MY WIFE WAS AT WORK DURING A THUNDERSTORM. WENT TO THE CAR TO LEAVE AND NOTICED THAT THE FRONT FLOORBOARD WAS SOAKING WET. I LOOKED AT IT THE NEXT MORNING AND THE FRONT DRIVER MD PASSENGER SIDE WAS STILL SOAKING WET. I TOOK A BUCKET OF WATER AND POURED IT FROM THE ROOF DOWN THE WINDOW SEAL TOWER IF ANY WATER WAS GOING TO LEAK ON THE FLOOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. YES WATER WAS ENTERING THE THE CARE FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR. I CHECKED THE WEATHERING STRIP TO SEE IF WAS DAMAGED DRY ROTTED WHICH IT WAS NOT. I BEEN RESEARCHING ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. I'VE READ DIFFERENT FORUMS STATING THE SAME ISSUES. I ALSO DISCOVERED THIS FORUM THAT GIVE A BULLETIN NUMBER OF SOME SORT 08-08-57-001A DATED FOR 10-08-08 MODELS 05-09 EQUINOX TALKING ABOUT INSUFFICIENT BODY SEALER WATER ENTERING V THROUGH SEAMS IN THE FLOOR PAN ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. CORRECTION REMOVE CARPET AND RESEAL THE SHEET METAL SEAM. IF THIS ISN'T THE ISSUE PLEASE FIND OUT WHAT IS BECAUSE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES.

IN 15 DEGREE WEATHER CAR RUNNING ROUGH, THEN WITHOUT NOTICE WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON HIGHWAY CAR GOES TO 50% POWER AND BARELY AVOIDING GETTING REAR ENDED I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY WHERE ENGINE STALLED OUT. WAS ABLE TO START ENGINE AGAIN BUT 50% POWER INDICATION REMAINED CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALER. TECH INDICATED THE PCV HAD CLOGGED CAUSING REAR SEAL TO FAIL AND THEN LOSS OF OIL CAUSED TIMING CHAIN TO LOOSEN AND THEN ENGINE FAILURE. $2728.38 LATER FOR TIMING CHAIN NEW SEALS AND ROD PLUS BOLTS. SPECIAL COVERAGE EXISTS FOR THIS EXACT FAILURE BUT WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN DOES NOT MATCH SO BULLETIN NO: 14882 DOES NOT APPLY CURRENTLY. I DO READ OTHERS WITH SAME COMPLAINT.. CAR ONLY HAS 67K AND HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH SENSORS AND ALREADY HAD TIMING CHAIN REPLACED AT 34K . SO APPROX 30K MORE AM I DO FOR ANOTHER MAJOR FAILURE? NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WHEN ON HIGHWAY AND CAR STALLS OUT WITHOUT WARNING AND REALLY PCV VALVE ISSUE CAUSES SEAL TO LEAK OUT OIL WHEN 90% OIL LIFE REMAINING ... NOT SAFE AND MINE AND OTHERS WITH EXCLUDED VINS NEED TO GET COVERED AND REFUNDED IN FULL FOR THE FAILURES RELATED TO THESE PCV VALVES AND EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
NOTHING BAD HAS HAPPENED YET. THIS "RECALL" HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS. I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT CHEVY CANNOT COME UP WITH A REMEDY. I WOULD GUESS ONE IS AVAILABLE BUT IT PROBABLY WOULD COST THEM TOO MUCH. CONCERN: IF THE WIPERS STOP WORKING DURING A SEVERE STORM I'M REALLY IN TROUBLE. WHY DOES THIS TAKE SO LONG???

JUST BEFORE THANKSGIVING 2016 MY WIFE'S CAR STARTED ALTERNATING BACK AND FORTH LUKE WARM AIR TO COLD AIR. I HAVE REPLACED THE HEATER CORE, THE BLEND MOTOR DOOR, BLED THE LINES FOR AIR BUBBLES, AND TODAY THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR. NOTHING HAS CHANGED THE HEATER PROBLEMS. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CAR IS SITTING OR MOVING, IT DOESN'T WORK RIGHT. IF IT'S COLD I CAN'T KEEP MY WINDOWS CLEAR FROM FOGGING UP OR FROST ON MY WINDOWS. *TR

CAR HAD AN OIL CHANGE AND NEW TIRES PUT ON AT BELLE TIRE IN GRAND BLANC MI. THREE DAYS LATER MY DAUGHTER (RACHELLE SLY) WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED. BEING CLOSE TO A MIDAS MUFFLER SHE MANAGED TO GET IT TO RESTART AND GO THERE (LESS THAN 500 FEET). THEY PUT THE CAR UP IN THE AIR AND SAID THERE WAS OIL ALL OVER THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. WE DECIDED TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO BELLE TIRE SINCE THEY CHANGED THE OIL ORIGINALLY. THEY SAID IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO AL SERRA GRAND BLANC MI. BY THAT TIME THE CAR WOULDN'T EVEN START.. AL SERRA ORIGINALLY SAID IT WAS A BAD REAR SEAL. EVERYTHING ESCALATED TO NEEDING A FULL NEW ENGINE. THERE WAS A BULLETIN (NO.14882) ON THE 2012 EQUINOX LTZ BUT WHEN WE PUT HER VIN IN IT DID NOT COME UP. SHE HAD APPROX 140,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT BUT HAD A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT WHEN SHE WAS WITHIN THE REQUIRED MILEAGE OF 120,000 OR 10 YEARS PER THE BULLETIN NO:14882. AT THAT TIME IT WAS DOCUMENTED OF THE VERY COMPLAINTS. IT IS COLD IN MI AT THIS TIME WHICH IS MENTIONED IN THE BULLETIN.AT THE TIME OF HER FIRST COMPLAINT AL SERRA CHANGED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHICH SEEMED TO HELP. SHE PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AL SERRA IN JUNE 2015 AND THE NOTHING WAS SENT TO HER OR DISCLOSED TO HER. BULLETIN CAME OUT IN MARCH OF 2015 (THREE MONTHS EARLIER/PRIOR) SHE DRIVES A LONG WAY TO AND FRO WORK BUT DOES NOT HOT ROD THIS VEHICLE . SHE GETS ALL MAINTENANCE/OIL CHANGES ETC.IT IS DANGEROUS THAT THIS CONDITION WAS NOT BROUGHT TO HER ATTENTION, IF YOU GOOGLE THE CONDITION IT IS A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM THAT GM SHOULD FIX AND OR NOTIFY PEOPLE OF, NOW IN ADDITION TO SPENDING OVER $20,000.00 0N THIS CAR IT COST $5,444.00 TO GET A NEW ENGINE!
