ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
FIRST ONE WEEK AGO, THE CAR WAS SLOW TO TURN ON WHEN TURNING THE IGNITION AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LITE UP WITH THE MESSAGE CHECK POWER STEERING.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FOLLOWED BY SERVICE POWER STEERING, SERVICE STABILTRACK MESSAGE, ELECTRIC WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL UP, SPEEDOMETER AND RPM GAUGES MOVE ALL THE WAY OVER AND BACK, AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE ELECTRIC PANEL ARE ON. ENGINE WILL NOT TURN ON.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH THE WIPERS SUDDENLY JERKED LEFT AND STOPPED WORKING. ONE WIPER WAS OFF THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND THE OTHER WAS STOPPED IN FRONT OF MY FACE. VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE NOT ONLY WAS THERE RAIN POURING DOWN, THERE WAS A WIPER RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME BLOCKING MY VIEW. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND MOVE THE WIPERS TO THEIR NORMAL OFF POSITION BUT THEY NO LONGER FUNCTIONED. A NEW WIPER TRANSMISSION WAS REQUIRED. THE US RECALL FOR 2013 ONLY NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO MATCH THE RECALL IN CANADA. DEFINITELY A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VISIBILITY/WIPER
LET ME START OFF BY SAYING THAT I AM ONE OF MANY HAVING THE SAME TROUBLE WITH MY 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX. ON JAN. 21, 2015 I WAS HIT BY A YOUNG DRIVER TOTALING MY 2002 S10 CREW CAB. I FEEL THIS TRUCK SAVED MY LIFE. IN NEED OF A SAFE VEHICLE I FOUND MYSELF AT BOWMAN CHEVROLET PURCHASING A CERTIFIED 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX WITH LESS THAN 41000 MILES. AT THAT TIME I RECEIVED 24 MONTHS OF OIL CHANGES/ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PLUS ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE AND BUMPER TO BUMPER FOR 12MONTHS. THIS VEHICLE SEEMED GREAT TILL MY FIRST OIL CHANGE AND MAINTENANCE. IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE SERVICED. I APPARENTLY BOUGHT A CANADIAN VEHICLE. CALLED BOWMAN ABOUT THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT BACK TO THEM ( OVER AN HR FROM HOME) AT THIS TIME I MENTIONED A FEW THINGS I FELT WERE ISSUES (MY CAR WOULD RUN ON AFTER SHUT OFF, WOULD ROLL BACKWARDS IN DRIVE AND SHIFTING WOULD PAUSE BETWEEN GEARS). ABOUT A MONTH LATER I GOT MY CAR BACK, NEW DASHBOARD WITH A FEW SCRATCHES AND A GOOD CHIP IN THE WINDSHIELD. WASN'T HAPPY BUT THEY SAID ALL WAS GOOD. UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I HAD TO TAKE IT IN, STILL HAVING RUN ONS WHEN I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND SHIFTING PROBLEMS ALONG WITH A FEW MINOR THINGS( I WAS TOLD WAS NOT COVERED BUT SHOULD HAVE BEEN STILL UNDER WHAT I WAS PROMISED BY THE 12 MONTHS BUMPER TO BUMPER) OVER THE NEXT 21 MONTHS OF MY WARRANTIES I CONTINUED TO HAVE MANY ISSUES WITH MY CAR. NEVER FULLY FIXED EACH TIME I TOOK IT IN AND BEING TOLD MANY TIMES THEY WONT DO THE RECALLS BECAUSE ITS ON A CANADIAN CAR NOT MY NOW AMERICAN CAR. ON JULY 13, 2017 DRIVING ON 96 IN CONSTRUCTION AND RUSH HR TRAFFIC WITH MY GRANDSON THE TRANSMISSION WAS LOSING GEARS AT ONE POINT THE CAR STOPPED ABRUPTLY. WE BARELY MADE IT HOME! DROVE IT TO DEALER NEXT MORNING ONLY HAD 1ST GEAR. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. HELP US ALL!

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
"TAKATA RECALL" WHILE DRIVING AND APPROACHING A STOP SIGN ON A CITY STREET IN TOWN, THE CAR STARTED AGGRESSIVELY SHAKING AND SEVERAL LIGHTS TURNED ON - SERVICE STABILITRACK, ENGINE POWER REDUCED MODE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT- THANKFULLY WE WERE ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF THE ROAD AS THE CAR WOULD NOT EXCEED 25MPH. AFTER THE FIRST TIME WE TOOK IT IN AND THEY FLUSHED THE THROTTLE BODY. LESS THAN 2 MOTHS LATER THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN. TOOK IT BACK IN AND THEY COMPLETELY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. HERE WE ARE A FEW MONTHS LATER AND NOW THE CAR WILL NOT EVEN START WITH THE SAME ICONS APPEARING ON THE DASH! IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH AND IT KICK ME DOWN TO 25 MPH THAT IS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
OUR DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HOME BETWEEN MEMPHIS, TN AND NASHVILLE, TN, DURING A THUNDERSTORM. HER WIPERS AT FULL BLAST, WENT TO THE LEFT AND STOPPED! ALL SHE COULD DO IS PULL OVER AND WAIT UNTIL, THE STORM PASSED. AS PARENTS, LAST THING YOU WANT TO HEAR IS YOUR 25 YEAR DAUGHTER IS SITTING ON THE SIDE OF I40 AT NIGHT UNABLE TO TRAVEL AND WE LIVE 8 HOURS AWAY! THE NEXT MORNING SHE CHECKED THE WIPERS, NOPE, NA-DA. SAID SHE CAN HEAR THE MOTOR HUMMING, BUT NOTHING IS WORKING. EVERYONE NEAR HER WANTS 350.00 + TO REPLACE IT.... THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY FOR A GRADUATE STUDENT! SEEMS TO BE A REOCCURRING PROBLEM GM, YOU NEED TO DO THE RIGHT THING!
