SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
A FEW YEARS AGO, NOTICED MY CRUISE CONTROL WASN'T WORKING. I TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED REPAIR SHOP AND FOUND OUT THE PART WAS UNDER RECALL, AND THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WEREN'T WORKING EITHER. THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED, UNTIL THIS WEEK. I NOTICED TODAY THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE CRUISE ISN'T WORKING. WHEN I PARKED MY TRUCK, I TESTED MY BACK BRAKES IN A REFLECTION- NOT WORKING EITHER! AGAIN! IS THIS PART UNDER RECALL STILL?

TECH NOT FIND AC ISSUE. 8/7/18 TRUCK IN AGAIN -- AC STARTS BLOWING COLD AIR THEN PUTS OUT WARM/HUMID AIR THEN BACK TO COLD AIR. -- TEMP IS SET 72 AND OUTSIDE IS 85 - WHY DO I HAVE TO PUT ON AUTO TO GET COLD AIR TO BLOW OUT OR ADJUST DOWN TO GET?

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
FUEL PUMP WELD CRACK, SERVICE 4WD MESSAGE DISPLAYED, CLUNKING IN REAR END ALL DISMISSED REPEATEDLY FROM DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW OFF THE LOT WHICH HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP IN EXCESS OF 10 TIMES FOR MULTIPLE ISSUES. THE 4X4 STARTED NOVEMBER 2017 I WAS TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE WE WERE HAVING ABNORMALLY COLD WEATHER AND IT WOULD COME OUT OF IT. IT HAS BEEN IN MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THEN AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE. CLUNKING IN REAR WAS DISMISSED AS NOTHING, COULD NOT DUPLICATE. I STARTED SMELLING BURNING PLASTIC, THEN WHEN STARTING MY VEHICLE IN THE MORNING THE EXHAUST SMELL WAS SO OVERPOWERING THAT IT WOULD GAG US. THE BURNING PLASTIC SMELL WAS INTERMITTENT WHILE DRIVING AND THAT WAS ONLY AFTER DRIVING THE TRUCK BETWEEN 2 TO 20 OR THE FULL DRIVE HOME AND SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL. I HAD BEEN NODDING OFF, GETTING MASSIVE HEADACHES AND SICK TO MY STOMACH WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK, SO WAS MY DAUGHTER. NO MATTER WHAT THEY HAD MY TRUCK FOR, THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND I HAD A LOANER FOR A WEEK AT A TIME. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHO JUST ENDED UP SEALING MY PICKUP BOX, REPLACING FUEL PUMP MODULE, INSTALLED A BODY PLUG PER A BULLETIN, PER BULLETIN APPLIED LUBRICANT TO BOTH REAR LEAF SPRINGS AND TORQUED LEAF SPRINGS TO SPECS. TRANSFER CASE CONTROL MODULE HAD A BULLETIN FOR WHICH MY DEALER STATED THEY PUT DIELECTRIC LUBRICANT. I WAS DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH MY CHILD IN IT WITH CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING US BASED ON THE SYMPTOMS WE WERE BOTH SUFFERING, EXACTLY WHEN WOULD THAT HAVE BEEN DUPLICATED, AT AUTOPSY???? I DON'T TRUST THIS TRUCK, I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK, I HATE THIS TRUCK NOW AND I AM STUCK WITH 5 YEARS OF PAYMENTS AND SOMETHING THAT TRIED TO KILL ME. HOW IS THAT FOR SAFETY!!!! MY OPINION ONLY!!!

STEERING
OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WHERE THE TRUCK WAS PARKED WAS -1 DEGREE F. POWER STEERING WARNING CAME ON AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING 17 HIGHWAY MILES TO WORK. I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK FOR 1 DAY AND IT HAS 5300 MILES ON IT. 2 HOURS AFTER I GOT TO WORK I STARTED IT AND THE POWER STEERING WORKED FINE. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS +2 DEGREES F. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER. DEALER SAID THEY HAVE HAD OVER 100 CALLS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ON EQUINOX AND COLORADO OVER THE LAST WEEK AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THEY ALSO SAID THE STEERING MODULES FREEZE UP WHEN IT GETS REALLY COLD AND WINDY AND THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER WITHOUT THE ASSIST. A FIX NEEDS TO BE FOUND AND A RECALL ISSUED. SEARCHING THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND MANY INSTANCES OF THE SAME ISSUE ON THE CHEVY COLORADO AND GMC CANYON.

STEERING
KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT POWER STEERING ASSIST WILL FAIL AT TIMES CAUSING DIFFICULT HARD STEERING, SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING. GM HAS SEVERAL RECALLS AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION FIXES FOR THIS BUT WOULD ONLY COVER HALF THE COST TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. MINE WAS STATIONARY ALL 3 TIMES THIS HAPPENED BUT THERE ARE SEVERAL REPORTS OF THIS OCCURRING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD HAVE REPAIRED THIS KNOWN PROBLEM AT NO EXPENSE TO ME. I HAVE SEVERAL PAGES OF OWNERS STATING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY COMPLAINT IS ALL THE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD RUNNING WITH NO LIGHTS ON. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE EVEN IN ALMOST DARK TIMES OF THE DAY. TODAY I DROVE AN HOUR EACH WAY ON I-696 FROM HOWELL TO I-75 AND SAW AT LEAST 20 VEHICLES WITH NO LIGHTS IN HEAVY FOG AND RAIN. I LEAVE MY HOME AT DAWN FOR WORK EVERY DAY AND HAVE ALMOST PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC WITH NO LIGHTS ON. VEHICLES BLEND RIGHT INTO THE SNOW BACKGROUND WITHOUT RUNNING LIGHTS. PLEASE MAKE LIGHTS MANDATORY 24/7 SO ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES/DEATHS CAN BE AVOIDED.
