VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WENT OUT TO START MY CAR MONDAY MORNING MARCH 21,2016. I TURNED ON THE WIPERS TO BECAUSE MY WINDOWS WAS FOGGY..AS I WAITED FOR THE WINDOWS TO CLEAR ..I NOTICED THAT MY WIPERS WOULD NOT COME ON. I TRYED ALL SETTING FROM LOW-HIGH AND EVEN MIST SETTING. THEY STILL WOULD NOT WORK. I GOT OUT OF MY CAR AND HEARD A WHINING NOISE LIKE THE MOTOR WAS RUNNING IN WIPER BLADE.I THEN TRIED THE WIPERS AGAIN AND THEY WOULDN'T MOVE...I GOT A ESTIMATE FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I GOT MY CAR FROM...THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $202 TO FIX.. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE WIPER TRANSMISSION LINKAGE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.THIS WIPER ISSUE DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL..IS A SAFETY HAZARD...I'M GLAD I WAS AT HOME AND MY CAR WAS SITTING STILL AND IT WASN'T RAINING..BUT IF IT HAD BEEN RAINING THAT WOULD HAVE A BEEN A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD..A RECALL DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE CALLED IMMEDIATELY..

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON 11/28/2014 I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON I-49 TO SHREVEPORT, LA DURING A LIGHT RAIN. DRIVING OUR 2015 EQUINOX LT AT 65 MPH IN CRUISE CONTROL AND ECO DRIVE WITH ABOUT 6,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. ON LEVEL GROUND WITH NO VEHICLES IN FRONT FOR MILES OUR FONTAL CRASH ALERT SYSTEM CAME ON WITH THE WARNING NOISE AND A STRONG APPLICATION OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM. IT FELT AS THE ENGINE QUIT AND WE COASTED A SHORT DISTANCE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. I THOUGHT WE WERE STRANDED BUT UPON APPLICATION OF THE THROTTLE THE ENGINE RESPONDED. THE SPEED LIMIT IF 70 MPH AND USUALLY CARRIES MANY 18 WHEELERS. HAD THERE BEEN ONE BEHIND US A SERIOUS COLLISION MAY HAVE OCCURRED. ON DECEMBER 8 2014 WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR LOCAL DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THEY PROVIDED ANOTHER CAR AND INSPECTED OURS FOR A DAY AND A HALF FINDING NO PROBLEMS. THE REPORTED EVEN A MECHANIC TAKING THE CAR TO HIS HOME THAT NIGHT WITH NO PROBLEMS. HE LIVES SOME DISTANCE FROM THE DEALER. AS WE PICKED UP OUR CAR THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS RUNNING SOME RECORDS INTO THEIR COMPUTER CONCERNING THEIR INSPECTION. WE ASKED FOR COPIES AND WAS ADVISED BY THE MANAGER THEY WOULD BE SENT TO US IN THE MAIL. AS OF MARCH 24, 2016 WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE FROM THE DEALER OR THAT MANAGER. UPON CHECKING THE GOVERNMENT FILES I NOW FIND OTHER CASES OF THIS SITUATION WITH THE FCA.

SERVICE BRAKES
WE HAVE NOTICED THE ABS AND TC LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY LIGHT UP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL UPON BRAKING/TURNING TO THE LEFT, AS WELL AS, WHEN BRAKING/HITTING A BUMP OR ROUGH TERRAIN. WE HAVE TAKEN TO A MECHANIC TO BE TOLD THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FIX ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS; THAT THIS IS A DEALERSHIP ISSUE. THIS IS A CAUSE FOR CONCERN DUE TO THE FACT OUR 75 YEAR OLD MOTHER DOESN'T DRIVE IT ALL THE TIME; HOWEVER, WHEN SHE DOES DRIVE, WE ARE WORRIED FOR HER SAFETY AND OUR CHILDREN'S SAFETY WHEN THEY'RE WITH HER. I AM SHOCKED GM HAS NOT RECALLED THIS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
"TAKATA RECALL . I WAS ON MY PHONE USING THE BLUETOOTH. THEN I RECEIVED ANOTHER CALL AND TOOK CALL. MY OTHER PARTY HUNG UP THE LINE AND ONCE I WAS DONE WITH THE CALL I HUNG UP BUT ON THE DISPLAY IT SHOWED AS IF I WAS STILL ON MY PHONE. CUT MY CAR OFF STILL NOTHING HAPPENED. I WENT SO FAR AS RESTING MY RADIO AND PHONE FEATURES.... STILL NOTHING. SO WHEN I HOME THE LIGHT AND DISPLAY STAYED ON AND WHEN WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNING BATTERY DEAD ....MIND YOU THIS IS A 2015 NOT EVEN 3 OR 4 MONTHS SINCE I BOUGHT IT. TOOK THE CAR IN AFTER I HAD TO GET A JUMP START. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT MY CAR FOR A FEW DAYS TO TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG. BUT AS I DID SOME RESEARCH I SEE OTHER CHEVY EQUINOX OWNER'S ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. WHAT IS GOING TO BE DONE??

AIR BAGS
THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 EQUINOX, WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THIS SINCE IT DISABLES THE AIRBAG SYSTEM? SINCE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN WHY HAS THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT?

THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER AND PARK AT LOW SPEEDS. I'VE SEVERAL FORUMS WITH THIS PROBLEM OCCURRING A LOT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE POWER STEERING RECALLS. IT'S NEARLY $1,000 TO HAVE THIS PART REPLACED!

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, VISIBILITY/WIPER
ABS ACTIVATION AT LOW SPEEDS ON DRY PAVEMENT. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND CHANGES THE VEHICLE BREAKING DISTANCE. IT IS ALSO UNKNOWN HOW MUCH IT WILL CHANGE THE DISTANCE. SO IT CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE A LOW SPEED IMPACT ACCIDENT. THIS IS DUE TO NOT KNOWING WHERE TO BREAK FOR PROPER STOPPING DISTANCE. ENGINE PROBLEM WHEN STARTING VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE TURNS OVER THEN STALLS. ONLY WAY I HAVE FOUND TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING IS TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL WHILE TURNING IT OVER. WIPER ISSUE. MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER DOESN'T WORK. I LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE HEAVY SNOW FALL HAPPENS. THIS IS A DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. IF MY VEHICLE IS ON THE ROAD DURING A BLIZZARD OR HEAVY SNOW VISIBILITY IS LOST ON HALF MY WINDSHIELD.
