VISIBILITY/WIPER
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE MALFUNCTIONED, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT ALMOST CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN TRYING TO CHANGE LANES. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO CHECK THE WIPER. THE CONTACT CALLED BICAL CHEVROLET OF VALLEY STREAM (709 W MERRICK RD, VALLEY STREAM, NY 11580, (516) 285-6500), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD BE SENDING A CASE NUMBER, WHICH HAD NOT BEEN RECEIVED YET. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY FIANC BOUGHT HER 2011 EQUINOX USED FROM A LOCAL DEALER. SHE BOUGHT THE 4 CYLINDER WITH 2 WHEEL DRIVE. I THINK IT'S THE PLAIN EDITION? ANYWAYS IT WASN'T LONG AFTER BUYING IT THAT IT STARTED MAKING NOISES THAT SOUNDED LIKE THE VEHICLE WAS GOING TO RADDLE APART ANY MIN. FROM DAY ONE IT GOES THROUGH OIL LIKE CRAZY! IT SEEMS LIKE I PUT MORE OIL IN THEN FUEL. THEN SHE WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK ONE DAY AND THE TRANNY STOPPED WORKING. PUSHING ON THE GAS ONLY MADE RPS GO UP, LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. SO WE TOWED IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WITH A GREAT REPUTATION. IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR THEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND TELL US THE BAD NEWS. WHOLE TRANNY NEEDED TO BE DONE AND THE BILL WASN'T GOING TO BE CHEAP. IT ENDED UP COSTING US AROUND 3700 DOLLARS AFTER IT WAS ALL SAID AND DONE. FEW WEEK WENT BY AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. SO WE BROUGHT IT BACK AND MORE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THANK THE LIARS THE SHOP GUARANTEES THEIR WORK BECAUSE THEY TOOK IT FOR ANOTHER WEEK. WE GOT IT BACK A RIGHT AWAY IT WAS SLIPPING GOING INTO 3RD EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE. ONCE AGAIN WE HAD ISSUES WITH IF AND THIS TIME THE GUY SAID HE GOING TO ORDER SOME AFTERMARKET PARTS INSTEAD OF USING THE CHEAP FACTORY CRAP! THE TRANNY HAS WORKED SINCE THEN BUT I KNOW THAT IT'S NOT WORKING PERFECT EITHER. SINCE THEN WE HAVE HAD TO DUMP ANOTHER FEW THOUSAND REPLACING GASKETS, THE TIMING CHAIN, AND EXHAUST MANIFOLD. NOW A NEW PROBLEM JUST CAME UP AND THE CENTER DASH WENT BLANK AND NOTHING WORKS ON IT. THE DISPLAY IS BLANK, NO RADIO, CAN'T ADJUST AIR FLOW AND ALL INTERIOR SOUND STOP MAKING NOISES. LIKE THE TICKING OF THE BLINKER OR DINGING ARE JUST NOT WORKING! WE COULD HAVE THE CAR PAID OFF WITH THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE SUNK IN HER CAR!! I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS VEHICUL AND FEEL HELPLESS. WE STILL OWN ON THE CAR AND I DONT THINK IT WILL EVER BE PAID OFF BEFORE IT DIES FOR GOOD!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT ACCURATELY REGISTER THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN FUEL TANK. WILL NOT REGISTER "FULL" EVEN WHEN FUEL IS FLOWING OUT OF FILLER TUBE. WHEN GAUGE BEGINS TO REGISTER "EMPTY" AND DISTANCE REMAINING APPROACHES "0", IT TAKE LESS THAN 10 GALLONS TO FILL THE 15 GALLON TANK. THIS CREATES THE SITUATION WHERE THE DRIVER POTENTIALLY DRIVES THE VEHICLE ON REMAINING FUEL AND THEN RUNS OUT BECAUSE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO DETERMINE ACTUAL QUANTITY OF FUEL REMAINING. THIS HAS POTENTIAL TO CREATE A HAZARDOUS SITUATION IF IT OCCURS ON A CONGESTED FREEWAY/INTERSTATE, OR A DIRE SITUATION IF IT OCCURS IN AN UNPOPULATED AREA REMOVED FROM AVAILABLE GAS STATIONS. IT CREATES AN UNCERTAIN SITUATION HERE IN WEST TEXAS WHERE THERE ARE LARGE STRETCHES OF HIGHWAY BETWEEN COMMUNITIES. CHEVROLET/GM HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEM SINCE JULY 2017 AND HAS STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK MUST BE DROPPED AND FUEL SENSOR RESEATED OR REPLACED, YET THEY ARE DOING NOTHING TO ACT UPON THAT CORRECTIVE ACTION. I HAVE OPENED TWO CUSTOMER CASES WITH CHEVROLET IN AN ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE, AND EACH TIME THE CASES ARE CLOSED WITH COMMENT THAT "...ENGINEERS ARE WORKING...."

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE TRAVELLING DOWN HIGHWAY I HEARD A CLICK AND THE HEADLIGHTS AND HEATER TURNED OFF BY THEMSELVES. WAS UNABLE TO TURN THEM ON. THANK GOD I WAS ON A STRAIGHT STRIP AND NOT A CURVE. CONTACTED ON STAR. FIGURED OUT THAT THE HIGH BEAMS COULD BE ACTIVATED BY HOLDING THE HIGH BEAM SWITCH TOWARD ME WHILE DRIVING. DROVE HOME DRIVING WITH ONE HAND AND HOLDING HIGH BEAM SWITCH WITH OTHER. WHEN I RETURNED HOME I TURNED THE CAR OFF. I WONDERED IF THE CAR WOULD START SO I TURNED IT OVER AND THE HEADLIGHTS AND HEATER CAME BACK ON.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX WITH HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES I BEEN MAINTAINING TO AVOID ENGINE ISSUES. CHEVY WILL CHECK HOWEVER WANTS ME TO PAY FOR OIL CHANGE TEST AND SAID THEY WILL CHARGE ME IF THEY FEEL THE ENGINE HAS ISSUES DUE TO POOR MAINTENANCE. THE HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION IS CAUSING THIS AND APPEARS AS A WAY TO TURN CUSTOMERS AWAY TO AVOID COSTS TO THEM. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE.

POWER TRAIN
WHEN PARKING THE CAR IN THE PARKING LOT, I TURNED THE CAR OFF WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, DIDN'T NOTICE I HAD NOT PUT CAR IN PARK AND WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE IT ROLLED BACKWARDS. I QUICKLY PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. THANKFULLY I WAS IN AN AREA WHERE NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME. I WAS SHOCKED THAT THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGES WHEN THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THIS IS A NORMAL. AFTER LOOKING AT RECALLS ON PREVIOUS MODELS, I SAW A RECALL FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM ON SOME 2015-2017 CHEVROLET VEHICLES. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED I THOUGHT I IMAGINED IT. SO I TRIED IT YESTERDAY IN THE DRIVEWAY AND SURE ENOUGH IF THE CAR ISN'T IN PARK AND YOU TURN THE ENGINE OFF THE CAR WILL ROLL.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A VEHICLE AT FELDMAN CHEVROLET IN NEW HUDSON MI ( LOCATED AT 30400 LYON CENTER DRIVE E, NEW HUDSON< MI 48165 : 248-573-0321 ) I PURCHASED A 2018 CHEVY EQUINOX ( VIN [XXX] ) THE WEEK OF THANKSGIVING 2017 I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THURSDAY 2/15/2018 WHEN MY SOLID STATE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I IMMEDIATE HIT THE ONSTAR AND THEY GAVE ME A CODE OF P3055 AND TOLD ME TO TAKE TO THE DEALER WITHIN 7 DAYS. . I WAS TOLD IT WAS A ' VOLTAGE COMMUNICATION ' ISSUE AND THAT I SHOULD BE ALL SET, IT WAS RESOLVED. THE FOLLOWING 2/21/2018, WHILE OUT AT LUNCH DURING MY WORK DAY, THE SOLID STATE CHECK ENGINE LINE ILLUMINATED YET A 2ND TIME. THIS TIME THEY SAID MY VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW ' ENGINE CONTROL MODULE ' - THAT WAS REPAIRED, APPROX. 2 WEEKS LATER, MY " SERVICE ESC BRAKE/ TRACTION CONTROL CAME ON" AND WOULD NOT GO OFF, THEY HAD THE VEHICLE A WEEK AND DETERMINED IT WAS A GROUND SHORT. HERE IT IS 3/23/2018 AND A 4TH TIME MY CAR IS AT THE DEALER, ESC/ TRACTION CONTROL AGAIN. 4 TIMES IN 5 WEEKS MY VEHICLE HAS NOW BEEN IN TO THE DEALERSHIP, AT 8,000 MILES .RIDICULOUS- ALL OF THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VISIBILITY/WIPER
WIPER BLADE MOTOR STOPPED WORKING IN A HEAVY DOWNPOUR. I WAS ON A ROAD I KNOW SO WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF SAFELY. IF I DIDN'T KNOW THIS ROAD I AM POSITIVE I WOULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT. THE MANIFOLD WAS CHANGED IN 2013. TODAY IS MARCH 22, 2018. LAST WEEK I HAD THE MANIFOLD CHANGED AGAIN. CRACKED AGAIN. THERE WERE FUMES COMING INTO THE PASSENGER AREA. THE CAR IS IN THE REPAIR GARAGE AGAIN BECAUSE THE FUMES ARE EVEN WORSE. THE CAR HAS ALWAYS HAD A LOUD TICKING SOUND. IT USES A LOT OF OIL. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER BEFORE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT. THEY DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND SAID THE OIL USE WAS WITHIN NORMAL RANGE. HOW CAN THIS BE NORMAL RANGE WHEN I PUT A COUPLE QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 200 MILES. THIS CAR IS JUNK.

MY KEY COMES OUT OF THE IGNITION NO MATTER WHAT GEAR IT IS IN. THE VEHICLE JUST SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING AS I WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN ON A CITY STREET. I AM NOW UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. THE KEY IS ALSO TOUGH TO PULL OUT SOMETIMES.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MY 2018 CHEVY EQUINOX WITH THE 1.5L TURBO ENGINE FAILS TO SHIFT INTO 6TH GEAR WHEN THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 14 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE FIRST RESPONSE I GOT WAS "THIS IS NORMAL FOR THIS VEHICLE, JUST DRIVE IT AS NORMAL". WHERE I LIVE THE TEMPERATURE IS VERY OFTEN BELOW 14 DEGREES IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY. DRIVING AT HWY SPEEDS, THE ENGINE IS OFTEN RUNNING 3400 RPM OR HIGHER LOCKED IN 5TH GEAR. I HAVE DRIVEN THOUSANDS OF MILES THIS WINTER IN THIS CONDITION. THIS IS NOT NORMAL TO ME, AND THE INCREASED FUEL CONSUMPTION, ENGINE NOISE AND WEAR ON THE VEHICLE ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ME. IN ADDITION I WAS TOLD BY DEALER SERVICE, THAT 6TH GEAR WOULD RETURN AS SOON AS THE TEMPERATURE ROSE ABOVE 14 DEGREES. IT DID NOT RETURN UNTIL THE TEMPERATURE WAS ABOVE 32 DEGREES. ANOTHER TRIP BACK TO THE DEALER, AND THEY REPLACED THE "CHARGED AIR COOLER". THIS WORKED ONLY UNTIL THE TEMPERATURE DROPPED BELOW 14 DEGREES AGAIN. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT A FIX. I HAD FILED AN ONLINE COMPLAINT WITH GM, AND WAS SHORTLY UPGRADED TO A "SENIOR CUSTOMER SERVICE CONSULTANT". THIS CONSULTANT AIDED IN THE REPLACEMENT OF THE COOLER, BUT NEVER FOLLOWED UP WITH ME. WHEN I CALLED BACK TO TELL THEM THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED, I WAS TOLD MY CASE WAS CLOSED. GREAT SERVICE THERE GM. CLOSE THE COMPLAINT WITHOUT EVEN TALKING TO THE CONSUMER. MY TAKE ON THIS AFTER THE LAST 2 MONTHS OF ISSUES, IS THAT GM KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS RELEASED. THE TRANSMISSION IS PROGRAMMED NOT TO SHIFT INTO TOP GEAR BELOW 14 DEGREES AS AN INEPT ATTEMPT TO PREVENT CONDENSATION FROM FREEZING IN THE "CHARGED AIR COOLER". EVEN THOUGH GM KNEW THIS BEFORE THEY SOLD THE VEHICLE IN NORTHERN CLIMATES, THEY DID NOT INFORM THE BUYERS OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS WILL POTENTIALLY AFFECT ALL GM VEHICLES WITH EITHER THE 1.4 OR 1.5L GAS ENGINE AND 6 SPD. TRANNNY.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I PARKED MY CAR ON MONDAY NIGHT AND HEARD A RATTLING NOISE AND THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS KNOCKING. I TURNED IT ON AND OFF AND IT STARTED AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY I GET IN TO TAKE MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN TO SCHOOL AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START. I CALLED THE DEALER AND HAD THE CAR TOWED AND THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE. THE VEHICLE HAS 58,352 MILES SO IT AS FAR I KNOW IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AS I HAVE LESS THAT 100,000 MILES AND ITS ONLY 3 YRS OLD SINCE I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. WELL GM WILL NOT COVER THE MOTOR BECAUSE I DIDN'T TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE OIL CHANGES DONE. SINCE THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF THE OIL CHANGES DESPITE THAT FACT THAT I DID THEM EVERY 3000 MILES AS RECOMMENDED THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME A NEW MOTOR YET I STILL HAVE TO PAY $510 A MONTH FOR A CAR THAT I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE. GRAY CHEVROLET IS THE DEALER THE CAR IS AT AND THEY ARE THE WORST. GM DOESN'T HONOR THEIR WARRANTIES AND SHOULD BE PUT OUT OF BUSINESS. I WILL NEVER EVER BUY A GM VEHICLE EVER AGAIN. WHY WAS THERE NO LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD PRIOR? HOW DO I NEED A MOTOR OVER NIGHT WHEN I HAD NO PROBLEMS PREVIOUSLY? WHY IS THAT GM WILL NOT HONOR THEIR WARRANTY OR AT LEAST SEND SOMEONE TO THE DEALER TO INVESTIGATE? WHY WON'T GM AT LEAST CALL GRAY CHEVROLET TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED AS OPPOSED TO READING SOMETHING TO ME FROM A COMPUTER SCREEN? WHY WOULD THEY NOT TRY TO ASSIST THEIR CUSTOMERS? IM STRANDED WITH 2 KIDS AND NO ONE CARE. DON'T EVER BY ANY VEHICLE FROM GM!!!!!!!!

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
IN THE MIDDLE OF ACCELERATING OUT OF A PARKING LOT INTO TWO WAY TRAFFIC,VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE AND IN MOTION, THE VEHICLE QUIT ACCELERATING TO A STOP AND ACTED AS THOUGH IT WAS IN NEUTRAL EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN DRIVE. NO ENGINE REVVING SOUND (ENGINE SOUNDED "NORMAL") WHEN ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED (TO THE FLOOR), AND VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS (DUE TO SLOPE NATURE OF PARKING LOT) EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, HOPING IT WOULD "RESET" , THEN PUT BACK INTO DRIVE WITH NO FORWARD MOTION OR ENGINE REVVING WHEN ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED. I THEN PUT THE VEHICLE BACK INTO PARK AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE I WAS ABLE TO APPROPRIATELY ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE.

THE CAR HAS ONLY 82,000 MILES AND THE TIMING CHAIN IS SHOT. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE EQUINOX CAUSED BY BAD VALVE RINGS WHICH GM ADMITS TO BUT WON'T FIX RINGS WITHOUT AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST OF 3,000 MILES. I'VE ADDED 3 QUARTS OF OIL SINCE THE LAST OIL CHANGE (ONLY 2,000 MILES AGO). THERE IS NO OIL LEAK. THE DEALER (ATLANTIC CHEVROLET, BAYSHORE, NY) HAS HAD MY CAR FOR 3 DAYS BUT WON'T REPAIR THE TIMING CHAIN WITHOUT A GO AHEAD FROM GM WHICH THEY SAY WILL REQUIRE 2 MORE DAYS! THEY NEED TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX RINGS AND TIMING CHAINS WITHOUT MAKING CUSTOMERS JUMP THROUGH SO MANY HOOPS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
2018 EQUINOX LCD SCREEN GETS STUCK IN BRIGHT MODE. UPON INITIATION OF THE BACKUP CAMERA THE LCD STAYS BRIGHT FOR AS LONG AS THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. NIGHTTIME DRIVING IS EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE. IF THE RADIO IS RESET (HOLD DOWN HOME AND FAST FORWARD, OR TURNING OFF VEHICLE FOR THE PERIOD OF TIME IT TAKES TO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN RADIO) IT WILL STAY IN THE PROPER DIM SETTING UNTIL THE BACKUP CAMERA IS INITIATED AGAIN. I HAVE TESTED THIS ON SEVERAL 2018 EQUINOX CARS AND FOUND THIS TO BE A MALFUNCTION. MUST VIEW PROBLEM AT NIGHT TO SEE HAZARD. I HAD A SERVICE CALL TO MARK PORTER CHEVROLET, POMEROY, OH, AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM AND INSTRUCTED ME TO WAIT FOR A FIX FROM CHEVROLET ITSELF.

MY CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND I HAD TO SIT THERE FOR A A LITTLE WHILE BEFORE IT STARTED BACK. THE CAR STARTED BACK. I DROVE THE CAR A LITTLE OVER A 1/.2 OF MILE AND IT STOPPED AGAIN. I STOPPED AND AND SAT AND CRANKED IT BACK UP. I MADE IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP TO BE TOLD MY TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. THE CAR ONLY HAS 116,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 2 AIR COMPRESSORS ON THE CAR. THE CAR HAS ALSO DID AN AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN ON ME. I HAVE HAD TO TOW THIS CAR 4 TIMES. I THINK THE 2010 EQUINOX IS A FAULTY CAR AND IS UNSAFE FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES TO BE RIDING AROUND IN. THE LAST ACCIDENT HAPPEN ON A BUSY INTERSECTION WITH ME AND MY HUSBAND WE COULD HAVE BEEN HURT WITH ALL THE MAJOR TRAFFIC COMING IN OUR DIRECTIONS.

VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING STALLING CONDITIONS IN WET WEATHER, DEALER REPLACED A CAM POSITION SENSOR. TODAY AFTER TAKING THE CAR THROUGH A CAR WASH UPON STARTING THE ENGINE IT WENT INTO WIDE OPEN THROTTLE CONDITION, OVER 6000 RPM. AT FIRST I WAS STANDING ON THE BRAKES TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING OUT OF CONTROL. AFTER 10 MINUTES THE IDLE DROPPED TO NORMAL AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR HOME.
