CHECK ENGINE LIGHT RAN SCAN SAID FLEX FUEL SENSOR BAD REPLACED NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON. SCAN SAYS LOW VOLTAGE IN FLEX FUEL COMPOSITION SENSOR. WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THE PROBLEM WITH THIS EQUINOX. SEEMS LIKE EVERYTIME YOU FIX ONE THING SOMETHING ELSE GO WRONG. THE RADION HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. THE HEATER RESISTOR WENT BAD REPLACED IT NOW THE BLOWER MOTOR IS BAD. THIS CAR IS A LLEMON FROM THE FRONT BUMPER TO THE REAR BUMPER.. PIECE OF JUNK. EVERYTHING HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER ONE THING OR THE OTHER IS REPAIRED....

CAR WAS RUNNING AND DRIVING IN THE RAIN GOING ABOUT 30 MPH ON RESIDENTIAL ROAD AND THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. THE MOTOR SOUNDS LIKE IT IS RUNNING BUT WIPERS DON'T MOVE. I CAN MOVE THE WIPERS FREELY WITH MY HAND. I BELIEVE THE WIPER TRANSMISSION ARMS HAVE BECOME DISCONNECTED.

I WAS DRIVING HOME IN THE EVENING HOURS AND IT WAS POURING DOWN RAIN. WITHOUT WARNING, MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AND I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING. IT WAS LIKE A CURTAIN WAS OVER THE WINDSHIELD. I IMMEDIATELY BRAKED AND SLOWED DOWN AND MADE IT TO A PLACE WHERE I COULD PULL OVER. A 20 MINUTE RIDE TOOK ME 1 1/2 HOURS TO MAKE BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ON OCTOBER 27, 2020, I WAS TOLD THAT THE WIPER MODULE WAS REPLACED.

OCTOBER 23 2020 APPROXIMATELY 1530 HOURS ON THE INTERSTATE 69 WHILE DRIVING IN THE POURING RAIN WITH WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON HIGH SPEED THEY (FAILED) STOPPED WIPING. I FINALLY PULLED OVER AT A GAS STATION (AFTER THE RAIN STOPPED) PULLED UNDER THE CANOPY AND A MAN (IN HIS 40S) APPROACHED ME AND ASKED; DID YOUR WIPERS QUIT RUNNING? ME; YES HIM; MINE QUIT IN THIS RAIN ALSO, THAT'S WHY I PULLED IN HERE, I OWN THAT EQUINOX RIGHT THEIR. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM; ( YOU CAN HEAR THE WIPER MOTOR (GM84241847) STILL RUNNING BUT NOT WIPING.( WE BOTH HAD THE SAME PROBLEM) I GOT HOME, UPON FURTHER INSPECTION. (I FOUND THE NYLON NUT ON THE AGITATING ARM HAS COME OFF / LACK OF TERMINOLOGY) I SNAPPED THE NYLON NUT BACK ON AND THE WIPERS WORKED AS NORMAL. (THIS NYLON PART IS NOT WORN OUT OR BROKEN) I HAVE REPLACED THE PART (GM84241847) FOR PEACE OF MIND AND SAFETY REASONS. I'M A 68 YEAR OLD MAN I HAVE OVER A MILLION MILES OF DRIVING ON THIS INTERSTATE, THE 20 SECONDS MY WIFE AND I EXPERIENCED WAS PURELY TERRIFYING. THE THING THAT SCARES ME THE MOST IS; (ONE OF MY KIDS OR GRANDCHILDREN COULD HAVE BEEN IN THIS SITUTATION / OR YOURS) LESS EXPERIENCE DRIVER.

ON OCTOBER 16, 2020 I WAS PARKED AT WALMART GETTIN READY TO TURN ON MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND DRIVE MY DAUGHTER AND I HOME UNTIL WHEN I TURNED ON MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS THEY WOULDN'T WORK. SO I THEN WENT BACK INSIDE FOR SOME RAIN-X (WHICH DIDN'T HELP MUCH CUZ IT WAS RAINING AND RAIN-X IS SUPPOSED TO BE APPLIED TO A DRY WINDSHIELD) JUST SO I COULD GET US AND OUR GROCERIES HOME. THANK THE LORD WE MADE IT HOME SAFE, GROCERIES IN TACT!!! FOR THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS....I CHANGE MY FLUIDS ON A REGULAR BASIS YET EVERY WEEK FOR THE PAST BOUT 8 MONTHS NOW AS I SLOW DOWN GOING UPHILL TO PULL INTO MY FATHER IN LAW'S DRIVEWAY THE TRANSMISSION JERKS.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG A HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH IN THE RAIN AND WIPERS STOPPED ABRUPTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF MY WINDSHIELD. I PULLED OVER AS SOON AS I COULD AS I COULD NOT SEE WHERE I WAS GOING. I CHECKED THE WIPERS AND MANUALLY PUT THEM DOWN. THERE WAS NO RESISTANCE TO THE WIPER AT ALL. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS THING TO HAVE HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND SUDDENLY HAVE NO WIPERS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON YOUR WEBSITE.

IN JUNE I WAS DRIVING IN THE POURING DOWN RAIN ABOUT TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS SHUT OFF, MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE FUSES (NOT BLOWN), CHECKED A FEW OTHER ISSUES THERE WAS A LOSE NUT, TIGHTENED IT NOT TIME IT RAINED THE WIPERS SHUT OFF AGAIN, THE LINKAGE ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. 2 WEEKS AGO WHEN IT POURED DOWN THEY STOPPED WORKING AS I WAS ABOUT TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER CHECKING THE NUT ATTACHING THE LINKAGE ASSEMBLY TO THE MOTOR WAS LOSE. WE TRIED TO LOOK UP THE PART TO REPLACE THE NUT NOTHING COMES UP. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. TOMORROW IT IS SUPPOSE TO RAIN ALL DAY AND NEED TO GET TO WORK. I WENT AND REVIEWED THE ISSUE WITH THE CAR I HAVE TO SEE IF ANYTHING CAME UP AND PEOPLE ARE POSTING AS CLOSE AS 10/12/20 THE SAME HAS HAPPEN TO THEIR WIPERS

PLASTIC BUSHINGS USED TO HOLD WIPER ARM LINKAGE CONTINUES TO BREAK LOOSE. HAVE REPAIRED SEVERAL TIMES WITH PARTS AVAILABLE IN PART STORES. THIS DESIGN IS VERY POOR AND IS VERY DANGEROUS AS YOU CAN IMAGINE WHEN RAINING. THESE CONTINUE TO POP LOOSE OR BREAK. I WOULD CONTINUE TO HATE TO HAVE THIS GO OUT ON MY WIFE AND KIDS!!

ENGINE
EVER SINCE WE GOT OUR VEHICLE IT USES OIL, SINCE MORE MILES HAVE GOTTEN ON THE SAID VEHICLE IT'S USING MORE OIL! OIL ISN'T CHEAP, I PUT MORE OIL IN MY 2015 EQUINOX THAN MY HUSBAND PUTS IN OUR 2004 DODGE RAM AND IT BURNS OIL BUT LESS THAN MY EQUINOX! I'M HAVING TO CHECK OIL LEVEL EVERYDAY BECAUSE OF THIS, MY HUSBAND AND I JUST HAD THE OIL CHANGED ON 10/3/2020 AND TODAY 10/5/2020 I'VE HAD TO ADD 1/2 OF A QUART OF OIL! I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS GOING TO BUT I'M STUCK WITH THIS CAR FOR QUITE AWHILE AND HONESTLY IT'S NOT WORTH IT AS MUCH OIL AS IT'S USING. NOW I'VE SEEN COMPLAINTS OVER OLDER MODELS HAVING A LAWSUIT AGAINST WHOMEVER FOR OIL CONSUMPTION ON THEIRS AND IN ALL HONESTY I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE DIRECTION I NEED TO HEAD OR WHAT BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS!!

AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I WAS DRIVING HOME AND DROVE OVER A POT HOLE IN THE ROAD WHEN I WAS TURNING AT INTERSECTION, THEN APPROXIMATELY 3-5 SECONDS AFTER CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AS WELL AS THE ONE FROM STEERING WHEEL. THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG DID NOT FULLY INFLATE DUE TO METAL FRAGMENTS THAT WERE SHOT OUT CAUSING A PUNCTURE TO THE AIR BAG AND THOSE FRAGMENTS CAUSED PUNCTURE WOUNDS TO MY ARM, AND CRACKED THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WINDOW. I WAS NOT IN A COLLISION AT THAT TIME. I HAVE THE REPORT FROM MY INSURANCE WHERE IT STATES THIS CAR HAD A RECALL FOR AIR BAG ISSUES ONE BEING THAT OBJECTS MAY CAUSE INJURY AND OR DEATH FROM SHOOTING OUT. I HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP IN JUNE DUE TO THE STABILITIES AND SERVICE AIR BAGS LIGHT WAS ON. THIS WAS NOT DISCLOSED TO ME AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE AND ANY OTHER TIME I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICES. AFTER INVESTIGATION THRU MY INSURANCE IT WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. I HAVE TRIED REPEATEDLY AND UNSUCCESSFULLY, TO REACH OUT TO MANAGEMENT FOR OVER A MONTH NOW AND THEY SEEM TO NOT WANT TO HELP. I HAVE PHOTOS TO SHOW CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE, THE 23 PAGE REPORT FROM MY INSURANCE AS WELL AS MY INJURIES. I PUT $5000 DOWN , INCLUDED IN THAT WAS A TRADE IN. NOW IM LEFT WITHOUT A CAR AND DEALING WITH A DEALERSHIP THAT SEEMS NOT TO CARE. ON THE 23RD PAGE IS WHERE IT STATES THIS VEHICLE MAY BE ONE OF THE AFFECTED ONES. WELL IT WAS BECAUSE IT HAPPENED TO ME. THE INSURANCE TOOK POSSESSION OF CAR OVER 2 WEEKS AGO.*DT*DT*DT*JB*JB*JS
