ENGINE
I OWN A 2013 CHEV. EQUINOX THAT I PURCHASED BRAND NEW. I USED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR ALL MY REGULAR MAINTENANCE AS RECOMMENDED. SOMEWHERE AROUND 60,000 MILES I MENTIONED TO MY SERVICE TECH THAT MY CAR WAS MAKING A KNOCKING AND TICKING NOISE AND APPEARED TO BE LOW ON OIL. HE CONDUCTED THE REG. OIL CHANGE AND SAID ALL LOOKED GOOD. MY OIL CONSUMPTION CONTINUED TO INCREASE WITH NO LOW OIL INDICATOR LIGHT EVER COMING ON. I WAS HAVING TO ADD OIL BETWEEN REG. OIL CHANGES WITH NO HELP FROM THE DEALERSHIP. AT JUST OVER 100,000 MILES, I MENTIONED TO MY SERVICE TECH AGAIN THAT IT WAS BECOMING A HASSLE ALWAYS HAVING TO BUT OIL IN MY CAR BETWEEN SERVICES. HE SAID HE COULD DO A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, BUT GM WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IT WAS OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY. I INFORMED HIM THAT I HAD MENTIONED IT TO HIM ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS JUST TO LEARN HE NEVER MADE A NOTE ON MY RECORDS ABOUT IT. HE CHANGED THE OIL AND ASKED ME TO COME BACK AFTER SO MANY MILES. I WENT BACK AS REQUESTED KNOWING IT WAS LOW BECAUSE OF THE TICKING NOISE AND HE SAID IT WAS WITHIN THE NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION BASED ON GM. HE THEN ASKED ME TO COME BACK AGAIN AFTER SO MANY MILES WHICH I DID. I KNOW IT WAS LOW BECAUSE I CHECKED IT MYSELF BEFORE GOING BY AND IT WAS ONLY SHOWING ON THE TIP OF THE DIP STICK. AGAIN HE SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT BEING WITHIN THE NORMAL CONSUMPTION BASED ON GM. HE THEN ADDED OIL PER MY REQUEST. STILL AT NO POINT DID MY OIL LIGHT EVER COME ON. AFTER GETTING NO WHERE WITH THE DEALERSHIP, I DECIDED TO NO LONG HAVE MY OIL CHANGED BY THEM. BUT STILL HAVING TO BUT 2-3 QTS OF OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES AND EVEN CHANGING THE OIL MORE OFTEN. I RECENTLY TOOK MY CAR TO ANOTHER MECHANIC TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY LEAKS AND HE SAID THAT MY ENGINE IS KNOWN TO BURN HIGH AMOUNTS OF OIL AND THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO TO HELP AND RECOMMENDED FILING A COMPLAINT WITH GM.

ENGINE
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN HER CAR BROKE DOWN ON A VERY VERY BUSY HIGHWAY. JUST BEFORE THE BROADWAY BRIDGE CROSSING THE MISSOURI RIVER ENTERING DOWNTOWN KANSAS CITY MO LITERALLY RIGHT BEFORE THE BRIDGE ON THE SOUTHBOUND SIDE OF 169 HIGHWAY. THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS IN THE NEGATIVES. SHE CALLED ME AND I PICKED HER UP. MIND YOU I WORK NIGHTS SO I WAS IN BED. SHE HAD TO WAIT IN A FREEZER BASICALLY UNTIL I GOT THERE. WHICH WAS ABOUT 35 MINS. HYPOTHERMIA CAN TAKE AFFECT IN THAT AMOUNT OF TIME. LUCKILY SHE HAD A BLANKET AND AN EXTRA COAT TO COVER UP WITH. I DROPPED HER OFF AND WENT BACK TO THE CAR TO WAIT ON THE TOW TRUCK. THERE IS VERY LITTLE ROOM TO PULL OFF THE ROAD WHERE IT BROKE DOWN AT. ANOTHER 10 YARDS AND IT WOULD'VE BEEN BLOCKING A LANE OF TRAFFIC ON THE BRIDGE. THE TOW TRUCK GETS THERE AND IS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY REAR ENDED BY A DISTRACTED DRIVER. HE GETS BACKED UP STARTS TO GET OUT AND IS ALMOST SIDESWIPED BY ANOTHER DRIVER. HE CALLS ANOTHER TOW TRUCK TO THE SCENE TO BLOCK TRAFFIC SO HE DOSEN'T GET HIT. FINALLY AT THE SHOP. THE MECHANIC LOOKS IT OVER AND TELLS ME THAT THE REAR MAIN SEAL HAS BLEW OUT OF THE ENGINE DUE TO A FROZEN PCV VALVE. AND THE ENGINE IS TOAST BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF METAL SHAVINGS ON THE DIPSTICK. AND DUE TO THE KNOCKING THAT THE ENGINE IS MAKING. $7000 FOR A REMANUFACTURED ENGINE INSTALLED IS THE QUOTE HE GAVE ME. A USED ENGINE WOULD BE CHEAPER BUT WE'D RUN THE RISK OF GETTING ONE THAT CONSUMES TOO MUCH OIL. SO THAT'S OUT OF THE QUESTION. THEN COME TO FIND OUT THEY KNOW THIS A PROBLEM?! BUT ARE ONLY COVERING CERTAIN VEHICLES. I'M BEYOND IRRITATED AT THIS POINT. NOT ONLY HAVE THEY ENDANGERED MY WIFE. NOT ONLY HAVE THEY ENDANGERED MYSELF. BUT THEY HAVE ALSO ENDANGERED THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER. ALL BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX THEIR FAULTY DESIGN. THIS TYPE OF STUFF HAS GONE ON FOR FAR TOO LONG WITH AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DECELERATE INDEPENDENTLY, THE OIL PRESSURE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PCV VALVE WAS OBSTRUCTED. THE BLOCKAGE CAUSED SIGNIFICANT PRESSURE IN THE ENGINE, WHICH CAUSED THE REAR MAIN SEAL BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION TO ALLOW OIL TO POUR FROM THE SEAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. TIM LALLY CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 24999 MILES RD, BEDFORD HEIGHTS, OH 44128, (440) 232-2000) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 9-5027280547.

STEERING, WHEELS
I NEED TO REPORT THAT WHEN DRIVING ON THESE ICY ROADS THAT MY AWD EQUINOX FEELS LIKE IT SWERVES? IT FEELS LIKE IT TAKES ME INTO THE OTHER LANE MOST OF THE TIME. NOW, I DON'T KNOW IF ITS THE AWD CAUSING IT BUT OTHER AWD VEHICLES THAT I'VE DRIVEN HAVE NEVER DID IT THIS BAD TO THE POINT THAT IT FEELS ALMOST LIKE MY BACK END STARTS GOING SIDEWAYS.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES ON THE 2018 EQUINOX ARE TOO SENSITIVE, WHEN APPLIED THEY CAUSE OCCUPANTS TO LUNGE FORWARD.WE THOUGHT THEY WOULD WEAR IN BUT AFTER SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF MILES THEY ARE STILL THE SAME.WE TALKED TO DEALERSHIP, MCDANIELS AND SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT THIS BUT THEY SAID IT'S LIKE THE OTHER EQUINOX. CALLED GM CUSTOMER CARE AND CORPORATE OFFICE BUT THEY DIDN'T CARE TO FOLLOW UP. TECHNICIAN SAID YES THEY HAVE TO BE CAREFUL DRIVING THEM WHEN SERVICING BECAUSE OF BRAKES.THERE IS NO FREEPLAY AND THEY AGGRESSIVELY ENGAGE WITH THE VERY SLIGHTEST TOUCH. IT IS NOT GOOD TO TOUCH BRAKES TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL BECAUSE IT JERKS THE CAR IMMEDIATELY. IT SEEMS THERE SHOULD BE A MANUFACTURING STANDARD FOR BRAKES. THE DEALERSHIP AND GM IGNORE ANY QUESTION AND CANNOT PROVIDE TECHNICAL DETAIL OR WHETHER IF IT IS WITHIN STANDARD OR NOT. IT SEEMS PETTY TO COMPLAIN ABOUT BRAKES WORKING "TOO GOOD" BUT IT REALLY IS A PROBLEM AND HURTS MY WIFES NECK WHEN BRAKING. IF YOU ONLY DRIVE THE EQUINOX YOU COULD GET USED TO IT AND ADJUST YOUR PRESSURE. THE PROBLEM IS WE HAVE A COUPLE OTHER GM VEHICLES AND IN THE OTHERS THERE IS FREEPLAY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE BRAKES DO NOT GRAB IMMEDIATELY LIKE THE EQUINOX. EVEN MY C6 CORVETTE AND A NEWER SILVERADO WHOSE BRAKES WORK WELL. THEY NEVER GRAB WITH THE SLIGHTEST TOUCH.. SWITCHING BETWEEN VEHICLES CAUSES A SAFETY PROBLEM. WHEN GOING TO THE EQUINOX FROM ANOTHER CAR IT IS EASY TO CAUSE SEVERE LUNGING. THE BIGGER PROBLEM IS GOING TO ANOTHER VEHICLE WHERE YOU THEN TO LIGHTLY TOUCH THE BRAKES AND NOTHING HAPPENS, THIS DELAY COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT SEEMS THERE SHOULD BE A STANDARD FOR BRAKES AND THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE AND I DON'T SEE WHY GM IS IGNORING IT.. NHTSA SHOULD SET THIS STANDARD AND INSURE MAKERS VEHICLES COMPLY.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING AT CONSTANT SPEED AND RPM OIL PRESSURE GOES FROM 30PSI TO 70PSI. IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE HIGH OIL PRESSURE IS AS BIG A PROBLEM AS LOW PRESSURE. MY OTHER CARS DO NOT DO THIS AS OIL PRESSURE GOES UP WITH RPM SO I ASKED MCDANIELS SERVICE TECHNICIAN AND SERVICE MANAGER IF THIS WAS NORMAL. TECHNICIAN SAID HE COULDN'T REPEAT IT BUT IT DOES IT ALL THE TIME. I ASKED IF THIS WAS NORMAL AND THEY BOTH WEREN'T SURE. IN OCTOBER THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE WOULD CHECK AND GET BACK WITH ME BUT AS OF JAN 30, 2019 I HAVE NO RESPONSE. I HAVE CALLED A FEW TIMES BUT NO CALL BACK. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER CARE AND CORPORATE OFFICE. THEY SAID THEY WOULD FOLLOW UP BUT WHEN I CALLED BACK IN JANUARY THEY JUST SAID I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN. ACTUALLAY I'M NOT SURE THIS IS NORMAL OR NOT ON THE 1.5T EQUINOX. IT MAY BE NORMAL, MAYBE GM HAS A VARIABLE PRESSURE PUMP TO ADD PRESSURE FOR VARIABLE VALVE TIMING. THE PROBLEM IS THE TECHNICIANS, SERVICE MANAGER AND CUSTOMER CARE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TELL ME THIS. THEY SHOULD KNOW OR BE ABLE TO GET AN ANSWER FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS ON TECHNICAL QUESTIONS. CARS ARE MORE TECHNICAL TODAY AND THE TECHNICIANS AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT SHOULD BE MORE TECHNICAL TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES. REGARDLESS THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO ANSWER CUSTOMERS QUESTIONS IN A TIMELY MANOR AND TELL CUSTOMERS IF THEY HAVE A PROBLEM OR NOT. THREE MONTHS IS TOO LONG TO WAIT FOR ANSWER, IT SEEMS AS THOUGH ANY ISSUE IS STALLED OR DELAYED TO TRY TO WAIT UNTILL THE CUSTOMER GIVES UP OR THE WARRANTY EXPIRES. I'M GLAD THIS IS JUST A MINOR ISSSUE -I HOPE.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES PER HOUR MY ENGINE STARTED TO FLUTTER WHEN NOTICING THAT I PULLED OVER RIGHT AWAY AND MY ENGINE SHUT OFF. I HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THE DEALERSHIP TOOK A LOOK AT IT THEY REALIZED IT WAS A PCV CLOG FROM CONDENSATION GETTING IN TO THE PCV VALVE. I HAVE 72000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE SO THERE IS NO MORE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY I BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HOWEVER THEY WILL NOT COVER IT BECAUSE THEY DO NOT COVER CLOGS. UPON RESEARCHING THIS I FOUND OUT THAT CHEVY HAD A LOT OF THESE AND ACTUALLY EXTENDED WARRANTIES ON VEHICLES FROM 2010 TO 2014 FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THEY HAVE NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT FIXING THE ISSUE IN THE ARTICLES I HAVE READ. UPON HEARING THIS INFORMATION FROM THE DEALERSHIP I CONTACTED ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHICH THAT THEY HAD 6 VEHICLES IN THEIR FOR THIS SAME EXACT THING THEY TOLD ME THAT IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN IT GETS COLD. CHEVROLET WILL NOT COVER THIS KNOWING IT IS A PROBLEM. ATTACHED IS THE SERVICE BULLETIN WHERE IT LIST THE MODELS AND WHERE CHEVY HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THOSE MAKE AND MODELS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
UNABLE TO DISABLE AUTO STOP ENGINE FUNCTION. WINSHIELD DEFROSTER USES AC COMPRESSOR TO AID DEFROAT OF WINDSHIELD WHICH NEEDS ENGINE RUNNING TO OPERATE. WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT WINDSHIELD STEAMS UP ON THE INSIDE BECAUSE OF EXCESS MOISTURE IN EVAPORATOR.

MY 2013 CHEVROLET EQUINOX WITH 90,000 MILES WHICH IS A COUPLE MONTHS OUT OF POWERTRAIN WARRANTY HAS BEEN EATING OIL. I DISCOVERED THIS WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN AFTER IT BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED BECAUSE I RECENTLY GOT AN OIL CHANGE. THIS PLACE GAVE ME AN OIL CHANGE AND ONE MONTH LATER MY EQUINOX STARTED SHAKING AGAIN AND IS OUT OF OIL. AND LIKE OTHERS THE ENGINE NEVER TURNED ON! I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL ME I NEED REPAIRS COSTING $3500 TO GET NEW PISTONS/RINGS AMONG OTHER THINGS. WHILE THERE I TALK TO THE LADY NEXT TO ME. SHE HAS THE SAME VEHICLE SAME YEAR AND THE SAME PROBLEM. I LOOK AT CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND THEY SAY THE #1 PROBLEM WITH THE MODEL IS THIS. THE CHEVROLET EQUINOX 2013 MODEL YEAR IS RATED THE WORST YEAR FOR EQUINOX BECAUSE OF REPAIR COSTS. THE DEALERSHIP SOLUTION: BRING THE VEHICLE IN EVERY 1000 MILES TO GET MORE OIL. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN ONE? THE CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FIT THE BILL FOR $3400 FOR SOMETHING THE MANUFACTURER IS AT FAULT FOR. I PERSONALLY DO NOT SEE HOW I CAN BRING THE VEHICLE IN THAT OFTEN AS I DRIVE 60 MILES A DAY TO AND FROM WORK. ANY ASSISTANCE I CAN GET WOULD BE APPRECIATED. I AM STILL PAYING ON THIS VEHICLE!
