AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL. BUMPED A CURB (FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE) AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED (ON A REGULAR ROAD MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN) AND ALL AIRBAGS DEPLOYED EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE NO PASSENGERS. FRONT TIRE WAS RESTING AT CURB (DID NOT GO OVER CURB BECAUSE WAS NOT GOING FAST ENOUGH). ENDED UP WITH A BROKEN NOSE, STITCHES ON FOREHEAD, EYEBROW, TWO AREAS OF NOSE BECAUSE OF CUTS FROM AIRBAGS. ALSO EXTREMELY SWOLLEN HAND WITH FRACTURES.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
RETURNED TO HUBLER CHEVY FOR STRANGE NOISE AT A COLD START. ROUGH IDLE. ALREADY A BULLETIN FOR BALANCING CHAIN. BALANCE CHAIN REPLACED PER EXTENDED WARRANTY. RECEIVED A CALL THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDS REPLACED $198. NOT ON A BULLETIN. ALSO, NOW DOING ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BECAUSE OIL WAS LOW AS WELL AS ENGINE COOLANT WAS LOW. AFTER DOING RESEARCH AT HOME, THOUSANDS OF 2.4L ENGINES FOR EQUINOX ARE HAVING TO PAY FOR BAD TIMING CHAIN WHEN THEY HAVE BALANCING CHAIN REPLACED. MOST OF THESE COMPLAINTS ARE COMING AT THE 30,000 MILE MARK ON THE ODOMETER. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT NHTSA SHOULD LOOK INTO WHY THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUE IS NOT ADDRESSED WHEN REPLACING THE BALANCING CHAIN? IF THE TIMING CHAIN STRETCHES OR BREAKS IT WILL BLOW UP THE ENGINE (SAFETY ISSUE). MY VEHICLE JUST TURNED 29,0000 MILES. NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS INVOLVE ALL THE NHTSA BULLETINS AND ULTIMATELY, THESE PEOPLE ARE RECEIVING NEW REPLACEMENT ENGINES. IF THIS IS THE CASE WHY WON'T GM ISSUE A RECALL AND REPLACE THESE ENGINES WITH THE NEW IMPROVED 2013-2014 2.4L ENGINES. MY TIME IS VALUABLE AND EACH REPAIR WILL COST ME A DAYS WORTH OF PAY. IF THESE PROBLEMS ARE NOW SHOWING UP. LET'S END GAMES AND REPLACE THE ENGINE NOW. THIS IS VERY WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM, GM NEEDS TO OWN IT AND REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE INSTEAD OF ALL THESE BAND AID FIXES. *TR

I PREVIOUSLY FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA ON 7/10/16 CONCERNING THIS WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR PROBLEM. WIPERS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING DURING TORRENTIAL RAIN ON I-95 @ 5PM DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN CHECKING FOR RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE I SEE A RECALL #16V582000 DATE 8/14/2016. THIS IS THE EXACT PROBLEM I HAD BUT THE RECALL IS ONLY FOR 2013 EQUINOX. I WENT TO CHEVY DEALER FOR REPAIR SHORTLY AFTER THE INCIDENT AND THIS PROBLEM IS PRECISELY WHAT HE DETERMINED WITH MY CAR. I AM HOPEFUL THAT THIS COMPLAINT WILL BE RESUBMITTED TO INCLUDE THE 2013 MODEL EQUINOX. PLEASE REFER TO MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT FORM FILED WITH YOU ON 7/10/14 REFERENCE #I0609595 . PLEASE CONTACT ME AT THE PROVIDED SOURCES IF YOU NEED FURTHER INFORMATION.

THE SUNFOOF DRAIN TUBES LEAK INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING FLOODING OF FLOORBOARDS AS WELL AS HEADLINER. THE WATER DRIPS FROM VISORS/HEADLINER ONTO ELECTRONICAL COMPONANTS AND DOME LIGHT, AN OBVIOUS HAZORD. DEALER SHOWED US THE PROBLEM, BUT CLAIMS THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN IT CAUSE FLOODING. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD ON THE INTERNET AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. OTHER GM MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WE INFORMED GM OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT RAINS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.
