POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT A 2010 EQUINOX NEW, AT 49,000 MILES THE TRANSFER CASE WENT OUT OF IT AND NOW 6 MONTHS LATER AT 55,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT IT WAS THE 3-5 REVERVSE WAVE PLATE WE WERE TOLD THAT SHATTERED. AND SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY OF COURSE GM WOULD NOT HONOR TO GET THIS PLATE FIXED EVEN THOUGH IT ONLY HAD 55,000 MILES ON IT. WE WERE TOLD THESE PLATES WHEN THEY WERE HARDEN THEY WERE HARDEN TO HARD AND SO THEY SHATTER. THIS IS DEFIANTLY A GM ISSUE AND THEY SHOULD REPAIR THESE AT NO COST BUT THEY WON'T ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THIS TRANSMISSION JUST HAPPENED ALL AT ONCE I PUT IT IN GEAR AND THERE IT WENT OUT. IF GM IS GOING TO BUILD A THROW AWAY CAR AT 50,000 MILES THEN THEY SHOULD SELL IT AS A THROW AWAY CAR. THEY KNOW THEY HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS BUT THEY KEEP SOCKING THE CONSUMER FOR COSTLY REPAIRS BECAUSE ALL THEY CAN SAY IS IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. YOU WOULD THINK YOUR CAR WOULD LAST MORE THAN 55,000 MILES.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE I COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER CAR. THE FRONT END OF MY CAR WAS COMPLETED DAMAGED TO THE POINT WHERE THE CAR WAS TOTALED. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS ACCIDENT WAS THE AIR BAGS DID NOT GO OFF CAUSING INJURY TO MYSELF AND MY WIFE. I ESTIMATE THE SPEED AT COLLISION TO BE AROUND 30MPH. I WAS TRAVELING WEST BOUND AT ABOUT 630PM IN THE EVENING, ON A FOUR LANE CITY ROAD WITH A CENTER TURN LANE. I WAS IN MY LANE AND FAILED TO STOP BEFORE HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. MY WIFE SPOKE WITH THE REPAIR SHOP CLERK WHO INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH MANY EQUINOX'S UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS. I BELIEVE THE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF AND THEREFORE I

I HAVE LIVED ON SHEADS MOUNTAIN RD FOR 3 YEARS NOW. IN THAT 3 YEARS WE HAVE HAD 9 FLAT TIRES AND ALL OF THEM HAVE HAD ROCKS IN THEM AND MOST OF THEM WE HAVE HAD TO GET NEW TIRES BECAUSE THIS ROAD IS SO BAD AND THEY COULD NOT PLUG OR PATCH THEM.MY HUSBAND WORKS FOR ESCAVATING COMPANY FOR 28 YEARS AND ISINCE WE HAVE LIVED HERE THEY HAVE NEVER GRADED THIS ROAD! I HAVE SENT SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND HAVE EVEN CALLED AND TALKED WITH VDOT AND HAVE NEVER GOTTEN ANYWHERE. I HAVE A BRAND NEW 2016 SUV WITH 13,000 MILES ON IT AND IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS HAVE HAD TO GET 2 BRAND NEW TIRES. I FILED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A CLAIM ALREADY BUT IT WAS JUST A ROAD COMPLAINT AND GOT A CALL FROM MIKE BAILY AND WHEN I WENT INTO DETAIL ABOUT MY COMPLAINT AND THAT I WAS GETTING A LAWYER AND I WAS TIRED OF THESE ROAD CONDITIONS THE VERY NEXT DAY THEY CAME OUT AND ACTUALLY GRADED THE ROAD INSTEAD OF JUST THROWING STONE DOWN ON ITT LIKE THEY USUALLY DO. THE WASHBOARDS WERE SO BAD YOU LITERALLY HAD TO DRIVE 5 MPH AND STILL YOU ABOUT WENT INTO THE DITCH WHICH IS DANGEROUS IN ITSELF BECAUSE THE DITCH LINE WAS SO DEEP. I AM SUBMITTING A CLAIM FOR BOTH OF MY TIRES AND I HAVE A PICTURE OF ONE OF THEM WITH THE ROCK.

AIR BAG INDICATOR ON/OFF ON DASH WORKS PART OF THE TIME WHEN RIGHT SEAT IS OCCUPIED SO I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT THE RIGHT AIR BAG IS NOT ACTIVATED WHEN THE LIGHT IS SHOWING OFF. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THE 2007 EQUINOX HAD A RECALL ON BUT ALL SAFETY COMPLAINTS ON THE 08 HAVE BEEN OVERLOOKED, COST OF REPAIRS ARE AROUND A $1,000.00. SINCE IT HAD BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL FOR THE 08 MODEL?

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. EVERY 1,000 MILES OR LESS I NEED TO ADD AT LEAST 1 QUART OF OIL. NO OIL LEAK. HUBLER CHEVROLET IN INDIANAPOLIS HAS INVESTIGATED THE ISSUE. THEY ALSO INDICATED NO LEAK AND THAT THE VEHICLE IS CONSUMING EXCESSIVE OIL. THEY RECOMMEND PISTON AND RING PLACEMENT. I DECLINED SERVICE AT THAT TIME AS THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL ON 2010 EQUINOX FOR THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER, MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL. I SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE FROM GM AND THEY SUGGESTED I CONTACT NHTSA TO SEE IF MY CAR CAN BE CONSIDERED PART OF THE RECALL SINCE I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND RECOMMENDED REPAIRS AS OTHER 2010 EQUINOX. HUBLER CHEVROLET SERVICE MANAGER RECOMMENDED I CHECK THE OIL 500 MILES TO ENSURE ADEQUATE OIL AND ADD IF NECESSARY. ATTACHED IS THE RECALL PAPERWORK I FOUND FOR THE 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX, WHICH DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. ALSO ATTACHED IS THE RECEIPT WITH DIAGNOSTIC AND RECOMMENDED REPAIR FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. PLEASE CONSIDER MY REQUEST TO ADD MY VEHICLE AND ANY OTHER 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX WITH THE SAME PROBLEM TO THE ACTIVE RECALL TO FIX THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. WHILE I STAY ON TOP OF CHECKING THE OIL, I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT MY ENGINE WILL LOCK UP WHEN I AM DRIVING. I TRULY FEEL UNSAFE IN MY VEHICLE. THANK YOU.
