2010 Chevrolet Equinox complaints

TAKATA RECALL: MY CARS ENGINE IS RUNNING EXTREMELY ROUGH, IT'S IDLING VERY "BUMPY" AND SEEMS TO SPUTTER, STALLING OUT (WHILE DRIVING OR STOPPED) AND CONTINUING TO RUN A FEW SECONDS AFTER I TURN IT OFF AND THE CHECK ENGINE KEEPS COMING ON AND GOING OFF. WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH IT, THE TECH EXPLAINED THAT MY HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP IS WHAT IS CAUSING ALL THE ISSUES. I WAS TALKING TO A FRIEND ABOUT IT AND SHE SENT ME A LINK SHOWING ME THAT A RECALL WAS DONE ON MY MAKE AND MODEL SO I CALLED MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY SHOW NOTHING FOR MY VIN. UPON CALLING THE ACTUAL CHEVY NUMBER LISTED ON THE SITE WHERE WE SAW THE RECALL THEY EXPLAINED THAT EVEN THOUGH MY CAR IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES FOR THE PART BEING RECALLED, MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED AND THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING! AFTER FINDING THIS WEBSITE I STARTED READING COMPLAINTS AND THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO ANOTHER PERSON WITH THE SAME VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THESE CARS ARE MADE IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AND THE PARTS IN THOSE LOCATIONS MAY BE MADE DIFFERENTLY THEN THE PARTS IN OTHERS BUT IF WE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, I WOULD THINK THAT ANOTHER INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE OPENED AND ANOTHER RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED INCLUDING ALL VIN'S FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL. IF THIS HAS TO BE PAID OUT OF POCKET A LITTLE HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED TOO. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX.

I ONLY HAVE 99,500 MILES ON MY 2010 EQUINOX RUNNING GOOD AND I KEEP UP ON THE MAINTENANCE AND FOR NO REASON THE TIMING CHAIN STRETCHED AND JUMPED WHEN I WENT TO START IT ONE DAY

I FILED A COMPLAINT 4 DAYS AGO #11182292. I'VE CONTACTED GM AND THEY HAVE NO RECALL ON MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE. THERE WAS A RECALL #090298 DONE FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM I'M EXPERIENCING. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR GM SEEMS WILLING TO INCLUDE MY CAR IN THIS RECALL. I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN LIVING ON A FIXED INCOME. I'M TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS TODAY. I'M ASKING FOR HELP PAYING FOR THIS IF IT IS DIAGNOSED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE VEHICLES THAT WERE RECALLED. ALL THE ITEMS LISTED ON THAT PARTICULAR RECALL # ARE IDENTICAL TYPE IDENTICAL TO WHAT I'M EXPERIENCING. YOUR ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED IN THIS MATTER.

SERVICE STABILITRAK, REDUCED ENGINE POWER, SLAPPING NOISE IN STEERING AS WELL AS MAJOR VIBRATION

THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM INTERMITTENTLY BLOWS EITHER HIGH HEAT OR NO HEAT AT ALL. I FOUND A SAFETY RECALL # 090298 FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM AND CALLED MY DEALER. THEY HAVE NO RECALL FOR THIS AND WON'T FIX IT FOR NO COST UNLESS THEY CAN FIND A RECALL! IF YOU NEED MORE INFORMATION PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. THIS HAPPENS OF COURSE WHEN IN MOTION NO MATTER WHAT TYPE OF STREET OR HIGHWAY I'M ON.

A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED MY USED EQUINOX MY WATER PUMP WENT OUT. WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY REALIZE THAT MY OPINIONS HAVE BEEN WORN AND MY TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AFTER MY ENGINE LIGHT POPPED ON.. THIS CAR HAS BEEN UNRELIABLE ALMOST THE WHOLE TIME I'VE OWNED IT. LAST MARCH I REPLACE THE TIMING CHAIN AGAIN. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I REALIZE THAT MY TIMING CHAIN KEEPS GETTING DESTROYED BECAUSE THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP IS LEAKING GAS INTO MY CRANKCASE. CHEVY HAS PUT OUT A RECALL FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE BUT MY VIN IS NOT LISTED. I'M NOT SURE WHY IT WOULDN'T BE LISTED ESPECIALLY SINCE I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS THAT IS LISTED IN THE BULLETIN.

VEHICLE BEGAN EXPERIENCING STALLING OUT. DETERMINED TO BE CAUSED BY METAL SHAVINGS IN ENGINE. THE ONLY PRIOR ENGINE WORK ON THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN DONE BY CHEVROLET TO ADDRESS A RECALL IN 2013 FOR HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION. THE ENGINE WAS REBUILT IN DECEMBER OF 2013. NO OTHER WORK WAS DONE TO THE ENGINE. THE REPAIR FOR THIS ISSUE WAS REPLACEMENT OF THE ENGINE.

WIPERS SPONTANEOUSLY STOPPED WORKING. MOTOR CONTINUED BUT CONNECTION ASSEMBLY DETERIORATED AND FELL APART. HAD TO REPLACE ENTIRE MOTOR WIPER ASSEMBLY UNIT. THIS OCCURRED IN JUNE OF 2018.

14882 SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT-PLUGGED PCV ORIFICE IN INTAKE MANIFOLD. DEALER IN COLUMBUS NE. 68601 ERNEST AUTO SALES TOLD ME MY 2010 VIN. NUMBER NOT LISTED FOR THE RECALL BACK MAIN SEAL BLOWED OUT NO WARRANTY .I SEE OTHER PEOPLE SAME PROBLEM WITH SEAL AND AGAIN ARE CARS NOT COVERED. I OWN 2 EQUINONS 2010 AND 2018.. MAYBE I NEED TO LOOK AT OTHER BRANDS INSTEAD IF YOU HAVE A KNOW PROBLEM AND WONT STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT THAT'S SAD YOU MAKE YOUR DECISION AND ILL MAKE MINE!!! I WAS DRIVING IT STARTED TO SMOKE A LITTLE PLUS COULD SMELL IT WHEN I STOPED

DRIVING ON STATE HIGHWAY WHEN VEHICLE STARTED ACTING LIKE IT WOULD DIE. I WAS ALMOST HOME AND WHEN I PARKED IT FOUND IT HAD ALMOST NO OIL IN VEHICLE AFTER CHECKING IT BEFORE TRAVELING HOME. OIL LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. MECHANIC SAYS FROZEN PCV VALVE IN REAR CRANKSHAFT; IT COULD HAVE BLOWN AND LEFT ME STRANDED OR IN ACCIDENT; MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS A RECALL BUT MY PARTICULAR VIN WASN'T INCLUDED

WIPERS TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING. TRANSMISSION REVVING HIGH BEFORE SHIFTING. MOTOR TICKING.

WIPER STOPPED WORKING LINKAGE BROKE

WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY DURING A STATE OF EMERGENCY SNOW STORM AND THE WIPERS WENT COMPLETELY OUT I SPINNED AND ALMOST CRASHED. AFTER READING REVIEWS THIS IS COMMON AND GM ONLY RECALLED CERTAIN YEARS AND VIN NUMBERS LEAVING OTHERS TO DEAL WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN. MY SON WAS ALSO IN THE CAR AND A PART OF THE FAULTY WIPER SYSTEM CHEVY IS SELLING TO ITS CUSTOMERS.

BALANCE CHAIN PINS WEAR, ALLOWING THE CHAIN TO STRETCH.CAUSE ENGINE NOISE. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A BRAKE JOB AND SAID THE ENGINE IS MAKING NOISES IT SHOULDN'T BE MAKING.THE ADVISOR SAID THAT'S NOMAL FOR THAT CAR TO MAKE THAT NOISE.IT'S THE SAME RECALL FOR THE 2010-2011 EQUINOX ON THE 2.4L ENGINE.(LAF).THAT YEAR 2010-2011 HAVE A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENTTHE 2014 EQUINOX HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AND YOU NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE PEOPLE PAYING FOR A NO FIX.

THIS IS THE 2ND TIME MY WIPERS HAVE SEIZED WHILE OPERATING DURING A SNOWFALL. IT WAS NOT STORMY BLIZZARD CONDITIONS EITHER JUST HAD THE WIPERS ON SLOW TO CLEAR LIGHT SNOW. I WAS CITY DRIVING BARELY DOING 25 BOTH TIMES. IT HAPPENED LAST APRIL I HAD IT REPAIRED. NOW THEY SEIZED AGAIN LAST NIGHT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZZARD AND I THIS CHEVROLET SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. I HAD LESS THEN 100,000 MILES ON IT THE FIRST TIME AN NOW I HAVE 104,000 AND IT BROKE AGAIN.

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A RAIN STORM ON INTERSTATE 495 SOUTH CAPITAL BELTWAY THE CAR WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED. THE WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK.

WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD. THE STABILI TRACK CAME ON AGAIN HAD THIS REPLACED LAST YEAR, CAME ON THE THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE IN DRIVE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. SCARED ME TO DEATH. HAD TO HAVE TO HAVE TOWED, NOW I'M LOOKING AT PAYING MORE TO GET IT FIXED THEN WHAT I OWE ON IT

I NEED TO REPORT THAT WHEN DRIVING ON THESE ICY ROADS THAT MY AWD EQUINOX FEELS LIKE IT SWERVES? IT FEELS LIKE IT TAKES ME INTO THE OTHER LANE MOST OF THE TIME. NOW, I DON'T KNOW IF ITS THE AWD CAUSING IT BUT OTHER AWD VEHICLES THAT I'VE DRIVEN HAVE NEVER DID IT THIS BAD TO THE POINT THAT IT FEELS ALMOST LIKE MY BACK END STARTS GOING SIDEWAYS.

ON MONDAY 1/21/2019, MY CAR BROKE DOWN ON THE SIDE OF A BUSY FOUR LANE ROAD. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC'S SHOP WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A BAD PCV VALVE SYSTEM. THIS PART IS ENGINEERED VERY POORLY AND GM HAS CONTINUED TO USE IT ANYWAY. THE PCV VALVE SYSTEM ALLOWS WATER TO COLLECT IN IT AND THEN FREEZE, IN RETURN BLOWING OUT THE REAR MAIN SEAL SO THE ENGINE NO LONGER HOLDS OIL. CURRENTLY, GM HAS A "RECALL" ON THIS PART, GM BULLETIN #14882, WHICH SHOULD COVER A CAR OF THE EXACT SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR AS MINE FOR UP TO 120,000 MILES OR 10 YEARS. MINE FALLS WITHIN BOTH OF THOSE SPECS. HOWEVER, WHEN CONTACTING GM ABOUT THIS RECALL, I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THIS SPECIFIC RECALL "DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VIN#." AFTER RESEARCHING, I'VE DISCOVERED THIS IS A MUCH LARGER PROBLEM THAN GM IS WILLING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR, AS IT IS HAPPENING TO MANY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS NATIONWIDE AND THEY'RE ALL BEING TOLD THE SAME THING I WAS, THAT IT DOESN'T MATCH THE VIN#. I SPENT TWO DAYS MAKING PHONE CALLS, BEING ON HOLD, AND WAITING FOR A RETURN PHONE CALL FROM SOMEONE IN THE "EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT." BECAUSE I COULDN'T WAIT TO HAVE A WORKING CAR WHILE WAITING ON THEIR PHONE CALL, I INSTRUCTED MY REPAIR MAN TO FIX MY CAR AND NOW I'M BEING TOLD GM WILL NOT HELP ME AT ALL BECAUSE I HAD IT REPAIRED ON MY OWN ACCORD. WHEN TRYING TO ORDER THIS PART TO REPAIR MY CAR, MY REPAIR MAN DISCOVERED THAT THIS PART IS BACKORDERED THROUGH GM, BECAUSE EVERYONE NEEDS IT REPLACED. THE SHOP MY CAR IS BEING

JANUARY 8TH IT WAS RAINING REALLY HEAVY AND I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY CITY STREET TO WORK THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST SUDDENLY STOPPED. ALSO RIGHT AFTER I'VE GOTTEN MY CAR MY CAR WAS MAKING A LOUD NOISE I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THERE'S A CRACK IN THE EXHAUST BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS HE SAID ARE VERY COMMON IN ALL THE EQUINOX AND THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2013 CHEVY EQUINOX

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 28 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MIKE ANDERSON CHEVROLET OF MERRILLVILLE (1550 61ST AVE, MERRILLVILLE, IN 46410, 219-947-4151) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIPER TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 105,000.

"TAKATA RECALL" SO FOR THE LAST MONTH OR SO I'VE BEEN DRIVING AND OR JUST AT A STOPLIGHT OR A STOP SIGN AND MY CAR WOULD GO IN A POWER MODE AND I CAN'T GET OUT OF 10 MILES PER HOUR ITS SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT TRACT SYSTEM AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF FOR A COUPLE MINUTES FOR IT TO GET OUT OF THAT MODE BUT SOMETIMES IT DON'T EVEN DO IT. IT CAN DO IT 10 TIMES THE TIME THAT I'M DRIVING IT'S VERY UNSAFE AND AS I'M READING ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS EVERYONE OR A LOT OF PEOPLE IS HAVING THIS ISSUE IT'S VERY SCARY AND I'M STILL PAYING ON THIS CAR I ONLY HAD IT FOR JUST ABOUT TWO YEARS RIGHT NOW I WOULD PLEASE LIKE TO FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MY CAR BEFORE I HAVE TO PAY A LOT OF MONEY TO GET IT FIXED WHEN WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY WHILE DRIVING AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY INJECTOR NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 168,000.

EXHAUST LEAK BETWEEN THE MANIFOLD AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER WITH ONLY 57,000 MILES. DANGEROUS ODOR AND POTENTIAL CARBON MONOXIDE EXPOSURE. THERE WAS NO INCIDENT THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS PROBLEM. MECHANIC STATES THAT PROBLEM HAS BEEN COMMON AMONG GM SUVS THIS PAST YEAR.

WINDSHIELD TAKES UP TO HALF AN HOUR TO DEFROST WHEN FIRST STARTED IN COLD WEATHER. I HAVE TO MANUALLY WIPE OFF THE INSIDE WINDSHIELD A FEW TIMES SO THAT I CAN DRIVE TO WORK. WINDSHIELD WILL FOG UP WHILE DRIVING IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS, SUCH AS RAIN, ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS MORE THAN ONE PERSON IN THE VEHICLE, AND IT WILL TAKE TOO LONG TO DEFOG, LIMITING VISIBILITY. WHEN THE HEAT IS ON FOR LONG PERIODS, THE RADIO OVERHEATS AND STOPS WORKING PROPERLY. HEAT CONTINUES TO COME OUT OF THE VENTS EVEN WHEN IT IS TURNED OFF. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON MAY 21, 2016.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECAME INOPERABLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CLEMENTS CHEVROLET (1000 12TH ST SW, ROCHESTER, MN 55902, (507) 289-0491) AND THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 9-4957761457. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER'S SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT HAVING MAJOR IMPACT. DRIVER BRUSHED A CURB WHILE DRIVING THE AND AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THERE IS NO SIGN OF IMPACT OR DAMAGE ON THE VEHICLE THAT SHOULD HAVE RESULTED IN THIS HAPPENING.

WHILE TRAVELING AT 65 MPH DURING A RAIN STORM, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE HOME, WE DISCOVERED THE WIPER LINKAGE HAD FAILED. THE BALL JOINTSIN THE LINKAGE WERE SEVERELY CORRODED AND WORN. SEEMS.TO.BE THE EXACT FAILURE THAT WAS RECALLED ON THE 2013 EQUINOX MODELS (16V582000). WHEN ORDERING REPAIR PARTS I NOTED THE WIPER LINKAGE IS COMMON TO ALL EQUINOX MODELS FROM 2010-2017. VEHICLE HAS ROUGHLY 80,000 MILES AT TIME.OF FAILURE.

SABILITRAK, POWERTRAIN, THROTTLE CAME ON AGAIN PAID $457.90 1/25/2016. AC & HEATING UNIT NOT WORKING CLICKING SOUND REPLACED 8/26/2015, KEY IS STUCK IN IGNITION, NO LIGHTS, CAR NOT MOBILE (NOW).

I HAVE A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX MILEAGE 078815 ,YESTERDAY WHILE OUT RUNNING ERRANDS AND HAD STOPPED AT SEVERAL LOCATIONS IN TOWN .I HAD NO WARNING AT LAST STOP .I GOT BACK IN SUV AND IT STARTED UP OK AND GOT READY TO BACK OUT OF PARKED SPOT SHIFTED TO REVERSE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE BACKWARD OR FORWARD BUT GEAR SHIFT MOVED TO ALL LOCATION BUT SUV WOULD NOT . HAD TO GET IT TOWED HOME

CAR JUST SHUTS OFF WHEN ON FREE WAY DOING 70 OR AT STOP LIGHT THEN MESSAGE CENTER SAYS STABILITY TRACK CONTROL THEN IT MAY SIT FOR 5 MIN AND THEN RESTART OR MAY REQUIRE A JUMP START PUT IN NEW BATTERY AND HAD ALTERNATOR TESTED VERY UNSAFE AUTOMOBILE

9/24/2018 POURING RAIN MY WIPERS STOPPED ON I75 IN TENNESSEE. SCARIEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE TIME. WAS ABLE TO GET TO A DEALER IN CLEVELAND TN. $432 TRANSMISSION WIPER FAILED. I AM NOW SEEING OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL MY SUV KEEP TURNING OFF EVERY TIME I MAKE A STOP ON A RED LIGHT OR A STOP SIGN OR EVEN WHEN I AM IN TRAFFIC. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE I SEND IT TO EVERY SHOP TO TRY TO FIX SOME DON'T KNOW THE PROBLEM OR OTHERS DON'T WANT TO EVEN TRY TO FIX IT I EVEN SEND IT TO CHENEY DEALERS AND THEY THINK IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE THEY CHANGE THAT PART BUT STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM I BEEN SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY ON THIS SUV THAT I JUST DON'T WANT TO BOTHER ANYMORE. PLEASE TRY TO HELP ME OUT. THE BAD THINK TOO IS THAT I AM STILL PAYING FOR THIS CAR AND I ASKED THE FINANCIAL WORKER TO HELP ME AND THEY DON'T CARE. WE KEEP SEARCHING ONLINE WHAT TO DO AND I'M READING THAT THESE CARS ARE RECALLS SO PLEASE TRY TO HELP ME OUT. THANK YOU

THIS SUV HAS HAD A NEW TRANSMISSION, MOTOR AND NOW IT HAS BEEN JUST CUTS OUT AND NO POWER AND ON THE MESSAGE CENTER SAYS STABILITY TRACK LIGHT WE HAVE PUT A NEW BATTERY AND BROUGHT IT TO TWO DIFFERENT GM CERTIFIED CAR GARAGES AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO CAR IS UNSAFE WHEN IT JUST DECIDES TO RANDOMLY STALL OUT AND HAS NO POWER UNTIL AFTER IT SITS FOR ABOUT 5 MIN IT MAY RESTART OR MAY NEED A JUMP START VERY SCARY SITUATION IT CAN HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING ON FREEWAY OR IN TOWN OR EVEN IN LINE A DRIVE THRU LINE IN PARK YOU NEVER KNOW THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 6-8 TIMES AND THERE IS NO WARNING OF WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN NOR ANY KIND OF PATTERN VERY SCARY AND UNSAFE

MY VEH STALLED ON ME MID DRIVE SAID ENGINE POWER REDUCED, IT DID NOT LET ME ACCELERATE AND I ALMOST GOT HIT. SIMULTANEOUSLY THE STABILITRACK MESSAGE CAME ON AND WATCH FOR ICE, DID THIS HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THE COLD? ALSO FEW DAYS LATER IT WAS STORMING AND MY WIPERS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDOW AND I WAS ON THE FWY IN THE FAST LANE. I HAD TO GET SOAKED FROM ROLLING M WINDOW DOWN TO PULL OVER. ROADSIDE CAME TO STOP TRAFFIC TO LET ME ON THE RIGHT SIDE SHOULDER BECAUSE I WAS LUCKY I HAD ROOM TO PULL OVER OR EVEN SEE IN THE FIRST PLACE. I COULDNT SEE ANYTHING!

I HAVE HAD TWO INCIDENTS OF WIPER FAILURE ON MY USED 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX. I JUST PURCHASED MY USED EQUINOX THE END OF AUGUST 2018. IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE, I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 95 IN MARYLAND, AND THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING DURING A RAIN INCIDENT. FORTUNATELY I MADE IT HOME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY SAID THEY REPAIRED THE BUSHINGS ON THE LINKAGE. THE 2ND INCIDENT HAPPENED IN NOVEMBER OF 2018 DURING A SNOW INCIDENT. MY WIFE WAS USING THE EQUINOX TO DRIVE TO THE BANK. IT WAS SNOWING AND SHE WAS USING THE WIPERS. AGAIN THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING! SHE WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME AND PARK IT SAFELY IN THE DRIVEWAY. WHEN SHE BROUGHT IT HOME, I WAS ABLE TO HEAR THE WIPER MOTOR WORKING, BUT THE ARMS WERE NOT MOVING. WE HAVE NOT USED THE VEHICLE SINCE THIS LAST INCIDENT HAPPENED. WE HAVE HAD TWO WIPER LINKAGE FAILURE INCIDENTS IN APPROX. 3 MONTHS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE WOULD HAVE DONE IF WE WERE ON A LONG FAMILY TRIP. IT IS VERY SCARY WHEN YOUR WIPERS STOP WORKING AND YOU CANNOT SEE THE ROAD YOU ARE DRIVING ON, OR TRAFFIC AROUND YOU.

I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE IN THE RAIN AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE WIPER STOPPED WORKING. MY SON REPLACED THE BUSHINGS, THEN ON MY WAY INTO WORK IN THE RAIN BOTH STOPPED WORKING I TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THEY TELL ME IT IS THE WIPER TRANSMISSION AND THE TRANSMISSION LINKAGE. THERE IS A RECALL IN THE US FOR 2013 BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE FOR 2010-2013 LIKE CANADA HAS. THIS DANGEROUS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHEN THE CONTACT ACTIVATED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO OPERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER TRANSMISSION UNIT WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000 *BF 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

ORIGINAL RECALL 09 V4 89000 WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE FIXED VISIBILITY ISSUE. CAR WAS TAKEN IN AT THE TIME OF THE ORIGINAL RECALL. THE VEHICLE IS SHOWING SYMPTOMS OF THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS BEFORE WHERE DEFROSTER IS NO LONGER WORKING BECAUSE OF CONTROLS NOT FUNCTIONING. RADIO IS ALSO OUT ALONG WITH POSSIBLE OTHER UNKNOWN ELECTRICAL ISSUES. WE'VE TURN THE CAR ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES HOPING IT WAS JUST A GLITCH, HOWEVER IT APPEARS THE PROBLEMS OF THE FIRST RECALL ARE BACK AGAIN. DRIVING THE VEHICLE POSE A THREAT HAS WE LIVE IN WEATHER WE'RE HAVING TO HAVE CONTROL OVER THE DEFROSTING IS NEEDED. DEFROSTER AND PANEL DO NOT WORK BECAUSE OF LACK OF ELECTRICAL CONTROL. MY WORRY IS THAT THIS IS SYSTEMIC, THE THE ISSUE IS REOCCURRING, EVERY SO YEARS OR SO, THAT OTHER ISSUES WILL CONTINUALLY MAKE THIS AN ISSUE IN THE FUTURE.

AS DRIVING NOV 19, 2018. THE CAR STALLED, ENGINE PROBLEM, MY HUSBAND HAD TO PUSH ACROSS THREE LANES OF TRAFFICS ! ALMOST GOT RUN DOWN . FOR NO REASON THE CAR JUST STOPPED RUNNING! WE WERE PUTTING ONE QUART OF OIL PER WEEK?? IN BETWEEN REGULAR OIL CHANGES. THE CAR WAS TOWED, OUR MECHANIC TOLD US ENGIN SEIZED, NEEDED A NEW ENGINE?? WE STILL OWE 3700 ON THE CAR AND IT DOESN'T RUN?? I'M SO MAD THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL?? GM OWES US A NEW CAR!!

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A 4 LANE HIGHWAY, I SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND THE ENGINE STARTED CLATTERING. I LIMPED TO THE NEAREST EXIT, AND THAT IS WHERE THE CAR DIED. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST TOWN, AND THEN WE PUT IT ON A TRAILER AND TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC. HE SAID THAT IT HAD BLOWN A ROD IN THE ENGINE, AND THAT IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR $6000+. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS AT ALL. I HAD BEEN MONITORING THE OIL LEVEL BECAUSE I KNEW I WAS GETTING CLOSER TO A NEEDED OIL CHANGE. EVEN AFTER THIS HAPPENED, WE STARTED IT TO DRIVE IT ON AND OFF THE TRAILER, AND THERE WAS STILL NO OIL LIGHT!!! ALL RECALLS HAD BEEN DONE. AS WE HAD A 100,000 WARRANTY, IT WAS GONE THROUGH VERY CLOSELY BEFORE THAT EXPIRED.

EVEN WHEN MY SEATBELTS ARE CONNECTED THE WARNING CHIMES CONTINUE TO GO OFF. DURING MOTION, ON A CITY STREET AND EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY IT PERIODICALLY MAKES THE SOUND AS IF THE SEATBELT IS NOT CONNECTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY DECELERATED TO 15 MPH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS MORE PREVALENT DURING THE COLDER MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE CLEANED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

DRIVERS SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILED TO OPERATE.

EACH YEAR, WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES ARE COLD, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ENGINE LOSES POWER EITHER WHILE DRIVING OR IDLE, AND THE VEHICLE RUNS VERY ROUGH.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING IN RAIN STORM ON TOLL ROAD AT HIGH SPEED. HAD TO KEEP DRIVING WITH VERY LIMITED VISION. DID NOT WANT TO STOP ON TOLL ROAD. THE ARM FROM WITH WIPER TRANSMISSION CAME OFF THE MOTOR WHEEL THAT SPINS.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING DURING A DOWNPOUR ON A 6 LANE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. WIPER WAS OFF THE SIDE OF THE DRIVERS WINDOW, WAS ABLE TO PUSH THEM BACK INTO PLACE, AND YOU CAN HEAR THE WIPER MOTOR RUNNING, THE SPRAY STILL WORKED AND THE BACK WIPER BUT THE FRONT WIPERS WILL NOT MOVE. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION, EVEN MORE AO THAT MY 6 YEAR OKD WAS IN THE XAR WITH ME. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD.

I COULD NOT TURN ON MY DEFROST ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING I HAD TO PULL OVER AND WAIT FOR IT TO KICK BACK ON SO IT COULD DEFROST ENOUGH FOR ME TO SEE WHERE I WAS GOING TO GET HOME I HAVE THE VIDEOS

I RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USE IT WAS WONDERING WHY THE OWNER GOT RID OF IT NOW I KNOW. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH THE HILL ASSIST ON THIS VEHICLE AND I HAVE SEEN COMPLAINTS ON THE FORM THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND NOT KNOWN WHAT IT WAS. THE PROBLEM I'M HAVING IS WHEN THE HILL ASSIAT ENGAGE'S IT WILL NOT DISENGAGE LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO. I ACTUALLY HAD TO HAVE A MECHANIC RESET THE WHOLE COMPUTER TO GET IT TO DISENGAGE THE OTHER DAY AND REMOVE THE BATTERY TERMINAL TODAY TO GET A DISENGAGED. I EVEN CALLED THE DEALER TODAY AT THEY WEREN'T AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT CONVENIENT. SEVERAL MECHANICS KNOW BUT THE DEALER DOESN'T WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. I'VE ALREADY DIAGNOSED IT, I JUST WANT TOKNOW WHAT THE FIX IS. ACCORDING TO EVERY MECHANIC OF SPOKE TO ITS IN THE COMPUTER PROGRAMMING AND THERE IS NO FIX. I WILL HAVE ON THIS VEHICLE FOR WEEKS AND IT'S ALREADY HAPPENED TO ME 5 TIMES.

THE ARM/LINKAGE OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER TRANSMISSION BROKE CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO STOP WORKING. HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET.
