ENGINE
I GOT MY 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX ON JANUARY 4, 2019. EVER SINCE THE SECOND WEEK, I'VE HAD IT I'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH IT AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT JUST BECAUSE I NEEDED A TUNE UP AND OIL CHANGE AFTER I GOT THOSE THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. SO AROUND THE END OF FEBRUARY, I PUT THE SUV IN THE SHOP THEY SAID IT WAS THE WATER PUMP/BALANCE SHAFT CHAIN THE ENTIRE THING COST $669.49. I WAS VERY EXCITED TO GET MY SUV BACK ON MARCH 15, 2019, JUST IN TIME FOR ME TO GO TO OUT OF TOWN JUST TO FIND OUT THE CAR IS MAKING THE SAME NOISE AND DOING THE SAME ROUGH RIDING. I TOOK THE CAR BACK IN THE SHOP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC IN APRIL THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD A LOT OF VEHICLES WITH THE SAME AND TO FILE A COMPLAINT. I PUT THE CAR DOWN SINCE THEN AND IT'S JUST SITTING UNDER GARAGE TAKING MY MONEY. THE CAR ALSO CUT OFF ON ME MULTIPLE TIMES THE LATEST TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE AND IT JUST CUT OFF AND I HAD TO PUT ON HAZARDS AND I ALMOST GOT HIT.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
ME AND MY WIFE WERE DRIVING WHEN IT STARTED TO RAIN. SO I TURNED ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THEN IT STARTED TO POUR DOWN AND IT WAS HARD TO SEE. WHEN I TURNED THE WIPERS ON HIGH SPEED WITHIN A FEW MINUTES THEY STOPPED WORKING. THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE WIPERS WERE STUCK IN THE UP POSITION. I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING I THINK GOD I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER.

VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT INTERSECTION. VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE AFTER USING ACCELERATOR, AND THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN AT HIGHER RPM. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE AFTER SHUTTING OFF AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. DURING THE SAME DRIVE I ALSO HAD TROUBLE SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR WITH HIGH RPM BEFORE A MODERATELY HARD SHIFT WHILE ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP. AMBER CHECK ENGINE, BRAKE, AND ABM LIGHTS ALL LIT. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY WITH MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR.

ENGINE
HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION AND LOUD UNKNOWN NOISE FROM ENGINE. THE ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE IT IS GOING TO COME APART WHEN STARTED AND DURING ACCELERATION. THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR IS " 91860 ". THE DEALER PERFORMED AN OIL CONSUMPTION REPORT LAST MAY. SAID THAT IT WAS WITHIN THE REQUIREMENTS SET BY CHEVROLET. ENGINE NOISE HAS INCREASED. I DO NOT FEEL THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS.

POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION GETS STUCK AND DOESN'T ALWAYS SHIFT FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. THIS RESULTS IN BEING UNABLE TO ACCELERATE PAST 20-30 MPH UPON TAKEOFF WHICH IS SCARY AND DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY. MY MECHANIC SHOP HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) NEEDS REPLACING. ON 10/14/2016 THERE WAS A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE TCM ON SEVERAL VEHICLES INCLUDING THE 2010-2013 CHEVROLET EQUINOX.GM'S RECALL NUMBERS FOR THIS ARE 50490 AND 50491.

PERIODICALLY THE SCREEN OF THE RADIO WILL GO OFF AND REMAIN THAT WAY UNTIL THE HEAT OR AIR DECIDES TO WORK AGAIN. IT'S HARD TO DRIVE IN THE RAIN, AND I WILL HAVE TO ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN TO CLEAR THE FOG FROM THE WINDSHIELD. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR.
