2010 Chevrolet Equinox complaints

2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PROBLEMS WITH HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP NEED TO BE REPLACED 3.5 YEARS APART. *JS

WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET HEADED TO THE HIGHWAY LOST GEARS WITH NO WARNING MY CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO ANY GEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MIKE SHAW BUICK GMC (1313 MOTOR CITY DRIVE, COLORADO SPRINGS, CO 80906) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

INTERMITTENT LOSS OF SYSTEM HEAT. BLOWER WORKS BUT BLOWS FRIGID AIR INTO CABIN AND ONTO WINDSHIELD CAUSING FROSTING AND SAFETY ISSUE. CONTROLS DO NOT WORK TO CORRECT ISSUE. ACTUATOR DOORS EITHER DON'T MOVE OR MOVE RANDOMLY. NO CHANGE IN BLOWER AIR. AIR TEMP FEELS LIKE BELOW ZERO. NO WARNING OF CHANGE FROM HOT TO COLD AIR. VEHICLE CAN BE STATIONARY, IN MOTION, HIGHWAY SPEEDS, SIDE STREET SPEEDS, TURNING, STRAIGHT, IT DOESN'T MATTER. IN GOING TO DESTINATION HEAT STOPPED AND COLD AIR BLEW. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS. DEALER SAYS NOT CODING OR STORING CODES. MAIN COMPUTER DOESN'T SENSE THE PROBLEM. ACTUATORS RECALIBRATED ON FRIDAY, IT REOCCURRED ON SATURDAY. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE CONTROL SYSTEM BRAIN BUT DEALER UNWILLING TO DO REPAIRS. 2010 AND 2011 WERE THE WORST YEARS FOR ISSUES IN THESE VEHICLES. MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUES. DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T FIX IT IF IT DOESN'T DISPLAY CODES ACCORDING TO MY ALMOST $4000 WARRANTY SERVICE CONTRACT. I LOVE MY EQUINOX BUT I NEED IT FIXED AND WORKING. BROUGHT IT INTO DEALER ON FRIDAY, INTAKE PERSON ACTUALLY FELT THE FRIGID AIR COMING FROM BLOWER. NO AMOUNT OF FLIPPING SWITCHES, TURNING KNOBS OR PUSHING BUTTONS CORRECT THIS ISSUE. STILL THEY DON'T FIX IT BECAUSE OF NO CODES. I SAY MAIN COMPUTER IS MALFUNCTIONING BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SENSE THE PROBLEM THEREFORE IT DOESN'T SHOW CODES. DEALER ADMITS THERE IS AN ISSUE, JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. ON A PERSONAL NOTE, I AM A CANCER SURVIVOR AND HAVE MANY MEDICAL ISSUE

RECENTLY ALL THE OIL WAS LOST THROUGH BLOWN SEAL DUE TO PRESSURE BUILD UP IN THE ENGINE. EXCESS MOISTURE WAS FOUND IN AIR BOX NEAR PCV HOSE.

WHILE DRIVING MY EQUINOX, THERE WAS A WHINING NOISE THAT STARTED. WHEN I TURN MY WHEEL, THE STEERING WHEEL IS MAKING A GRINDING NOISE. AND BECOMES VERY LOOSE. I CURRENTLY DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR

MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER WENT OUT WITH LESS THAN 100,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT MY CAR DOES NOT FIT IN THE "BUILD DATE WINDOW" ALTHOUGH THE BULLETIN COVERS THE YEAR AND ENGINE TYPE.

AFTER MANY TIMES OF THIS CAR BEING IN THE SHOP GETTING REPAIRED, THEY WEREN'T WILLING TO TAKE ANY OF THE RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX IT, DUE TO THE MILES OF THE CAR BEING BARELY OVER THEIR LIMIT. I FEEL THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING TO HELP ME OUT.

TIMING CHAIN, WATER PUMP, TENSIONER ALL WENT BAD, CAUSING FURTHER INTERNAL PROBLEMS. CAME TO A STOP AND WOULD NOT RE-START. CHEVROLET REQUIRED AN "AUTHORIZED" DIAGNOSIS. CHEVROLET HAD PREVIOUSLY EXTENDED WARRANTIES ON THIS MOTOR TO 120,000 MILES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I HAD 124,600, SO CHEVROLET REFUSED TO HELP. COST ME OVER $2400 AND THE CAR STILL WON'T RUN. PER INTERNET SEARCHES, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 4-CYL ECO TECH ENGINE. (I BELIEVE CANADA REQUIRED A RECALL ON THIS ENGINE!)

I PURCHASED THIS CAR AS USED. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT THERE WAS A TICKING SOUND THAT COULD BARELY BE HEARD. THE DEALER SAID THAT WAS COMMON. FOR VEHICLES SITTING IN THE LOT. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK ONCE IT GOT A LITTLE LOUDER AND THEY SAID MOST FUEL PUMPS MAKE THAT SOUND OVERTIME BUT THERE WAS NO ISSUE. AND THAT THE MANIFOLD WAS CAUSING THE LOUD NOISE AND GAS SMELL. AND NEEDED TO GET REPAIRED. THAT WAS DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD .NOW AN YEAR LATER. A WEEK AGO MY CAR STARTED MAKING THE SAME SOUND AGAIN AND BEEN GETTING LOUDER. MY CHECK ENGINE WAS BLINKING A D I NOTICED THE CAR WASN'T DRIVING AS SMOOTHLY AND WAS USING UP MORE GAS.AN ENGINE POWER REDUCED LIGHT CAME ON AND MY ENGINE JUST CUT OFF.I HAD TO GET IT TO TOWED TO A SHOP AND THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP PRESSURE. I SEE THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF ISSUES WITH FUEL PUMP ON THIS VEHICLE AND A TSB RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS IT IS CAUSING THE ENGINE TO CUT OFF. THIS HAPPENS TO ME ON A BUSY STREET. THANK GOD I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY I GET ON TO GO TO WORK

I WAS ON THE WAY TO THE STORE WITH MY TWO CHILDREN I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY AND THE CAR DIDNT WANT TO PULL. I LET OFF THE GAS AND PUSHED THE GAS AGAIN I STARTED THINKING MAKE IT JUST HAD SOME TRASH OR SOMETHING CAUSE THE CAR DID FINE. I GOT TO THE STORE AND PULLED IN THE PARKING LOT THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE AT ALL. I HAD IT TOWED MY THE CHEVY PLACE AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THE INNER TRANSMISSION SEEING THAT IT HAS HAD OTBER TRANSMISSION ISSUE MIGHT WANT TO TAKE A LOOK THAT THE WHOLE UNIT OF THE TRANSMISSION. THANKS

2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX 2.4L ENGINE IS BURNING OIL. I TOOK THIS TO THE DEAL AND WAS PUSHED AWAY SAYING I HAD OIL LEAK. THIS IS NOT TRUE.

STABILITRAK SERVICE LIGHT IS ON AND ABS LIGHT IS ON

I HAVE ISSUES WITH MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVING DISCONNECTED LEAVING MY WIPERS TO NOT BE USABLE. THIS HAPPENED DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN A DOWNPOUR - ALMOST GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. ALSO IT HAPPEN WITH MY HUSBAND AND 2 SMALL CHILDREN IN MY CAR AGAIN IN THE RAIN. I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY DUE TO THE WIPERS BECOMING INOPERATIVE AT THE TIME THEY ARE NEEDED MOST. I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE CHEVY EQUINOX (UNSURE OF THE YEAR OF THESE) THAT HAVE HAD THIS HAPPENED, PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH THEIR WIPERS STUCK UP ON THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE ALSO READ MANY FORUMS ONLINE ABOUT THIS. I SEEN A RECALL IN CANADA FOR THE EQUINOX 2010-2017 BUT THIS ISN'T COVERED IN THE US AS I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS.

MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON I TAKE CAR TO GM DEALER AND THEY TELL ME I NEED A CATALYTIC CONVERTER, THEY DIDN'T TELL ME THAT THERE WAS A SPECIAL SERVICE COVER FOR THE PART, WHEN I CALLED THEM BACK ABOUT IT THE TELL ME THAT ME CAR WAS OUT OF THE MILE PART OF THE COVERAGE AND THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF, I CALL GM AND SPOKE TO A LADY NAME ADREA AND SHE INFORMS ME THE SAME THING I TOLD HER I NEVER RECEIVED ANY THING IN THE MAIL CONCERNING IS COVERAGE, SHE SAID THE MAILED THEM OUT MARCH 2017, I ASKED IF SHE WAS ABLE TO TELL IF THERE WAS ONE SENT TO MY ADDRESS SHE COULD NOT. THIS PART IS SHOULD HAVE NEVER BE A SPECIAL SERVICE COVERAGE, BECAUSE IT IS A ENVIRONMENT ISSUES, THIS CAR IS 7 YEARS OLD. SO I HAVE BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH TRYING TO GET GM TO FIX THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEFROST FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. IN NOVEMBER OF 2016, THE DEFROST FAILED INTERMITTENLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (JOHN JONES SALEM, 1450 IN-60, SALEM, IN, 47167, 812-883-3081) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AT THE TIME. DUE TO THE REPAIR COST, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. IN JANUARY OF 2017, THE CONTACT RECEIVED THE NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V489000 (VISIBILTY). THE SAME LOCAL DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE DEALER, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE EXISTING FAILURE AND A LETTER WAS RECEIEVED, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT SURE WHY SHE RECEIVED THE RECALL LETTER, AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT ASSIST AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 110,000.

I HAVE A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX AND ON JULY 21ST, 2017 IT WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I'VE SEEN THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING. NO 3RD GEAR/NO REVERSE. IT SAYS IT HAS A WAVE PLATE THAT OFTEN BREAKS AND SHOOTS SHATTERED PIECES INTO THE TRANSMISSION, ALL WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR SUSPICION THAT ANYTHING COULD BE WRONG. I CALLED THE FINANCE COMPANY WHICH THEN L THEN LED ME TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TELLING ME THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR INFORMATION ABOUT ANYTHING. IT IS NOW OCTOBER 3RD, 2017 AND MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE SAME PARKING SPACE (CANNOT REVERSE TO GET OUT OF PARKING SPOT) WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS. I URGE ANYONE WHO EXPERIENCES ANY PROBLEM TO REPORT IT. I NEED HELP AND I NEED IT ASAP!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE DEFROSTER FAILED TO BLOW OUT AIR. THE CONTACT CALLED A LOCAL DEALER (GUS PAULOS CHEVROLET, 4050 W 3500 S WEST, VALLEY CITY, UT 84120) AND WAS INFORMED TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,758.

BEGINNING AROUND 30,000 MILES I BEGAN EXPERIENCING A CLUNKING SOUND AND JERKING WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS BECAUSE I WAS ALWAYS DRIVING IN ECO MODE. EVEN OUT OF ECO MODE I STILL EXPERIENCED THE CLUNK/JERK. ONCE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT I WAS UNABLE TO TAKE IT IN AND PAY THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO BE TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG. RECENTLY I NOTICED MORE SLIPPING ESPECIALLY WHEN ACCELERATING TO ENTER TRAFFIC ON BUSY INTERSTATE CAUSING HESITATION AND DANGER WHEN TRYING TO MERGE AT HIGH SPEEDS. AFTER GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY AND CRAWLING HOME, I PARKED THE VEHICLE WITHOUT INCIDENT. AFTER PARKING UPON TRYING TO SHIFT INTO GEAR IT REFUSED TO SHIFT AT ALL. TOWED TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WAS OUT, HAD TOWED TO GM DEALERSHIP. BATTLING GM NOW TRYING TO GET ASSISTANCE WITH REPLACEMENT SINCE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND IT WAS ACTING UP BEFORE WARRANTY EXPIRED. GM SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR NOT FIXING THIS COMMON PROBLEM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR WHILE BEING OPERATED, AND THE ABS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION, ABS SENSOR, AND MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 115,656.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE ENGINE STARTED TO HESITATE. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER IN A PARKING LOT TO CHECK THE OIL, AND NOTICED THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE RESERVOIR. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THREE QUARTS OF OIL WERE ADDED TO THE VEHICLE ONE MONTH BEFORE. THE CONTACT HAD EXPERIENCED THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE FOR APPROXIMATELY A YEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (DUTEAU CHEVROLET IN LINCOLN, NEBRASKA) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER HOWEVER, THE VIN DID NOT QUALIFY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,391.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD COVER ISSUE -THE CAR MADE A LOUD NOISE WHEN I START THE CAR. I TOOK IT TO AN AUTO REPAIR PLACE WHEN NOISE WAS UNBEARABLE AND FOUND THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD COVER WAS CRACKED AND THAT WAS CAUSING TOXIC AIR PUSHED BACK INTO THE CAR WHEN I TURN ON A/C OR HEAT WHICH IS HAZARDOUS TO THE OCCUPANTS HEALTH. SO I NEEDED TO GET IT FIXED ASAP. I GOOGLED TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY RECALL OR WARRANTY EXTENSION ON THIS PART SO I CAN TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE WAS NO RECALL OR WARRANTY EXTENSION ON THIS PART. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND CAME ACROSS COMPLAINS FROM OTHER CHEVY OWNERS REGARDING THIS ISSUE (COMPLAINS SEEN ONLINE). I CONTACTED CHEVY TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS WELL AS SEE IF THEY WOULD REIMBURSE THE MONEY I SPENT ON THIS REPAIR (OVER $600) AND THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN IT TO THEIR DEALERSHIP WHERE IN REALITY WOULD HAVE COST ME MORE THAN $1000 IF THERE IS NO RECALL OR WARRANTY EXTENSION ON THIS PART (THE CHEVY FOLKS ARE AWARE THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PART). I BELIEVE THIS IS A HEALTH HAZARD FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND DRIVE AROUND WITH A CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD COVER BECAUSE THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO MAKE THAT EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I CONTACTED ANOTHER AUTO REPAIR PLACE AND THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING ABOUT TOXIC GAS BEING PUMPED INTO THE CAR IF THAT COVER IS NOT FIXED.

AS WE WERE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET IN A TORRENTIAL RAIN STORM, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. I PULLED OVER TO A SIDE ROAD, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON, AND THEY STILL DID NOT WORK. I PUSHED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER LEVER AND THEY WOULD NOT MOVE. I WAS ON VACATION AT THE TIME AND LUCKILY FOUND A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP NEARBY. THEY DIAGNOSED THE CONDITION ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AS CORROSION TO THE FRONT WIPER TRANSMISSION. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID IT WAS EASY TO DIAGNOSE BECAUSE THEY HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE HAPPEN ON MANY CHEVROLET EQUINOX CARS. HE LOOKED UP RECALL INFORMATION AND THIS EXACT PROBLEM IS CURRENTLY RECALLED ONLY ON A 2013 CHEVROLET EQUINOX (CHEVROLET RECALL REFERENCE #25302). SINCE I HAVE A 2010 EQUINOX, I HAD TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR OUT OF POCKET FOR $240.80. THE DEALERSHIP SAID I WOULD HAVE A GOOD CASE TRYING TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THIS, SINCE IT IS AN EXACT PROBLEM HE HAS SEEN MANY TIMES AND IS CURRENTLY ON A RECALL FOR A DIFFERENT YEAR EQUINOX. I JUST CALLED CHEVROLET'S RECALL DEPARTMENT, AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, BECAUSE THEY CAN ONLY APPROVE REIMBURSEMENT FOR ACTIVE RECALLS, WHICH IS BASED ON THE VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER. IF AND WHEN A RECALL FOR A 2010 EQUINOX HAPPENS, THEN I WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT. I AM FILLING OUT THIS REPORT, BECAUSE YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT IS CURRENTLY RECALLED ON A 2013 CHEVY EQUINOX, AND DESERVES TO BE LOOKED INTO FOR THE 2010 EQUINOX AS WELL.

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR IF THE CAR DOES NOT REACH 35 MPH WITHIN THE FIRST TWO STOPS THE CAR MAKES. WHEN INITIALLY PUTTING THE CAR IN DRIVE, THE CAR ROCKS BACK AND FORTH WHILE SHIFTING INTO GEAR.

WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH THE WIPERS SUDDENLY JERKED LEFT AND STOPPED WORKING. ONE WIPER WAS OFF THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND THE OTHER WAS STOPPED IN FRONT OF MY FACE. VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE NOT ONLY WAS THERE RAIN POURING DOWN, THERE WAS A WIPER RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME BLOCKING MY VIEW. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND MOVE THE WIPERS TO THEIR NORMAL OFF POSITION BUT THEY NO LONGER FUNCTIONED. A NEW WIPER TRANSMISSION WAS REQUIRED. THE US RECALL FOR 2013 ONLY NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO MATCH THE RECALL IN CANADA. DEFINITELY A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!

LET ME START OFF BY SAYING THAT I AM ONE OF MANY HAVING THE SAME TROUBLE WITH MY 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX. ON JAN. 21, 2015 I WAS HIT BY A YOUNG DRIVER TOTALING MY 2002 S10 CREW CAB. I FEEL THIS TRUCK SAVED MY LIFE. IN NEED OF A SAFE VEHICLE I FOUND MYSELF AT BOWMAN CHEVROLET PURCHASING A CERTIFIED 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX WITH LESS THAN 41000 MILES. AT THAT TIME I RECEIVED 24 MONTHS OF OIL CHANGES/ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PLUS ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE AND BUMPER TO BUMPER FOR 12MONTHS. THIS VEHICLE SEEMED GREAT TILL MY FIRST OIL CHANGE AND MAINTENANCE. IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE SERVICED. I APPARENTLY BOUGHT A CANADIAN VEHICLE. CALLED BOWMAN ABOUT THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT BACK TO THEM ( OVER AN HR FROM HOME) AT THIS TIME I MENTIONED A FEW THINGS I FELT WERE ISSUES (MY CAR WOULD RUN ON AFTER SHUT OFF, WOULD ROLL BACKWARDS IN DRIVE AND SHIFTING WOULD PAUSE BETWEEN GEARS). ABOUT A MONTH LATER I GOT MY CAR BACK, NEW DASHBOARD WITH A FEW SCRATCHES AND A GOOD CHIP IN THE WINDSHIELD. WASN'T HAPPY BUT THEY SAID ALL WAS GOOD. UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I HAD TO TAKE IT IN, STILL HAVING RUN ONS WHEN I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND SHIFTING PROBLEMS ALONG WITH A FEW MINOR THINGS( I WAS TOLD WAS NOT COVERED BUT SHOULD HAVE BEEN STILL UNDER WHAT I WAS PROMISED BY THE 12 MONTHS BUMPER TO BUMPER) OVER THE NEXT 21 MONTHS OF MY WARRANTIES I CONTINUED TO HAVE MANY ISSUES WITH MY CAR. NEVER FULLY FIXED EACH TIME I TOOK IT IN AND BEING TOLD MANY TIMES THEY WONT DO THE RECALLS

CAR VIBRATES VIGOROUSLY AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 10-25 MPH. HARD TO CONTROL IN CITY DRIVING

"TAKATA RECALL" WHILE DRIVING AND APPROACHING A STOP SIGN ON A CITY STREET IN TOWN, THE CAR STARTED AGGRESSIVELY SHAKING AND SEVERAL LIGHTS TURNED ON - SERVICE STABILITRACK, ENGINE POWER REDUCED MODE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT- THANKFULLY WE WERE ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF THE ROAD AS THE CAR WOULD NOT EXCEED 25MPH. AFTER THE FIRST TIME WE TOOK IT IN AND THEY FLUSHED THE THROTTLE BODY. LESS THAN 2 MOTHS LATER THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN. TOOK IT BACK IN AND THEY COMPLETELY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. HERE WE ARE A FEW MONTHS LATER AND NOW THE CAR WILL NOT EVEN START WITH THE SAME ICONS APPEARING ON THE DASH! IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH AND IT KICK ME DOWN TO 25 MPH THAT IS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH PULLING INTO A SERVICE STATION, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT SHIFTED THE GEAR INTO PARK.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT OFFER FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000. UPDATED 11/07/17*LJ *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE OTHER TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR 1 EXCEEDED CONTROL LIMITS PRESSURE TOO HIGH. PROBLEM WITH MALFUNCTIONING FUEL PUMP SIMILAR TO 2.4L ECOTEC ENGINES FROM GM. MODELS FROM SAME YEAR AND ENGINE HOWEVER NOT ALL VINS COVERED. ENGINE MISFIRES, STALLS, SMOKING. OCCURS WHILE RUNNING WITH HIGHWAY DRIVING.

WE HAVE A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX WITH 66000 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED. WE WERE COMING HOME FROM A SHORT ROAD TRIP AND THE CAR STARTED TO ACT UP. WE COULDN'T GO OVER 25 MILES AN HOUR AS WE ONLY HAD 2ND GEAR. WE HAD NO REVERSE OR OTHER GEARS. WE PRAYED TO COULD LIMP IT HOME AND CALL THE TOW TRUCK TO COME AND GET IT. WE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WHICH COSTS US $4500 AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT REPAIRABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED HESITATION AND JERKING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LACK OF ENGINE POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER OR MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,143. *LN

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. GM HAS ISSUED SERVICE BULLETINS AND EXTENDED THE COVERAGE OUT TO 120,000 MILES, DEALER KEEPS REQUIRING OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS AND VALIDATED IT WAS OUTSIDE OF SPECIFICATIONS AND STILL NOT FIXING ISSUE CLAIMING "GM" IS THE ONE REQUIRING THE TESTING

MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON FOR NO OBVIOUS REASON...I HAVE NO IDEA WHETHER OR NOT IT IS A TAKATA. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL...APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM? THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO PAY FOR THIS.

BROUGHT MY SUV IN DELERSHIP FOR RECALLS FROM 12/5/2016. IT'S BEEN IN FOR MUTIPLABLE RECALLS PLUS OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL NOW RECEIVED MY CAR BACK HAD IT FOR 2 DAYS NOW SERVICE DEPARTMENT TELLING ME MY TRANSMISSION WAVE PLATE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD RETURNED MY CAR SAYING EVERYTHING WAS FINE TO DRIVE LET ME LEAVE IN IT KNOWING THEY KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN. VERY UPSET PLUS AM OUT AROUND $800 DOLLARS THOUGHT THESE RECALLS WERE COVERED NOPE HAD TO COME OUT OF MY POCKET. NOW THEY WANT $4374.69!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CAME OUT OF THE GROCERY STORE ABOUT 9PM ON 6-28-17, AND THE CAR WON'T START. HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO EVALUATED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN ON THE ECOTEC ENGINE HAS BASICALLY MISALIIGNED AND SHREDDED PARTS IN IT'S PATH, DESTROYING THE ENGINE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND SEE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPENING AND THIS VIDEO LINK: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=AEEUYUNUHGS I CHATTED ONLINE WITH CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO SAYS THAT THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING SINCE I HAD NOT BOUGHT THE CAR "CERTIFIED" AT A GM DEALERSHIP. THE ESTIMATE FOR THESE REPAIRS IS VALUED AT MORE THAN HALF OF WHAT THE CAR IS FINANCED FOR. I'M FEELING LIKE I HAVE A GIANT PIECE OF JUNK ON MY HANDS. LUCKILY IT DIDN'T SEIZE UP WHILE DRIVING. SO FAR MY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE INCLUES $93.00 FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND AN ADDITIONAL $44.00 TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER'S MECHANIC FOR THEM TO DO AN EVALUATION 7-5-17. PROBABLY LOOKING AT $5,000 TO $7,000 OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR AND GET BACK ON THE ROAD. CERTAINLY CAN'T AFFORD THAT. IT PRACTICALLY ADDS UP TO BE THE PRICE OF BUYING A NEW ONE.

BUSHINGS FOR WIPER ASSEMBLY WENT BAD. THEY WENT OUT WHEN DRIVING ON A RURAL ROAD. SEEMS LIKE A PART LIKE THAT WOULD LAST LONGER THAN 7 YEARS. NOW I'M FINDING THAT YOU CAN'T BUY THE BUSHINGS. ONLY BUY THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY.
