2010 Chevrolet Equinox complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED DURING A HAIL STORM, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ACTIVATED ON HIGH SETTING HOWEVER, AFTER WIPING UP AND DOWN TWICE, THE WIPERS BECAME INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT TONY DIVINO TOYOTA (777 W RIVERDALE RD, RIVERDALE, UT 84405) HAD REPAIRED THE WIPER BLADES A YEAR PRIOR HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000.

I TOOK MY SUV TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 1-8-2020 AND INFORMED THEM THAT ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON,AND HAD A LITTLE SHAKE, FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO CUT OFF,AND IT WAS BURNING OIL,LEFT VEHICLE AT DEALERSHIP FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS, GOT A CALL SAYING THERE WAS NO OIL ON DIP STICK, SO THERE WAS A OIL CHANGE DID, AND TOLD TO DRIVE FOR 1000 MILES THEN RETURN FOR RECHECK,POSSIBLE CAMSHAFT POSITION FAULT,DROVE CAR ,BUT BEFORE IT MEET THE 1000 MILES IN HAD TO ADD A QUART OF OIL TO VEHICLE THIS WAS OVER THE WEEKEND, CALLED AND INFORMED DEALERSHIP THEY SAID TO BRING IT BACK SO THEY COULD CHECK IT, TOOK SUV BACK AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T FIND NOTHING WRONG, BUT IT WAS STILL TAKING ALOT OF OIL, NOW THE CAMSHAFT IS NO GOOD, THEY JUST DIDN'T WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHEN THE WARRANTY WAS ON IT, NOW THAT THE WARRANTY IS GONE THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR THE WORK,FYI THERE WAS A WARRANTY ON THE SUV WHEN I WAS COMPLAINING SO IT COULD HAVE BE FIXED THEN,THE SAME PROBLEM I WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT,IS THE SAME PROBLEM I GOT NOW,WHY DO DEALERSHIPS ALWAYS GET OVER PEOPLE, THE CAMSHAFT WENT OUT 11-23-2020

MY VEHICAL IS BURNIG OIL I HAVE CHAGED MY OIL TWICE ALREADY THIS YEAR I JUST CHANGED TWO SENSORS NOW IM GETTING A CODE FOR THE CONVERTER

CAR CONSUMES ENTIRELY TO MUCH OIL. EVERY WEEK I AM PUTTING 2 QUARTS OF OIL IN EVEN AFTER GETTING A FRESH OIL CHANGE. ENGINE IS LOUD/RATTLING HAS BEEN EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. I HAVE BEEN PUTTING MONEY IN THIS CAR SINCE I PURCHASED IT. NOW CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. SAYS I NEED A NEW TIMING FROM WHAT I AM BEING TOLD THAT IS BASICALLY A NEW ENGINE. THE RADIO GOES OUT AND COMES BACK ON, YESTERDAY THE VOLUME ON THE RADIO WAS GOING UP & DOWN BY ITSELF. THE MAIN ISSUE IS A ENGINE AND THE OIL. THERE IS NO WAY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH ALMOST EVERY COMPLIANT THAT I HAVE SEEN SO FAR AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ON THIS HOW INSANE. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CAR FROM GM AGAIN! THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR WENT OUT TWICE, THIS IS A OVERALL TERRIBLE ENGINE AND CAR. THE CAR IS LOUD WHEN IT IS RUNNING AND WHEN YOU ACCELERATE, TURN THE CAR ALL OF THE ABOVE. I HAD THE MUFFLER AND SOME OTHER THINGS FIXED AND IT'S STILL LOUD, THE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE ENGINE.

THIS YEAR AND MODEL OF THE CHEVROLET EQUINOX HAS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR OIL CONSUMPTION. I AM GETTING AN OIL CHANGE, ON AVERAGE, EVERY 1,500 MILES. MY CAR HAS STALL WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. IT STALLS MOST MORNINGS AFTER BEING TURNED ON FOR 15-20 SECONDS. I'VE ALSO HAD IT STALL WHEN CHANGING GEARS. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE FOR ANY DRIVER AND THEN ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

I'VE HAD COUNTLESS ISSUES FROM THIS VEHICLE SINCE I'VE GOTTEN IT BETWEEN A CONSTANT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAVING TO REPLACE ALL THE SENSORS AND IT GOES AWAY OR OIL LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS I STAY PUTTING OIL IN IT TWICE A WEEK AS OF THE PAST FEW DAYS I WAS COMING HOME FROM TAKING MY BROTHER TO KARATE AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT START FLASHING IN MY STABILITY TRACK CAME ON AND DUE TO THE OIL LEAK IT CAUSE MY ENGINE TO CRACK A RING SO NOW MY VEHICLE IS BASICALLY TOTALED ITS HEARTBREAKING CUZ THE AMOUNT OF MONEY AND REPAIRS ARE PUT INTO IT IT'S BEEN ONE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CAR TO ANYBODY

MY TRANSMISSION IS NOT PICKING UP ACCORDINGLY. RPM ARE HIGH.

I'VE TAKEN MY EQUINOX TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND NO ONE EVER TOLD ME ANYTHING ABOUT IT . MY VEHICLE USES AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF ENGINE OIL AFTER . MY OIL CHANGES HAVE TO BE EVERY 3 WEEKS. . WHEN TURNING ON MY VEHICLE IT SOUNDS LIKE A TRACTOR IS READY TO GO. I HAVE A SMALL SUV THAT I KNOW NEVER MADE THAT LOUD NOISE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT FAILED TO MOVE UP AND DOWN. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WAS CONSUMING AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF OIL. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED SANDS CHEVROLET ' SURPRISE (16991 W WADDELL RD, SURPRISE, AZ 85388, (623) 428-1865) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FAILURE WAS LIKE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V447000 (SEATS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I RECENTLY FOUND MY SON'S DEFROST WAS NOT WORKING ON HIS 2010 EQUINOX. AS I WAS SEARCHING FOR TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION, I FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE HOWEVER MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL. MY ASSUMPTION IS THEY DID NTO ACCURATELY BOOKEND THIS ISSUE.

AFTER REFUELING VEHICLE, I NOTICED A STRONG GAS ODOR THAT DID NOT GO AWAY FOR SEVERAL DAYS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE THE A CHEVY DEALER WHO IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS A CRACKED FUEL TANK CONNECTOR, AS SHOWN IN THE ATTACHED PHOTO. APPARENTLY GM HAS RECOGNIZED THE ISSUE AND HAS SINCE REDESIGNED THE PART, AS SHOWN IN THE SECOND ATTACHED PHOTO. THIS VEHICLE HAS UNDER 80K MILES, HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, NOR HAD ANY OTHER INCIDENT THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE PART FAILURE. THE FAILURE APPEARS TO BE A STRESS CRACK DUE TO A DEFECTIVE, OVER-STRESSED, POORLY DESIGNED, OR POORLY ASSEMBLED PART. IN SHORT, THIS PART SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED. FURTHERMORE, THE FAILURE REPRESENTS A DANGEROUS SITUATION, DUE TO THE FUEL LEAK THAT OCCURRED. THE REPAIR WAS ON THE ORDER OF $1500, BECAUSE THE DEALER INDICATED THAT BOTH THE GAS TANK AND FILLER NECK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A SUBSTANTIAL REPAIR FOR A RELATIVELY LOW-MILEAGE VEHICLE.

I PUT IN A NEW CADILLAC CONVERTER AND EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND I HAVE TO CHANGE THE O2 SENSORS BANK1 02 SENSOR KEEPS GIVING ME P034 & P054 IN A PERMANENT P0420 IT GETS VERY EXPENSIVE CHANGING THE SAME REPAIRS OVER AND OVER AGAIN . THIS HAPPEN WHEN I'M IN MOTION ,THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON ALL THE TIME .

THERE IS A GM LAWSUIT FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR. GM IS FULLY AWARE THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE CONCERNING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND THE DAMAGE IT DOES TO THE CARS. THEY ARE HIDING BEHIND THE LAWSUIT AND MAKING IT THE BURDEN TO THE CUSTOMER TO PROVIDE PROOF THAT EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION HAPPENED TO THEIR CAR. I AM ONE OF THE PERSONS THAT HAS BEEN DENIED COMPENSATION DUE TO THE FACT MY VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE 10 YEAR MARK IN THE LAWSUIT WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN JUNE OF 2019 NOT KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT A LAWSUIT REGARDING THIS VEHICLE AND IMMEDIATELY HAVING ISSUES WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION AND DAMAGE TO MY CAR'S ENGINE. I PROVIDED DOCUMENTS NEEDED AND WAS DENIED. I BELONG TO A GROUP ON FACEBOOK FOR THIS LAWSUIT AND CUSTOMERS THAT ARE GETTING SCREWED OUT OF COMPENSATION FOR MONEY ALREADY PUT INTO THEIR VEHICLES. I PURCHASED MY CAR FOR $10,000 IN JUNE 2019 AND HAVE ALREADY PUT ALMOST $6,000 IN REPAIRS DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION BACK INTO MY CAR. I AM UPSIDE DOWN IN MY CAR, HAVE BARELY HAD IT A YEAR AND HALF AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AGAIN AND IS MOSTLY LIKE DUE TO THE SAME ISSUES. I CANNOT AFFORD A NEW VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE EXISTING LOAN. I AM ANGRY AT GM BECAUSE THEY KNOW THERE ARE EXISTING ISSUES IN ALL OF THESE CARS AND THERE IS EVEN A NEW LAWSUIT THAT HAS BEEN FILED FOR MORE OF THEIR VEHICLES. I AM LIVID FOR ALL THESE PEOPLE INCLUDING ME THAT CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THEIR VEHICLES IN [XXX] CONDITION PARTICULARLY NOW WHEN INDIVIDUALS HAVE LOST

CAR WONT TURN ON AND KEYS STUCK IN IGNITION I CAN'T LOCK MY CAR

MY CAR BEGAN OVERCONSUMING OIL THE MOMENT I BOUGHT IT IN 2016. IT BROKE DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD NO OIL IT EVEN THOUGH I JUST HAD THE OIL REPLACED MERELY DAYS BEFORE. WE WERE IN ANOTHER STATE, SO I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED AND RENTED A RENTAL CAR FOR SEVERAL DAYS. IT COST ME OVER $1,000 TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR AND ASSOCIATED RENTAL COSTS. ULTIMATELY, THE CAR WAS SUBJECT TO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND THE ENTIRE ENGINE HAD TO BE REBUILT. LAST YEAR, MY TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET. I HAD TO GET THAT REPLACED TOO. NOW GM IS REFUSING TO COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR UNDER THE CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE.

I HAVE SPENT MORE THAN 10K ON REPAIRS ON MY CAR DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS. THAT INCLUDES A REPLACEMENT OF ENGINE AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER, PLUS OTHER REPAIRS WHILE THEY TRIED TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE ENGINE. I AM PART OF THE CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT AND I HAVE PROVIDED ALL DOCUMENTS TO THE SETTLER AND MY CLAIM HAS BEEN DENIED. NEVER BUYING A GM VEHICLE AGAIN.

I GOT THE VEHICLE APRIL 12TH,2019 DRIVING TO WORK VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THEN DIED. OIL CHANGE END OF OCT THROUGH MIDAS. TOWED TO GM PART OF CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BERMAN B MOTORS CLAIM BEING DENIED AS SAYING OUTSIDE OF SCA DATE. THEY SAY SCA DATE 12/14/2009 THE VEHICLE WASN'T MADE UNTIL JUNE OF 2010. I HAD IT TOWED IN 12/11/2019 THEY COULDN'T SERVICE IMMEDIATELY AS RURAL AREA AND OTHER VEHICLES WAITING BEFORE MINE. GOT VEHICLE OUT 1/28/2020. CLAIM WAS DENIED SAYING WAS OUTSIDE SCA DATE. CAUSE FOUND BY TECH WAS ENGINE DAMAGE DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. MANY ENGINE PARTS WERE REPLACED. TIMING CHAIN AND VALVES WERE COVERED BY GM WHEN MGR OF ART HASSLER SEEN IT WAS A EQUINOX THEN PUT BACK IN LINE BECAUSEOF DATE THE REPAIR HAD TO BE DONE. 2300.00 AND OVER TO GET OUT. 2 SERVICE PAPERS. NO OIL LIGHT CAME ON. MAY STILL HAVE DEBRIS IN ENGINE. NEEDS EXHAUST MANIFOLD,BALL JOINTS JUST HAD FRONT BRAKES REPLACED AND SENSOR THAT SAID ALL WHEEL DRIVE IS OFF FEATURE AT MIDAS. ITS ALWAYS SOMETHING. GM SHOULD DO SOMETHING THEY SHOULD HAVE APPROVED MY CLAIM AS IT WAS IN THE SHOP THE WHOLE TIME FROM 12/11/2019 TO 1/28/2020. THEY HAVEN'T OFFERED ANY RESOLUTION OR MONEY OFF A NEW VEHICLE NOTHING. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THERE ARE TOO MANY OF US WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

NO ONE TOLD ME WHEN I GOT THIS CAR HOW BAD THE OIL CONSUMPTION WAS! I GO THROUGH 5 QUARTS OF OIL IN LESS THAN 2,000 MILES. IT'S STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING. IT'S SUPER DANGEROUS

I LOVE MY CAR WAS SO PROUD OF BESSY! I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND IT JUST STOPPED. WOULDN'T CRANK. GOT IT HOME TO BE TOLD THAT IT'S THE TIMING CHAIN. THAT'S $1000-$1500 THAT I DON'T HAVE. ESPECIALLY SINCE I'M TAKING CARE OF MY MOTHER N LAW SINCE MY FATHER N LAW DIED FROM CANCER. AND NOW MY HUSBAND CAN'T WORK DUE TO BEING ALMOST CRIPPLED. I STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH DUE TO HEARING ABOUT A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE AFTER I BOUGHT IT. TURNS OUT THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE, ALMOST EVERYBODY WHO OWNS A CHEVY EQUINOX HAS THE SAME PROBLEM! WHY IS THIS?? WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN FIXED YET?? WHY KEEP MAKING THE SAME MISTAKE AGAIN AGAIN?? NOW MY CAR IS SITTING IN THE YARD. I HAVE A 7 YR OLD SON THAT I CAN'T EVEN TAKE TO THE DOCTOR WITH NO WAY OF GOING OR THE REST OF MY FAMILY. SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS CHEVELOT GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS??? I WAS HOPING ONE DAY TO GET A BRAND NEW ONE! PLEASE HELP!!!

2.4-LITER ECOTEC ENGINES SUFFER FROM THE DEFECT THAT CONSUMES OIL AT A VERY HIGH RATE. THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF THE DEFECT IS MALFUNCTIONING PISTON RINGS, WHICH ARE PRONE TO PREMATURE WEAR, THE JUDGE'S ORDER STATES. THE DEFECT NECESSITATES THE NEED FOR THE CAR OWNER TO REPLENISH THE CAR'S OIL MORE FREQUENTLY. WE CHANGE OIL EVERY MONTH BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT NOW IS WORSE BECAUSE IS COMING NOW WHITE SMOKE AND SHAKING ALL THE ENGINE SO ITS NOW OUT OF ROAD MY EQUINOX SO I AM WAITING FOR THIS SOLUTION FROM GM BUT NOT ANSWERS.

MY VEHICLE LEAKS A LOT OF OIL INTERNALLY. I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT MY INTAKE VALVES ARE COVERED IN OIL AND MY PISTONS ARE ALSO CONTAINING OIL. THE MECHANISM TO CONTROL/DRAIN THAT OIL DOESN'T WORK. BECAUSE OF THIS THE CAR IS KNOCKING AND STALLING AT IDLE.

AFTER A SHORT WARM UP (5-10 MINUTES OF DRIVING), THE STEERING WHEEL WILL INTERMITTENTLY LOSE POWER AND IS DIFFICULT TO STEER. IT IT DOESN'T MATTER THE TYPE OR SPEED OF DRIVING FOR THIS TO HAPPEN.

JUST BOUGHT A 2010 CHEVY EQUONOX LTZ AND I COULDN'T GET THE SEAT BELT LATCHED. THIS MODEL OF THE EQUINOX ISNT ANY BETTER THAN MY 07 EQUINOX AS FAR AS BIG LARGE OR OBESE PERSONS AS I AM, GETTING THE SEAT BELT TO LATCH BEHIND ME. IT TORE THE SKIN OFF MY KNUCKLE AND O STILL COULDNT GET IT LATCHED. I JUST TEST DROVE IT WITHOUT IT BUCKLED . I EVEN PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT AND TRIED TO PULL UP ON THE STATIONARY CONNECTION PIECE BUT IT DONT BUDGE . WHOEVER DESIGNED THESE 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX FUD A VERY POOR JOB ON NOT THINKING OF LARGE FOLKS WHO DRIVE THESE SUVS. I STILL CAN'T GET IT LATCHED. I HAVE TO BUY AN EXTENSION PART THAT WILL CLICK IN THE FEMALE PART AND THEN EXTEND OUT A GOOD 5IN SO I CAN GET IT TO LATCH OR BUCKLE AND OPERATE VEHICLE SAFELY. I NOTICED THIS AS I GOT IN TO GO TEST DRIVE THIS 2010 EQUINOX LTZ. AND I COULD NOT GET IT TO LATCH I TRIED FOR 5 MINS AT THE DEALER LOCATION BUT DROVE OFF. PULLED OVER TRIED AGAIN, MO LUCK EITHER TIME. NOW AN EXTENSION WILL COST ME $15-20 AT LEAST. SO DOUBLE THAT BECAUSE IF I BUY ONE I'LL NEED ANOTHER FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEN MY WIFE DRIVES AND I'M THE PASSENGER SO THIS WILL COST ME $40 FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD OF BEEN ADDRESSED DURING MANUFACTURING. IT IS LOCATED CLEAR DOWN INSIDE BETWEEN THE SEAT AND THE BACK REST OF THE SEAT. VERY POOR LOCATION. PEOPLE ARENT GOING TO FIGHT THE BELT AND WON'T WEAR IT NOW. THINK OF LARGE PEOPLE WHY DONT YOU. IT NEEDS RECALLED AND THAT LATCH NEEDS MOVED UP AND TO THE SIDE OF DRIVER NOT AROUND THE BACK

VEHICLE DOESN'T SHIFT GEARS PROPERLY. FREQUENT HESITATION AND SURGING HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING.

MY 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX TIMING CHAIN IS BAD AND LEAKS OIL HAD THE CAR NO LONGER THEN A YEAR THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE IN THE CHEVY EQUINOX I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND BAD TIMING CHAIN IS ONE OF THE NUMBER 1 PROBLEMS IN THESE CARS AND THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON BAD TIMING CHAINS I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF 4 KIDS TRYING TO GET BY AND THIS IS MY ONLY CAR I HAVE ITS STALLS ON ME ALL THE TIME AND THERE ARE MANY TIMES IT WILL NOT STAY RUNNING AT ALL I AM ASKING TO PLEASE PAY TO HAVE IT FIX OR PAY HALF ITS A BEAUTIFUL CAR ITS SAD TO KNOW THIS IS A KNOWN FACTOR IN THESE CARS TO HAVE BAD TIMING CHAINS AND PISTON RINGS ON THE MOTOR BUT I AM MORE WORRY ABOUT THE TIMING CHAIN I DO NOT HAVE $1200 TO $1800 FOR A NEW TIMINING OR CAR PLEASE HELP.

WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING AND I PUT THE HEAT OR DEFROSTER ON POPPING NOISES COMING FROM CONTROL SYSTEM AND THEN IT CHANGES FROM HEAT TO COOL OR COLD AIR. I HAVE TO PLAY WITH THE SYSTEM SWITCHING BACK AN FORTH FROM A/C TO HEAT TO SOMETIMES TO GET THE HEAT BACK ON. SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT COME BACK . IT STARTED IN DECEMBER OF 2016 AN CONTINUES TILL PRESENT DATE. THE NHTSA COMPLAINT #09V49800 GM CHEVROLET IS SAYING 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX ARE NOT INCLUDED. BUT CAR HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THEIR RECALL.

IN 2016 THE DEFROSTER, DEFOGGER,HAVC SYSTEM STARTED TO MAKING POPPING NOISES WHICH WOULD THEN SWITCH THE HEAT TO COLD AIR. TO GET THE THE SYSTEM TO PROVIDE HEAT IN THE VEHICLE YOU HAVE TO PLAY WITH THE BUTTONS GOING BACK AN FORTH HEAT TO A/C. IF YOUR LUCKY YOU WILL GET THE HEAT BACK ON. IT ALSO AFFECTS THE ILLUMINATION OF THE DASH AND RADIO LIGHTING. IT IS A TREMENDOUS SAFETY HAZARD IN THE WINTER TO NOT HAVE HEAT FOR THE DEFROSTERS AN HEAT FOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. IT CONTINUES TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM.

COMPUTER CHIP MALFUNCTION, STABILITY TRAC, SMOKE FROM EXHAUST WITH FUMES RELEASED INTO THE INTERIOR,, DRIVER SEAT MALFUNCTION, AND OTHER THAT I CANNOT DO IT INTO WORDS , THIS ALL HAPPENED WHEN VEHICLE HAD 138,000 MILES AND ALSO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT , FUEL PUMP , IGNITION COMPARTMENT, VEHICLE IS A 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX ALL WHEEL DRIVE LTZ AND ALSO THE AWD DOES NOT WORK LIGHTS FLICKERING MULTIPLE MALFUNCTIONS WHEELS LOCK UP SOMETHING WITH THE DIFFERENTIAL I DON'T KNOW IT DOES NOT EVEN SHIFT WHEN I PUT IT IN THE MANUAL I'VE DONE EVERYTHING I COULD TO GET INSPECTIONS AND I CANNOT FIND THE RIGHT DEALER TO GIVE ME AN ANSWER THEY ALL JUST WANT MY MONEY AND I'M AN HONEST PERSON AND I WANT TO HELP A GREAT MECHANIC OUT BY BRINGING THEM BUSINESS AND REFERRING THEM CUSTOMERS I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO I'M STUCK I NEED HELP PLEASE I HAVE A ONE-YEAR-OLD SON I HAVE A FAMILY AND WE HAVE ONE VEHICLE AND IT'S THE CHEVY EQUINOX, OH AND ALSO THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT SIZE TIRES BEING THAT IT'S ALL-WHEEL DRIVE THE FRONT TIRES HAVE SMALLER WHEELS I MEAN SMALLER TIRES THAN THERE IS ON THE REARS SO BOTH FRONTS AND PASSENGER ARE SMALLER THAN THE RE AR DRIVER AND REAR PASSENGER THE ONES ON THE REAR ARE CORRECT AND WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ON THAT CAME OUT OF FACTORY THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ALL FOUR OF THE SAME OF THE ONES THAT ARE ON THE REAR BECAUSE OF THE FACT IT'S ALL WHEEL DRIVE AND THEY CAN MESS UP THE TRANSMISSION AND I THINK IT DID BUT I'M NOT SURE I NEED PROFESSIONAL HELP ASAP THANK YOU SO MUCH AND HAVE A BLESSE

IT USES OIL LIKE CRAZY. WE HAVE CHANGED EVERYTHING,BESIDES GETTING A NEW MOTOR. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK TONIGHT AND THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON OUT OF NO WHERE. MY BRAKES WHERE TRYING TO LOCK UP. WHEN YOU CRANK IT NOW IT MAKES A FUNNY NOICE

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, STATIONARY, ALL NIGHT, ALL MORNING, KEY WAS NOT IN THE IGNITION, NO ONE AROUND, IT STARTED BY ITSELF. NO ONE WAS IN THE VEHICLE AND THE DOORS LOCKED. WHEN NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR LEFT HIS HOUSE, IN THE MORNING, HE NOTICED IT WAS RUNNING AND CHECKED TO SEE IF THE KEY WAS IN THE IGNITION, IT WASN'T, AND THEN IF WE WERE AROUND, WE WEREN'T. THEN HE TOUCHED THE HOOD OF THE CAR TO SEE IF IT WAS HOT, IT WASN'T AND WAITED UNTIL THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF. IT RAN FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES BEFORE IT TURNED OFF. WE WERE TOLD IN THE EVENING OF WHAT HAPPENED AND WENT TO SEE IF THE VEHICLE WOULD START WITH THE KEY AND IT DID.

MY CAR WASN'T TELLING ME THAT OIL IS LOW. THEN IT STARTED LEAKING OIL LIKE CRAZY. EVERY OTHER DAY I WOULD PUT OIL. AND DO FREQUENT OIL CHANGE. ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING IN THE FREEWAY WITH MY KIDS IN THE BACK SEAT. GOING 70MPH MY CAR SUDDENLY GIVES OUT. HAVE TO RUSH TO PARK IT ASIDE. THEN MY CAR WONT RUN. CALL MY INSURANCE BUT THEH COULDN'T HELP WITH TOWING. I SPEND $200 JUST TO TAKE IT BACK TO A MECHANIC. WHERE THEN HE SAID MY ENGINE NO GOOD I NEED A NEW ONE. I STILL OWE $5,000 TO THIS CAR! I'VE BEEN PAYING AHEAD OF TIME TO GET PAID OFF. NOW IS NOT RUNNING AND JUST SITTING ON MY DRIVEWAY FOR MONTHS. AND STILL NEED TO PAY IT.

VEHICLE JUST REACHED THE 100K MILE MARK. WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE TRANSMISSION WENT FULLY OUT OF COMMISSION. ALWAYS HAD OUR CHANGED AND ALL REPAIRS DONE AT DEALERSHIP. BRAKES REPLACED AND OIL CHANGED AT 104,976 WITH MULTIPOINT INSPECTION DONE AT DEALERSHIP. NO PROBLEMS REPORTED AT THIS TIME. TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 105,638.

VEHICLE IS BURNING ASTRONOMICAL AMOUNTS OF OIL, EVEN WHEN CAR IS SITTING. CAR RUNS ROUGH AND IDLES AND ACTS AS IF IT WILL STALL OUT. THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS HAVE COME ON. CAR ACTS LIKE IT WON'T START AND TAKES A FEW TIMES BEFORE IT ACTUALLY STARTS UP. HAVE REPLACED SO MANY PARTS AND OF COURSE AT 155,000 MILES FOR A 2010 EQUINOX WE DON'T QUALIFY UNDER THE PENDING LAWSUIT. CAR IS PARKED BECAUSE IT USES SO MUCH OIL.

POWER STEERING BECOMES STIFF AND VARIABLE. DOESN'T GO BACK TO CENTER AFTER TURNING. THIS PROBLEM COMES AND GOES.

CODE P0300- CYLINDER #4 MISFIRE, EXTREME BLOW BY FROM INTERNAL FAILURE. WENT INTO COMPLETE SHUTDOWN ON HIGHWAY

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY POWER ENGINE LITE COMES ON AND ACTS LIKE IT IS GOING TO CUT OFF , SOME TIMES IT DOES. MY ABS LITE COMES ON AT ANYTIME, WHEN COMING TO A STOP MY BRAKES SLIP AND ACTS LIKE IT DOES NOT WANT TO CATCH, BRAKES ARE NEW! ALSO THE 2010 USES ABOUT 4 TO 5 QT IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES AND THERE IS NO LEAKS. DEFOGGER DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. AND KNOW HAVING ENGINE PROBLEMS. HAVE CHANGED THE O2 SENSOR STILL SAYS THEY NEED TO BE CHANGED, HAVE CHANGED THE MANIFOLD AND SAYS THAT STILL NEEDS O BE CHANGED, ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. STABILLIY TRACK LIGHT COMES ON ALL THE TIME AS WELL. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER 6 YEARS!

MY VEHICLE WON'T START DUE TO CPU AND ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONING AND MY LOAN WARRANTY WOULDN'T COVER THE DAMAGES AND I ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 3 MONTHS MILEAGE IS UNDER 105000. MY NEGATIVE TERMINAL CABLE POPS OFF MY VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN RANDOMLY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CUTS ON WHEN I HIT 3 RPMS

BRAKES APPLY BY THEMSELVES, BRINGING CAR TO A STOP. CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME, INCLUDING WHEN TRYING TO CROSS A BUSY HIGHWAY, ETC.

A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO I STARTED EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH VEHICLE. AT SPEEDS OVER 60 THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE AND WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE CAR WOULD DO A ROCKING MOTION. TODAY ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR WAS DRIVING FINE THAN RANDOMLY A LIGHT POPPED ON THAT SAID LOW OIL CONSUMPTION TURN OFF ENGINE AND THE CAR BEGAN EXCESSIVELY SMOKING FROM UNDER HOOD. I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED I THE OIL AND IT WAS EMPTY ADDED 4 QUARTS IT WAS STILL EMPTY LOOKED UNDER CAR AND OIL HAD LEAKED EVERYWHERE. NO PRIOR WARNING LIGHTS OR CHECK OIL OR LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHTS WERE ON. I GET PROPER OIL CHANGES WHEN DUE. A COUPLE OF MOTHS BACK I WAS HAVING SEVERAL ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE AS WELL WERE THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WOULD POP ON AND OFF AIR AND RADIO WOULD TURN ITSELF ON AND OFF, DOORS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING ETC. AND TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED CHEVY DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED AND THESE ISSUES WERE MONTHS AFTER I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AFTER IT FAILS MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. *TR

HAD A OIL CHANGE APRIL 15 2020. CAR WAS DRIVING FINE ON MAY 26 DRIVING AND WHITE SMOKE COMES OUT OF NOWHERE. NO LOW ENGINE LIGHT OR NOTHING JUST A SAD DAY. *TR

THE OTHER DAY IT WAS RAINING SLIGHTLY AND I WAS AT MY FRIENDS HOUSE. LATER WHEN I LEFT IT WAS RAINING HARDER SO I WAS USING MY WIPERS AND WHEN I HAD GOTTEN 5 MINS DOWN THE ROAD MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AND IT CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE A THING. WHEN THAT HAPPENED I HIT SOMETHING AND WAS IN THE GRASS A BIT. NOW I HAVE A CHUNK OF MY BUMPER GONE AND A HEADLIGHT OUT CAUSE OF WHAT I HIT. WHICH I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS I HIT. NOW MY WIPERS DON'T WORK, A CHUNK OF MY BUMPER IS GONE, AS WELL AS SOME PLASTIC UNDER MY CAR CAME OFF. *TR

NO DEFROST/HEAT. ALL ELECTRONICS TURN OFF IT DOES NOT MATTER HIGHWAY/CITY. WHEN TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGES DASH WILL CUT OFF AND I HAVE TO RESTART. I HAVE HAD MY CAR JUST LOSE POWER FOR NO REASON HIGHWAY OR CITY. THIS THING IS NOT SAFE! I KNOW THE DATE STATES 12/31/2019. HOWEVER I HAVE DEALING WITH THIS SINCE I GOT THIS THING. *TR

THIS 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX CONSUMES A LOT OF OIL, LIKE EVERY TANK OF GAS I HAVE TO ADD OIL. THIS SHOULDN'T BE.

2 DAYS AFTER DRIVING THIS 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX OFF THE LOT. THE POWER STEERING PUMP GOES OUT. THE POWER STEERING HAD A WINDING NOISE SINCE IT WAS REPLACED, AND THEY TOLD ME THERE MAY JUST BE AIR IN THE LINE. AFTER RIVING IT THAT WAY FOR A MONTH TOOK IT IN TO GET THAT LOOKED AT AND THEY ENDED UP REPLACING THAT AND SAID IT WAS A FAULTY PUMP. THEN DAYS LATER ONE OF THE TIRE SENSORS GOES OUT. HAD THAT REPLACED! THEN A FEW HOURS AFTER DRIVING IT THAT SAME TIRE SENSOR GOES OUT AGAIN. THIS IS THE WORST VEHICLE THAT GENERAL MOTORS AS MADE!!!!! IT HAD NEW TIRES WHEN WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND NOT EVEN 8 MONTHS THE TWO REAR TIRES WERE MAKING THE REAR END SLIDE ALL OVER THE ROAD AND AFTER INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM I FOUND THE TWO REAR TIRES HAD WIRES SHOWING ON THE INSIDE OF THE WHEEL TREAD ALL THE WAY AROUND THE WHEELS. TAKE IT IN AND THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE A TIRE ROTATION! WELL, AFTER REPLACING THE TIRES, THEN 6 MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD THE NEW TIRES ARE IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE JUST ON THE REAR TIRES. THERE IS NO WAY THAT YOU NEED TO HAVE A TIRE ROTATION THAT OFTEN. HAD THEM REPLACED ONCE AGAIN. THE HEAT STOPPED WORKING AND ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR! FOUND OUT THAT THESE VEHICLES ARE KNOWN FOR THIS ISSUE. THAT SENSOR UP UNDER THE GLOVE BOX ISN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO OPEN/CLOSE THE VENT TO KEEP REGULATING THE HEAT CONTROL. NOW, THE 2ND SET OF TIRES HAVE THE SAME WIRES GOING AROUND THE TIRES!!!!! MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE! IF, GM DOESN'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE ISSUES THEY ARE GOING

I HAD MY EQUINOX REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL FOR OIL CONSUMPTION, YET IT IS STILL BURNING OIL. THE HEAT AND AC ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY, TO GET HEAT I HAVE TO TURN THE DIAL BACK AND FORTH AND MAYBE IT WILL WORK MOST OF THE TIME I HAVE TO DRIVE ABOUT A HALF A MILE FOR IT TO BLOW HEAT. THE AC IS JUST NOT WORKING AT ALL. THE INFO PANEL IN THE CENTER OF THE DASH WILL GO OUT AND COME BACK ON LATER. WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR WILL JUST SLOW DOWN LIKE I'M NOT PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AT ALL. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO GET STUCK IN A GEAR CAUSING THE RPMS TO RISE AND STAY UNTIL I TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR. THE CAR MAKES A CLICKING SOUND WHEN TURNING. IT SHAKES AT 60 MPH. ALSO I HAVE REPLACED HEADLIGHTS 2 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR.

MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE JUST STOPPED WORKING. YOU CAN HEAR THE MOTOR RUNNING BUT THEY DO NOT MOVE. I HAVE READ THAT THE 2013 THROUGH 2019 HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM. THEY JUST STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE POURING RAIN. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THIS PROBLEM. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. WHY ARE THEY NOT FIXING THE 2010-2013 MODELS? I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD PAY TO HAVE THIS FIXED. ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO LOSE THEIR LIFE BEFORE THEY ADD THESE OTHER CARS TO THIS RECALL! PLEASE GET BACK TO ME AS TO WHAT I SHOULD DO. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS NOW. I NEED MY CAR!!!

HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS , IT WONT DRIVE FRONTWARDS .

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR, THEN IT WOULD GO INTO FORWARD AND NOT REVERSE TOOK IT TO CHEVY AND WAS TOLD WE NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION
