ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WITH OUT WARNING MY WIFES CAR WENT INTO ENGINE POWER FAILURE MODE. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO MORE THEN 10 MPH. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FOUR QUARTS LOW OF ITS MOTOR OIL. THEY THEN ASKED ME FOR ALL THE SERVICE RECORDS I HAD TO ESTABLISH A HISTORY. THEY HAD THE OIL CHANGES THAT I DID FROM THE DEALER, ONE FROM A WELL KNOW AUTO MERCHANDISER AND BECAUSE I DID THE MOST RECENT ONE MYSELF, THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT THAT ONE BECAUSE THERE IS NO DOCUMENTATION OF ME DOING IT AND HENCE THE VEHICLES POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WILL NOT BE HONORED. THE CAR IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD AND HAS 75000 MILES ON IT. NO INDICATION OF ANY ISSUES WERE PRESENT AT ANYTIME WITH THIS VEHICLE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
STABILITY TRACTION SERVICE LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY COMES ON AND EVENTUALLY GOES OFF. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. IT HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS, MOUNTAIN AND HILLS WITH MANY CURVES, HIGHWAYS AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED THROUGH A DEALERSHIP IN JANUARY OF 2018 AND I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE THEN. IT DOES NOT SHOW UP ON MY ONSTAR DIAGNOSTIC THAT I RECEIVE MONTHLY. I COMPLAINED TO THE CEO OF GM. AND DID GET A RESPONSE. THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT I SPOKE WITH CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY WOULD CHECK THE PROBLEM FREE. BUT THEY WOULD NOT. I SAW OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS THAT HAVE PAID A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND NO ONE HAS FIGURED OUT WHAT IS CAUSING IT. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTATGATION REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY FEEDBACK CONCERNING THE THE STABILITY TRACTION SERVICE LIGHT ON THE CHEVY EQUINOX. THANK YOU

ENGINE
GOT OIL CHANGE AT CHEVY IN MARCH 2018, STOPPED DRIVING APRIL 4 BECAUSE OF MATERNITY LEAVE. STARTED DRIVING IN LATE MAY AND MY CAR STARTS DYING RANDOMLY WHEN IDLING AT STOP LIGHTS. THEN CHECK ENGINE GOES ON. I CALL CHEVY AND MY WARRANTY WAS UP IN LATE APRIL. I PLEED STATING I WAS ON MATERNITY AND DOCTOR ORDER TO NOT DRIVE. THEY WOULD NOT BUSGE. SO MY HUSBAND WHO IS A MECHANIC CHECKS CHANGES THE OIL, IT'S BONE DRY, AS IF THEY HAD NEVER CHANGED IT. KEEP IN MIND I HAD TAKEN IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND BARELY DROVE THE CAR SINCE. SO HE FLUSHED THE ENGINE WITH OIL A FEW TIMES TO REALLY CLEAN IT OUT, CHANGES THE FILTER, AND THEN FILLS HER UP. THE CODES AND ALL DATA AND REPLACES THE INTAKE AND EHAUST SOLENOIDS...STILL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND CAR DIES AT IDLE. WE SUSPECT OIL EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION BROKE THE TIMING CHAIN GUIDES, BUT WILL NOT KNOW UNTIL HE CAN TAKE APART THE ENGINE. UNTIL THEN I AM CHECKING OIL WEEKLY AND FILLING OIL ABOUT EVERY 3 WEEKS. THIS OIL CONSUMPTION IS ABSURD. I AM FILING A COMPLAINT WITH YOURLEMONLAWRIGHTS.COM

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 10 MONTHS AND IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP MORE THAN ANYTHING. IT'S ALREADY ON ITS SECOND ENGINE AND THAT WAS SEPTEMBER 14TH, NOW OCTOBER 23RD IT IS NOW NEEDING A TRANSMISSION. THIS DOESN'T INCLUDE THE UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT OF OIL CHANGES AND TUNE UPS. I'VE STALLED IN REVERSE AND DRIVE. THE CAR DIED OUT WHILE DRIVING AND IS EXTREMELY LOUD AT TIMES. ALL I HAVE FOR DOCUMENTS ARE MY RECEIPTS. I'M DISABLED WITH CHILDREN AND WHEN I THOUGHT WE WERE BUYING A CAR WE BOUGHT A LOT OF PROBLEMS INSTEAD. CONSTANTLY TRYING TO STILL FIND RIDES TO DR APPTS AND SUCH. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT A RECALL HASN'T BEEN DONE YET, AFTER THE ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON SAID VEHICLE.

ENGINE
THIS IS A SAFETY COMPLAINT. I CARRY MY GRAND KIDS AND AM WORRIED FOR OUR SAFETY. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED DUE TO THE VERY LOW MILEAGE AND AM TRYING TO BE PROACTIVE. I KNOW OF MANY MANY HAPPENINGS. THE CARS STARTING AT ~ 5000 MILES WILL STALL OUT AT SIGNALS & ON THE ROAD. THIS WILL PROBABLY HAPPEN TO ME WHEN I REACH 5K MILES.THE CAR HAS A DEFECTIVE ENGINE THAT GM CANNOT FIX. I'M AFRAID OF A REAR END COLLISION AND FIRE. THE CAR NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. THANK YOU FOR READING THIS AND HOPE IT GETS RECTIFIED ASAP.
