POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE EVEN THOUGH THE RPMS WHERE CLIMBING. IT FINALLY COASTED THE REMAINING 2 BLOCKS HOME WHERE ALL GEARS EXCEPT 2ND WERE COMPLETELY GONE. THE VEHICLE WILL HAVE TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A $4500.00 BILL TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALREADY HAD THE MOTOR, FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM, AND TIMING CHAIN REPLACED DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL. DUE TO THE MANY COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN LOGGED AS WELL AS THE OPEN RECALL ON OTHER 2010 EQUINOXES AND TRAVERSES I WOULD THINK THERE WOULD BE AN OPEN RECALL ON MY VIN BUT THERE ISN'T. I WISH I'D NEVER BOUGHT THIS CAR AND I WILL NOT BE A REPEAT GM CUSTOMER. *TR

ENGINE
I HAVE TRIED CONTACTING GM MULTIPLE TIMES TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE CONTACTED YOU ALL PREVIOUSLY TO NO AVAIL. THIS IS MY LAST HOPE. I'M GOING TO KEEP COMPLAINING UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE. MY VEHICLE HAS AN EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. IT STARTED AROUND 60K MILES AND HAS JUST ROLLED OVER THE 80K MILE MARK THIS WEEK. IN THE BEGINNING, MY VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING THIS KNOCKING SOUND SO I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. IT WAS COMPLETELY DRY OF OIL. IT WAS NO YET DUE AN OIL CHANGE AND I HAD HAD THE VEHICLE FOR JUST OVER A YEAR PRIOR TO THIS. I AM NOW PUTTING A QUART OF OIL IN MY VEHICLE PER WEEK. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT GM ARE CALLED YEARS 2010 AND 2011 AND "SOME" 2012'S UNFORTUNATELY MINE WAS NOT ONE OF THE "SOME." - THIS IS A GM MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. HOW IS IT EVEN REMOTELY POSSIBLE TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR SOME AND NOT ALL. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IF I PAY $2000 TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED, SOMEDAY IF THERE IS A RECALL, I'LL BE REIMBURSED. AS THE MOTHER OF A CHILD WITH MULTIPLE MEDICAL BILLS, SHELLING OUT $2000 FOR THEIR CRAPPY MANUFACTING IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ME AND IT'S TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. MY NEXT STEP IS BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. PLEASE GIVE ME SOME INSIGHT. I'M AT THE END OF MY ROPE. I HAVE TO KEEP OIL IN MY VEHICLE AT ALL TIMES, AND I'M TERRIFIED THAT MY ENGINE WILL BLOW WHILE I'M OUT WITH MY SON IN IT.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WE PURCHASED OUR EQUINOX FROM MY WIFE'S PARENTS AT ABOUT 30000 MILES. WE NOTICED AFTER A SHORT TIME THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS LEFT AN "UNWIPED STREAK" IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE WIPER MAKING IT VERY HAZARDOUS ANY TIME CONDITIONS MERITED USING THE WIPER. WE CHANGED THE WIPERS MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO RESOLVE TO THE PROBLEM. UPON CONSULTING 2 MECHANICS, THEY BOTH MADE NO CHANGES SAYING THERE WAS NO ADJUSTMENT THAT COULD BE MADE TO THE WIPERS. WE THEN RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE EARLIER THIS YEAR. WE CAN'T REALLY DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH ANY CHANCE OF RAIN OR OTHER PRECIPITATION. THIS OCCURRED WITH A CHEVROLET SERVICE CENTER AS WELL.
