ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AND DOG IN THE CAR LATE AT NIGHT IN COLD ICIEY CONDITIONS IN WYOMING. CAR BEGAN TO LOSE POWER DRAMATICALLY, STEERING WAS TIGHT, LIGHTS DIMMED, ALSO ENGINE STALLED AFTER A BIT A OF A SLIDE AND SAFELY PULLING OVER. WE COULD HAVE WRECKED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE IN THE ICEY COLD TEMPERATURES. ENGINE LIGHT WAS ONE. TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON. DASH READS 'SERVICE STABILITRAK' AND 'ENGINE POWER REDUCED !'. I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO QUIT STALLING. I WASN'T SAFELY ABLE TO DRIVE IT. SO I THEN DID A ECU RESET. (DISCONNECT ECU AND BATTERY). SAT FOR 20 MINUTES. RESTARTED AND STILL SAME PROBLEM AFTER IT IDLED ROUGH FOR 5 MINUTES ROUGHLY. SO NEXT I DISCONNECTED THE ECU FUSE NUMBER 42 IN THE ENGINE FUSE BOX. I THEN TURNED KEY IN FIRST POSITION AND HAD SAME READINGS. NEXT I RESET THE CODE WITH MY OBD SCAN TOOL. REPEATED THE FUSE METHOD AGAIN... STILL SAME READING BUT WITHOUT STARTING THE MOTOR ONCE DURING THIS.... MY GUESS IS THE ECU IS VOLITIL TO THIS VEHICLE MOTOR CLASS. SERVICE BULLETIN STATES IT NEEDS A REFLASH. UPDATES FOR ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION AS WELL. VERY INTERESTING AS WE CONSUME TOO MUCH OIL. I BELIEVE ALL MOTOR ISSUES IN OUR VEHICLE WE HAVE NOW (WORN PISTON RINGS ETC) ARE DUE TO A FAULTY ECU. THE FACT THAT THE WARNING SHOWS WHEN RESET AND NOT CONNECTED BECAUSE THE FUSE IS REMOVED PROVES TO ME THE ECU IS HAVING SOFTWARE ISSUE IN RENDERING PROPER DIAGNOSTICS AS WELL AS SAFE ENGINE PERFORMANCE. THIS INCIDENT TOOK PLACE IN AUGUST OF 2017. PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS IN DRY CLIMATES WHERE WE LIVE IN TEXAS. SAME ISSUES. SAME SYMPTOMS. NEW SENSORS, BATTERY, SPARK PLUGS AND OIL CHANGE REGULARLY. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND WILL TAKE LIVES IF NOT RECALLED. IMAGINE DRIVING ON ICE WITH YOUR KIDS INSIDE AND THEN YOUR STEERING GOES OUT AND THE ENGINE LOSES POWER AND BRAKES.... IS THAT WHAT IT WILL TAKE?

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
EVER SINCE I HAVE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IT IS A LEMON. I HAVE ALL THE RECEIPTS AS WELL AS RESEARCH THAT GM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES AND EVERYONE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS MYSELF. FROM THE OIL CONSUMPTION AND STILL HAVING PROBLEMS AND EVEN SMELLS LIKE BURNING CAUSING ODOR WHICH IS VERY STRONG, STALLING ISSUES WHERE MY CAR HAS EVEN STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AFTER A NEW ENGINE WAS PUT IN, THE ENGINE TICKING STILL DOES AND STALLING EVEN WITH NEW ENGINE PUT IN HAVE VIDEO OF THE SOUNDS IT MAKES THAT THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON AFTER ALL THIS TIME AND THE CLATTERING NOISE WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED. I HAVE CONTACTED GM NUMEROUS TIMES BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH ME NOR MY CHILDREN IN THIS CAR. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND THEY STILL WON'T RECALL THE VEHICLE AND BE CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF THE CUSTOMER. I HAVE ALL MY RECEIPTS AS WELL AS ALL THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE AND EVEN THE DEALER KEEPS GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND WITH EVERYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND SAYS IT'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT ALL THE TIME JUST TO TRY AND GET MORE MONEY AND STILL HAVING TO TAKE IT IN THE SHOP BUT THIS TIME WAS TOLD OH IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BUT YET TRIED TO SAY IT WAS THE TIRES THIS TIME WHICH IT WASN'T BECAUSE THERE IS BRAND NEW TIRES ON IT. SO I HATE DRIVING THIS CAR EVEN TO WORK LET ALONE WITH MY CHILDREN BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL STOP AGAIN AND CAUSE ME TO WRECK OR GET HIT OR EVEN THE FUMES CAUSING PROBLEMS WHICH THEY DON'T NEED TO INHALE. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF ALL THE ISSUES I HAVE HAD AND STILL CONTINUE TO HAVE AND PROVIDE ME WITH A SAFER VEHICLE. I HAVE ALREADY FILED WITH THE BBB AND WILL BE SPEAKING WITH STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL AS WELL. IF NEED PROOF OF RECEIPTS I CAN FAX THOSE.

ENGINE
MY VEHICLE WAS BURNING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. I TOOK IT IN BECAUSE IT WAS RUNNING POORLY, THEY DISCOVERED IT WAS 3 QUARTS LOW ON OIL, AND THEN HAD ME TRACK MY OIL CONSUMPTION (BY CHECKING THE OIL ONCE A WEEK FOR 2,000 MILES). CHEVROLET HAD A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE (ONLY IF YOUR CAR WAS EXPERIENCING THIS) AND LUCKILY IT WAS COVERED TO BE FIXED. HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, I HAVE HAD OTHER ISSUES AND PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR. ALL DURING THE SAME TIME PERIOD, MY MANIFOLD CRACKED AND I NEED A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I DEFINITELY THINK (AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR AGREED) THAT THE REASON THAT MY EMISSIONS SYSTEM IS RUNNING INEFFICIENTLY, IS BECAUSE MY ENGINE WAS BURNING SO MUCH OIL. ALL OF THE OIL SOOT AND FUMES RUN THROUGH THE ENGINE AND EMISSION SYSTEM, THEREFORE CLOGGING UP MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER. SEEMS TO ME, THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL. I CAN UNDERSTAND IF IT WERE ON A CASE TO CASE BASIS (JUST LIKE THE OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL IS), BUT IT SHOULD BE REPLACED IF YOUR CAR IS EXPERIENCING THOSE ISSUES. ALL STEMMING BACK TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION.

POWER TRAIN
MY 2018 CHEVROLET EQUINOX HAS NOT BEEN SHIFTING INTO HIGH GEAR (6TH) FOR SEVERAL WEEKS NOW. I BROUGHT IT INTO A CHEVY DEALER NEAR ME, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A NORMAL CONDITION FOR THIS VEHICLE, WHEN THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 14 DEGREES.. THE SERVICE MANAGER CITED A GM TSB #18-NA-035. THIS TSB INSTRUCTS THE DEALER TO INFORM THE OWNER THAT THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING NORMALLY, AND INSTRUCTS THE DEALER NOT TO ATTEMPT ANY REPAIRS. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION TO ME. AT HIGHWAYS SPEEDS THE ENGINE RPM IS RUNNING HIGH AND NOISIER THAN NORMAL. THE GAS MILEAGE HAS ALSO DROPPED BY 10% TO 15%. I WAS NOT INFORMED BY GM OR THE DEALER WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE THAT HIGH GEAR WOULD BE DISABLED IN NORMAL MINNESOTA WINTER TEMPERATURES. I BELIEVE GM MISLED BUYERS OF THIS VEHICLE BY NOT INFORMING THEM OF THIS VEHICLE DEFECT, WHICH THEY HAD TO KNOW ABOUT, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS PROGRAMED TO DO THIS. ALSO ONCE THE TEMPERATURE DID GET ABOVE 14 DEGREES, THE VEHICLE STILL DID NOT SHIFT INTO 6TH GEAR. SEVERAL DAYS LATER WHEN THE TEMPERATURE WAS 36 DEGREES, THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY STARTED TO SHIFT NORMALLY. IF CHEVROLET DOES NOT HAVE A SUITABLE FIX FOR THIS I WILL REPORT THIS AS A "LEMON LAW" DEFECT IN MY VEHICLE.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE ON 2/1/18 MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON SO I PULLED OVER AS QUICK AS I COULD AND SHUT OFF THE CAR. I LIVE IN ND AND IT WAS BELOW ZERO AND IT HAS BEEN EXTREMELY COLD. NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED OR WHY THERE WAS A PILE OF OIL UNDER MY CAR I GOT IT TOWED TO THE SHOP TO FIND OUT MY REAR MAIN SEAL BLEW OUT. THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE ICE CRYSTALS AROUND THE MAIN SEAL AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD HAVE PREVENTED IT FROM HAPPENING. I PAID $1,700 TO GET IT FIXED AND THE SHOP SAID THAT THE ENGINE WAS STILL GOOD. WELL I PICKED IT UP FROM THE SHOP AND DROVE HOME (I LIVE 40 MILES OUT OF TOWN) AND IT SEEMED FINE. UNFORTUNATELY WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO WORK THE NEXT DAY, MIND YOU IT WAS STILL WELL BELOW ZERO DEGREES OUTSIDE, THE ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING AND I SHUT OF THE CAR AS FAST AS I COULD; I GOT STRANDED ALONG THE INTERSTATE AGAIN BUT THIS TIME WITH MY 6 MONTH OLD SON' SITTING IN THE FREEZING COLD WAITING FOR A RIDE' I AM STILL FURIOUS!! I GOT THE EQUINOX TOWED TO THE SHOP AGAIN TO FIND OUT THAT MY ENGINE IS NOW WRECKED. THERE IS ONLY 84,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS; HOPEFULLY CHEVROLET WILL KEEP ME AS A CUSTOMER AND PAY FOR THE ENGINE THAT GOT WRECKED BECAUSE OF THEIR FAULTY REAR MAIN SEAL THAT CAN'T PERFORM IN COLD WEATHER.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, STEERING
ON A COLD WINTER DAY APPROXIMATELY 20 DEGREES, I EXITED OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. UPON COMING TO A STOP AT THE TOLL PLAZA, THE CAR BEGAN MAKING A HORRIBLE CLANKING NOISE, THE 'ENGINE REDUCED POWER' NOTIFICATION APPEARED AS WELL AS THE TRACTION ACTIVATION. THE CAR DIED BUT STARTED BACK UP TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD TO SAFETY. HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND DISCOVERED THE PCV SYSTEM FROZE UP AND BLEW THE REAR MAIN SEAL. THE CAR HAD 103K MILES ON IT AT THE TIME AND WAS PURCHASED NEW. NEVER HAD A SINGLE PROBLEM WITH IT AND ALWAYS WE'LL MAINTAINED. ENDED UP HAVING TO REPLACE THE MOTOR TO THE TUNE OF $5,575. LESS THAN 24 HOURS AFTER PICKING IT UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP, IT WOULD NOT START. THE STABILITRACK AND POWER STEERING LIGHTS CAME ON AND HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, STEERING
I OWN A 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX LS AWD WITH ROUGHLY 86,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING BACK AN APPOINTMENT THIS MORNING, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND THE "ENGINE REDUCED POWER"/"SERVICE STABILITRAK SYSTEM" LIGHTS TURNED ON. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MORNING TRAFFIC THAT WAS GOING 70MPH (THE SPEED LIMIT) AND HIGHER. THE VEHICLE'S RPM REDUCED SUDDENLY AND DRASTICALLY, AND I WAS ONLY ABLE TO SUSTAIN 40MPH. I WAS ALONE. I COASTED OFF THE HIGHWAY AS QUICKLY AS I COULD, STOPPED AT THE MULTI-LANE INTERSECTION, AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I COULD NOT RESTART IT. IT WAS 9 DEGREES OUTSIDE WITH SNOW ON THE GROUND, AND THE HEAT STOPPED WORKING IN THE VEHICLE, TOO. THE POWER STEERING SHUT DOWN. I HAD TO WAIT OUTSIDE TO DIRECT TRAFFIC SO THAT I WOULD NOT GET HIT. IT WAS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. AFTER THE TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE MECHANIC NOTIFIED ME THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, QUOTING ME BETWEEN $2300 FOR A USED ENGINE AND $6500 FOR A NEW ONE. CORPORATE HAS ONLY OFFERED 10% COST SHARE FOR A NEW ENGINE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND A KNOWN ISSUE BASED ON CONSUMER COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ. THE COMPLAINTS ARE CONSISTENT AND POINT TO ENGINE FAILURE WITH TOTAL REPLACEMENT IN THE RANGE I WAS QUOTED. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE THE ENGINE, AND IT IS A SHAME THAT A VEHICLE WITH SO FEW MILES AND YEARS NEEDS THIS TYPE OF REPAIR! FURTHERMORE, I COULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED OR WORSE, AS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHERS! THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD NO COLLISIONS, NO MAJOR DAMAGES, AND I HAVE KEPT UP WITH ALL RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE. NOW I HAVE NO VEHICLE, NO POSSIBILITY TO RECOVER ITS VALUE, AND I AM DEVASTATED ABOUT THE FINANCIAL BLOW.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
INTERMITTENT LOSS OF SYSTEM HEAT. BLOWER WORKS BUT BLOWS FRIGID AIR INTO CABIN AND ONTO WINDSHIELD CAUSING FROSTING AND SAFETY ISSUE. CONTROLS DO NOT WORK TO CORRECT ISSUE. ACTUATOR DOORS EITHER DON'T MOVE OR MOVE RANDOMLY. NO CHANGE IN BLOWER AIR. AIR TEMP FEELS LIKE BELOW ZERO. NO WARNING OF CHANGE FROM HOT TO COLD AIR. VEHICLE CAN BE STATIONARY, IN MOTION, HIGHWAY SPEEDS, SIDE STREET SPEEDS, TURNING, STRAIGHT, IT DOESN'T MATTER. IN GOING TO DESTINATION HEAT STOPPED AND COLD AIR BLEW. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS. DEALER SAYS NOT CODING OR STORING CODES. MAIN COMPUTER DOESN'T SENSE THE PROBLEM. ACTUATORS RECALIBRATED ON FRIDAY, IT REOCCURRED ON SATURDAY. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE CONTROL SYSTEM BRAIN BUT DEALER UNWILLING TO DO REPAIRS. 2010 AND 2011 WERE THE WORST YEARS FOR ISSUES IN THESE VEHICLES. MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUES. DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T FIX IT IF IT DOESN'T DISPLAY CODES ACCORDING TO MY ALMOST $4000 WARRANTY SERVICE CONTRACT. I LOVE MY EQUINOX BUT I NEED IT FIXED AND WORKING. BROUGHT IT INTO DEALER ON FRIDAY, INTAKE PERSON ACTUALLY FELT THE FRIGID AIR COMING FROM BLOWER. NO AMOUNT OF FLIPPING SWITCHES, TURNING KNOBS OR PUSHING BUTTONS CORRECT THIS ISSUE. STILL THEY DON'T FIX IT BECAUSE OF NO CODES. I SAY MAIN COMPUTER IS MALFUNCTIONING BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SENSE THE PROBLEM THEREFORE IT DOESN'T SHOW CODES. DEALER ADMITS THERE IS AN ISSUE, JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. ON A PERSONAL NOTE, I AM A CANCER SURVIVOR AND HAVE MANY MEDICAL ISSUES, I ALSO TRANSPORT YOUNG CHILDREN IN MY VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE IS A HEALTH HAZARD TO MYSELF AND THEM.
