2014 Chevrolet Equinox complaints

VEHICLE DIES INTERMITTENTLY THROUGHOUT ALL DRIVING RANGES. FROM IDLING TO DRIVING AT ROAD SPEEDS. MULTIPLE TIMES IN A TRIP OR RANDOMLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 63 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED TO THE RIGHT AND SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PULLED THE STEERING WHEEL FORCIBLY TO THE LEFT, CAUSING THE WHEEL TO UNLOCK ITSELF AND ALMOST FLIP THE VEHICLE OVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BRADLEY HUBLER CHEVROLET (317-736-5141, LOCATED AT 1550 N MORTON ST, FRANKLIN, IN 46131) WHERE THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS REPROGRAMMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED THE CONTACT A $100 REBATE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,922.

I PURCHASED A NEW REPLACEMENT BATTERY FROM CHEVROLET IN NOVEMBER 2018. ON MAY 21. 2019, WITH ONLY 3,670 MILES ON THE NEW BATTERY, THE CAR WOULD NOT START. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, AND WAS CHARGED. THE DEALER EXPLAINED THAT IF I DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR 30 MILES A DAY, THE BATTERY WILL NOT MAINTAIN A CHARGE AFTER THREE OR FOUR DAYS. FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS, I HAVE DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE LESS THAN 30 MILES A DAY AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT I BUY A BATTERY TENDER FOR THE CAR BUT I HAVE NO ACCESS TO A 110 VOLT PLUG. IN DECEMBER 2019, I AM GOING TO TEXAS AND MY CAR WILL BE PARKED AT THE AIRPORT FOR FIVE DAYS AND I AM AFRAID THAT THE BATTERY WILL BE DEAD WHEN I RETURN. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND SAW THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM AMONGST 2014 EQUINOX OWNERS. GENERAL MOTORS CONFIRMED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE. GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD INFORM OWNERS OF THIS ISSUE AND RECOMMEND A SOLUTION.

WIPERS FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE FREEWAY. HEAVY RAIN, WIPERS WERE ON AT HIGHEST SPEED SETTING WHEN SOMETHING AUDIBLY SNAPPED AND WIPERS EXTENDED OFF THE WINDSHIELD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF VEHICLE. VISIBILITY WAS GREATLY REDUCED TO THE POINT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY DURING A THUNDERSTORM WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY WIPERS STOPPED. I PROCEEDED TO THE MEDIAN TO TRY TO SEE FIX THE PROBLEM. THEN I DROVE CAUTIOUSLY TO THE NEXT EXIT. I COULD HEAR THE WIPER MOTOR GOING BUT THE WIPERS IT SELF WOULD NOT WORK. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AN AS I SEE THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH EQUINOXES.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE TURNPIKE IN THE RAIN. THE BUSHING ON THE LINKAGE AT THE WIPER MOTOR BROKE APART.

VEHICLE SHAKES WHEN DRIVING, ESPECIALLY ON HIGHWAY, SLUGGISH TO ACCELERATE, MAKING HIGHWAY DRIVING FEARFUL. VEHICLE ALSO IS ROUGH AT IDLE, WITH POSSIBLE DYING OF ENGINE AT STOP LIGHTS. 8 REPAIRS SINCE JULY, 2017 - ALL RELATIVE TO SAME ISSUE - CAMSHAFT/EXHAUST. THIS CURRENT REPAIRS HAS BEEN FOR THE BALANCING SHAFT/WATER PUMP CHAIN, TENSIONER AND GASKETS, SEALS, ETC. I HAVE DONE A TIMELINE OF ISSUES/REPAIRS TO TRY TO TAKE ON GM. GOOD LUCK I REALIZE. FROM THE 7 DEALERSHIP TRIPS IN THE LAST YEAR THEY APPEAR TO ALL HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE INITIAL DAMAGE TO THE EXHAUST/CAMSHAFT REPAIRS AS EACH AND EVERY TIME SINCE THEN, EITHER THE EXHAUST OF THE CAMSHAFT HAS BEEN REPAIRED IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. THE INITIAL ISSUE WAS SLUGGISH ACCELERATION, ENGINE LIGHT ON. REPAIRED EXHAUST AND INTAKE CAMSHAFT ACTUATORS. THEN THE ALTERNATOR/BELT WENT OUT (NOT COUNTED IN THE 7 - HAD REPAIRED ELSEWHERE). I DIDN'T KNOW THEY FAILED FROM OIL ALL OVER THEM UNTIL THEY STARTED TO FAIL AGAIN AND LOOKED UNDER HOOD AND SAW OIL ALL OVER THE THING. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REPLACED R+R SEAL, PULLEY, BELT AND BALANCER. SINCE THEN WE HAVE HAD THE BALANCER 2X, TIMING CHAIN 3X, TENSIONER 3X.

THE ENGINE IN MY 2014 EQUINOX BLEW UP VIOLENTLY AT ONLY 67,937 MILES. IT OCCURRED AT FREEWAY SPEED ON I-94 IN DETROIT AND LEFT ME TOTALLY WITHOUT POWER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, INCLUDING MANY LARGE, COMMERCIAL TRUCKS. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO KEEP MY COOL AND NAVIGATE OFF THE NEAREST RAMP, COASTING TO RELATIVE SAFETY. TWO CONNECTING RODS WERE BROKEN IN HALF AND THE BLOCK ITSELF COMPLETELY RUINED. I BOUGHT THIS SUV FROM MY BROTHER WHO BOUGHT IT NEW AND IT HAS ALWAYS HAD PROPER MAINTENANCE. I HOPED THAT IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT'S UNDER 100K MILES, BUT WHEN I CONTACTED MY LOCAL GM DEALER THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO THE IN-SERVICE DATE (FALL 2013). THEREFORE, I HAD THE ENGINE PROFESSIONALLY REBUILT AT THE MOST REPUTABLE LOCAL SHOP.AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $5,500. I UNDERSTAND THAT A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT COULD BE AVAILABLE FROM GM IF THERE IS A RECALL, BUT CURRENTLY NONE IS AVAILABLE. IT IS MY CONTENTION THAT A WELL-MAINTAINED, LOW-MILEAGE MOTOR LIKE THIS SHOULDN'T BLOW UP AND THEREFORE, IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. I ASKED CHEVROLET FOR A PARTIAL REIMBURSEMENT, BUT THEY REFUSED.

MY WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF A THUNDERSTORM. IT WAS RAINING EXTREMELY HARD, I HAD TO PULL OVER TO AVOID HITTING SOMEONE BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE OUT OF MY WINDSHIELD.

DURING A TORRENTIAL RAIN STORM FRIDAY NIGHT APRIL 19 2019 APX 11:15PM ON 295 NEAR EXIT 29 OFF RAMP WIPERS STOPPED WORKING HAD TO BE TOWED AND NOW HAVING REPAIRED THRU WARRANTY COMPANY AND IN A RENTAL BECAUSE THE MOTOR IS DEFECTIVE

BAD OIL CONSUMPTION AND OIL WARNING LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. WHILE DRIVING WITH MY KIDS THE SUV STARTED TO IDLE VERY ROUGH AND WOULD JUST SHUT OFF ONCE I GOT INTO SLOWER TRAFFIC. AFTER THE 4TH TIME IN LESS THEN 2 MILES OF TRAFFIC THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CODE THAT WAS DISPLAYED WAS FOR THE VVT SOLENOID AND SO I HAD IT REPLACED ALONG WITH AN OIL CHANGE. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT OIL CAN EFFECT THE VVT SOLENOID SO I SHOULD CHANGE THE OIL FREQUENTLY FOR THE NEXT YEAR. EACH TIME I DID AN OIL CHANGE I STARTED NOTICING THAT LESS OIL WAS DRAINING OUT THEN WHAT WAS PUT IN. AFTER THE YEAR I WENT BACK TO FULL SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGES AT 6000 MILES APART BUT THEN HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE DRIVING ROUGH AND MAKING WEIRD NOISES 8 MONTHS LATER. ALONG WITH MISSING OIL ON THE CHANGE BETWEEN. NOT LONG AFTER THIS MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IN BOSTON TRAFFIC WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS NEARLY HIT BEFORE SHE COULD GET TO A SAFE PLACE WHERE I WAS ABLE TO TOW IT BACK HOME. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND GAVE THE SAME CODE FOR THE VVT. I REPLACED THIS FOR A SECOND TIME AND WHILE REPLACING I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE OIL WAS EXTREMELY LOW (LESS THEN A QUART CAME OUT). I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC FOR FURTHER TESTING AND HE SAID THAT AT NO POINT DURING HIS TEST PERIOD DID THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT EVER ILLUMINATE. I HAVE BEEN ADDING ALMOST 2 QUARTS EVERY 5-8 HUNDRED MILES JUST TO KEEP UP WITH IT. I FOUND SEVERAL OTHER EQUINOX OWNERS WITH

DRIVING HOME ON THE TURNPIKE DURING THE POURING RAIN, WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE INOPERABLE. VISIBILITY WAS COMPROMISED. VERY SCARY, ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. GMAC SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY 2014 EQUINOX.

PCV FROZE UP, CAUSING A FAIL IN MY REAR MAIN SEAL. HAPPENED TWICE IN 1 YEAR 1 MONTH TIMEFRAME. CHEVY WARRANTY COVERED FULL REPAIR FIRST TIME, SECOND TIME WAS PARTIAL CHEVY PAY, THE REST OUT OF MY POCKET.

THE WIND SHIELD WIPERS STOP WORKING ENTIRELY.

PURCHASED VEHICLE IN AUGUST OF 2018 AND ABOUT A MONTH LATER CAR BEGAN TO FEEL DIFFERENT WHILE DRIVING. PROBLEM BEGAN WHEN I WOULD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND CAR WOULD JUMP WHEN ACCELERATING. THEN WHILE GOING IN REVERSE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I HAD NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AT THIS POINT.NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT UNTIL ABOUT MARCH 2018. THE WITH ACCELERATING WENT FROM A 'JUML', TO CAR STALLING AND HAVING TO BE RESTARTED. BEGAN AS AN EVERY NOW AND THEN PROBLEM TO HAVING TO BE PUT IN THE SHOP BECAUSE IT WOULD STALL ALMOST EVERY TIME I WOULD STOP. WHEN IT STALLED IN A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WAS MY FINAL POINT OF FRUSTRATION. IT IS NOW APRIL 2019 AND IS CURRENTLY BEING DIAGNOSED. HAVE HAD A FEW DIFFERENT OPINIONS ON WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE, BUT NO FIX YET. ALL ARE COSTLY! AFTER READING REVIEWS THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED!

2014 EQUINOX 4DR. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO RUSTED BALL JOINT THAT CAUSED WIPER MODULE TO MALFUNCTION. *AS *TR

CHEVY EQUINOX 2014 BLEW A REAR MAIN SEAL AT 88,610 MILES AFTER BEING TOLD IS EXCESSIVELY CONSUMES OIL. I HEARD A POP AND THE LOW PRESSURE INDICATOR APPEARED. NO INDICATOR WAS PRESENT TO SHOW I HAD LOW OIL AT THE TIME OF THE VEHICLE LEAK STARTING, SO I WAS LEFT STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF A HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS IN -10 DEGREE WEATHER. THIS WAS A "COMMON ISSUE" IN THESE MODELS AND I WAS TOLD I MUST PAY 1,800$ TO REPAIR IT AS THERE ARE NO RECALLS OUT ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. THE ENGINE COMPLETELY ATE MY OIL AND NEGLECTED TO INFORM THAT IT WAS DOING SO AND IT WAS LOW, RESULTING IN ME BEING STUCK IN MY CAR WITH NO HEAT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL CONSUMPTION WAS LOW AND THE SOLENOIDS WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JERRY'S CHEVROLET (1940 E JOPPA RD, BALTIMORE, MD 21234) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,109.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION TRAVELING STRAIGHT GOING APPROXIMATELY 50MPH WHEN IT STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT FAILED TO YIELD THE RIGHT OF WAY. THE EQUINOX SUFFERED EXTENSIVE FRONT END DAMAGE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BUT NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.

LOW PRESSURE WARNING, CAR STALLS OUT WHILE MOVING, LEFT STRANDED. CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AND SAID PVC PLUG WAS CLOGGED CAUSING ENGINE REAR SEAL FAILURE. THIS IS A RECALL ON THIS MODEL BUT MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED, ENOUGH THOUGH THE MODEL YEAR WAS. I THINK THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED IN 2 PLACES CAUSING LIFE THREATENING CO CONDITIONS INSIDE IDLING CAR. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT ON THE VEHICLES WITH 2.4 LITER ECOTEC ENGINE. ROUGHLY A $1000 EXPENSE TO FIX WITH A NEW MANIFOLD. NOT WARRANTIED OR RECALLED ITEM. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING ENGINE STALLS. I NOTICE LOW POWER TORQUE WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE. IF I FORCE IT TO ACCELERATE, IT STALLS, AND TURNS OFF. ALMOST CAUSE 3 OR 4 COLISIONS BECAUSE PEOPLE DRIVING BEHIND ME DO NOT KNOW THAT MY CAR IS GOANNAMAKE SUDDEN STOP WHEN SHUTS OFF. THIS IS HAPPENING ON DAILY BASIS AFTER CAR WORMS UP. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY PULLED CODES P0010 AND P0011. I REPLACED BOTH SELINOIDS (INTAKE AND EXHAUST) $42.58 EACH BUT THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. I WAS ALSO TOLD TO REPLACE SPARKPLUGS AND I DID COOSING ORIGINAL BRAND AT NAPA PARTS STORE. THIS ALSO DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. I AM THINKING TO REPLACE THE COILS AS WELL, BUT THEY ARE EXPENSIVE AND NON RETURNABLE. LOCAL DEALER ADVISED ME THAT MY POWER TRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRED ON 12/05/2018. ALMOST EXACT DATE WHEN CAR STARTED ACTING UP. I CONTACTED GM ON 01/08/2019 AND 01/15/2019 AND WAS TOLD THE SAME. S.O.L. WEHICLE POWER TRAIN EXPIRED ON 12/05/18. I CONTACTED THEM ON JANUARY 8TH 2019 AND THEY DID NOT EVEN WANTED TO TALK. I WASTOLD THAT THERE IS NO RECALS AND TO PISS OFF. I DID HOWEVER,NOTICE THE OIL CONSUMPTION. WALMART ASSOCIATE CALLED ME AND ASKED WHEN WAS LAST TIME I REPLACED OIL, AND I POINTED OUT THE DATE ON THE STICKER AND TOLD HIM THAT HE WASTHE ONE DOING IT LAST TIME I WAS AT WALMART REPLACING THE OIL. HE LAUGHED AND STATED THAT OIL LEVEL WAS TOO LOW AND LIGHT IS NOT ON. HE ADVISED FULL CAR TROUBLESHOOTING AND TEST. I TRACKED THE MILAGE SINCE THAT DATE AND NOTICED THAT CAR WAS CONSUMING 1 QT OF O

THERE IS A ABOUT 3 MILES WHERE I USE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN GOING TO STORE . WHEN ENGAGING CRUSIE CONTROL AT AROUND 30 MPH MOTOR WOULD REV. UP , TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE . WENT TO DEALER , THEY SAID WITH OUT CODES THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING . NO ENGINE LIGHT BUT DON'T KNOW IF CODES MAY BE THERE , DEALER DID NOT CHECK .

WHILE DRIVING ON 1-30-19, MY EQUINOX STARTED RATTLING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I CHECK THE OIL AND IT WAS ALMOST EMPTY. THERE WAS OIL DRIPPING FROM THE MAIN REAR OIL SEAL SO I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO AN AUTO MECHANIC. AFTER HE INSPECTED THE VEHICLE HE EXPLAINED THAT I BLEW OUT THE REAR MAIN SEAL DUE TO A PLUGGED PVC VALVE AND THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS PROBLEM, (14882). I CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALER AN HE SAID MY VIN WAS NOT LISTED UNDER THIS BULLETIN. HOWEVER THEY WERE UNABLE TO ANSWER WHAT CRITERIA WAS NEEDED TO BE COVERED UNDER THIS SERVICE BULLETIN.

WHILE DRIVING AT ORDINARY HIGHWAY SPEEDS DURING COLD WEATHER OPERATIONS MY 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX WITH A 2.4L ECOTEC ENGINE EXPERIENCED A REAR MAIN SEAL FAILURE. THE FAILURE CAUSED A MAJORITY OF THE ENGINE OIL TO BE PUSHED OUT THROUGH THE REAR MAIN SEAL DESTROYING THE ENGINE. THIS FAILURE WAS CONSISTENT WITH THE SERVICE BULLETIN NO. 14882 (SEE ATTACHED), A PLUGGED PCV ORIFICE. ICING OF THE PCV ORIFICE IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT CHEVROLET HAS FAILED TO ADDRESS. I CALLED CHEVROLET AND REQUESTED THEM TO COVER THE COST OF REPAIRING THE ENGINE WITH THE DESIGN DEFECT BUT THEY REFUSED TO EXTEND THE SPECIAL COVERAGE OF 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS BUT THE DESIGN DEFECT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY CHEVROLET. I HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY CHEVROLET'S DESIGN DEFECT AND REFUSAL TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE AMOUNT IT COST TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE.

I HAVE AN EQUINOX WITH A BLOWN MOTOR THAT GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE IS A PROBLEM. THERE IS NO LOW OIL LIGHT ON THESE CARS, NOT TO MENTION EXCESSIVE OIL BURN. I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF OIL IT USES AND THAT ITS ALWAYS BLACK - TO NO AVAIL. A SMALL SOCIAL MEDIA INQUIRY TELLS ME THAT 2 OUT OF EVERY 3 OF THESE VEHCILES HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER MILKED IT UNTIL THE WARRANTY WAS UP, AND NOW THE AG IS TELLING ME I'M UP A CREEK BECAUSE I DIDN'T TAKE IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER. GM TELLS ME THE CAR IS TOO OLD TO FIX - ITS A 2014!!!! STILL PAYING ON IT!!! CHEVY NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS POORLY DESIGNED MOTOR. I DID SEE AN ATTORNEY AND I WAS THE SECOND PERSON THAT WEEK WITH THIS COMPLAINT. HOW MANY MORE ARE OUT THERE?

I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY DURING A ICE/RAIN STORM WHEN MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPED WORKING CAUSING A SERIOUS HAZARD SITUATION. GM HAS TO START FIXING THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE CAUSES AN ACCIDENT AND SOMEONE DIES BEACUSE OF THIS. HOPE SOMETHING GETS DONE QUICK .

DRIVING 45 MPH DOWN A STREET IN A DOWNPOUR AT NIGHT. NO STREETLIGHTS ON THE ROAD. MY WIPER ARMS BOTH STOPPED MOVING. IMMEDIATELY LOST ABILITY TO SEE THE ROAD WHILE TRAVELING AT A GOOD SPEED. WAS ABLE TO VEER TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND SLOW DOWN TO 5 MPH, WHERE I WAS THEN ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD AGAIN. HAD TO DRIVE 6 MILES AT 5 MPH TO GET HOME. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP NEXT DAY AND DROPED IT OFF. TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM. WIPER TRANSMISSION BROKE. EXTENDED WARRENTEE TOOK CARE OF THE REPLACEMENT. BUT THIS CAR ONLY HAD 50K MILES ON IT AND ITS NOT BEEN DRIVEN HARD. VERY UNNERVING TO HAVE SOMETHING BREAK THAT ISN'T USED SO OFTEN. SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF THESE WIPER TRANSMISSIONS BREAK. RECALL SOON??

MID NOVEMBER 2018, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. I AM A NURSE IN A CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION LAB, MY PAGER HAD GONE OFF, SO I ACTUALLY WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY TO THE HOSPITAL FOR SOMEONE HAVING A HEART ATTACK WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT WAS POURING DOWN RAIN, I WAS ON A HIGHWAY BRIDGE WITH NO SHOULDER, WHEN MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST STOPPED WORKING. THEY WERE WORKING WHEN I LEFT MY HOUSE. THE RAIN WAS COMING DOWN HARD, SO WHEN MY WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING, I PANICKED. I NEARLY HIT A NEARBY CAR BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE THROUGH THE DOWNPOUR. ONCE I GOT OFF THE BRIDGE, THERE WAS A SHOULDER TO PULL OFF TO. I TURNED MY CAR OFF, GOT OUT TO SEE IF SOMETHING HAD GOT CAUGHT IN THE WIPERS,NOTHING. I RESTARTED MY CARE TO SEE IF THE WIPERS WOULD WORK, THEY WOULDN'T. LUCKILY, I HAVE A COWORKER WHO LIVES A LITTLE FURTHER THAN ME WHO WOULD BE COMING DOWN THE SAME ROUTE WHO WAS ABLE TO PICK ME UP TO GET TO THE HOSPITAL. IT WAS NO LONGER RAINING WHEN I LATER THAT NIGHT, WAS DROPPED BACK OFF AT MY CAR. THE WIPERS STILL DID NOT WORK. I THOUGHT, MAYBE A FUSE OR SOMETHING BLEW. THAT DIDN'T SEEM TO ACTUALLY BE THE PROBLEM AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH AND ASSESSMENT. I REPLACED THE FUSE, THEY STILL DIDN'T WORK. I COULD MOVE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WITH THEM OFF, WHICH SEEMS TO SUGGEST THAT THE LINKAGE IS BROKEN OR THE MOTOR IS NOT WORKING.

YOUR GM BULLETIN 14882 SHOULD BE A COMPLETE RECALL FOR ALL EQUINOX'S. THIS PART IS HAZARDOUS, AND HAS COST WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE ALOT OF MONEY. I HAVE MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE THAT I HAVE ONLY HAD 1 YEAR AND NOW BECAUSE OF YOUR "SPECIAL" BULLETIN AND BULLCRAP THAT IT WASN'T BUILT IN A SPECIAL PLANT I HAVE TO SPEND MORE THEN WHAT THE TRUCK IS WORTH TO PUT A BRAND NEW MOTOR IN MY SUV. AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IN -55 DEGREE WEATHER. IN CONDITIONS THAT THE PCV REAR SEAL SYSTEM CANNOT HANDLE AND YOU ALL KNOW THIS, BUT REFUSE TO TAKE ACTION. HOW CAN YOU BE OK WITH THIS, AND ALLOW PEOPLE TO CONTINUE PURCHASE THESE VEHICLES? NO AT CHEVY, GM, NOR AT THE DEALERSHIP SEEM WILLING TO HELP IN ANY SENSE AND IT IS REALLY SAD, WE HAVE BEEN BUYING CHEVY SINCE AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER, AND IT LOOKS LIKE I MAY HAVE TO START LOOKING AT NISSAN OR EVEN FORD BECAUSE AT LEAST THEY CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. 1 YEAR I OWNED THE VEHICLE, AND I EITHER HAVE TO USE IT AS A LAWN ORNAMENT - OR PAY $8,100.00 TO FIX IT - UNREAL.

BEGAN HEARING NOISE FROM THE SUNROOF TWO MONTHS AGO. SHORTLY AFTER THAT, WE TOOK THE CAR THROUGH A CAR WASH AND IT LEAKED ALL AROUND THE FRAME AND BY THE SEATBELTS. UPON CHECKING, THERE WAS A SPACE WHERE IT WAS NOT CLOSING COMPLETELY. WE FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS TO CALIBRATE THE SUNROOF AND IT STILL DOESN'T WORK. YOU CAN CLOSE IT, BUT AFTER YOU DRIVE FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME IT WILL LIFT SOMEWHAT ON ITS OWN. THE SUNROOF HAS NOT BEEN USED DURING THE 4 YEARS THAT WE HAVE HAD THE CAR.12

IT WAS A VERY COLD MORNING AND I WAS DROPPING MY DAUGHTER OFF AT SCHOOL ON MY WAY TO WORK ON A STATE RT. MY ENGINE STARTED MAKING A WEIRD NOISE AND THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AND INSTRUCTED ME TO TURN THE CAR OFF. I PULLED OVER AND WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR I NOTICED THAT ALL OF THE OIL HAD LEAKED OUT OF MY CAR ONTO THE GROUND. LUCKILY, MY HUSBAND WAS OFF WORK THAT MORNING AND ABLE TO COME AND PICK ME UP BEFORE I FROZE TO DEATH. A TOW TRUCK TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE SHOP THAT WORKS ON OUR CARS. THEY WANTED NOTHING TO DUE WITH IT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THE YEAR MAKE A MODEL OF MY VEHICLE. THEY GAVE US A COPY OF A BULLETIN THAT WAS SENT OUT BY GM, REF # 14882, STATING THE EXACT SITUATION THAT OCCURRED WITH MY VEHICLE. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED US THAT MY VIN # WAS NOT COVERED. HOW COULD THIS BE OK? IF THERE IS A FAULTY PART INSTALLED INTO A VEHICLE, HOW CAN THE CUSTOMER BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS? IF YOU SEARCH THIS EXACT SITUATION ON THE INTERNET, YOU WILL FIND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE. ON TOP OF BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR OVER 2000.00 IN REPAIRS, THEY ALSO CHARGED ME FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND ALIGNMENT. HOW IS THIS GOOD BUSINESS?

PURCHASED MY PRE-DRIVEN SUV 88 DAYS AGO. AFTER PUMPING GAS, I ATTEMPTED TO START MY CAR & IT WOULDN'T START. I TURNED OFF THE RADIO, TRIED AGAIN BECAUSE IT WAS COLD OUT IT STARTED BUT SIMULTANEOUSLY THE 'CHECK ENGINE LIGHT' CANMR ON. WHILE IDLING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT LESS THAN A MIN LATER, IT CUT-OFF AGAIN! ANOTHER CAR WAS RIGHT BEHIND ME. I TURNED ON MY FLASHERS & STARTED UP AGAIN. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AT MY NEXT STOP, IT CUT-OFF AGAIN! I RESTARTED MY CAR, KEPT MY FLASHERS ON AND PRAYED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET TRYING TO ARRIVE HOME TO BEAT THE EXPECTED 'ICESTORM' I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT BUT THEY WERE CLOSED BUT WOULD CALL BACK. THE NEXT MORNING I HAD MY CAR TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER - 13 MILES AWAY. THE SERVICE DEPT. HAS HAD HAD MY CAR FOR MORE THAN 2 DAYS & COULDN'T IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. THEY EVENTUALLY SAID THE ERROR CODE WAS P0010. THE PART NEEDED WAS: CAM SHAFT POSITION ACUATOR. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT THE DEALER SUGGESTED & I PAID FOR, REFUSED TO COVER PARTS, LABOR OR RENTAL REIMBURSEMENT EVEN AFTER ARGUING WITH THE SERVICE MGR. JUDGING BY THE COMMENTS/COMPLAINTS THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE EQUINOX, I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. I AM A WIDOW, ON DISABILITY & NEED A RELIABLE VEHICLE BUT THIS DEFECT HAS PLACED ME IN A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION. I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED OR MUCH WORSE SERIOUSLY INJURED. THIS IS DANGEROUS! THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND REMEDIED ONCE-AND-FOR-ALL. I HAD NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OR I WOULDN'T HAVE PURCHASED THIS C

JANUARY 21, 2019 I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE, NO ENGINE OR WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. WHILE DRIVING I CALLED MY DEALER SERVICE DEPT AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND THAT I WOULD BRING THE CAR DIRECTLY THERE TO DROP OFF TO BE CHECKED. ON THE WAY, ALL OF A SUDDEN EVERY LIGHT CAME ON AND TOLD ME TO IMMEDIATELY TURN THE ENGINE OFF. I DID AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE ENGINE BLEW UP AND HAS TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS VERY COLD AND APPARENTLY THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF OIL BUILD UP AND FROZEN WATER IN THE AIR FILTER WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO BLOW OUT THE REAR. I SERVICE MY CAR REGULARLY AND MAINTAIN THEM WELL. I WAS SHOCKED THIS HAPPENED AS I REALLY LIKED THE CAR. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 95,000 MILES ON IT. I TYPICALLY GET 250-300,000 MILES FROM MY VEHICLES. I HAVE HEARD THIS CAN BE A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINES. I AM NOW REPLACING THE ENGINE WITH A USED ONE.

ON THURSDAY, 31 JANUARY I WAS DRIVING MY 2014 CHEVY EQUINOX HOME FROM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY DOING ABOUT 60-62 MPH AND HEARD A POPPING NOISE FOLLOWED UP WITH MY CAR MAKING A LOUD NOISE AND THE DISPLAY STATING THE CAR WAS LOW ON OIL AND THE ENGINE WAS POWERING DOWN, TO STOP THE CAR IMMEDIATELY. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A LOCAL MUFFLER SHOP BEFORE MY CAR DIED. THEY WERE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AFTER SOME DIAGNOSTICS AND STATED THAT THEY HAD SEEN THIS SAME ISSUE RECENTLY WITH MULTIPLE CHEVY EQUINOX'S. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME OF A TSB DATED JAN 22, 2016. THE REF # IS PIP5093B. THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE AND RECOMMENDED THAT I CONTACT CHEVY ABOUT A POSSIBLE RECALL AND TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. AS SOON AS I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, I TOLD THE GENTLEMAN I HAD A CHEVY EQUINOX WITH A MAJOR OIL LEAK. HE IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME IT WAS THE REAR MAIN SEAL. I ASKED HIM HOW HE KNEW THAT AND HE STATED THAT WITH THE COLD WEATHER WE HAVE BEEN HAVING THAT HE HAD A FEW OTHERS IN THE SHOP CURRENTLY THAT WERE GETTING REPAIRED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I ASKED IF THERE WAS ANY TYPE OF RECALL OR ANYTHING AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT. I CONTACTED CHEVY AND ASKED ABOUT THE ISSUE. I TRIED TO STRESS MY CONCERN WITH THE FACT THAT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SO MUCH RECENTLY WITH THE HOPES THAT THIS WOULD BE LOOKED INTO BY CHEVY. A CASE WAS IMMEDIATELY CREATED, AND I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE OFFICIALLY DIAGNOSED BY A CHEVY DEALERSHIP BEFORE ANYTHING COULD BE DONE. SO I

VEHICLE HAS 66,000 MILES ON IT AND IS A 2014. BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED. ALWAYS HAD OIL CHANGED ON TIME AND TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING ON A MORNING IT WAS -5 DEGREES OUTSIDE THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. A MINUTE LATER, THE MOTOR SHUT OFF. THE CAR STARTED BACK UP BUT WAS TOWED TO OUR MECHANICS GARAGE. OUR MECHANIC COMPLETED A DIAGNOSTIC AND RULED THE PROBLEM TO BE THE PCV/REAR SEAL. I CALLED GM MOTORS BECAUSE I SAW A GM BULLETIN STATING THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT OUR VIN WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE THE CAR'S PARTS WERE NOT MANUFACTURED IN A SPECIFIC FACTORY. I REQUESTED AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THAT MATTERS IF IT IS STILL HAPPENING TO OUR VEHICLE. GM REFUSED TO GIVE ME AN ANSWER. THEY SUGGESTED THAT I TOW MY VEHICLE TO A GM DEALERSHIP TO GET THE DIAGNOSTICS FROM THEM. I DID SO. IT COST $95. GM ESCALATED MY ISSUE WITHIN THE COMPANY. I WAITED 3 DAYS FOR AN ANSWER AS TO IF THEY WOULD HELP PAY FOR THE COST TO FIX THIS PROBLEM-WHICH THE DEALERSHIP STATED WOULD COST $1800.00. GM CALLED ME BACK AND SAID THEY CANNOT HELP AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I WILL CONTINUE TO LOOK FURTHER INTO THIS ISSUE AND FILE MORE COMPLAINTS. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS POOR AND THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT MY CASE WAS PUSHED UP TO WAS EXTREMELY RUDE AND NOT HELPFUL. I ASKED THEM TO HELP PAY FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE WHILE OUR CAR GETS FIXED AND THEY REFUSED.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN HER CAR BROKE DOWN ON A VERY VERY BUSY HIGHWAY. JUST BEFORE THE BROADWAY BRIDGE CROSSING THE MISSOURI RIVER ENTERING DOWNTOWN KANSAS CITY MO LITERALLY RIGHT BEFORE THE BRIDGE ON THE SOUTHBOUND SIDE OF 169 HIGHWAY. THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS IN THE NEGATIVES. SHE CALLED ME AND I PICKED HER UP. MIND YOU I WORK NIGHTS SO I WAS IN BED. SHE HAD TO WAIT IN A FREEZER BASICALLY UNTIL I GOT THERE. WHICH WAS ABOUT 35 MINS. HYPOTHERMIA CAN TAKE AFFECT IN THAT AMOUNT OF TIME. LUCKILY SHE HAD A BLANKET AND AN EXTRA COAT TO COVER UP WITH. I DROPPED HER OFF AND WENT BACK TO THE CAR TO WAIT ON THE TOW TRUCK. THERE IS VERY LITTLE ROOM TO PULL OFF THE ROAD WHERE IT BROKE DOWN AT. ANOTHER 10 YARDS AND IT WOULD'VE BEEN BLOCKING A LANE OF TRAFFIC ON THE BRIDGE. THE TOW TRUCK GETS THERE AND IS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY REAR ENDED BY A DISTRACTED DRIVER. HE GETS BACKED UP STARTS TO GET OUT AND IS ALMOST SIDESWIPED BY ANOTHER DRIVER. HE CALLS ANOTHER TOW TRUCK TO THE SCENE TO BLOCK TRAFFIC SO HE DOSEN'T GET HIT. FINALLY AT THE SHOP. THE MECHANIC LOOKS IT OVER AND TELLS ME THAT THE REAR MAIN SEAL HAS BLEW OUT OF THE ENGINE DUE TO A FROZEN PCV VALVE. AND THE ENGINE IS TOAST BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF METAL SHAVINGS ON THE DIPSTICK. AND DUE TO THE KNOCKING THAT THE ENGINE IS MAKING. $7000 FOR A REMANUFACTURED ENGINE INSTALLED IS THE QUOTE HE GAVE ME. A USED ENGINE WOULD BE CHEAPER BUT WE'D RUN THE RISK OF GETTING ONE THAT CONSUMES TOO MUCH OIL. SO THAT'S OUT OF THE QUESTION. TH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DECELERATE INDEPENDENTLY, THE OIL PRESSURE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PCV VALVE WAS OBSTRUCTED. THE BLOCKAGE CAUSED SIGNIFICANT PRESSURE IN THE ENGINE, WHICH CAUSED THE REAR MAIN SEAL BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION TO ALLOW OIL TO POUR FROM THE SEAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. TIM LALLY CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 24999 MILES RD, BEDFORD HEIGHTS, OH 44128, (440) 232-2000) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 9-5027280547. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPER TRANSMISSION ARM HAS BECOME DISCONNECTED FROM THE WIPER ARMS. THERE IS A RECALL ON 2013 MODELS. OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR ALSO. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY, MY WIFE PUT THE WIPERS ON, HEARD A BANG NOISE AND THE WIPERS STOPPED MOVING.

I WAS TOLD MY PCV SYSTEM HAD BUSTED AND CAUSED A OIL LEAK FROM THE REAR OF ENGINE AND CAUSED MY ENGINE TO BLOW.I WAS TOLD THAT COLD TEMPERATURES WILL MAKE THE PCV FREEZE AND BUST AND CAUSE ALL YOUR OIL TO LEAK OUT

PURCHASED A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX 2.4L ENGINE BACK IN LATE 2013 PRIOR TO A DEPLOYMENT. AFTER YEARS OF NO MAJOR ISSUES THE CAR BEGAN CONSUMING MORE OIL CONSIDERABLY AFTER 115,000 MILES. SHORTLY AFTER THIS ISSUE BEGAN THERE WAS ROUGH IDLING WITH THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. AFTER TAKING THE CAR IN FOR INSPECTION IT WAS FOUND THAT A COMMON ISSUE REGARDING THE TIMING CHAIN WAS AFFECTING THE CAR. THE TIMING CHAIN CAME LOOSE SHORTLY AFTER THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT AND HAD RENDERED THE ENGINE UNUSABLE. ON THE DRIVE TO THE MECHANIC THERE WAS ALSO MULTIPLE STALLS OF THE ENGINE WHICH POSED A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. AFTER HEARING FROM MULTIPLE OTHERS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2.4L ECOTEC ENGINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE, SMOKE APPEARED FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. MOMENTS LATER, FLAMES APPEARED UNDER THE HOOD. THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE AND EXTINGUISHED THE FLAMES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000. *TT PHOTOS ATTACHED*JB

DRIVING IN A HEAVY RAIN AT NIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY AND WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED CREATING A HAZZARD NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT ALL DRIVERS NEARBY. CHEVROLET WON'T ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIR OF THIS KNOWN ISSUE ON MY 4 YEAR OLD, 38,000 MILE CAR.

I WAS DRIVING AT 45 MPH ON A 4 LANE ROAD DURING AT NIGHT DURING A BAD RAIN STORM WHEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED SUDDENLY WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND PUT THE EMERGENCY BLINKERS ON. THIS WAS VERY SCARY AND AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. WAITED ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD UNTIL A POLICE OFFICER ARRIVED AND ESCORTED ME TO A PARKING LOT; SHE SAID IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS TO STAY ON THE SHOULDER ON SUCH A BUSY ROAD. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 75,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED AT THE DEALERS SINCE ITS PURCHASE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT WIPER ASSEMBLY AT A COST OF ABOUT $400. I ASSUMED THAT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT, SINCE THE CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD BUT THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID IT WASN'T, AND THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. IF IT WASN'T A DEFECTIVE PART, IS THIS SOMETHING I CAN EXPECT TO RECUR EVERY 4 YEARS?? I HAVE RECEIVED NO GOOD ANSWERS FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER. BUT I WENT TO THE WEB AND FOUND A COUPLE DOZEN PF REPORTS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR (HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/CHEVROLET/EQUINOX/2014/WIPER-PROBLEMS.PHP). I'VE NEVER HAD THE WIPERS JUST STOP WORKING LIKE THIS ON ANY CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED IN MY 50 YEARS OF OWNING CARS. THIS DEFECTIVE FRONT WIPER ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS A SAFETY ISSUE AND OTHER MOTORISTS WARNED OF THE DANGER.

TAKATA RECALL. ENGINE LIGHT IS ON SAYS ITS THE FLEX FUEL SENSOR RECALLS ON 2013 MODELS SO I BELIEVE ITS AN ON GOING PROBLEM AND BELIEVE IT STILL NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IT ALSO HAS A ROUGH IDLE WHEN FIRST STARTED DK IF THATS CAUSED BY THE FLEX FUEL BUT THE REMOTE START WONT WORK WITH ENGINE LIGHT ON

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN A RAIN STORM THE DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING FORCING ME TO FIND A SAFE PATH OFF THE ROAD AND PULL OVER UNTIL THE STORM STOPPED. UPON INSPECTION IT SEEMS THE BALL JOINT POPPED OFF THE PLASTIC BUSHING CAUSING THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER TO NOT MOVE.

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT 2 AM IN THE RAIN AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED CAUSING COMPLETE LOSS OF VISIBILITY ON THE HIGHWAY. ALMOST LOST CONTROL AND HAD TO PULL OVER. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT GM WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR ON MY 4 YEAR OLD, 38,000 MILE SUV.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING STRANGE SOUNDS AND THEN THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE ENGINE QUIT OPERATING. AFTER PULLING OUT THE ENGINE OIL DIP STICK, NO OIL WAS INDICATED. ON THE REAR DECK LID THERE WAS A OILY FILM.

MY WIPERS QUIT WORKING DRIVING HOME FROM WORK YESTERDAY. IT WAS RAINING PRETTY HARD! THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS HURT. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION THE TRANSMISSION BUSHING HAS RUSTED AWAY COMPLETELY CAUSING MY WIPERS TO QUIT WORKING ALTOGETHER

AIR STOPPED BLOWING OUT OF DEFROSTER VENTS ONLY BLOWING OUT OF FRONT VENTS AND FLOOR. COULD NOT CONTROL THIS BY SWITCHES. POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE HAD DEFROSTER BEEN NEEDED WHILE DRIVING. OUT OF WARRANTY, HAPPENED AT APPROXIMENTY 66000 MILES. WAS TOLD ACTUATOR FAILED.
