VISIBILITY/WIPER
WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AND WERE STUCK IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET DURING A HEAVY RAINSTORM. HAD TO CAREFULLY DRIVE TO WHERE I COULD GET THIS REPAIRED. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. HOPING IT WAS ONLY A BURNED OUT FUSE, UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS THE WIPER TRANSMISSION THAT WENT OUT. THE REPLACEMENT AND LABOR COST WAS $364.31.

2010 CHEVY EQUINOX WILL LOSE POWER AT ANY SPEED. I HAVE LOST POWER ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65MPH, LOCAL DRIVING AT 40MPH AS WELL AS STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. IT PRETTY MUCH JUST HAPPENS OUT OF THE BLUE ENDANGERING MY LIFE AS WELL AS THE VEHICLES AROUND ME. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON BUT DOES NOT STAY ON. IF I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF , IT WILL RESTART AND MAY RUN FINE FOR DAYS OR WEEKS AFTERWARD. I HAVE CONTACTED GM , BUT TO DATE HAVE NOT HAD THE ISSUE RESOLVED.

ENGINE
MY 2014 CHEVY EQUINOX BEGAN TO STALL WHENEVER I STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS MOSTLY WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY 45-50 MPH ROAD. IT WOULD SOUND LIKE IT WAS HAVING TROUBLE GETTING AIR SO TO SPEAK, AND TO STAY IDLE. IT WOULD SPUTTER AND THEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. IT WOULD START BACK UP WHEN I PUT IT INTO PARK AND TURN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. THIS BEGAN TO HAPPEN WITH MORE FREQUENCY. UPON READING MANY FORUMS WHERE PEOPLE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE, I LEARNED THAT THE CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR SOLENOID VALVE CAUSED THE PROBLEM ON EQUINOX SUVS PRODUCED FROM 2011 TO 2014. THE PART WAS RECALLED FOR THE 2011 MODELS BUT NOT THE 2014. THE VEHICLE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED WHEN MY MY SON REPLACE THE SOLENOID VALVE. I THINK THAT GM SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THIS PART FOR THE 2014 EQUINOX AS IT IS THE SAME PART.

SEAT BELTS
THE SEAT BELTS ARE DESIGNED SUCH THAT A SHORTER PERSON MUST WEAR THE BELT ACROSS THEIR NECK WHEN BUCKLED IN. THE ADJUSTMENT TO RAISE AND LOWER THE SEATBELT FROM THE WALL OF THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER INCLUDED IN THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS HAS BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE SHORTER DRIVER (INCLUDING STUDENT DRIVERS). IF AN INCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR THAT REQUIRED THE SEATBELT, I BELIEVE ADDITIONAL INJURY COULD RESULT TO THE NECK AND POSSIBLY SEVERE THAT OTHERWISE WOULDN'T OCCUR WITH PROPERLY FIT SEATBELTS.

SERVICE BRAKES
AT A LOW SPEED BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT STOPPING. IT SEEMED AS IF THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGED. NO BRAKES AS MY CAR CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD AT THIS LOW SPEED EVENTUALLY REAR ENDING ANOTHER CAR AS MINE NEVER STOPPED. THE BRAKES HAD JUST BEEN REPLACED 2 YEARS PRIOR. I HAD THIS CAR CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS SAME INCONSISTENT BRAKE ISSUE BUT NOTHING WAS NEVER FOUND. AT TIMES THERE WOULD BE A GRINDING NOISE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AND MY FOOT WOULD JUST GO TO THE FLOOR WITH NO STOPPING. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT GM HAS NEVER ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE. I HAVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY OVER THE YEARS TO TRY AND ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND NO MECHANIC COULD EVER FIGURE IT OUT. NOW MY CAR IS TOTALED AND I HAVE AN INSURANCE BILL THAT IS NOT ONLY COSTLY BUT NOT FAIR. GM SEEMS TO HAVE TAKEN NO ACCOUNTABILITY AND I JUST HOPE NO ONE ENDS UP HURT. I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE IF I WAS TRYING TO STOP AT A CROSSWALK WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED. I WAS BORROWING MY GRANDFATHERS CAR AND FEEL TERRIBLE.
