST ALL OTHER RECALLS ARE 120000 MILES OR 10 YEARS EXCEPT THIS ONE, WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS ON A LONG TRIP WITH THE FAMILY RAN COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL , CAR DIES ON EXPRESSWAY WITHOUT ANY WARNING THEN WHAT.I DID TAKE IT TO THE DEALER & SERVICE WAS THE ONE THAT TOLD ME ABOUT THE 7.5 YEARS. THIS CAR HAD A COMPREHENSIVE CARFAX REPORT WITH DEALER MAINTENANCE BEING DONE SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. NO MENTION OF THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION . THAT WAS THE REASON THAT I PURCHASED IT

VISIBILITY/WIPER
MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY ON A RAINY DAY. IT BEGAN TO RAIN. I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION, STOPPED, AND TURNED MY WIPERS OFF. PREPARING TO LEAVE THE GAS STATION, I TURNED THE WIPERS BACK ON AFTER I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON WHILE I WAS STILL PARKED. THE WIPERS WENT UP ONE TIME, THEY STOPPED IN THE UPWARD POSITION, AND NEVER STARTED BACK WORKING. DURING THE TIME THAT I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE, THE WIPERS WOULD GO SO HARD THAT THE WIPERS WOULD GO PAST THE STOPPING POINT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, AS IF THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER WAS GOING TO GO OFF THE SIDE. THE WIPER WOULD MAKE A NOISE LIKE IT HIT SOMETHING. THIS EVEN OCCURED ON THE LOWEST SETTING FOR MY WIPERS. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED LAST NIGHT AND IT IS STILL RAINING WITH THUNDER SO I HAVE NO PICTURES.

MY CAR IS CONSUMING HUGE AMOUNTS OF OIL BEFORE IT IS TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE. I AM PUTTING OIL IN THIS CAR AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. I LET CHEVY KNOW OF THIS ISSUE BUT THEY SAID THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I ONLY DRIVE TO SCHOOL AND WORK WHICH IS ONLY A 15 MILE ROUND TRIP. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!

THE HEAT AND AIR WILL NOT WORK FOR LONG AND SHORT PERIODS OF TIME. THERE IS A TICKING SOUND, BUT THE HEAT OR AIR WON'T WORK. PERIODICALLY THE SCREEN OF THE RADIO WILL GO OFF AND REMAIN THAT WAY UNTIL THE HEAT OR AIR DECIDES TO WORK AGAIN. IT'S HARD TO DRIVE IN THE RAIN, AND I WILL HAVE TO ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN TO CLEAR THE FOG FROM THE WINDSHIELD. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR.

ENGINE
PURCHASED VEHICLE IN AUGUST OF 2018 AND ABOUT A MONTH LATER CAR BEGAN TO FEEL DIFFERENT WHILE DRIVING. PROBLEM BEGAN WHEN I WOULD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND CAR WOULD JUMP WHEN ACCELERATING. THEN WHILE GOING IN REVERSE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I HAD NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AT THIS POINT.NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT UNTIL ABOUT MARCH 2018. THE WITH ACCELERATING WENT FROM A 'JUML', TO CAR STALLING AND HAVING TO BE RESTARTED. BEGAN AS AN EVERY NOW AND THEN PROBLEM TO HAVING TO BE PUT IN THE SHOP BECAUSE IT WOULD STALL ALMOST EVERY TIME I WOULD STOP. WHEN IT STALLED IN A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WAS MY FINAL POINT OF FRUSTRATION. IT IS NOW APRIL 2019 AND IS CURRENTLY BEING DIAGNOSED. HAVE HAD A FEW DIFFERENT OPINIONS ON WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE, BUT NO FIX YET. ALL ARE COSTLY! AFTER READING REVIEWS THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED!
