NOTICED THE PAINT IS PEELING OFF THE BACK LIFT GATE. IT HAS CONTINUED TO PEEL SINCE. THERE IS NO RUST. TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND HE SAID HE THOUGHT THERE WAS A RECALL DUE TO THE PAINT NOT ADHERING CORRECTLY. IT'S THE ONLY AREA ON THE VEHICLE AND IT LOOKS TERRIBLE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS COVERED BY GM. THANK YOU

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
OVER A YEAR AND A HALF AGO I HAD THE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON IN MY 2008 EQUINOX. TOOK IT INTO THE CHEVY DEALER AND THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL SAID TIMING CHAIN/ENGINE POSITION. HERE I AM TODAY, DID NOT DO THE $1,600 RECOMMENDED REPAIR AND THE CAR IS STILL DRIVING FINE AND NO ISSUES. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN RESET MULTIPLE TIMES ONLY TO KEEP COMING BACK. I ALSO HAVE BOTH HEADLIGHTS FILLED WITH MOISTURE AND IT AFFECTS THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE LIGHTS AT NIGHT. FINALLY, I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN THE STABILITRAC LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN BY DAY END IT WILL BE OFF.

POWER TRAIN
WHEN DRIVING, MY CARS TRANSMISSION HESITATES. IT FEELS LIKE ITS LOSING POWER. ALSO FEELS LIKE THERE'S A MISFIRE. IT'S VERY ANNOYING AND NOT SURE HOW CHEVY CAN MAKE A TRANSMISSION LIKE THIS. THIS IS WHY I DON'T BUY AMERICAN VEHICLES. NO DEALERSHIP WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I'M VERY UPSET. I'M A SINGLE FATHER IN THE MILITARY, I NEED A DECENT VEHICLE AND DON'T MAKE MUCH. CAN ANYONE HELP ME?

AIR BAGS
AT FIRST, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD TURN ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY AND AN AIRBAG WARNING WOULD COME ON MY DASH. NOW, IT IS ON ALL THE TIME. THIS CONCERNS ME AS I FREQUENTLY HAVE A PASSENGER IN MY FRONT SEAT AND THE AIRBAG MIGHT NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY IF I GET IN A CRASH. THERE ARE A TON OF COMPLAINTS ON HERE AND THE SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING ON THE 2007 MODEL, WHICH HAS BEEN RECALLED. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED YET ON THE 2008 MODEL?!

THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS BUILT WITH A PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM. WHENEVER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED, AND SOMETIMES WHEN IT IS NOT OCCUPIED, AN ERROR IN THE SEAT SENSOR CALIBRATION CAUSES THE 'CHECK AIR BAG' LIGHT TO COME ON.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE VEHICLE OPERATOR INSERTED THE SWITCHBLADE STYLE KEY INTO THE IGNITION. OPERATOR WENT TO TURN THE IGNITION OVER TO START THE ENGINE. THE KEY FOB'S METAL CASING FOR THE KEY BROKE. THIS RESULTED IN 3 PIECES, THE REMOTE KEY FOB BODY, THE KEY & THE METAL COVER OF THE KEY. THE HINGE OR THE SWTICHBLADE PORTION IS STILL CONNECTED TO THE FOB. CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE COULD NOT GIVE AN ANSWER AS TO WHAT ACTIONS COULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN OR ANSWER IF THE IGNITION SWITCH BEEN BUMPED WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN DRIVE. THIS VEHICLE IS 1200 MILES OUT OF THE "COVERED" WARRANTY.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BRAKE BEGAN TO LOCK UP CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO PULL TO THE RIGHT. THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED TWICE NOW. THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS KEEPS FALLING OFF DO THE METAL CLIP IT HOOKS ONTO RUSTING. THE WIRING HARNESS CLIP ON THE END WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE HUB IS SHOT. THE ABS LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON.I'VE TRIED TO CLEAN IT MANY TIMES TO NO AVAIL. I'M SICK AND TIRED OF THIS PROBLEM. NO MATTER WHAT I DO, IT STILL CAUSES PROBLEM. AND I AM A PA CERTIFIED INSPECTION MECHANIC. I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH A POOR BRAKE SYSTEM IN MY LIFE. I HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS AND BRAKES 4 TIMES NOW, AND PROBABLY WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN IN AUGUST OF THIS YEAR, 2015 WHEN MY STATE INSPECTION WILL BE DUE. THE JOKE OF IT ALL IS THAT THE REAR BRAKES ARE STILL THE ORIGINAL BRAKES AND STAND AT THE LAST INSPECTION AT 8/32. THIS TELLS ME THAT THE BRAKE DISTRIBUTION EQUALIZER IS NOT WORKING. ALL MY STOPPING POWER IS ON THE FRONT BRAKES. MY EQUINOX IS 10 YEARS OLD. SURELY BY NOW THE REAR BRAKES SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED A FEW TIMES. THERE IS ONLY 38,300 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE NOW AND IT LOOKS LIKE NEW. I TAKE EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLES. EVERY 3000 MILES THE OIL AND TIRES ARE ROTATED, AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS INSPECTION BY ME. I WAS GOING TO BUY A 2015 EQUINOX, BUT WAS TORN AWAY BY THE DELAYS OF CHEVROLET ON THESE PROBLEMS. IN THE END, THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND THE ENTIRE ABS SYSTEM SHOULD BE COMPLETELY RE-EXAMINED AND REPAIRED. FINALLY AFTER 3 YEARS, I NOW GOT A NEW IGNITION AND 2 NEW KEYS. YA. THANK YOU !!!!! IF I HAVE TOO, I WILL MAKE A VIDEO ON THIS, AS I DID THE IGNITION SWITCH AND SEND IT IN. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME FOR THE BRAKES ITS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS AND ITS ON GOING. *TR
