2014 Chevrolet Equinox complaints

DURING HEAVY RAIN, WINDSHIELD WIPERS FLEW PAST STRAIGHT UP, AND STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT WARNING. THIS CAUSED A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE WE WERE DRIVING ON AN EXPRESSWAY AFTER DARK AND COULD NOT SEE ENOUGH TO CONTINUE MOVING. WE HAD TO INCH ALONG THE SHOULDER FOR A MILE TO THE NEAREST EXIT.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TWICE IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS, MOST RECENT REPAIR WAS JUNE 20, 2020, BOTH DURING A RAIN EVENT. REPLACED PLASTIC BALL JOINTS TWICE, FAILED TODAY JULY 8, 2020. SECOND COMPLAINT, EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, 3 QUARTS LOW AND NEVER SET A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES, VEHICLE HAS 98K MILES

ON 12/30/19 THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED OVER NIGHT. LINKAGE WAS REPAIRED. GM REFUNDED THE COST. ON 7/1/20, THE WIPERS STOPPED AGAIN DURING A SUDDEN DOWNPOUR WHILE TRAVELING ON A RURAL HIGHWAY. *TR

THE FIRST YEAR I OWNED THIS VEHICLE, THE OIL CONSUMPTION WAS NORMAL. AFTER THE FIRST YEAR, IT WENT THROUGH OIL LIKE CRAZY. I GET OIL CHANGES EVERY 3,000 MILES, AND IT WAS NEAR DRY WHEN I WOULD BRING IT BACK IN. MY MECHANIC BEGAN TELLING ME TO STOP IN AFTER ABOUT 1000-1500 MILES TO GET IT TOPPED OFF. WHICH WAS DONE, BUT THEN I BEGAN HAVING CHUGGING HAPPEN. I WAS TOLD THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE OF THE ENGINE'S OIL CONSUMPTION AND WOULD CONTINUE TO GET WORSE. IT DEFINITELY GOT WORSE UNTIL THE MOTOR DIED. NOW I HAVE TO REBUILD A MOTOR OR SCRAP THE CAR. THE ENGINE RECALL SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED MY CAR.

DURING HEAVY RAIN WITH POOR VISIBILITY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED AT TOP OF STROKE AND DID NOT MOVE ANY FURTHER. I HAD TO STOP AT A BUSY INTERSECTION NO LONGER ABLE TO SAFETY PERFORM A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO A DIVIDED HIGHWAY ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC, I HAD TO PUT ON HAZARD LIGHTS AND TURN RIGHT FROM A LEFT HAND ONLY TURN LANE DUE TO BEING UNABLE TO SEE OUT OF FRONT WINDSHIELD BUT ONLY ABLE TO SEE TRAFFIC FROM DOOR WINDOW. WIPER MOTOR MADE NOISES BUT BLADES DID NOT MOVE. WAS FORCED TO WAIT APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES UNTIL RAIN STOPPED TO PROCEED TO MECHANICS SHOP. THIS OCCURRED AT THE INTERSECTION OF TOPSIDE DRIVE AND ALCOA HIGHWAY IN KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE. I HAD MY WIFE, 19 YEAR OLD SON, 12 YEAR OLD NIECE, AND 7 YEAR OLD NEPHEW IN THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OF THE WIPER SYSTEM OCCURRED SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING WITH NO PRIOR ISSUES WITH WIPER SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE IS A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX WITH 104,000 MILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CEASED OPERATING WHILE DRIVING IN A RAINSTORM. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO WAIT OUT THE STORM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,580.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGE BUSHINGS WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED 3 MORE TIMES AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTORS WERE REPLACED EACH TIME. BOB HOOK CHEVROLET SERVICE (4144 BARDSTOWN RD, LOUISVILLE, KY 40218, (502) 499-0800) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V582000 (VISIBILITY) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000.

BOUGHT THE CAR IN DEC 2018. JUST GOT THE OIL CHANGED AND MECHANIC SAID THE SEALS WERE LEAKING REALLY BAD. OIL WAS ALL UNDERNEATH MY CAR. ALSO MY DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LIGHT KEPT GOING OUT AND MELTING THE WIRING. THEN MY POWER SEATS STOPPED WORKING. BOTTOM LINE IS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WITH MY GRANDKIDS AND MY AIR WENT OUT BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND ALL OTHER LIGHTS ABS, ETC. I COULD HARDLY STEER THE CAR OFF THE ROAD.

STABILITRAK LIGHT, POWER STEERING LIGHT COME ON AND ALL THE GAUGES START TO GO UP AND DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. *TR

MY VEHICLE IS LEAKING OIL, ALL OVER THE TOP OF THE ENGINE AND LARGE OIL SPOTS BELOW.. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR FOR FEAR WE WILL BLOW THE REAR MAIN OIL SEAL. THE ISSUE IS THOUGHT TO BE THE PCV VALVE. I LOOKED UP MY COMPLAINT THAT I WAS HAVING ON THE INTERNET AND CAME ACROSS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM NUMEROUS (A HECK OF A LOT) OF PEOPLE AND FOUND GM BULLETIN NUMBER 14882 THAT SPECIFIES THE SAME COMPLAINT THAT I HAD. I BROUGHT THIS UP TO THE MANUFACTURING COMPANY AND THEY EXPLAIN TO ME THAT THIS BULLETIN IS VIN SPECIFIC AND IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NOT WHEN IT'S THE SAME ENGINE, YEAR.. ETC. ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE (WHO I HAVE READ COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT IT) WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE ARE BEING TOLD THE SAME THING....VIN NOT COVERED. IF ALL THESE VEHICLES ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WHY ARE THEY SAYING NOT COVERED? I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO DO WHAT THE OTHERS DID AND FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB. I CAN NOT UPLOAD A PHOTO, MY VEHICLE STILL SITS AT THE GM REPAIR SHOP. *TR

MY CAR RUNS ROUGH AND SHUTS OFF WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING AT STOP SIGNS AND RED LIGHTS. MY CAR HAS 112,000 MILES AND WARRANTY RAN OUT AT 100,000. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE IS P0010. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY BIG PROBLEM FOR THE EQUINOX AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS. THE OLDER MODELS HAVE RECALLS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT CHEVERLET SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO OPERATE. THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY A FAULTY WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR COVER. THE FAILED WIPERS CAUSED A VISIBILITY HAZARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH DURING A POURING RAIN STORM, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DID NOT TURN ON AFTER THE ACTIVATING SWITCH WAS ON. AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE AND TURNING THE ENGINE OF AND ON THE WIPERS AGAIN FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR COVER WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN, WIPERS ON HIGH, STOPPED FUNCTIONING. WAS DRIVING 40MPH ON A HIGHWAY.. RT 19, PITTSBURGH, PA. UNABLE TO SEE. STOPPED VEHICLE, AS SAFELY AS POSSIBLE WITH NO VISIBILITY. WAS ABLE TO MANUALLY MOVE WIPERS. UNABLE TO USE WIPERS AT THIS TIME. UNABLE TO FIND A RECALL. DO SEE MULTI COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

IN MY 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX, NOONTIME, SUNDAY, SITTING AT RED LIGHT POINTED WEST, THREE LANE ROAD, WAITING TO CROSS 7 LANE ROAD, GOT THE GREEN LIGHT, PROCEEDED FORWARD UP TO MAYBE 10MPH AND GOT TO ABOUT 2ND LANE OF 7 TO CROSS INTERSECTION, THEN WHAM, I AM HIT IN THE INTERSECTION, LEFT SIDE JUST IN FRONT OF FRONT WHEEL, BY CAR THAT RAN RED LIGHT AT FULL SPEED GOING NORTH, BASICALLY TOOK FRONT OF MY CAR OFF, SPUN ME 1 3/4 TIMES TO NOW FACE SOUTH, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, MY BODY LEFT SIDE HEAD, SHOULDER AND HIP HIT THE LEFT SIDE INTERIOR EVEN THOUGH MY SEAT BEAT WAS ON (WAS DAZED AND HAD HELP GETTING BELT OFF) AND RECEIVED CONCUSSION, NECK INJURY, HEARING DIFFICULTY, ACCELERATED MEMORY LOSS ISSUES, DAMAGED SHOULDER, HIP TROUBLES, BOUTS OF UNEXPLAINED OUTBURSTS FROM LITTLE ANXIETY STIMULUS, HEIGHTENED STARTLE RESPONSE, NIGHTMARES, AND SEVERE TROUBLE CONTROLLING ANXIETY THAT WERE ALL NOT PRESENT PRIOR TO THE CRASH. THE CAR WAS TOTALED IMMEDIATELY BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY, AND EVEN THOUGH WITNESSES SAW THAT I HAD THE GREEN AND THAT THE CAR THAT HIT ME AT A 90 DEGREE AND ESTIMATED TO BE DOING 35-50MPH WHILE RUNNING THE RED LIGHT, THE ATTORNEY WAS UNABLE TO BLOCK THE QUICK DISAPPEAR OF THE VEHICLE AND THE POLICE INVESTIGATORS CRASH SITE NOTES AND REPORT WAS VERY INCOMPLETE AND WRONGLY DOCUMENTED THE ACCIDENT. MY CONCERN IS THAT I HAVE LINGERING PAINS, HIP TROUBLE, STILL LOW PAIN LEFT SIDE HEAD, NECK TENSIONS, NEW MEMORY ISSUES, SEVERE ANXIETY ATTACKS THAT CAUSE OVER 220 BP AND

DRIVING IN MODERATE RAIN 45 MPH WITH WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON INTERMITTENT. BLADES STOPPED ABRUPTLY, STAYED IN MIDDLE OF WINDSHIELD. MOTOR CLICKS BUT BLADES OBVIOUSLY NOT ENGAGED AT BASE, WHICH IS COVERED BY BLACK PLASTIC AND INACCESSIBLE. DANGEROUS!

MY 2014 EQUINOX USES 1.5 TO 2.0 OTS. OF OIL EVERY 1500 - 2000 MILES. THE ENGINE OIL SENSOR DOES NOT INDICATE ANY PROBLEMS OR LOW OIL CAPICATY. MY 2014 EQUINOX MAKES A LOUD ROARING NOISE FROM THE REAR END ON BOTH SIDES AND NOW WILL START TO SHAKE SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING, WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES IT MAKES A BUMPING SOUND

THE VEHICLE BURNS OIL AT A VERY FAST PACE, THE VEHICLE ALSO GOES INTO POWER REDUCED MORNING WITH A VEHICLE CAN ONLY GO TO 20 MPH, WHEN CUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF IT HESITATES TO TURN OFF AND SHAKES WANTS THE ENGINE FULLY SHUT DOWN.

ON 2/26/20 IN THE MORNING, THE CAR WAS PARKED WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON AND THE ENGINE RATTLE LOUDLY. I TURNED OFF IMMEDIATELY. MY HUSBAND WAS WITH ME AND ASKED ME TO TURN IT ON AGAIN. THIS TIME IT ONLY MADE LOUD NOISES BUT IT DID NOT TURN ON. IT WAS TOWED 2 DAYS LATER TO A MECHANIC IN FINKSBURG, MD. HE SAID THE ENGINE WAS DESTROYED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MECHANIC AND US HAD OBSERVED THAT WHEN THE CAR REACHED 125K MILES, THE OIL CONSUMPTION INCREASED AND HAD TO BE REFILLED ON A WEEKLY BASIS. BEFORE THE ENGINE BROKE, THE CAR WAS WORTH ABOUT $4K. THE MECHANIC SAYS IT WILL BE $8K TO $8,500 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I, OF COURSE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY AND NOW I DON'T HAVE A CAR. THERE SHOULD BE AN ENGINE RECALL ON THE GM 2014 CHEVY EQUINOX. IT'S UNCONSCIONABLE THAT GM HAS SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THEIR EQUINOX ENGINES AND THEY KEEP SELLING THEM. I HOPE I CAN JOIN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT EVEN IF IT TAKES YEARS TO FORCE GM TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR FRAUDULENT PRACTICES THAT CAUSE SUCH HARDSHIP AND EMOTIONAL DISTRESS TO US TRUSTING CONSUMERS.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY ENGINE JUST QUIT WORKING AND MY EMERGENCY LIGHT WERE NIT FUNCTIONING. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND WAS ADVISED IT COULD BE MY FUEL PUMP. THEY MENTION THIS SPECIFIC TYPE OF CARS ARE KNOW FOR THESE ISSUE. FUEL PUMP FAILS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO JUST STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

WAS OUT OF TOWN FOR THE WEEKEND. I WAS DRIVING IT AND WHEN I WOULD PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL THE ENGINE SEEMED TO "SPUTTER" NOW AND AGAIN. AS I PULLED INTO MY DESTINATION (THANKFULLY I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY OR A BRIDGE) MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF AND WAS ABLE TO GLIDE INTO THE PARKING LOT. I GOT OUT I LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND ALL OF THE OIL WAS JUST DUMPING OUT OF THE CAR LIKE A FAUCET. WITH MY SON BEING WITH ME AND BEING OUT OF TOWN I FIGURED I WOULD GET IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST MECHANIC TO ASSES THE SITUATION. THEY BELIEVED THE ISSUE WAS THE PCV ISSUE IN BULLETIN #14882. I WENT WITHOUT THE CAR FOR 2 WEEKS. THEY DID THE BEST THEY COULD AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT BACK HOME. THERE IS STILL AN ENGINE LEAD HOWEVER. I CALLED THE NUMBER ON THE BULLETIN AND THE PERSON THERE SAID THAT MY VIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE BULLETIN. I WAS SURPRISED. ONLY 80,000 ON THE CAR TOO. SHE SAID I SHOULD OF TAKEN IT TO THE NEAREST DEALER - HOWEVER ON A SATURDAY NIGHT MOST OF THEM ARE NOT OPEN - NOR WAS I FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA.

MY VEHICLE WAS RUNNING HORRIBLE FOR A FEW WEEKS , THEN NOTICED REAL BAD OIL LEAK . DROPPED VEHICLE OFF AT DEALER WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A BLOCKED PCV VALVE CAUSING MY REAR MAIN OIL SEAL TO PUSH OUT . HAD ALL THE WORK DONE , PLUS OTHER WORK DEALER RECOMMENDED. AFTER THE FACT I LOOKED UP MY COMPLAINT THAT I WAS HAVING ON THE INTERNET AND CAME ACROSS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND FOUND GM BULLETIN NUMBER 14882 THAT SPECIFIES THE SAME COMPLAINT THAT I HAD. I BROUGHT THIS UP TO THE MANUFACTURING COMPANY AND THEY EXPLAIN TO ME THAT THIS BULLETIN IS VIN SPECIFIC AND IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED . CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY NOT WHEN IT'S THE SAME ENGINE , YEAR .. ETC

I WAS PARKING MY CAR AND IT LURCHED FORWARD ABOUT 2 INCHES. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WENT INTO WORK. WHEN I CAME BACK OUTSIDE 5 HOURS LATER, ALL THE ENGINE OIL HAD LEAKED OUT AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. IT HAS BEEN TOWED TO MY HOUSE AND HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY EVER SINCE. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY CAR. I DO OIL CHANGES AND ANY OTHER MAINTENANCE ISSUES ALL IN A TIMELY MANNER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT STOP, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED ABNORMALLY WITHOUT WARNING. WHILE ENTERING THE DRIVEWAY OF HIS RESIDENCE, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND BECAME AWARE OF AN OIL AND GASOLINE LEAK UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BRYDEN MOTORS 548 BROAD ST, BELOIT, WI 53511 WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS INITIALLY DIAGNOSED WITH A DEFECTIVE REAR MAIN SEAL. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92.000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE CAUSE TO BE AN OVER PRESSURIZED PCV CRANK CASE WHICH CAUSED THE SEALS TO BLOWOUT AND DESTROY THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS LEFT STRANDED. THE CONTACT EXPLAINED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED BEFORE THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE MANUFACTURER FAILED TO OFFER A RESOLUTION FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO APPLE CHEVROLET BUICK NORTHFIELD (1600 CANNON LN, NORTHFIELD, MN 55057, (507) 645-5619), TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,844.

AFTER SHOPPING AND ON MY WAY HOME THE CHIME THAT SOUNDS WHEN YOUR SEATBELT IS OFF STARTED CHIMING. AS I LOOKED AT THE DASH THERE WAS A MESSAGE THAT STATED TO SERVICE THE AIRBAG. I WAS SURPRISED BECAUSE IN ALL THE YEARS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING LIKE THIS WITH THE AIRBAG. I DROVE THE VEHICLE THE NEXT DAY AND THE MESSAGE GOES ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY ALONG WITH THE CHIME NOISE. IT'S EXTREMELY IRRITATING. SHOULD THIS BE A RECALL ISSUE?

VEHICLE: 2014 CHEVY EQUINOX NOTE:3 INCIDENTS, ALL FROM WINDSHIELD WIPER TRANSMISSION FAILING INCIDENT #1: 5/19/2019,DRIVING @55MPH ON HIGHWAY(WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR!)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT BECAME AWARE OF AN OIL LEAK UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO (HWY 34 AUTO SALES, 619 1ST ST E, PARK RAPIDS, MN 56470 (218) 536-0771) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND DETERMINED THE REAR MAIN SEAL BLEW WHICH CAUSED THE TIMING CHAIN TO FRACTURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 115,000.

I OWN A 2014 EQUINOX IT HAS 103,000. THE CODE WAS FOR A POSITION ACTUATOR SENSOR ( TIMING VARIABLE SOLENOID). I REPLACED IT, SIMPLE FIX. ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON. WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS I REALIZE MY VEHICLE IDLES ON THE LOWER SIDE.MY VEHICLE ALMOST STALLED OUT WHILE IN A DRIVE THRU ONE DAY. ONCE YOU PUT SOME GAS TO IT SEEMS OK. PROBLEM GOES AWAY FOR A WHILE. THEN FINALLY ONE DAY I GO TO LEAVE WORK AND MY STABILITRAK MESSAGE POPS UP AND TAKES MANY TIMES TO START. MY LIGHTS ACT WEIRD. CAR GET STUCK TURNING OVER AND WENT TO LIMP MODE. I FINALLY GET IT TO COME OUT OF THIS SOMEHOW AND MAKE MY LONG COMMUTE HOME, BUT I CAN TELL THE POWER IN MY CAR IS LACKING.NO MESSAGES JUST A ENGINE LIGHT WITH THE SAME CODES. NEXT DAY MY CAR STARTS FINE AND LIKE NOTHING IS WRONG. CAR STALLS OUT 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. BARELY GET IT HOME. THEN ACTS LIKE NOTHING HAPPENS. STALLS OUT WHILE IN MCDONALD DRIVE THRU WITH MY KIDS. WILL NOT START, HAD TO PUSH IT TO A PARKING SPOT. AFTER 20 MINUTES I GET IT TO START, BUT I HAVE NO RPMS AND IT FEELS LIKE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN MY CAR IS NOT RUNNING PROPERLY. I MAKE IT TO MY MOMS, WHICH IS VERY CLOSE TO MCDONALD. PARK IT, PICK IT UP THAT NIGHT. STARTS UP LIKE NOTHING IS WRONG. I DECIDE TO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC. FIRST VISIT WAS A $33 PART THAT COST ME $400 WORTH OF LABOR. THEY DIAGNOSED MY CAR WITH THEIR COMPUTER, NONE OF MY SENSORS ARE BAD. ENGINE LIGHT STATES OTHER WISE. CAR DOES ALL THE SYMPTOMS AGAIN ALONG WITH LOUD ENGINE NOISE. TU

DUE TO IT HAPPENING TO ME AND FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN RESEARCHING NOW MY CARS ENGINE WAS BLOWN DUE TO THE LACK OF OIL AND THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE IS PRONE TO HAVE AN EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION OF OIL. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND STARTED HEARING A KNOCKING SOUND I PARKED THE CAR. TOOK THE PLASTIC STUFF OFF THE TOP AND FOUND NO OIL IN MY ENGINE AFTER HAVING A OIL CHANGE NOT TO LONG AGO. SO I HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED AND I STILL OWE ON THE CAR

CAR WAS RUNNING FINE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, CALLED DEALERSHIP, SCHEDULED APPT, DROVE IN TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. CALLED ME AND SAID THAT MY TIMING BELT WAS LOOSE AND THAT THERE WAS SHREDDED METAL THROUGHOUT, NOT ADVISED TO REBUILD OR DRIVE AS IT WAS VERY UNSAFE THAT I EVEN DROVE IT THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. NEEDED WHOLE NEW ENGINE WHICH COST MORE THAN WHAT VEHICLE IS WORTH. VEHICLE HAD JUST CROSSED 100,000, NO OTHER WARNING SIGNS. SERVICED REGULARLY, NO ISSUES NOTED WITH ENGINE PRIOR TO THIS OCCASION.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF HEAVY RAIN AND TRAFFIC. WE HAD TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY WITH HAZARDS AND BY STICKING OUR HEADS OUT OF THE WINDOW.

MY CAR HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING.THE ROADSIDE ASST PERSON TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY.I GOT THE BATTERY.I GOT THE NEW BATTERY IT WAS OK AFTER A WEEK.SO I TOOK IT TO MY MACHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE MOTOR WAS NO GOOD.I NEED MY CAR CAUSE I GO TO CHEMO.THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN I WAS HEARING A KNOCKING SOUND.

ON 1/18/2020, WHILE DRIVING DURING HEAVY RAIN, THE WIPERS SWUNG TO THE LEFT DURING A CYCLE AND STAYED IN THE FAR LEFT POSITION. THEY DID NOT CYCLE ANYMORE AND BECAME LOOSE AND COULD BE MOVED BY HAND IN ANY DIRECTION. PULLED OFF AND GOT UNDER HOOD AND CHANGED THE FUSE #29, WITH NO AVAIL. THE WIPER MOTOR COULD BE HEARD BUT WOULD NOT CYCLE THE WIPERS. VERY DANGEROUS CONDITIONS IN WHICH TO LOSE FUNCTION OF WIPERS.

WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN. WIPERS SLUNG TO THE LEFT SIDE OF WINDSHIELD AND STOPPED WORKING. HAD TO PULL OFF HIGHWAY TILL IT QUIT RAINING.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE REAR ENGINE SEAL BLEW OUT AND WITHIN A FEW MINUTES (UNKNOWINGLY MY ENGINE DRAINED COMPLETELY OF OIL) AND BY THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER 2 LANES THE DAMAGE HAD BEEN DONE SNAPPING CONNECTING ROD AND DAMAGING AN ENTIRE CYLINDER. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF THIS ISSUE AND I FEAR THAT IF MY WIFE HAD BEEN DRIVING WITH MY TWO CHILDREN UNDER 4 THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. I WAS ABLE TO RECOGNIZE THE SLIGHT NOISE AT FIRST THAT PROGRESSIVELY GOT LOUDER, BUT COULD SEE MY WIFE IGNORING IT LONG ENOUGH TO CAUSE AN ISSUE. THIS IS EXTREMELY SCARY TO ME AND AT 111K THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. GM OFFERED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR THE REPAIR AT LESS THAN A 1/3 OF THE COST AND COULD NOT GET ANY EXPLANATION WHY IT IS DIFFERENT FROM BULLETIN 14882 THAT DESCRIBES THE EXACT ISSUE THAT MY CAR HAD.

2014 CHEVY EQUINOX WILL STALL WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS HAPPENS AT ANYTIME WHILE DRIVING YOU GO TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR TURNS OFF, THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN NUMEROUS TIMES AND SPENT OVER 2K ON REPAIRS. CURRENTLY MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, NO CODES. IT APPEARS THAT EVERYTHING IS OPERATING NORMALLY. IT IS NOT, I WILL NOT LET MY DAUGHTER DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE I AM WORRIED THAT SHE COULD BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I RECENTLY FOUND THAT GM HAD IDENTIFIED THAT THIS VEHICLE CONSUMES A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL AND IT CAUSING ISSUES SIMILAR TO WHAT I AM REPORTING. ONLY ISSUE IS THEY ARE REQUIRING A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST REQUIRING MULTIPLE VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. WHICH I HAVE DONE AND THEY STILL SAY ITS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. IN THE MEAN TIME I AM GOING TO CONTINUE TO STALL PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, PUTTING MY LIFE AND OTHERS LIFE AT RISK. THERE NEEDS TO BE A MANDATORY RECALL AND CORRECT THIS ISSUE. MY LAST TWO OIL CHANGES I HAD LESS THAN 2.5 QUARTS LEFT. THERE IS NO LEAK ON MY VEHICLE, AND I CHANGE MY OIL ABOUT EVERY 5K MILES PER MANUFACTURER SUGGESTIONS.

2014 EQUINOX. LEFT TRAIL AND PUDDLE OF OIL UP TO AND INTO MY CUSTOMER'S DRIVEWAY. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AND PER THE REPAIR FACILITY AND THEN LOCAL CHEVY DEALER "THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM". THE PCV VALVE STUCK DUE TO MOISTURE IN THE ENGINE WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE REAR OIL SEAL TO BLOW OUT. 112K MILES AND PERFECT UP TO THIS POINT. MY VIN # PER DEALERSHIP IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY (AS MANY ONLINE HAVE ALSO COMPLAINED).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER TRANSMISSION LINKAGE WAS FRACTURED. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 78,000.

HAVE HAD ONGOING OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES. REPLACED SOLENOIDS, CAM SHAFT ACUATORS, ADDED OIL ALL THE TIME. CAR BURNS OVER 4 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 5000 MILES. TOOK TODAY TO DEALER FOR OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, CAR BURNED 3-4 QUARTS IN LAST 1300 MILES. CAR LITERALLY DIED THERE AFTER THEY DID TEST AND PUT OIL IN (WOULD NOT RESTART) WAS TOLD TIMING CHAIN AND PISTONS (AT LEAST) WOULD NEED REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $3400 AT LEAST. IF ENGINE NEEDS COMPLETE REDO OVER $5000. THIS ISSUE WAS PREVALENT ON ALL CHEVY EQUINOX MODEL YEARS 2010-2-13 WITH THIS ISSUE. THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THEM AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS ERE GIVEN TO THESE OWNERS WITH THIS ISSUE. I AM BEING TOLD 2014 (WIT EXACTLY SAME MOTOR AND SAME ISSUES ) IS NOT COVERED BY GM. A SIMPLE ONLINE SEARCH YIELDS SIGNIFCANT DATA DESCRIBING EXACT SAME ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE (2014 CHEVY EQUINOX) WITH THE 2.4 LITER 4 CYLINDER MOTOT. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING IN MY CAR FOR OVER 2-3 YEARS. IT FIONALLY KILLED MY MOTOR.

MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF A DOWNPOUR. I TOOK MY CAR TO BE FIXED AND WAS TOLD THAT THE BALL BEARING IN THE WIPERS WAS COMPLETELY WORN OUT. I GOT THAT FIXED. NOW 1 MONTH LATER THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. I READ THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2013 AND OLDER. I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A WIDER RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, WITHOUT WARNING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE PLASTIC BUSHING THAT CONNECTED BOTH WIPERS TO THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR NO LONGER OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE OF $200 FOR THE REPAIR. DOXON TOYOTA OF AUBURN (3405 AUBURN WAY N, AUBURN, WA 98002, (253) 833-4555) AND AWESOME CHEVROLET BUICK (2580 N NATIONAL AVE, CHEHALIS, WA 98532, (360) 245-2265) WERE CONTACTED BY PHONE, BUT WERE UNABLE TO ASSIST BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

MY WIPERS JUST STOP WORKING IN THE MIDDLE.OF WIPING!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

CAR WAS IN MOTION AND WIPERS WERE IN USE DURING RAIN AND WIPER JUST STOPPED! WHILE DRIVING ONE EVENING IN THE RAIN, DRIVER'S SIDE WIPER ABRUPTLY STOPPED MID-WIPE AND STUCK UPRIGHT ON THE WINDSHIELD. I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER AND INCH ALONG TO A SERVICE CENTER AS VISIBILITY WAS SEVERELY LIMITED. CHEVY DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE WIPER MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AND THAT PART RECALL HAD NOT YET BEEN EXPANDED TO 2014 YEAR IN THE US. I AM FURIOUS TO LEARN THAT THE RECALL WAS EXPANDED ONLY TO CANADA! BESIDES THE $350 I AM OUT FOR THE REPAIR I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT GM IS NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING. SAFETY WAS THE BIGGEST FACTOR IN MY DECISION TO BUY AN EQUINOX AND WITH A TEEN DRIVER IN THE HOUSE, A FAILURE LIKE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC!!

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AFTER DARK IN THE RAIN AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. I HAD MY WIPERS SET ON HIGH WHEN THEY SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING MID CYCLE. I COULD HEAR THE WIPER MOTOR CYCLING BUT THE WIPER ARMS WERE NOT MOVING. I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE LINKAGE ( OR TRANSMISSION) FROM THE MOTOR TO THE WIPER ARMS. THE WIPER TRANSMISSION REQUIRED REPLACING DUE TO FAULTY BUSHINGS ON THE TRANSMISSION LINKS. THE CONNECTING ARM FELL OFF LEAVING THE WIPERS INOPERABLE.

WIPER BLADES STOP WORKING IN MID STREAM

WIPER TRANSMISSION HAS BROKEN 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS COST OF $500 SO FAR AND I HAVE APPOINTMENT AT GARAGE AGAIN I WAS DRIVING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT, WIPERS WERE WORKING, THEN A CLUNK AND WIPERS QUIT

CAR STALLS MOVING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. CAR STALLS WHEN SLOWING DOWN AT A STOP LIGHT, OR WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN.

I HAD MY WIPERS ON BECAUSE IT WAS A RAINY STORMY NIGHT. WHEN SUDDENLY THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER FLUNG COMPLETELY TO THE LEFT AND STAYED IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION AND STOPPED WORKING. I HAD THOUGHT SOMETHING HAD HIT MY WINDSHIELD THEN REALIZED IT DIDN'T THAT MY WIPER HAD JUST STOPPED. THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER WORKS JUST FINE BUT THE DRIVER SIDE ONE DOES NOT. I COULD NOT SEE. I WAS INCHES AWAY FROM AN ACCIDENT HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD

WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING IN A SNOW/SLEET STORM WHILE DRIVING, WIPER MOTOR STILL RUNNING, WIPER TRANSMISSION BROKEN. LUCKY NO ONE WAS SERIOUSLY HURT. WIPER TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE RECALLED AS THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS DEFECT.
