2015 Chevrolet Equinox complaints

SERVICE AIRBAG DASH LIGHT/ALARM COMES ON EVERY 10 SECONDS WHETHER SOMEONE IS IN THE SEAT OR NOT. WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE PRESENCE DETECTOR AND MODULE.

WIPER BLADES STOPPED WORKING.

THE FRONT WINDOW DEFROSTER DOES NOT BLOW ANY AIR, WHICH CAUSES THE INSIDE TO FOG OVER. ALSO THE OUTSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD FREEZES CAUSING EXTREME VISIBILITY LOSS. THE DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK AT ALL REGARDLESS IF I AM DRIVING OR PARKED. I REVIEWED MAY OTHERS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE FOR MANY DIFFERENT YEAR EQUINOX. THERE REALLY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS CAUSING DEATH.

THE CAR WAS PARKED (THANK GOD) AND WHEN THE WIPERS WERE TURNED ON, THEY NO LONGER WORKED. JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 9 DAYS AGO! 54K ON IT. I TOOK IT APART AND FOUND THE WIPER TRANSMISSION HAD FALLEN APART!

I DRIVE MY CAR EVERYDAY. IT HAS SEAT HEATERS IN THE FRONT SEATS. I HAVE CLOTH SEATS. I WAS NOTICING THAT WHENEVER I TURNED MY SEAT WARMER ON, IT WAS GETTING REALLY HOT IN ONE SPECIFIC PLACE AND MADE MY LEG BURN. ONE DAY, I LOOKED AT MY LEG AFTER I GOT OUT AND THERE WAS A SMALL BURN ON MY LEG. I LOOKED AT THE SEAT AND THERE WAS A SMALL BURN MARK/ HOLE THROUGH MY SEAT. I DO NOT TURN THE HEATERS ON ANYMORE, OBVIOUSLY. HOWEVER, SOMETIMES IT COMES ON ON ITS OWN AND GETS SUPER HOT AND I CAN'T TURN IT OFF. SO, I HAD TO START DRIVING WITH A BLANKET UNDER ME SO I DIDN'T GET BURNED. I WAS SCARED THE BLANKET WAS GOING TO CATCH FIRE, SO I TOOK IT TO A SHOP TO GET LOOKED AT. THEY SAID IT HAD SHORT CURCUITED AND THAT I SHOULD CHECK TO SEE IF THE SEATS HAD BEEN RECALLED. I CALLED CHEVERLET AND ALL THEY TOLD ME WAS THAT THERE WAS NOT A RECALL AND BASICALLY SAID 'THAT SUCKS'. I DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE AND I ALSO DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR THAT I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX IT. CHEVY DIDN'T EVEN OFFER TO FILE A REPORT ABOUT MY INCIDENT.

SNOWSTORM ON 1/12/2019, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND THE WIPERS JUST STOPPED WORKING, SHE HAD TO TRY TO PULL OVER AND COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING.

IT WAS RAINING AND MY WIPERS WERE SET ON THE AUTOMATIC SETTING WHERE THEY WOULD WORK ABOUT EVERY 20-30 SECONDS. THEY STOPPED WORKING IN MID WIPE!! THE MISTER IS STILL FUNCTIONAL BECAUSE I CAN HEAR IT BUT THE WIPERS ARE NOT. I HAVE BEEN READING THAT THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE MODEL OF VEHICLE AND THE PART HAS BEEN RECALLED IN CANADA. WHY NOT HERE???? I LOST ALL VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT!!! I WAS SCARED TO DEATH AND DROVE THE CAR HOME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED. WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR MADE A NOISE THAT SOUNDED AS IF THE MOTOR WAS TRYING TO ENGAGE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, BIT NEVER DID. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 9-4970143711. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

TAKATA RECALL: MY CAR WAS INVOLVED IN A 3 CAR CRASH AT THE CORNER OF 28TH AVE N AND 4TH ST. N ON DECEMBER 14, 2018. I WAS IN THE MEDIAN WAITING TO CROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN I PERCEIVED THE LANES WERE CLEAR AND PROCEEDED TO CROSS THE ROAD. I WAS T-BONED BY AN ONCOMING DODGE AVENGER, INTO THE FRONT END OF A JEEP WRANGLER AND PUSHED INTO A STOP SIGN. MY AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY BUT THE AVENGER'S PASSENGER AND DRIVER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.I WAS TAKEN TO BAYFRONT ER BY AMBULANCE AND ADMITTED TO TRAUMA DEPARTMENT SUFFERING A STERNUM FRACTURE AND COMPRESSED CHEST INJURIES. MY LEFT HAND ALSO SUFFERED A POSSIBLE FRACTURE. THE POLICE REPORT IS NOT FACTUAL. IT STATES MY AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED BUT FROM THE PICTURE YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THEY WERE NOT AND THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER WILL TESTIFY THAT THEY WERE NOT DEPLOYED.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE (GOING 75MPH) IN MODERATE RAIN WHEN SUDDENLY OUR WINDSHIELD WIPERS OVER EXTENDED AND WOULD NO LONGER ENGAGE. WE HAD TO STOP BECAUSE WE COULDN'T SEE. WE HAD TO MAKE OUR WAY OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TO A REPAIR SHOP TO GET THEM 'RIGGED' TO GET US BACK ON THE ROAD.

ON THE EVENING OF DECEMBER 22ND, 2018 DURING HEAVY RAIN DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60MPH ON THE FREEWAY (SOUTH ON I5 IN EVERETT, WA), THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED FUNCTIONING IN MID STROKE. WITH EXTREMELY POOR VISIBILITY, WE MANAGED TO PULL THE VEHICLE OFF THE FREEWAY WE SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT HOPING THIS WOULD RESET THE WIPERS, BUT THEY CONTINUED TO NOT FUNCTION. THE WIPER MOTOR CAN BE HEARD FUNCTIONING, HOWEVER, THE WIPER ARMS FAIL TO MOVE. WE WILL BE TAKING IT TO OUR DEALER FOR SERVICE, BUT SUSPECT THE BUSHINGS ON THE TRANSMISSION HAVE FAILED.

CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING, WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC CAR WILL STALL WHEN BRAKE IS RELEASED AND WILL ALSO STALL WHILE PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR. STALLS WHILE IN DRIVE AND REVERSE.

I WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY IN HEAVY RAIN WHEN SUDDENLY THE PASSENGER-SIDE WIPER STARTED MOVING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AS THE DRIVER-SIDE WIPER. IT FINALLY STOPPED DEAD AND I ONLY HAD THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER BUT THE BLADE WAS BADLY DAMAGED WHEN THEY WERE HITTING ONE ANOTHER SO I HAD VERY LIMITED VISION. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION.

DURING A SNOW STORM IN VIRGINIA 12/09/2018 MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING STOPPED WORKING. I HAD TO DRIVE REMAINDER OF THE 2 HOUR DRIVE HOME DURING A SNOW STORM, AT NIGHT IN TREACHEROUS CONDITIONS WITH NO WINDSHIELD WIPERS. I HAD TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP (TAPPAHANNOCK CHEVROLET) REPLACE THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD WIPER TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY (WITH MOTOR) SIMPLY BECAUSE A PLASTIC TRANSMISSION ARM LOCK (POORLY DESIGNED PLASTIC BUTTON/BUSHING BROKE. TOTAL COST WAS $357.40 DUE TO A LOUSY DESIGN!

VEHICLE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 70 MPH. HEAVY RAIN GOING ON WITH WINDSHIELD WIPERS GOING ON. SUDDENLY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED AND VISIBILITY WAS MINIMAL. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO FIND THE EMERGENCY SHOULDER OF FREEWAY. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED SINCE IT COULD NOT BE DRIVEN IN THE RAIN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED OPERATING WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

LAST SATURDAY AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE TOLLWAY, MY WIPERS JUST STOPPED WORKING. IT WAS POURING RAIN. TALK ABOUT BEING SCARED. I MANAGED TO GET TO THE NEXT EXIT AND GET OFF THE TOLLWAY AND PULL OVER ON A SIDE STREET. I HAD A SWEAT SHIRT IN THE CAR AND HAD TO SAFELY PULL OVER AT TIMES EVERY 3 BLOCKS TO CLEAR THE WINDOW. SOMETIMES THE RAIN SLOWED AND I COULD GO A LITTLE FURTHER DOWN SIDE STREETS. I MADE IT TO A GAS STATION WITH OF COURSE NO MECHANIC AND LOCATED THE WIPER FUSE AND SWITCHED THE REAR CAMERA FUSE WITH IT (SAME W), BUT IT STILL DIDN'T WORK. I BOUGHT PAPER TOWELS AND AGAIN KEPT STOPPING TO WIPE THE WINDOW. REALLY DANGEROUS AND SCARY. MIRACULOUSLY, ABOUT HALF WAY TO HOME FROM THERE IT STOPPED RAINING AND I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME. RESEARCH SHOWS THIS WIPER PROBLEM IS A RECALL IN CANADA. IT SHOULD BE HERE, TOO. IT COST $595 TO REPAIR.

MY 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX HAS DEVELOPED A SPONGEY BRAKE PEDAL,THE CAR DOES STOP BUT THE PEDAL IS SPONGEY. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT GM HAS A BIGGER PROBLEM WITH VEHICLES THAT ARE COVERED UNDER EXISTING RECALL?

JULY 25, 2018 WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN A HEAVY RAINSTORM FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS MOTOR WENT OUT COMPLETELY I HAD 0 VISIBILITY I WAS STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY FOR HOURS UNTIL THE RAIN STOPPED. IT WAS REPAIRED THE NEXT DAY THEY STATED WATER HAD GOTTEN INTO THE LINKAGE AND UPPER TRANSMISSION BOX FOR THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ALSO MATERIAL USED TO MAKE THE PARTS ARE NOT OF GOOD QUALITY. NOVEMBER 15, 2018 NOW THREE MONTHS LATER DURING A MAJOR SNOW AND ICE STORM THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM ONLY THIS TIME I WAS ON A CITY STREET DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED COMPLETELY OFF WITHOUT WARNING.

UNEXCEPTIONABLE.. CAR WAS IN MOTION, ON THE STREETS, HIGHWAY S. CARS BLOWING FOR ME TO PULL OFF. HAVE TO DRIVE WITH FLASHER TO KEEP CARS BACK TO KEEP FROM GETTING REAR ENDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SEIZED. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER ARMS PULLED AWAY FROM THE WINDSHIELD AND THE WINDSHIELD MOTOR REMAINED ACTIVATED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 8-4808902384. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

I EAS FRIVONG 2 PASSENGERS FOR LYFT AND IT STARTED RAINING VERY HARD.I TURNED ON MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON THE FASTEST SETTING BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE WHERE I WAS GOING AND I HEARED THE WIPERS BANGING HARD AS THEY WERE WIPING THE RAIN AWAY SO I CAN SEE THE ROAD WHEN SUDDENLY MY WIPERS STOPPED EN ROUTE TO MY FIRST ADDRESS.MY FIRST CLIENT LIVED 10 MINUTES AWAY IN RUSH HOUR BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC.I GOT SO SCARED AND MY CLIENTS WERE EVEN MORE SCARED BECAUSE I HAD TO DRIVE THEM HOME WITH MY HEAD STICKING OUT OF THE WINDOW.AFTER DROPPING THEM OFF SAFELY IN A TERRIBLE RAIN STORM MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING.WHEN I LOOKED INTO THEM IT WAS MY WIPER MOTOR AND LINKAGE THAT BROKE OFF AND STOPPED THEM FROM WIPING THE HEAVY RAIN.LUCKY I HAVE SOME KNOWLEDGE WITH THIS PART BECAUSE IT HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE IN A DIFFERENT VEHICLE,SO I BOUGHT A USED SET FROM THE JUNK YARD TO PUT ON MY NEW CAR.BUT I WOULD LIKE FOR A BRAND NEW SET PUT IN MY VEHICLE BEFORE THE USED ONE BREAKS ON ME.I ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH AN AIR CONDITIONING/HEAT PART THAT BROKE INSIDE THE SAME VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN IN MY 2015 EQUINOX ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING CREATING AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS CONDITION. NEEDED TO HAVE THE WIPER TRANSMISSION REPLACED BY THE DEALER AT A COST $380.00.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY 2 WEEKS AGO IN THE RAIN, MY DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE GOING BACK AND FORTH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER GOT STUCK AND STOPPED WORKING. I ENDED UP GETTING IT FIXED AND IT WAS $300 TO REPAIR. I ALSO SAW AN ARTICLE ABOUT HOW THIS WAS COMMON ON OLDER MODELS OF THE SAME CAR. UNFORTUNATELY SINCE I HAVE A 2015, I JUST MISSED THE RECALL NOTICE, EVEN THOUGH I APPARENTLY HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH MINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO FUNCTION DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT HAD TO DRIVE EXTREMELY SLOWLY AND PARKED THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE FAILURE. SHOTTENKIRK CHEVROLET (755 W HICKMAN RD, WAUKEE, IA 50263, 1-(877) 291-9490) INSPECTED THAT THE CHAIN THAT LINKED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO THE MOTOR WAS FRACTURED. THE CHAIN WAS REPLACED. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V582000 (VISIBILITY); HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME FAILURE AS THE RECALL. THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,800.

ENGINE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HAVE CODES CHECKED IT SHOWED CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, SO HAD THAT REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AFTER THAT WAS REPLACED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED ON AGAIN. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TO BE TOLD THAT THE CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHICH COST ME ABOUT $350.00. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CHEVY EQUINOX'S AND THEY NEED TO BE RECALLED FOR IT BECAUSE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING AND YOUR VEHICLE JUST STOPS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING IN A RAIN STORM IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A SUNDAY NIGHT WITH A THREE (3) HOUR DRIVE AHEAD OF ME. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED, I HAVE SEEN THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM IN THE PASS WITH THE EQUINOX AND IT STILL THE SAME PROBLEM WITH WINDSHIELD WIPERS TODAY. I'M A EXPERIENCED DRIVER AND AT 72 YEARS OF AGE MY THOUGH WAS OF A INEXPERIENCED DRIVER AND WHAT THEIR REACTION WOULD BE IN THE SAME SCENARIO. I EXPLAINED THIS TO A GM REP. AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER, THAT I WILL DO AT MY EXPENSE. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED, IF THIS HAD HAPPENED IN 1956 IT WOULD BE REPAIRED AND NOT A ISSUE NEXT YEAR

TAKATA RECALL I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR WRECK ON A CITY STREET. MY CAR WAS TOTALED AND NOT EVEN ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. IT WAS A FRONT END COLLISION. I WAS TRAVELING EAST ABOUT 20-25 MILES PER HOUR AND S VEHICLE RAN A STOP SIGN GOING EXCESSIVELY FAST. I HIT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF HER VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE SPUN AROUND 90 DEGREES AND ENDED UP IN A DITCH HITTING A STOP SIGN ON DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. FRONT OF MY EQUINOX WAS TOTALED.

WITHIN THE PAST YEAR I HAVE LOST ALL SOUND IN MY 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX THREE TIMES. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN JUNE 2017, THE SECOND TIME WAS OCTOBER 2018. THE FIRST TWO TIMES I WAS ABLE TO GET AN UPDATE THROUGH OUR LOCAL DEALER. HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD THAT IF HAPPENED AGAIN, I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE RADIO (AND RELATED COMPONENTS). THIS NOT ONLY AFFECTS THE RADIO, BUT ALL SOUND, BLINKERS, LANE DEPARTURE AND CRASH ALERT. PROOF OF SERVICE CAN BE PROVIDED IF REQUIRED.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY DURING A HEAVY RAIN STORM I HAD MY WIPERS RUNNING AT THE MEDIUM INTERVAL AND THEY COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. I HAD TO PULL OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE, BETWEEN LARGE ORANGE BARRELS, AND WAIT FOR THE RAIN TO SUBSIDE. I ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE THE FUSES AND THIS WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. I JUST GOT THE DIAGNOSTIC BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IT WILL COST $355.00. MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 55,000 MILES ON IT. I'M HOPING THAT IT WILL BE COVERED BY WARRANTY, ESPECIALLY SINCE A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED AND I SEE OVER 20 OTHER REPORTS OF THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENING. IT WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND TURNED A 4 HOUR DRIVE INTO A 7.5 HOUR DRIVE BECAUSE I HAD TO STOP REPEATEDLY WHEN THE RAIN PICKED UP.

I PUMPED GAS THIS AM, WAS SITTING AT A LIGHT CAR CUT OFF AND TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. NOW STILL ON WANT GO OFF.

WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN ON THE EVENING OF THE 26TH OF OCTOBER 2018. FUSES HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND THOUGH GOOD REPLACED. THERE IS A HUM WHEN YOU TURN THE WIPERS ON. THIS ONLY APPLIES TO THE FRONT WIPERS, THE REAR WORKS FINE. DANGEROUS AS IT WAS ALMOST DARK AND I HAD TO DRIVE HOME SLOWLY AND OUT THE CAR IN THE GARAGE. SEEMS THIS IS A RECURRENT PROBLEM WITH THE EQUINOX AS I FOUND OUT IN RESEARCH. WHEN IS SOMETHING GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS? BEFORE OR AFTER A FATALITY?

THE WIPER BLADES STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN A THUNDERSTORM. I WAS UNABLE TO SEE THROUGH MY FRONT WINDSHIELD. I WAS ABLE TO PULL ON THE SIDE AND WAIT UNTIL MY VISIBILITY WAS CLEAR TO PROCEED ON MY ROUTE.

WITH OUT WARNING MY WIFES CAR WENT INTO ENGINE POWER FAILURE MODE. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO MORE THEN 10 MPH. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FOUR QUARTS LOW OF ITS MOTOR OIL. THEY THEN ASKED ME FOR ALL THE SERVICE RECORDS I HAD TO ESTABLISH A HISTORY. THEY HAD THE OIL CHANGES THAT I DID FROM THE DEALER, ONE FROM A WELL KNOW AUTO MERCHANDISER AND BECAUSE I DID THE MOST RECENT ONE MYSELF, THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT THAT ONE BECAUSE THERE IS NO DOCUMENTATION OF ME DOING IT AND HENCE THE VEHICLES POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WILL NOT BE HONORED. THE CAR IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD AND HAS 75000 MILES ON IT. NO INDICATION OF ANY ISSUES WERE PRESENT AT ANYTIME WITH THIS VEHICLE.

FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING WHILE DRIVING IN HARD RAIN ON A FREEWAY. WAS TOLD THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CHEVY EQUINOX AND RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE IN CANADA FOR SAME ISSUE. HAVE TO REPLACE BUSHINGS.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE HOME I TURNED ON WIPER BLADES TO CLEAN LIGHT RAIN FROM FRONT WINDSHIELD AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER BLADE FAILED TO WORK. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A COUNTY/STATE ROAD IT WAS DARK OUT. ALSO UPON ARRIVING HOME WHILE STATIONARY IN MY GARAGE I AGAIN TRIED WIPERS, PASSENGER SIDE WIPER AGAIN, FAILED TO WORK.

WAS DRIVING UP RAMP TO GET ONTO HIGHWAY WHEN CAR ACCELERATED TO 80 MPH WITHOUT MY FOOT ON GAS PEDAL. I TURNED THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF AND I PRESSED ON BREAK PEDAL BUT THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO SLOW DOWN. I PUSHED HARDER TO GET CAR DOWN TO 65 AND THEN RELEASED BREAK AND IT ACCELERATED TO 85 MPH. I THEN PUT BOTH FEET ON BREAK PEDAL AND PUSHED AS HARD AS I COULD AT THAT POINT I KEPT BOTH FEET ON BREAK PEDAL UNTIL I GOT CAR OFF THE ROAD AND STOPPED AT THAT TIME I PUT CAR IN PARK. THE ENGINE HAD SLOWED DOWN AND I TURNED THE KEY OFF. I THEN TURNED THE KEY TO ACCESSORY PUSHED CRUISE CONTROL ON AND THEN BACK OFF. SHUT KEY IN OFF POSITION THEN STARTED THE CAR AND HAVE NOT USED THE CRUISE SINCE. ALL I CAN SAY IS THANK THE LORD THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC OR IT WOULD HAVE BE A TRAGEDY.

WHEN SETTING DOWN IN MY CAR THE SET CLOSE UP ON YOU I HAVE TO STOP AND PUSH THE BUTTON ON THE SIDE OF THE SEAT THIS HAPPENS MOST OF THE TIME I GET INTO MY CAR

THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF A RAIN STORM. THE MOTOR STILL WORKS AND THE FUSES AWARE GOOD. IT STOPPED ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE VEHICLE IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION. ALMOST CAUSING ME TO CRASH.

WIPER LINKAGE ARM BROKE WHEN DRIVING ON ROAD. MADE WIPER INOPERABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS INDEPENDENTLY STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THE FAILURE PREVENTED THE CONTACT FROM VIEWING THE ROAD CLEARLY. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAITED UNTIL THE RAIN STOPPED BEFORE RESUMING DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DAVID MAUS CHEVROLET (972 TOWNE CENTER BLVD, SANFORD, FL 32771, (407) 641-4198) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,950.

THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT GOES ON EVERY FEW SECONDS. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF ANYONE IS IN THE SEAT OR IT IS EMPTY. IT JUST STARTED OUT OF THE BLUE AND I AM READING THAT OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING.

ON 9/11/18 I WAS DRIVING THRU AN INTERSECTION AND AND VAN PULLED IN FRONT OF ME CASUING ME TO BRAKE AND MY CAR SHUT OFF. STEERING WHEEL LOCKED SO I COULDN'T PULL OFF THE ROAD. IT TOOK 2 TRIES TO RE-START MY CAR AND WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND PRESSED ON THE GAS IT STARTED SPUTTERING. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE CAR HAS SHUT OFF AS I WAS DRIVING. PREVIOUSLY WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THAT SAID THAT NO CODES SHOWED UP SO THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO.

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH IN A RAIN STORM, THE WIPERS WENT CLEAR LEFT AND STOPPED WORKING, I COULD NOT SEE TO CROSS OVER AND PULL OFF AND ALMOST HIT CAR IN FRONT. WIPER MOTOR RUNNING, APPEARS TO BE BROKEN LINKAGE ARM. THIS PROBLEM WAS RECALLED ON SAME YEAR AND MODEL IN CANADA, WHY NOT US

EXTREME DESIGN FLAWS. REAR-SIDE/CORNER VIEW WINDOWS ARE TOO SMALL & LOCATION IS OF NO HELP VISUALLY. BACK SEAT HEAD RESTS ARE NON-REMOVABLE & BLOCK VIEW OF MERGING TRAFFIC. WE MUST FOLD DOWN BACK SEATS FOR SAFETY. RARELY DO WE CARRY BACK SEAT PASSENGERS; BACK SEAT HEAD RESTS SHOULD BE REMOVABLE.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG PANEL HAS BEEN DETACHING ITSELF. POPPING IT BACK IN BUT IT CONTINUES TO FALL OFF ON ONE END. AFRAID IT MIGHT GO OFF AT RANDOM WHEN SOMEONE SITTING IN PASSENGER SEAT.

WHILE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH, DURING A TERRIBLE RAIN STORM, THE WIPERS JUST STOPPED. THANKFULLY, WE WERE SLOWING BECAUSE OF THE TORRENT OF RAIN AND WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF SAFELY AND CHECKED THE FUSES BUT THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM WE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A RECALL IN CANADA FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WHY NOT THE US?

WHILE DRIVING IN A RAIN STORM, RURAL, WINDING 2 LANE, SPEED 45MPH, WIPERS ON HIGH SPEED, BLADES SUDDENLY STOPPED IN UPRIGHT POSITION. NO VISIBILITY. HAD TO PULL TO SHOULDER AND WAIT OUT THE RAIN. FUSE GOOD. REAR WIPER WORKING. FRONT WIPER MOTOR MAKING SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO WORK. WAS TOLD AT AUTO PARTS STORE THAT SOME CONNECTION/GEAR INSIDE THE MOTOR LIKELY BUSTED. WOULD NEED A NEW WIPER MOTOR. DANGEROUS. LUCKY I WAS NOT ON A LARGE, BUSY FREEWAY AT THE TIME. THESE MOTORS SHOULD BE RECALLED.
