2010 Chevrolet Equinox complaints

TRANSMISSION FAILURE OF THE 3,5,R WAVE PLATE. COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL, TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE WIFE WAS HEADING TO WORK, BROKE DOWN IN BUSY INTERSECTION. GM WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE COMMON PROBLEM

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED. I TOOK THE CAR TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP WHO IMMEDIATELY IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS ARISING FROM A KEY PART IN THE WIPERS BEING MADE OF PLASTIC INSTEAD OF THE PREVIOUSLY USED METAL AND THIS WEARING OUT. HE SAID THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT A RECALL WAS LIKELY BUT THAT CHEVY WAS DRAGGING THEIR FEED. I UNDERSTAND THEY HAVE ISSUED THE RECALL IN CANADA. THE WIPERS FAILED WITHOUT WARNING DURING A MAJOR RAIN STORM, CREATING A VERY REAL SAFETY HAZARD AS I DROVE WITH YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR.

INSTRUMENT COMPUTER MAILFUCTIONIN. LIGHT AND CONTROLS STOP WORKING AND NOTHING ON RADIO LIGHTS UP. RADIO SCREEN AND AC/HEAT CONTROLS NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. CHECKED THERE WAS A RECALL PREVIOUSLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH IN A HEAVY RAIN STORM, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED OPERATING. THE FAILURE CAUSED A VISIBILITY HAZARD FOR THE DRIVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (KRING CHEVROLET, 1861 N. US-31, PETOSKEY, MI) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

THE VEHICLE HAS HAD HARD SHIFTING EVER SINCE I GOT IT AND THE OTHER DAY IN TOWN IT WAS NOT SHIFTING RIGHT AT ALL. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I'M STUCK IN SECOND GEAR. NO REVERSE, COULDN'T MANUALLY SHIFT I'M JUST STUCK IN SECOND. I COULD PUT THE CAR IN PARK SO I STOP AT A GROCERY STORE TO CHECK MY TRANSMISSION FLUID AND THERE WAS NO DIPSTICK WHAT THE HECK.SO I PUT MY FLASHERS ON AND DRIVE IN SECOND GEAR TO MY WIFES GRANDMOTHERS AND PARK IT. WHEN I GET HOME I RESEARCH AND I'VE COME UP WITH A WAVE PLATE CAUSING MY PROBLEM.

I REPLACED THE TIMING CHAIN IN JUNE AT MY MECHANIC...I DID NOT GO TO A DEALER BECAUSE I COULD NOT AFFORD THE $2000 THEY WERE ASKING TO FIX IT. IT IS NOW THE BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER AND I AM REPLACING THE TIMING CHAIN AGAIN. WHY AM I READING THIS WEBSITE AND SEEING THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE EQUINOX TIMING CHAIN AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE BY GM. THEY SHOULD RECEIVE CONSEQUENCES FOR A FAULTY PRODUCT. I CALLED THEM TO ASK WHY THERE WAS NOT A RECALL WHEN THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE. THEY WERE VERY RUDE AND WOULD NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE OVER EXTENDING.

WHILE DRIVING DURING A RAINSTORM THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. CHECKED THE FUSES, BUT ALL FUSES WERE GOOD. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID WAS WORKING BUT NOT THE WIPERS THEMSELVES. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE BACK HOME TOOK A LOOK AT THE WIPER ASSEMBLY AND ONE OF THE BUSHINGS BROKE OFF. HAD TO REPLACE THE BUSHING TO GET THE WIPERS TO WORK AGAIN.

MY IGNITION WHEN I TUEN MY KEY BACK TO TURN OFF MY CAR IT TRIES TO START BACK UP AGAIN BY ITSELF IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 7 OR 8 TIMES NOW. I HAVE BEEN ASKING AROUND WHAT THAT COOLD BE AND I GET IN RESPONSE THAT IT COULD BE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OR THE IGNITION. AND I STILL HAVE 3 YRS TO PAY FOR THIS CAR

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK. IT STARTED TO RAIN, SO I TURNED ON THE WIPERS, AND THEY SWIPED A FEW TIMES AND STUCK IN THE UPWARD LEFT POSITION AND STOPPED. I WAS ON A STATE HIGHWAY, AT THE TIME, AND FOUND IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE TO DRIVE. THE WIPERS HAVE NOT WORKED SINCE THAT DAY. UPON CHECKING ONLINE, I'VE FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND HAPPENS TO OTHERS EXACTLY THE SAME WAY IT HAPPENED WITH MY WIPERS. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CANADIAN MODEL FOR 2013, BUT HAVE NOT FOUND ONE FOR 2010 AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON ALL OF THE WIPERS FOR THIS MODEL. THE ARMS ON THE TRANSMISSION COME APART AND STOPS THE WIPERS FROM WORKING. NO WARNING......THEY JUST STOP. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. AND TO ADD TO THE PROBLEM...... TO REPAIR IT, THE MORE APPROPRIATE OPTION IS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION/MOTOR ASSEMBLY AND THAT PART IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE, AROUND $300. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BY CHEVY, AS IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND CAN CAUSE TERRIBLE ACCIDENTS IN THE BLINDING RAIN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

WIPERS STOPPED WORKING DUE TO A WORN BALL JOINT ON WIPER MOTOR. IT DOES SHOW A RECALL FOR NEWER ONES BUT NOT FOR THE 2010 YEAR. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A STATE HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSED DRIVER TO RUN INTO THE DITCH, HEAVY RAIN.

DRIVTNG 45 MILE HR SHOUDER MADE NOISE STOPPED AT TRAFFIC WOULD NOT MOVE CALLED AAA CARS WERE DRIVING AROUND ME RAMP TRUCK TOWED CAR TO BEST TRANSMISSION SHOP CALL GM SAID NO WARRANTY ONLY HAS 75,000 MILES

THE VEHICLE IS BURNING OIL OUT BEFORE THE GIVEN MILEAGE CAUSING THE ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON LOUD KNOCKING IN THE ENGINE SMOKE

1. TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. 2. ENGINE CONSUMES ALL OIL WITHIN 3,000 MILES.

2010 CHEVY EQUINOX WILL LOSE POWER AT ANY SPEED. I HAVE LOST POWER ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65MPH, LOCAL DRIVING AT 40MPH AS WELL AS STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. IT PRETTY MUCH JUST HAPPENS OUT OF THE BLUE ENDANGERING MY LIFE AS WELL AS THE VEHICLES AROUND ME. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON BUT DOES NOT STAY ON. IF I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF , IT WILL RESTART AND MAY RUN FINE FOR DAYS OR WEEKS AFTERWARD. I HAVE CONTACTED GM , BUT TO DATE HAVE NOT HAD THE ISSUE RESOLVED.

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, PULLED ONTO A STREET AND PUT THE CAR INTO PARK. ATTEMPTED AGAIN AND THE CAR SLOWLY DROVE. ANOTHER INCIDENT, MY SON WAS DRIVING AND HE SAID IT JUST "WOULDN'T DRIVE", LUCKILY HE WAS NEAR A RELATIVES HOUSE AND PULLED INTO THE DRIVE. HE ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE CAR AND PUT IT INTO REVERSE AND IT WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. THE CAR IS NOW AT A CHEVY DEALER. NOW THIS MAY NOT BE DEEMED A "SAFETY ISSUE", BUT WHAT IS THE ISSUE, THE CAR ONLY HAS 65,000 AND WE ARE BEING TOLD BY CHEVY THAT THE CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. AT WHAT POINT CAN A NON-SAFETY ISSUE BE DEEMED A RECALL. APPARENTLY THERE IS A BULLETIN REGARDING THE CHEVY EQUINOX 2010, MANY MANY COMPLAINTS, AND CHEVY WILL NOT REPAIR THEM. WHAT CAN BE DONE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE PARKED IN A PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE FIRE ORIGINATED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

WHERE TO BEGIN...IN 2015 I PURCHASED THIS 2010 EQUINOX FROM A CHEVY DEALER AND 2 MONTHS LATER STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS W/ THE STABILITRAK. I HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS PAYING FOR THIS TO BE FIXED WITH NO SOLUTOINS TO THIS DAY!! IT OS NOW A DAILY OCCURRENCE AND COMES ON MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING EVERY TIME I AM BEHIND THE WHEEL NOW. IN ADDITION, NOW THE ENGINE IS COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING IT AND I MUST COAST TO THE SIDE IF THE ROAD!!!! WITH THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS YOUR COMPANY HAS RECEIVED REGARDING THIS PROBLEM OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, I AM GUESSING YOUR COMPANY IS WAITING FOR A LIFE TO BE TAKEN! I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME MULTIPLE TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY PASSING A CAR OR SEMI AND IT KICKS IN AND I HAVE TO PRAY THAT AS I SLOW DOWN WITH NO CONTROL I CAN MAKE IT TO THE RIGHT LANE AND THEN ON TO THE SHOULDER WITH OUT GETTING HIT OR WORSE!!! THERE ARE EVEN MORNINGS WHERE I GO OUT TO START MY CAR AND...EITHER IT DOESN'T START AT ALL W/ NO SOUND, IT STARTS WITH THE STABILITRAK ALREADY ON OR IT CLICKS ON AS SOON AS I PUT IT IN REVERSE. I AM KEEPING ALL MY RECEIPTS TOGETHER AND MY FAMILY KNOWS WHERE THEY ARE IN CASE ANYTHING SHOULD HAPPEN TO ME DUE TO THE LACK OF CHEVROLET ASSISTANCE FOR THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DEALING W/ THE SAME ISSUES!!!! YES I HAVE A WARRANTY BUT WAS TOLD THAT IS NOT COVERED AND I HAVE ALREADY HAD A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN, THROTTLE BODY REPLACED, WIRES REPLACED, ETC... AND STILL NO SOLUTION AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE FILE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SEIZED. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UNTIL THE RAIN STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BALLAS BUICK GMC (5715 CENTRAL AVE, TOLEDO, OH 43615, (567) 202-1198) WHERE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE REPAIRED, BUT THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF THE DIAGNOSIS.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

LOW OIL, MIXED WITH ANTIFREEZE. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. GOOD TO MY MECHANIC, ENDED REPLACING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, WATER PUM, SPARK PLUGS, BATTERY.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD GOING 55MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOOSE SPEED CONTROL TO ALMOST 20 MPH. I TRY TO PRESS THE GAS TO ACCELERATE AND IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE BEING PRESSED DOWN. HAVE TO PRESS GAS PEDAL ALMOST TO THE FLOOR TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. IMMEDIATELY TURNED ON EMERGENCY FLASHERS TO ALERT VEHICLES BEHIND ME. STABILITRK LIGHT AND TC LIGHT COMES ON. I HAVE READ PLENTY OF FORUMS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 CHEVERELET EQUINOX AND NOBODY SEEMS TO KNOW THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. HAVE HAD SEVERAL MECHANICS AND BREAK SPECIALIST LOOK AT THE PROBLEM AND THEY ARE CONFUSED TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. I HAVE A SMALL CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT. THANK GOD WE WEREN'T ON A 70 MPH HIGHWAY AND THAT HAPPENED. THERE COULD HAVE BEEN FATALITIES. I DONT HAVE ANY MECHANIC RECEIPTS BECAUSE THEY DONT KNOW WHAT TO START TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH. THEY SAID IT COULD BE NUMEROUS IDEAS( BRAKES, THROTTLE, ELECTRICAL, ETC). THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 79,000.

MY TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING HARD LAST WEEK & I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE TOLD MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME I CAN DRIVE IT UNTIL THAT HAPPENS BUT I MAY LOOSE POWER & THE VEHICLE MAY STALL OR COMPLETELY DIE WHILE I'M DRIVING. I WAS TOLD IF THAT HAPPENS TO RE-START THE VEHICLE AND I SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE OFF AGAIN. THIS IS SCARY TO SAY THE LEAST & I'VE FOUND SEVERAL HUNDRED OTHER CONSUMERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUES. MANY OF THEM HAVE HAD FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED BUT ARE EXPERIENCING RE-OCCURRING FAILURE DUE TO WHAT'S BELIEVED TO BE DEFECTIVE PARTS BEING USED BY CHEVY/GM. SEVERAL CONSUMERS DIDN'T HAVE ANY INDICATION THE TRANSMISSIONS WERE FAILING & IT DID HAPPEN WHILE THEY WERE DRIVING PUTTING THEM @ RISK & CREATING DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. I WAS QUOTED $4560 FOR THIS REPAIR BUT WITH NO GUARANTEE A NEW TRANSMISSION WILL NOT GO OUT THE SAME WAY THIS ONE IS. THE PROBLEMS I'VE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE HAVE ALL MADE ME AFRAID TO DRIVE IT B/C I DON'T FEEL SAFE BUT THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST WORRISOME. CAN YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS & HELP US? WE REALLY NEED TO KNOW IF THE "NEW TRANSMISSIONS" WILL BE A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. GM SEEMS TO BE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT REMARKS THE GOVERNMENT HAS TO ISSUE RECALLS. THANK YOU!

2010 CHEVY EQUINOX LTZ WINDSHIELD FAILURE! WEDNESDAY NIGHT, MAY 2, 2018, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE FOUR WINDS CASINO, SOUTH BEND, IN, IT WAS POURING DOWN RAIN...WHEN I GOT INTO MISHAWAKA, IN, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED AND LODGED TO THE LEFT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE! I GOT OUT OF THE CAR, PUSHED THE WIPERS BACK DOWN IN THERE PROPER PLACE AND I COULD HEAR THE MOTOR RUNNING! I GOT BACK INTO THE CAR AND TURNED ON THE WIPERS SEVERAL TIMES, THEY WOULD NOT BUDGE...I TOOK THE EQUINOX INTO BASNEY HONDA ON THURSDAY, MAY 3, 2018 AND THEY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THEY TOLD ME THE WINDSHIELD MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED! I BOUGHT THIS SUV IN MARCH FROM BASNEY HONDA! I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND PROBLEMS ALREADY? THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, PLUS, THE COST OF REPAIR! TOTAL COST= $453.43. ALSO, MY RESEARCH SHOWS MANY RECALLS ON THIS SAME ISSUE BY GM! MANY COMPLAINTS BY CONSUMERS! WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING, AND WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED? NO WONDER NO ONE WANTS TO BUY A CHEVY! WHEN I PURCHASED MY 2002 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA USED IN 2010, IT WAS YEARS BEFORE I HAD ANY REPAIRS! NEVER A WINDSHIELD ISSUE LIKE THIS...NEVER! I THOUGHT I HAD MADE A GOOD CHOICE BUYING THIS CHEVY EQUINOX SUV, LIKING IT A LOT, BUT, NOW, I AM LOOKING TO GET ANOTHER TOYOTA, HONDA, NISSAN OR MAZDA AND TRADE THIS ONE IN! I HAVE CALLED A CERTIFIED CHEVY DEALER TO HAVE AN INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSTIC DONE ON THURSDAY, MAY 10, 2018. AFTER THAT, I WILL CALL THE CHEVY RECALL NUMBE

AS I WAS APPROACHING TO A STOP LIGHT MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE AS IT WAS TRYING TO SHUT ITSELF DOWN. AS THE LIGHT TURNED AND AND I TRIED TO PUSH THE GAS PEDDLE, THE CAR WENT A LITTLE THEN STOPPED. I CRANKED THE KEY AGAIN, STARTED, THEN SHUT OFF. NOW THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE MY THE TRUCK WOULD START BACK UP AND DRIVE AGAIN. YOU CAN HEAR THIS WEIRD RATTLING NOISE AND WHILE DRIVING I WAS ALWAYS CAUTIOUS NOT KNOWING IF MY CAR WOULD JUST STOP RANDOMLY, OR IT IF WAS JUST A FLUKE. NO FLUKE. I SEE MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES AND GM NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE! I DRIVE WITH MY 3 AND 4 YEAR OLD DAILY, AS WELL AS TAKING MY CLIENT'S TO AND FROM APPOINTMENTS AND RUNNING ERRANDS. JUST FEEL SO VIOLATED THAT A CAR WAS SOLD TO ME KNOWING THE PRE HISTORIC CONDITIONS.

ON DECEMBER 22ND, 2017 AS MY HUSBAND AND I WERE TRAVELING TO OUR HOMETOWN FROM FORT BRAGG, NORTH CAROLINA, OUR VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY LOST ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. THIS WAS NOT ONLY VERY SCARY, BUT ALSO VERY DANGEROUS. IMAGINE OTHER VEHICLES WHIZZING BY AT 80MPH AT NIGHT AND YOUR CAR ONLY WANTS TO GO A FOURTH OF THAT. THE SCREEN READ, 'REDUCED ENGINE POWER'. WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT NO ONE RAN INTO THE BACK OF OUR VEHICLE, BEFORE WE COULD PULL OFF ON TO THE SHOULDER. THE CAR WAS TOWED THE REMAINDER OF THE DRIVE AND THEN TAKEN TO FLOW CHEVROLET MID JANUARY 2018. WHILE AT THIS DEALERSHIP, WE WERE GIVEN THE FOLLOWING DIAGNOSIS CODES, P0016 CRANKSHAFT POSITION NOT PLAUSIBLE, P0089 FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR PERFORMANCE, P228D FUEL PRESSURE REG 1 PERFORMANCE,EBCM V0100-71 LOST COMMUNICATION. THE MAN HELPING US RECOMMENDED THAT THE PISTONS AND RINGS/ TIMING CHAINS BE REPLACED FOR $5629.67 OR AN ENGINE SWAP FOR $9250.76. COME TO FIND OUT, THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX AND CAR FORUMS ALL OVER THE INTERNET HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE EXACT SAME ISSUES. HOW IS THERE NOT A RECALL FOR THIS? THIS IS HIGHLY UNSAFE!

WHEN I ACTIVATED THE SWITCH TO TURNED ON THE WIPER BLADES, I COULD HERE THE MOTOR, BUT THE BLADES WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. THE PROBLEM WAS THE WIPER TRANSMISSION WAS BROKEN. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING IN A SNOW STORM ON 4-15-2018. I TOOK THE CAR TO A CHEV. DEALER AND IT WAS REPAIRED FOR 371.44 INCLUDING TAX.

OWNER WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND WAS SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP LIGHT AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, THE ENGINE MADE A KNOCKING NOISE AND CONTINUED TO SHUT OFF AT EVERY STOP LIGHT AND STOP SIGN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHO INFORMED THE DRIVER THAT THERE WAS VERY LITTLE OIL IN THE ENGINE. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE OWNER THAT THERE WERE METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL THAT WAS LEFT. THE MECHANIC TOLD THE OWNER THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AT THE END OF JAN 2018 AND HAD AN OIL CHANGE AT RHAT TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME FROM THE MECHANIC AND HAS SAT SINCE.

WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING IN THE VERTICAL POSITION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REQUESTED THAT THE VEHICLE BE TOWED TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

OUR 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX WAS WORKING FINE. LAST WEEK WE CAME TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN... HEARD A BANG NOISE AND IT STARTED TO IDLE ROUGH, AND SHUT OFF AT STOP SIGN ( HARD TO EVEN KNOW...SINCE RADIO STILL PLAYING). ALSO SOUNDS LIKE A THRASHING MACHINE.... CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS SINCE GONE OFF AND BACK ON AND BACK OFF. WHAT IS THE BEST CORRECTION FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. CONTINUES TO SHUT OFF AT STOP SIGNS. ????

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I AM STOPPED OR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

VARIABLE VALVE TIMING CHAIN ISSUE AS WITH THE PREVIOUS YEARS MODELS THAT HAVE HAD PROBLEMS.2007 TO 2009 MODEL YEARS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS SAME ISSUE AND THE 2010 MODEL YEAR V6 IS HAVIG THE SAME PROBLEM. CODES P0016 AND P0017. CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT CORRELATION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES. SAME PROBLEM AS 2007 THRU 2009 THAT WERE COVERED. I CALLED GM BUT THEY SAID THE RECALL DID NOT COVER MY VIN SPECIFIC.

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. A TEXAS CERTIFIED REPAIR SHOP DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AND CONCLUDED THAT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE ENTIRELY REPLACED AT A COST OF $3,000.

MY CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND I HAD TO SIT THERE FOR A A LITTLE WHILE BEFORE IT STARTED BACK. THE CAR STARTED BACK. I DROVE THE CAR A LITTLE OVER A 1/.2 OF MILE AND IT STOPPED AGAIN. I STOPPED AND AND SAT AND CRANKED IT BACK UP. I MADE IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP TO BE TOLD MY TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. THE CAR ONLY HAS 116,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 2 AIR COMPRESSORS ON THE CAR. THE CAR HAS ALSO DID AN AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN ON ME. I HAVE HAD TO TOW THIS CAR 4 TIMES. I THINK THE 2010 EQUINOX IS A FAULTY CAR AND IS UNSAFE FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES TO BE RIDING AROUND IN. THE LAST ACCIDENT HAPPEN ON A BUSY INTERSECTION WITH ME AND MY HUSBAND WE COULD HAVE BEEN HURT WITH ALL THE MAJOR TRAFFIC COMING IN OUR DIRECTIONS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO HEAT UPON ENTERING THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, I CONSTANTLY GET A "SERVICE AIRBAG" MESSAGE ON MY DASHBOARD. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE DEALER AS WELL AS GM/CHEVORLET BY PHONE AND WAS TOLD THAT UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER IN WHICH I PURCHASED AND SINCE THEY DID NOT SEE THE MESSAGE THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I FEAR (GOD FORBID) BEING IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY. I DO TRAVEL WITH MY CHILDREN IN WHICH ONE OF THE 3 IS A TODDLER. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. - ALSO WHICH IS VERY ANNOYING MY KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. NOW I HAVE 2 SETS OF KEYS ONE GETS STUCK MORE THAN THE OTHER, BUT THERE ARE TIMES WHERE I HAVE TO SPEND HOURS TRYING TO REMOVE IT - I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT ONCE AGAIN WAS TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THIS. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS VIDEOS AND FORUMS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. NEEDLES TO SAY I WOULD NEVER PURCHASE A CHEVY AGAIN! TOO MANY ISSUES FOR A CAR THAT I'VE ONLY HAD A FEW YEARS.
