STEERING
MY WIFE DROVE MY CAR AND NOTICED WHEN THE WHEELS TURNED IN ANY FASHION/WAY/MANNER, THAT THERE WAS A LOUD GROWLIG NOISE AND RUBBING SOUND IN THE WHEELS. NOTE: THE WHEELS ONLY HAD TO TURN SLIGHTLY WHEN THIS WAS FELT IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE SIGNIFICANT VIBRATION ON BOTH FRONT FLOORBOARDS. WE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND WE WERE TOLD THAT GM IS AWARE OF THIS, AND HOPEFULLY GM WILL FIND A SOLUTION. THUS FAR THE DEALERS HAVE CHANGED OUT STEERING COLUMNS WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAID WE HAVE A CASE NUMBER AND WHEN GM FIGURES OUT HOW TO FIX IT, WE WILL BE NOTIFIED. THEY SAID IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE (HOW DO THEY KNOW?)THEY SAID SINCE IT IS NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE- GM IS IN NO HURRY TO GET TO THE DESIGN FLAW THAT IS CAUSING THIS LOUD RUBBING, GROWLING NOISE AND VIBRATION. WHAT CAN WE DO? *TT XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I WAS DRIVING WESTBOUND AND THE STREET LIGHT TURNS YELLOW. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES AND ALL I HEARD WAS A CLICKING CLATTERING SOUND (CLICK, CLICK, CLICK) GO OFF. MY BRAKES DID NOT WORK AND THE CAR KEPT GOING. AS I GOT CLOSER TO THE INTERSECTION, MY LIGHT TURNS RED AND I AM STILL PRESSING ON THE BRAKES FOR THE CAR TO STOP BUT IT DOESN'T, AGAIN ALL I HEAR IS A CLICKING SOUND. THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN FOR THE OTHER CAR AND BECAUSE MY BRAKES DID NOT WORK WHEN THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO IN ORDER TO "STOP" MY CAR, I ENDED UP HITTING THE OTHER CAR ON THE SIDE. MY CAR RECEIVED MOSTLY ALL OF THE IMPACT AND DAMAGE SINCE IT WENT HEAD ON WITH THE SIDE OF THE OTHER CAR. I WOULD HAVE NEVER EXPECTED OR EVEN THOUGHT OF MY BRAKES GOING BAD ON MY 2011 CHEVY LS EQUINOX. THAT IS JUST SOMETHING YOU DON'T EXPECT BECAUSE ITS A NEW CAR AND YOU ARE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE CAR IS 100% IN WORKING CONDITION. I UNDERSTAND THAT MALFUNCTIONS HAPPEN, BUT THIS ONE I DID NOT SEE COMING. I WILL SEEK LEGAL ADVICE AS TO WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE. NOW I HAVE NO CAR, AND ALTHOUGH I LOVED THAT CAR, SADLY I WILL NOT BUY FROM CHEVY ANYMORE. I GUESS THEY GO HAND IN HAND WITH TOYOTA WITH THEIR BRAKE ISSUES. *JS *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I PURCHASED A NEW CHEVY EQUINOX ON MAY 13, 2011 FROM MARITIME MOTORS IN FAIRFIELD, CT IT HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE FROM THE BEGINNING DRIVETRAIN/TIMING ISSUES, BUCKING ON ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION AND PULSING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS. THE EQUINOX STILL OCCASIONALLY CLATTERS UPON STARTING (AFTER THE RECALL WAS APPARENTLY FIXED IN SUMMER 2011), AND THE VEHICLE ALSO PULSES AT STOP SIGNS AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS TO THE POINT IT FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL AND I HAVE TO REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE TO STOP THE PULSING. I HAVE HAD NOTHING FROM MARITIME MOTORS (OR GENERAL MOTORS) IN TERMS OF SUPPORT ON THIS ISSUE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE - I HAVE FIVE WITNESSES/PASSENGERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED MY CONCERNS. IN ADDITION, I HAVE TWO FRIENDS WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL (PURCHASED FROM MARITIME MOTORS) AND ARE EXPERIENCING IDENTICAL ISSUES. THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMER PROTECTION HAS RESOLVED FOUR RECENT COMPLAINTS WITH GM FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUES. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I BOUGHT MY 2011 EQUINOX IN DEC. 2011. ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THERE WAS A RATTLE NOISE WHICH SOUNDED LIKE THE STARTER IS NOT ENGAGING RIGHT. I TOLD MY DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS, SO I HOPE GM WILL INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM. I HOPE THIS DOES NOT MESS UP THE ENGINE. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING 46 YRS & NEVER HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX I PURCHASED ON OCTOBER 8TH 2011 BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING THE FIRST TIME I STARTED IT AFTER DRIVING IT HOME (500 MILES) FROM THE DEALERSHIP. ON STARTUP THERE WAS A LOUD 3-4 SECOND RATTLE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT (ALMOST AS IF LOW ON OIL). THIS RATTLE WAS EVIDENT WHETHER THE ENGINE WAS HOT, WARM, OR COLD. I TOOK THE CAR INTO MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP ON 10/11/2011. THEY REPROGRAMMED THE ECM AND GAVE ME BACK MY CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE NEXT DAY THE RATTLE WAS STILL THERE. ON 10/31/2011 I RETURNED MY CHEVROLET EQUINOX TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS TIME A SOUND INSULATOR WAS INSTALLED ON THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE/FUEL PUMP. THE NEXT DAY THE RATTLE WAS STILL THERE. ON APPROXIMATELY 1/20/2012 MY CHEVROLET EQUINOX BEGAN IDLING ROUGH, STALLING, AND THROWING CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS. I RETURNED MY CHEVROLET EQUINOX TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 1/27/2012. ON 2/3/2012 I WAS GIVEN BACK MY VEHICLE AND TOLD THAT IT WAS FIXED AND APPEARED TO BE RUNNING OK WITH NO RATTLE. I TOOK MY NEW CHEVROLET EQUINOX HOME AND PARKED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY TO FIND AN OIL PUDDLE UNDER IT THE NEXT MORNING. IN MY 53 YEARS I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE THAT LEAKED OIL, LET ALONE ONE THAT DOES WITH LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON IT. THE CAR IS SCHEDULED TO GO BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP IN TWO DAYS. THERE ARE OTHER SERVICE BULLETINS OUT ON THIS VEHICLE THAT PERTAIN TO THE PROBLEM THAT I AM HAVING BUT THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT COMPLETED THEM AT THIS TIME. THERE ARE ALSO BULLETINS AND INFORMATION THAT MENTION DEBRIS AND MULTIPLE OIL CHANGES (THIS SPEAKS OF LONG TERM ENGINE DAMAGE TO ME). FOR $31,000 I WOULD HAVE HOPED FOR A LITTLE MORE THAN THIS IN A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. HOPEFULLY CHEVROLET "STEPS UP TO THE PLATE" AND MAKES THINGS RIGHT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
CONCERNING 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX 4CYL, ON STARTUP, THERE WILL BE A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE, SOUNDS AS IF THERE IS NO OIL IN THE ENGINE, SOUND LASTS FROM 1-5 SECONDS THEN GOES AWAY. MOST OF THE TIMES IT WILL DO IT ON FIRST START-UP OF THE DAY BUT THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW TIMES WHERE IT HAS DONE IT MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE SAME DAY. CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE, THEY HAVE REPLACED THE CAM ACTUATOR AND SOLENOID, WHICH I HAD TO BRING BACK AGAIN (#5) BECAUSE THE GASKET WAS SEATED INCORRECTLY AND WAS LEAKING OIL ON MY DRIVEWAY. SERVICE ACCOUNT MANAGER HAS HEARD THE NOISE THE FIRST TIME I BOUGHT IT IN AND THE LAST TIME IT WAS IN, BOTH TIMES THE SOUND LASTED ABOUT 1 SECOND, BUT IT WAS ENOUGH THAT BOTH OF US HEARD IT, NOT AS LONG AS THE TIMES WHEN STARTING AT HOME, PROBABLY BECAUSE THOSE WERE ON FIRST START-UP OF THE DAY WHEREAS THE TIMES AT THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS EITHER ALREADY RUNNING OR WAS STARTED A FEW TIMES THAT DAY. THEY ALSO REPLACED A HIGH PRESSURE PUMP INSULATOR COVER FOR A TICKING NOISE THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE KNOCKING NOISE. ALSO HAVE MENTIONED TO THEM THAT WHILE ACCELERATING (FROM DEAD STOP AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, GOING UP ON-RAMPS TO HIGHWAYS AND MERGING INTO HIGH-SPEED TRAFFIC), THE RPM'S WILL DROP DOWN TO ZERO AND CAR ALMOST STALLS THEN IT KICKS BACK INTO GEAR (UP TO 6500 RPMS), THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 TIMES, AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THAT PROBLEM EITHER. I HAVE TRIED ALL 3 GRADES OF GASOLINE AND ISSUES WERE PRESENT WITH ALL 3. AT THIS POINT IT HAS ALREADY BEEN IN 4 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND I FEEL AS THOUGH ONE DAY THE ENGINE WILL HAVE MORE SERIOUS ISSUES BECAUSE OF THESE ISSUES.

POWER TRAIN
MY 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX 4 CYLINDER SHIFTS HORRIBLY BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD. IF YOU ACCELERATE TO APPROX. 20 MPH AND REMOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE GAS THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES AND THEN IT SHIFTS TO 3RD GEAR WITH A JOLT THAT WOULD MAKE YOU THINK YOU WERE HIT FROM BEHIND. WHEN IT DOWN SHIFTS FROM 3RD TO 2ND IT IS LIKE AN ANCHOR WAS THROWN OUT THE BACK. RETURNED IT TO A CHEVY DEALER WHO WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT BUT SAID THAT IT WAS NORMAL AND THAT ALL EQUINOX DO IT. THEY HAD THEIR DISTRICT MANAGER CHECK ON IT AND HE SAID THAT CHEVY DESIGNED IT TO DO THAT AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. IT IS GOING BACK AGAIN TOMORROW TO A DIFFERENT DEALER BUT I EXPECT TO HERE THE SAME STORY. WHEN IMPORTS ARE DESIGNING CONSTANT VELOCITY TRANSMISSIONS THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN FEEL SHIFT, WHY WOULD GM DESIGN THEIRS TO JOLT YOU OUT OF YOUR SEAT. GUESS THEY NO LONGER WHAT MY BUSINESS. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
AT 4000 MILES THE RADIATOR FAILED AND THE CAR OVERHEATED. REPLACED RADIATOR. AT THE SAME TIME THERE WAS AND STILL IS A CLUNKING AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHEN UP-SHIFTING. THE CLUNK HAS BEEN SO DRAMATIC THAT I THOUGHT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THAT I WAS HIT FROM THE REAR. IT ACTUALLY MAKES ME SICK TO MY STOMACH DRIVING THE CAR AND MAKES PEOPLE IN THE BACK SICKER. ADDITIONALLY SOME WHERE ABOVE 30 MILES AN HOUR THE CAR HAS SEVERAL TIMES HESITATED AS IF RUNNING OUT OF GAS. THE GAS PEDDLE DOES NOT RESPOND PROPERLY, HESITATING BEFORE CATCHING ON. NOW AT 11,000 AND THREE RETURN VISITS TO THE DEALER THEY SAY THAT THIS IS HOW ALL EQUINOX CARS HAVE THIS DRIVE PERFORMANCE AND IT IS "NORMAL" . THIS WAS NOT AN ISSUE WHEN WE FIRST GOT THE CAR AND HAD I BEEN TOLD THAT SOME EQUINOX DRIVE LIKE THIS, I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR KNOWING THIS. I KNOW FROM SEARCHING THE INTERNET THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM IN 2009 AND STILL IS AND WAS SOLD A CAR THAT THEY KNEW COULD BE FAULTY WITHOUT A CURRENT SOFTWARE FIX. I WILL NOT DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN, ESPECIALLY KNOWING NOW THAT THEY CAN STALL AT 30 MILES AND HOUR. *TR

DROVE IT. TURNED IT OFF FOR 15 MINUTES. WENT TO START IT BACK UP AND WOULD NOT START. WOULDN'T EVEN TURN OVER. CALLED ONSTAR AND THEY SENT SOMEONE TO JUMP IT. WOULD NOT START 2 MORE TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET IT IN TO GET LOOKED AT. THE NEIGHBOR AND MY FIANCEE HAD TO JUMP IT BOTH TIMES. THAT WAS WITHIN 3 DAYS. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE. SAID IT WAS A PROGRAM TELLING MY CAR NOT TO START. THEY RE-PROGRAMMED MY CAR. WORKED FOR A WEEK. THEN WENT TO GET IN IT TO GO TO WORK AGAIN AND WOULD NOT START. THAT WAS A SATURDAY. HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON TUESDAY BECAUSE THEY NEED TO FIX A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROBLEM. LET THEM KNOW IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. ALSO, WHEN I WENT TO BACK OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE THE FIRST TIME ONSTAR CAME THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNING BUT MY WHEELS WEREN'T. HAD MY BOSS WITH ME TO WITNESS THIS. AFTER 6 TRIES THE WHEELS FINALLY TURNED TO ALLOW ME TO BACK OUT OF MY SPACE. THE DEALERSHIP THOUGHT THAT THE CARS COMPUTER SYSTEM MAY HAVE JUST BEEN TAKING A WHILE TO KICK IN. *TR

I STARTED MY CAR WHICH SOUNDED LIKE A JET ENGINE, LIKE IT WAS GOING TO GO AIRBORNE. I ACCELERATED AND GOING ONLY 5 MPH THE RPM RACED TO 4,000. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS AND THE CAR JERKED. I ACCELERATED AGAIN GOING ONLY 5 MPH AND AGAIN THE RPM RACED TO 4,000. THE CAR JERKED AGAIN AND I FELT LIKE I HAD BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND. I HAD JUST LEFT MY DRIVEWAY SO PULLED BACK IN AND CALLED MY DEALER. THE CAR WAS TOWED IN BUT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED NOR WAS THERE A CODE. I HAVE THE CAR BACK BUT EXPECT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR
