POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT A 2010 EQUINOX NEW, AT 49,000 MILES THE TRANSFER CASE WENT OUT OF IT AND NOW 6 MONTHS LATER AT 55,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT IT WAS THE 3-5 REVERVSE WAVE PLATE WE WERE TOLD THAT SHATTERED. AND SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY OF COURSE GM WOULD NOT HONOR TO GET THIS PLATE FIXED EVEN THOUGH IT ONLY HAD 55,000 MILES ON IT. WE WERE TOLD THESE PLATES WHEN THEY WERE HARDEN THEY WERE HARDEN TO HARD AND SO THEY SHATTER. THIS IS DEFIANTLY A GM ISSUE AND THEY SHOULD REPAIR THESE AT NO COST BUT THEY WON'T ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THIS TRANSMISSION JUST HAPPENED ALL AT ONCE I PUT IT IN GEAR AND THERE IT WENT OUT. IF GM IS GOING TO BUILD A THROW AWAY CAR AT 50,000 MILES THEN THEY SHOULD SELL IT AS A THROW AWAY CAR. THEY KNOW THEY HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS BUT THEY KEEP SOCKING THE CONSUMER FOR COSTLY REPAIRS BECAUSE ALL THEY CAN SAY IS IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. YOU WOULD THINK YOUR CAR WOULD LAST MORE THAN 55,000 MILES.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. EVERY 1,000 MILES OR LESS I NEED TO ADD AT LEAST 1 QUART OF OIL. NO OIL LEAK. HUBLER CHEVROLET IN INDIANAPOLIS HAS INVESTIGATED THE ISSUE. THEY ALSO INDICATED NO LEAK AND THAT THE VEHICLE IS CONSUMING EXCESSIVE OIL. THEY RECOMMEND PISTON AND RING PLACEMENT. I DECLINED SERVICE AT THAT TIME AS THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL ON 2010 EQUINOX FOR THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER, MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL. I SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE FROM GM AND THEY SUGGESTED I CONTACT NHTSA TO SEE IF MY CAR CAN BE CONSIDERED PART OF THE RECALL SINCE I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND RECOMMENDED REPAIRS AS OTHER 2010 EQUINOX. HUBLER CHEVROLET SERVICE MANAGER RECOMMENDED I CHECK THE OIL 500 MILES TO ENSURE ADEQUATE OIL AND ADD IF NECESSARY. ATTACHED IS THE RECALL PAPERWORK I FOUND FOR THE 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX, WHICH DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. ALSO ATTACHED IS THE RECEIPT WITH DIAGNOSTIC AND RECOMMENDED REPAIR FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. PLEASE CONSIDER MY REQUEST TO ADD MY VEHICLE AND ANY OTHER 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX WITH THE SAME PROBLEM TO THE ACTIVE RECALL TO FIX THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. WHILE I STAY ON TOP OF CHECKING THE OIL, I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT MY ENGINE WILL LOCK UP WHEN I AM DRIVING. I TRULY FEEL UNSAFE IN MY VEHICLE. THANK YOU.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I PREVIOUSLY FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA ON 7/10/16 CONCERNING THIS WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR PROBLEM. WIPERS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING DURING TORRENTIAL RAIN ON I-95 @ 5PM DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN CHECKING FOR RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE I SEE A RECALL #16V582000 DATE 8/14/2016. THIS IS THE EXACT PROBLEM I HAD BUT THE RECALL IS ONLY FOR 2013 EQUINOX. I WENT TO CHEVY DEALER FOR REPAIR SHORTLY AFTER THE INCIDENT AND THIS PROBLEM IS PRECISELY WHAT HE DETERMINED WITH MY CAR. I AM HOPEFUL THAT THIS COMPLAINT WILL BE RESUBMITTED TO INCLUDE THE 2013 MODEL EQUINOX. PLEASE REFER TO MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT FORM FILED WITH YOU ON 7/10/14 REFERENCE #I0609595 . PLEASE CONTACT ME AT THE PROVIDED SOURCES IF YOU NEED FURTHER INFORMATION.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
FOUR TIMES WITHIN THE LAST TWO MONTHS THE STABILE SYMBOL, CHECK ENGINE SYMBOL, AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER ALERT HAVE COME ON. THE FIRST TIME HAPPENED WHEN I WAS PARKING, THE 2ND TIME WHEN I LET THE CAR WARM UP, THE 3RD TIME WHEN I WAS DOING 60MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND THE 4TH TIME WHEN I HAD GONE ABOUT 5 BLOCKS ON A CITY STREET. EACH TIME I WAS DRIVING, THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND BECAME HARD TO CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND CUT OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER SITTING FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, THE REDUCED POWER ALERT WENT OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. AFTER ABOUT A DAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OUT. THE CAR WILL RUN OK FOR A DAY OR TWO AND THEN START TO ACT UP AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THAT IT PROBABLY HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE GAS MEDAL, HOWEVER THE DEALER HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO DETECT A CODE. I AM CONCERNED THAT I WILL BE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING AT A HIGH SPEED WHEN IT HAPPENS AND NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER TRAFFIC. *TR
