2014 Chevrolet Equinox complaints

I HAVE A 2014 EQUINOX. OUR WIPER TRANSMISSION FAILED WHEN WE WERE DRIVING IN TOWN AT DUSK IN THE RAIN 2 DAYS AGO. I SEE THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2013 MODEL YEAR, AND THERE IS A RECALL TO ADDRESS IT. I AM SKEPTICAL THAT SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES WERE MADE, AND HOPE YOU WILL INVESTIGATE MY CONCERN TO SEE IF IT'S A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. IT'S CLEARLY A SAFETY CONCERN, AND NOT AN INEXPENSIVE FIX. OF NOTE, ALTHOUGH I LIVE IN A COASTAL AREA SO THE SALT AIR CAN CAUSE PREMATURE CORROSION, I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE WITH A PREVIOUS VEHICLE.

MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING OUT OF TOWN. I COULD STILL HEAR THE WIPER MOTOR BUT THERE WAS NO MOVEMENT OF THE WIPERS THEMSELVES. LUCKILY, THIS OCCURRED AS I WAS PULLING INTO OUR HOTEL OTHERWISE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS HAPPENED ON A SATURDAY NIGHT 4/14/18. MY WIFE AND I WERE STRANDED IN TORONTO, ONTARIO FOR AN EXTRA DAY (WE LIVE IN MICHIGAN) SINCE A DEALERSHIP WASN'T OPEN. ON MONDAY (4/16/18) WE WENT TO EASTSIDE CHEVROLET IN MARKHAM, ONTARIO. THEY INDICATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS INTERNAL FAILURE OF WIPER TRANSMISSION. THEY REPLACED THE WIPER TRANSMISSION AND I HAD TO PAY $560.99 (CANADIAN), APPROXIMATELY $447 US DOLLARS. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE 2013 EQUINOX BUT NOT FOR 2014. HOWEVER, THE RECALL FOR CANADA GOES THRU 2017. THE RATIONALE FOR THE EXTENDED CANADIAN RECALL APPEARS TO BE DUE TO THE CLIMATE YET THE CLIMATE IN MICHIGAN IS VERY SIMILAR TO ONTARIO, CANADA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE TURNED OFF IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO DECELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,974.

CAR SHUT OFF 3 TIMES WHILE IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT. IT APPEARS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BASED ON A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH SO IT SEEMS ABSURD THERE WOULDN'T BE AN OPEN RECALL TO FIX IT

GREETINGS, WE PURCHASED A USED CHEVY EQ. A FEW MONTHS AGO AT 59000 MILES FOR MY WIFE, CURRENTLY 60000. SINCE I BOUGHT IT THE ENGINE HAS RATTLING/CLICKING NOISE. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WITH A REBUILT TITLE FROM AN INDIVIDUAL AND THE NOISE WASN'T THAT BAD. I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE OF OLD OIL AND HADN'T SUSPECTED SUCH AN ENGINE PROBLEM. I AM A MECHANICAL ENGINEER MYSELF AND COULDN'T THINK THAT AN ENGINE WOULD HAVE A DEFECT WHICH AFFECTS ALL OF THESE CHEVY VEHICLES SO I PURCHASED IT. TODAY I CONTACTED CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY RECEIVE TOO MANY SAME COMPLAINTS. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO RECALL RELATED TO 2014 YEAR MODELS AND SINCE IT WENT TO SALVAGE CONDITION THAT IT IS NOW OUT WARRANTY.MY CAR HAD A FRONT BUMPER ACCIDENT, AND NO RADIATOR OR ENGINE ISSUE AFTER THE ACCIDENT. SO IT IS DEFINITELY RELATED TO A DEFECTED ENGINE. ALTHOUGH THE POWERTRAIN IS PROTECTED UP TO 100K MILES, DUE TO THE TITLE STATUS THE OWNER HAS TO PAY FOR ALL THE EXPENSES. I WAS TOLD THAT, IF IT HAD A RECALL, REGARDLESS OF TITLE STATUS THEY WOULD REPAIR IT. THEY USED A VERY BAD DEFECTED ENGINE IN THEIR VEHICLES AND DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL. THERE ARE TOO MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS POSTED ON WEBSITES BY UPSET OWNERS, BUT THEY STILL DO NOT ISSUE A RECALL IN ORDER NOT TO COVER THIS PROBLEM. I AM VERY REGRET THAT I PURCHASED A GM VEHICLE. I WILL NEVER AGAIN. CAN NHTSA DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, BECAUSE THESE ENGINES ARE REALLY DANGEROUS ON THE ROADS. PEOPLE POSTED THE SAME PROBLEM ABOUT

THIS MORNING AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO LEAVE A PARKING LOT AND PUT MY VEHICLE FROM PARK TO DRIVE THE ENGINE STALLED. MY VEHICLE MOTOR JUST STOPPED. IT DID THIS MULTIPLE TIMES AS I ATTEMPTED TO PUT MY VEHICLE INTO DRIVE. WHEN I ARRIVED AT WORK I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART MY VEHICLE AND IT DID THIS AGAIN WHEN I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT AT MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT. I WAS UNABLE TO PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE WITHOUT IT STALLING. AFTER SOME RESEARCH IT APPEARS THAT CHEVY IS AWARE OF AN ISSUE WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION IN MAKES 2010-2017.

WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN A TERRIBLE RAIN STORM AND THE WIPERS JUST QUIT WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. THIS HAPPENED LESS THAN A BLOCK FROM PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY FROM THE WORK PARKING LOT. VERY SCARY INCIDENT. HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE MOTOR FOR THE WINDSHIELD. IT APPEARS THAT THE 2013 MODELS HAD A RECALL; WHEREAS, THE 2014 MODELS HAVE NOT HAD A RECALL. THE 2014 MODELS USE THE SAME PARTS AS THE 2013 MODELS. NOT SURE WHY THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE 2014 MODEL. COST TO REPLACE WAS ~$400+.

INTERMITTENT VIBRATION FELT WHEN ENGINE IDLING. THEN ENGINE WOULD STALL WHEN COMING TO A STOP. HAPPENED MAYBE 6-8 TIMES. GOT AN OIL CHANGE (WASN'T OVERDUE), AND PROBLEM STOPPED.

THIS IS THE 4TH INCIDENT. WHILE DRIVING A WARNING "SERVICE POWER STEERING" AND "SERVICE STABILITY TRACK". ENGINE REDUCED POWER TO BELOW 25MPH WHILE ON AN INTERSTATE. AFTER PULLING OVER AND TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT RESTART. HAD IT TOWED HOME. IT RESTARTED A FEW HOURS LATER WITH NO CODES EVEN THOUGH I DID NOTHING TO FIX IT.

REAR MAIN SEAL FAILED RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER OF VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC COLD WINTER DAY CITY STREET APPROXIMATELY OGDEN AND RAMEN CITY OF CHICAGO GOING INTO THE DOWNTOWN AREA

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. ALSO, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INDICATORS WERE FLASHING AND THE CHECK ENGINE, SEAT BELT, AND TIRE SYSTEM INDICATORS WERE ILLUMINATED. FURTHERMORE, THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL CLICKING NOISE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SCRANTON CHEVROLET OF NORWICH (774 W THAMES ST, NORWICH, CT 06360) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL WIRE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 63,000.

ON JAN 13 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR BEFORE THIS AND I WENT TO SCHOOL WHEN STARTING THE CAR AT 5PM WITH NO PROBLEMS. I WAS DRIVING HOME AND IT SMELLED REALLY BAD SO I STOPPED THE CAR AND OIL WAS LEAKING OUT EVERYWHERE. I HAD AUTO ZONE PULL THE CODES AND WHEN I TRIED TO START IT IT WOULDN'T START. THE CODES P0014, P2280, P0089, P0366, P0017, P0011 ALL CAME ON. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAD TO FIX THE CRANKSHAFT REAR OIL SEAL, PLUGGED PCV THAT CAUSE EXCESS PRESSURE, RXR INTAKE, CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR SOLENOID VALVE, EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS REPLACED BUT SAID THE FUEL PUMP DIDN'T GO BAD FROM ALL THESE ISSUES AND TOLD ME I NEED TO REPLACE IT. I NEVER HAD A PROBLE WITH ANYTHING TELL THIS DAY AND WANT TO KNOW WHY THAT WASN'T REPLACED SINCE IT WAS CONNECTED TO THE ENGINE. NOW MY CAR WOULDN'T START WHEN I TURN IT OVER CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT COMES ON, ELECTRIC STABILITY CONTROL COMES ON CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. CAR SLOWS FROM 70MPH TO 20MPH. STARTS SMELLING VERY HOT.

THE THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHTS WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST ENGINE POWER AND WAS "REDUCED POWER." THIS WAS WHILE DRIVING SLOWLY GETTING UP TO SPEED. HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER WHEN GOING ABOUT 40 MPH AND I COULD NOT GO ANY FASTER, I HAD TO PULL OVER AND STOP DRIVING. PARKED THE CAR FOR 3 HOURS THEN IT WAS FINE. STILL NOT CLEAR AS TO WHAT CAUSED THIS. ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON.

THIS CAR CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING!

THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IN THE CAR HAD TO BE REPLACED; THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN TAKEN TO THE SHOP, THEY DISCOVERED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS WORN OUT (ERODED?) AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER FLUSHING FLUIDS BY DEALER, CAR NOW STALLS AT WHEN IDELING

I PURCHASED A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX IN SEPTEMBER 2015. IT HAD 10 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT RIGHT OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 1700 MILES ON IT BECAUSE IT'S PARKED IN THE GARAGE 90% OF THE TIME. IN NOVEMBER 2017 I OPENED THE VENT PART OF THE SUN ROOF AND HEARD A LOUD CRACK SOUND. WHEN I TRIED TO CLOSE IT, IT WOULDN'T CLOSE. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IT BROKE BECAUSE THERE WAS DIRT IN IT. IT COST ME $1,000 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE MECHANISM INCLUDING THE WINDOW BECAUSE THEY DON'T MAKE PARTS FOR IT. MY QUESTION TO THE DEALER AND CHEVY WAS 'HOW DOES DIRT GET INTO A SUNROOF THAT IS CLOSED ALL THE TIME? THE RESPONSE HAS BEEN I DON'T KNOW. NO ONE CAN EVEN TELL ME HOW TO MAINTAIN IT SO THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS EITHER A DEFECT WITH THE SUN ROOF OR IMPROPER INSTALLATION AT THE FACTORY. THE NEW SUN ROOF IS MADE TO BE MORE HEAVY DUTY BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT IN TWO YEARS I'LL HAVE TO REPLACE THIS ALSO. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON ASKED IF I DRIVE IT IN AREAS THAT THERE IS A LOT OF DUST. THE ANSWER WAS NO, BUT SHOULDN'T IT BE MADE TO KEEP DUST OUT? AFTER ALL, IT IS ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE CAR.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY IN THE POURING RAIN. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AND PUT ME IN A VERY BAD SITUATION. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND INTO A PARKING LOT. I BEGAN CHECKING THE FUSES TO SEE IF IT WAS THAT. AFTER CONFIRMING THEY WERE FINE, I BEGAN LOOKING UP THE ISSUE ONLINE. I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2013 MODEL FOR THE WIPER TRANSMISSION. I ALSO FOUND THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2014 MODEL. SURE ENOUGH, WHEN I GOT THE CAR TO THE SHOP, THEY CONFIRMED THE ISSUE. $240 DOLLARS TO FIX THE ISSUE THAT SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD. I FEEL THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS HURT.

ON10/09/2017 AS I WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE 3 HEADING TO CAPE GIRARDEAU MISSOURI ON A VERY RAINING DAY WELL MY WIPERS IN THE FRONT BROKE AND I WAS UNABLE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE SO I HAD TO HURRY UP AND AND PULL OFF THE ROAD. SO I HAD TO REPLACE WIPERS BUSHING. THAT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS EXPERIENCE FOR ME AND THE DEALERSHIP STATED THE RECALL ON THEM STOPPED ON THE 2013'S

I'M HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY TORQUE CONVERTOR

TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR SHOWS LOW PRESSURE IN TIRES , BUT WHEN CHECKED WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT HAND GAGES AND ADD AIR TO DESIRED PRESSURE LISTED ON DOOR RECOMMENDATION STICKER SENSOR STILL SHOWS THE TIRE PRESSURE IS LISTING LOW BY SEVERAL LBS. IN MOTION ON ROAD - HIGHWAY - CITY ST. / STANDING STILL / RUNNING OR JUST WITH KEY ON MOTOR OFF. (ALWAYS SHOWING LOW AIR PRESSURE IN TIRES -

MY VEHILCLE JUST SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND IT DOES IT ON A CONSTANT BASIS LIKE WHEN IM BACKING UP OR LOW ACCELERATION. I GOT A DIAGNOSTICS DONE AND I GOT ERROR CODE P0011 AND P0010 WHICH IS INTAKE CAMSHAFT POSITIONING TIMING IS OVER ADVANCED. IVE ONLY OWNED THIS CAR SINCE MARCH 2017 AND IT IS OCT. 2017 AND IVE HAD THE ISSUE FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS. I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ISSIE OCCURED BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE.

BALL JOINTS ON THE WIPER MECHANISM CORRODED AND BROKE, MAKING THE WIPERS INOPERABLE DURING A MONSOON ON THE INTERSTATE TRAVELING AT 70 MILES AN HOUR WHICH WAS VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT. BUT THE GM CORPORATION WILL NOT RECALL IT BUT THEY RECALLED 3680000 EQUINOXES WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM FROM THE YEAR BEFORE. BUT NOT MINE THANKS GM FOR NOTHING!! I WONDER IF FORD OR DODGE WILL BACK UP THIER PRODUCT ???

THE ENGINE DIED WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT. THIS HAPPENED AFTER DRIVING A FEW MINUTES. WITHIN A WEEK, IT STARTED HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN, THE ENGINE WOULD JUST DIE WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR JUST STARTING AFTER BEING STOPPED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER A FEW DAYS. ALSO, A COUPLE TIMES LAST WINTER ON COLD DAYS THE ENGINE RAN REALLY ROUGH FOR THE FIRST FEW SECONDS AFTER STARTING. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE CAM SHAFT ACTUATOR SOLENOID VALVE. I GOOGLED AND FOUND THE 2011 EQUINOX WAS RECALLED (11195A) FOR WHAT SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES AND HAD REGULAR OIL CHANGES.

PURCHASED OUR 2014 CHEVY EQUINOX IN OCTOBER 2013. IN NOVEMBER 2016 WHILE MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING DURING A RAIN STORM THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. SHE HAD TO QUICKLY PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SINCE SHE HAD NO VISIBILITY AT THE TIME. SHE SAT IN THE CAR IN A DANGEROUS SPOT UNTIL I COULD GET THERE AND DRIVE HER HOME. WE LEFT THE CAR UNTIL IT STOPPED RAINING AND THEN WENT BACK TO GET THE CAR. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE CHEVY EQUINOX 2013 MODEL. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY SAID THE WIPER TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED DUE TO CORROSION. THEY REPLACED THE PART FOR ME AT A COST OF $473 DOLLARS.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING ON 3 YEAR OLD CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF A TERRIBLE DOWN POUR DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHILE IN MOTION. ABILITY TO SEE WAS IMMEDIATELY IMPOSSIBLE AND AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE MOVE TO THE SHOULDER OF 3 WAY TRAFFIC TOOK PLACE. A NEW WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION KIT WAS REQUIRED. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH INDICATES THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE 2014 EQUINOX.

WIPERS FAILED AS IN THE 2013 EQUINOX'S RECALL. I WAS TRAVELING IN TRAFFIC ON US 85 SOUTH IN HEAVY RAINFALL. ONLY BY SLOWING DOWN AND CAREFULLY MOVING TO THE RIGHT HAND LANE WHERE I COULD SEE THE WHITE LINE, WAS I ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL AND NOT BE IN AN ACCIDENT. HAD I NOT BEEN AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A MULTI CAR INCIDENT.

THE WIPERS FAILED, STOPPED WIPING IN THE MIDDLE OF A HEAVY RAIN STORM WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY. THANKFULLY ABLE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE, VERY SCARY! CALLED DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY WARRANTY EXPIRED IN JANUARY OF 2017. IN RESEARCHING THE REPAIR I DISCOVERED THAT EQUINOX 2013 AND I THINK OTHER YEARS HAD A RECALL FOR THE EXACT FAILURE ON MY VEHICLE. THE REPAIR MECHANIC CALL GM VERIFIED THE RECALL ON 2013'S, THE FAILURE ON MY VEHICLE 2014 AND GM UNWILLINGNESS TO PAY FOR THIS VEHICLE REPAIR. THE UNBELIEVABLE IRONY OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT WHEN THE REPAIR PART ARRIVED IT CLEARLY STATED "RECALL" ON THE LABEL. IT WAS LIKE GIVING ME THE MIDDLE FINGER ALONG WITH THE BILL. GM SHOULD ADD 2014 AND ANY OTHER VEHICLES USING THIS COMPONENT TO THEIR WIPER RECALL DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED.

WHEN GOING IN REVERSE, OR COMING OFF A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY STALL OUT. WHILE IT STARTS UP RIGHT AWAY, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. MY VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS ABOUT 4-6 TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR. CHEVY SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, AND THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE. ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WORK, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE JUST TURNS OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WITHOUT WARNING, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIPER TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE OEM PART WAS THE SAME AS THE OEM PART CONCERNING A MANUFACTURER RECALL FOR WHICH THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED BY THE DEALER (OURISMAN CHEVROLET OF MARLOW HEIGHTS, 4400 BRANCH AVE, MARLOW HEIGHTS, MD 20748, (240) 455-3386) OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

THIS ISSUE, THE EQUINOX WOBBLE HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES FOR US. THIS TIME WE WERE ENTERING THE INTERSTATE GOING ABOUT 50 MPH AND THE WOBBLE AGAIN BEGAN AND AS I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN, PULL OVER AND STOP. I NOTICED IN THE BACK VIEW CAMERA THAT SOMETHING WAS VERY WRONG. THE EQUINOX WAS OFF TO THE RIGHT SIDE AND AS I ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN THE LEFT (DRIVERS) FRONT SIDE OF OF THE EQUINOX HIT THE RIGHT (PASSENGER) SIDE OF THE MH CAUSING CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES ON EITHER SIDE OF ME OR THE EQUINOX WOULD HAVE COLLIDED WITH THEM. AFTER PULLING OFF THE HIGHWAY AND MAKING A COMPLETE STOP, I LOOKED TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS WOBBLE HAD BROKEN THE 7000 LB HITCH RECEIVER COMPLETELY FROM ITS MOUNTING ON THE MH AND DAMAGED BOTH THE TOW BAR AND THE SAFETY CABLES. THE SAFETY CABLES HAD KEPT THIS INCIDENT FROM BEING MUCH MORE SERIOUS THAN IT WAS AND POSSIBLY CAUSING CONSIDERABLY MORE DAMAGE AND PERSONAL INJURY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. TWO MONTHS AFTER THE CONTACT HAD THE OIL CHECKED, THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT CALLED ON-STAR WHO INFORMED HER THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC ON THE VEHICLE WAS WELL AND THE OIL LIFE WAS THIRTY ONE PERCENT. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN ON A LONG TRIP. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED AN ABNORMAL KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER (BARRY'S AUTOMOTIVE INC LOCATED ON M 62 W, DOWAGIAC, MI, 49047) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO OPEN RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 110,000.

VEHICLE ENGINE ACCELERATED TO 130 MPH ON SPEEDOMETER WITH ENGINE REVING TO THAT SPEED SOUND . VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY . I PULLED OFF ROAD ON EACH OCCASION TURNED OF ENGINE AND RESTARTED AS I WAS HUNDREDS OF MILES FROM HOME. HAD CAR TOWED TO CHEVY DEALERSHIP AT DESTINATION. AS THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE ISSUE THEY WILL NOT REPAIR EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A EXTENDED WARRANTY. MY VEHICLE NOW REMAINS IN 5 HRS AWAY. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT NOT KNOWING WHAT IS WRONG. THIS PUTS MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS AT RISK ON THE HIGHWAY.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE IT WAS POURING. WHEN THE DRIVERS SIDE WIPER STOPPED IT WAS COMPLETELY OFF THE WINDSHIELD AND THE PASSENGER WIPER WAS IN FRONT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS CAUSED VERY POOR VISIBILITY AND WAS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAD TO GO ACROSS MULTIPLE LANES TO PULL OVER.

ENGINE STALLED OUT WHILE IDLING IN GEAR, ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR WHEN DEACCELERATING TO A COMPLETE STOP. NEEDED ONE FOOT ON BRAKE ONE FOOT ON GAS TO KEEP RUNNING. LOST ALL POWER ASSIST CONTROLS IN TRAFFIC WHEN VEHICLE STALLED.

WIND SHEILD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING IN MIDDLE OF A RAIN STORM ON FREEWAY ON APRIL 7 2017.. WHILE DRIVING 65MPH. TOOK TO DEALER AND IT THE EXACT SAME PART AS A 2013 MODEL RECALL ON THE SAME CAR. TRASMISSION OF WIPERS STOPPED WORKING .CONNECT THE DOTS SAME PROBLEM IN 2013 AND WERE RECALLED. RECALL THE 2014 NOW I WAS ALMOST IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS WIPER FAILURE. I HAD TO PAY $350.00 TO GET FIXED GM TOOK NO RESPONIBLITY.

THE FUEL SYSTEM DOESN'T ACCURATELY REFLECT THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THIS VEHICLE. IT SAYS IS HAS A FULL TANK WHEN IT IS ALMOST EMPTY. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE OWNERS DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING LOW ON GAS. RUNNING OUT GAS ON HIGHWAYS OR IN THE MOUNTAINS CAN BE A DEADLY RESULT.

I TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF TO GET GAS AND WHEN I STARTED MY VEHICLE BACK UP, THE HEATING, AIR CONDITIONING, DEFROST, RADIO CONTROLS AND THE CENTER INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS HAD ALL BECOME INOPERATIVE. EVERYTHING STAYED INOPERATIVE FOR 2 DAYS. ON THE THIRD DAY, I WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE AND STARTED MY VEHICLE UP BUT THEN REALIZED I FORGOT SOMETHING AND TURNED MY CAR OFF. I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE TO RESTART IT BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE CENTER INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS AND RADIO CONTROLS SUDDENLY RETURNED WORKING BUT EVERYTHING ELSE THAT HAD BEEN INOPERATIVE (THE DEFROST, A/C AND HEATING), STAYED INOPERATIVE AND MY VEHICLE NOW SHOWED THE MESSAGE "SERVICE POWER STEERING" UNDER THE GAS GAUGE. I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE A DAY LATER BUT NOTHING HAD CHANGED AND IT WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN ANYTHING HAD BECOME INOPERATIVE ON THE VEHICLE.

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS AS HAVE A FEW MORE WITH OUR 2014 CHEV EQUINOX LT 4 CYCLINDER MOTOR WHEN WE DRIVE ON UNEVEN, FROST HEAVES, POT HOLES ROADS, ANY ROADS. THE VEHICLE WHEN FLAT TOWED BEHIND A MOTORHOME WILL START THE "DEATH WOBBLE" I VIOLENTLY SHAKES THE MOTORHOME UNTIL WE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THEN WE CAN START OUT AGAIN. IT WILL DO THIS AT ANY SPEED. WE ARE FOLLOWING THE OWNERS MANUAL AND PROPER HITCH ADJUSTMENTS, THE 4 CYCLINDER EQUINOX HAS ELECTRONIC STEERING AS OPPOSED TO THE 6 CYCLINDER EQUINOX, THAT DOES NOT EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM, HAS HYDRAULIC STEERING. JEEP HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE CHEROKEE BUT THE DEVELOPED A WIRING FIX THAT POWERS THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WIEN UNDER TOW, GM HAS YET TO ADMIT TO THE PROBLEM. THE VIDEO I AM SENDING IS OF A JEEP CHEROKEE, BUT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT OUR 4 CYCLINDER 2014 EQUINOX DOES, AS DO MANY MORE OWNERS SAY THEIR 4 CYCLINDER EQUINOX'S DOES. I HAD TO INCLUDE A DATE WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED, IT HAS HAPPENED MANY MORE TIMES THAN THE ONE I HAD TO PUT DOWN, THIS WAS JUST THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED. I HAVE TRIED TO SEND A VIDEO, CANNOT GET IT DONE, BUT IF YOU GO TO YOUTUBE AND TYPE IN SEACH, DEATH WOBBLE IN JEEP CHEROKEE TOWED BEHIND MOTORHOME AND LOOK AT 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHILE BEING TOWED YOU WILL SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR 4 CYCLINDER 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED 10-60MPH AND IT DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE AT WHAT MILEAGE IT IS. WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WITH 21184 MILES ON IT, I
