2015 Chevrolet Equinox complaints

A/C VENTS HAVE BEEN SPEWING SHINY WHITE FLAKES THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 2 1/2 YEARS WHICH THE DEALER DID NOT INVESTIGATE TO FIND THE THEIR SOURCE NOR DID THEY REPAIR THE VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY SAYING THE FLAKES WERE DUST OR POLLEN. I HAD SAMPLES OF THE FLAKES ANALYZED BY ANALYTICS CORP. OF ASHLAND, VA AND THE TESTS SHOWED A PLETHORA OF ELEMENTS TO INCLUDE ONES THAT ARE CONSIDERED TOXIC. I PUT A CLAIM IN WITH GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE THE DEALER REPLACE THE EVAPORATOR CORE ID I SIGN A RELEASE/NON DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT GIVING UP ALL FUTURE RIGHTS AND CLAIMS. HOWEVER, I DON'T IF THE EVAPORATOR CORE IS THE SOURCE OF THESE TOXIC METALS.

TAKATA INFLATORS PASSENGER AIR BAG SERVICE LIGHT IS ON. THIS HAS BEEN DINGING EVERY MILE TO ALERT US SINCE JULY 18, 2018. IT STARTED ON1-40 NEAR GATLINGBURG, TN. WE LISTENED TO THE DING DING DING ALL THE WAY HOME TO FRANKLIN, OH - OVER 6 STRAIGHT HOURS AND ARE STILL LISTENING TO THE DING DING DING EVERYTIME WE DRIVE THIS EQUINOX. TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS MODEL AND YEAR BUT WE DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE. WARRANTY EXPIRED BY A FEW WEEKS. THIS IS COSTING US OVER $800 TO HAVE IT REPLACED. WE FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER. WE'VE BEEN DRIVING IT SINCE THE ALERT STARTED JULY 18TH, 2018. TOOK US TWO WEEKS TO GET INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND NOW WE'RE WAITING FOR THE PART TO COME IN. WE ARE DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT COULD POSSIBLE BE DANGEROUS. CONTACTED CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WERE TOLD THEY COULD NOT HELP US AND CHEVROLET WOULD NOT BE PAYING TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPLACED BECAUSE OUR VIN # WAS NOT ON THE RECALL. NO PROBLEM WITH OUR DEALERSHIP - STILL WAITING ON THE PART. PLEASE LET US KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE RECALL AND WHY WE WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THANKS

TRAVELING BACK HOME FROM OUT OF STATE, DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH, A RAINSTORM BEGAN. THE FRONT WIPERS WORK FOR ABOUT A MINUTE THEN COMPLETELY QUIT IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION.

WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR A YEAR AGO AFTER ABOUT 4 MONTHS IN I STARTED TO NOTICE A NOISE EVERY TIME I TURNED LEFT. IT WAS A SMALL NOISE SO I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS AND THERE ARE NONE. NOW IT IS MORE NOTICABLE BUT THE CAR IS DRIVING FINE UNLESS I MAKE A LEFT TURN IT'S LIKE A SLIGHT CLICKING NOISE. HAS THERE BEEN ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING BECAUSE THE CAR SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS. I HAVE ONLY HAD IT A YEAR. OTHER THAN THIS ISSUE THE CAR RUNS GREAT.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS - FRONT, COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. DEALERSHIP SAID AND REPLACED WIPER MODULE, 84241847:SL-N (10150-CT). THIS WAS IN A RECALL FOR THE EQUINOX. DEALERSHIP SAID OUR CAR WAS NOT RECALLED. ALSO, CAR WAS PRODUCED IN THEIR CANADIAN PLANT WHERE THEY WERE HAVING ISSUES WITH SAME. FOUND IT IRONIC AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND EXPRESSED THAT TO GM WHEN CUSTOMER SERVICE CALLED & OFFERED $100.

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND STARTED TO RAIN. TURNED ON WIPERS AND THEY WORKED FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN HEARD A POP AND THEY GOT STUCK IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. PULLED OVER IN THE RAIN. OPENED UP THE COVER AND SEE THAT THE LINKAGE FOR THE WIPERS IS CORRODED AND BROKEN. THIS CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD. WENT TO LOOK UP THE PART WHEN I GOT HOME AND SEE THERE IS A RECALL IN CANADA! WHY JUST CANADA? SAFETY IN THE USA DOESN'T MATTER? COME ON CHEVROLET, REALLY?

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY. FOUND THAT RODENTS HAD EATEN THROUGH WIRE TO OXYGEN SENSOR CAUSING IT TO ARCH. TOLD US THIS WAS THE SECOND VEHICLE THEY HAD REPAIRED WITH THIS DAMAGE YESTERDAY. SUSPICION THAT NON-PETROLEUM BASED WIRE CAUSING RODENTS TO EAT WIRES. ARCHING CAN CAUSE FIRES. WE ARE SENIOR CITIZENS ON FIXED INCOME. HAD BOUGHT EXTENDED WARRANTY TO PROTECT US FROM UNEXPECTED REPAIRS, BUT WERE TOLD THIS WAS NOT COVERED. IF THEY ARE MANUFACTURING WIRE COVERING IN SOMETHING LIKE SOY OIL THAT ATTRACTS RODENTS, HOW CAN WE BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT IN THIS INCIDENT EXCEPT IN THE POCKETBOOK. SOMEONE ELSE MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY.

ENGINE STALLED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. RESTARTED AFTER TURNING IGNITION OFF AND ON. CAR KEPT HESITATING EVERY TIME FROM BRAKE TO GAS WHEN TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD FROM STOPPED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH CODE P0010. DEALER KEPT IT FOR 4 DAYS AND COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM, NO CHARGE. 10 DAYS LATE THE ISSUE RETURNED. CAR STALLED 4 TIMES IN A FEW MILES OF STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. SEEMS TO ONLY HAPPEN AFTER CAR SITS IDLING IN TRAFFIC. MOVE FOOT FROM BRAKE TO GAS AND ENGINE DIES. TAKING TO THE DEALER AGAIN NEXT BUSINESS DAY. AFTER GOOGLE SEARCHES IT APPEARS THAT THE 'CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR SOLENOID VALVE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HOPE THE DEALER HAS GOOGLE SEARCH

THE VEHICLE WAS PUSHED TO THE ROAD SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE BECAUSE THE CONTACT HAD THE OIL CHANGED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC RATHER THAN A GM DEALER, WHICH VOIDED THE WARRANTY. THE CONTACT CALLED BOB GRIMM CHEVROLET (2271 S MAIN ST, MORTON, IL 61550), BUT HAD NOT HEARD BACK. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

ABOUT 4-6 MONTHS AGO, MY CAR STARTED TO JOLT EVERY NOW AND AGAIN, WHILE DRIVING IT, BUT IT NEVER SHUT OFF. LAST WEEK, WHEN I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, THE CAR DIED WHEN I SHIFTED IT INTO DRIVE TO LEAVE. IT TOOK A WHILE TO TURN BACK ON, BUT DID START UP AGAIN. ON MY WAY HOME, IT SHUT OFF AGAIN WHILE IN MOTION. ONCE I GOT HOME, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POPPED ON AND I DID NOT DRIVE IT AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. I WENT TO WASH IT, AS I DO WEEKLY, AND FILL UP THE GAS TANK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED OFF. THE NEXT MORNING, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND THE CAR CUT OFF AGAIN WHILE IN MOTION. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO GET IT RESTARTED, I DROVE IT TO THE CLOSEST MECHANIC IMMEDIATELY. THEY ATTEMPTED TO LOOK AT THE CAR AND DIAGNOSE IT FOR THE GREATER PART OF THE DAY. THE MACHINE WAS READING A CAM SHAFT ISSUE; HOWEVER, WHEN THEY INSPECTED IT, THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH IT. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS ISSUE WITH THE CHEVY EQUINOX SEVERAL TIMES AND THAT CHANGING THE INTAKE/OUTTAKE VALVES GIVES A TEMPORARY RESOLVE; HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM TYPICALLY COMES DOWN TO THE ENGINE/MOTOR HAVING TO BE REPLACED, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY A $6000 REPAIR BILL, OR TAKE A COMPLETE LOSS ON THE CAR., BECAUSE METAL SHARDS AND OTHER THINGS GET TRAPPED IN THE ENGINE/MOTOR THAT CAN'T BE REMOVED. THEY DID REPLACE THE VALVES, WHICH COST ME $400+, TOLD ME TO KEEP DOING WHAT I DO, IN TERMS OF KEEPING MAINTENANCE UP, AND HOPE THAT SOMETHING IS DONE BEFORE THE ENGINE/MOTOR NEEDS REPLACING. I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR MY

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE A YEAR AGO. A LITTLE OVER A MONTH AGO I NOTICED THAT DRIVING AT NIGHT IS DANGEROUS. IT USED TO LIGHT THE ROADWAY GREAT, NOW I CAN HARDLY SEE 2 CARS AHEAD OF ME. AND ON THE SIDES EVERYTHING IS DARK. I MADE NUMEROUS TRIPS TO DEALERSHIP WHO INSISTS IT IS WORKING OK AND NOTHING IS WRONG. THEY REFUSE DEAL WITH MY CAR. I ALSO CONTACTED GM ON THIS. ALSO I BROUGHT IT TO DEALERSHIPS ATTENTION THAT THE LIGHTS GO DIM WHEN STARTING. INSIDE AND OUT. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I'M NOT ALONE I HAVE READ NUMEROUS REPORTS ON PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD TO GET A SECOND OPINION FROM ANOTHER SOURCE. THE PROBLEM IS NOBODY WHATS TO WAIT AROUND UNTIL DARK TO SEE WHAT I'M NOT SEEING...THE ROAD ! I ASKED MY DEALSHIP I PURCHASED TOP PLEASE GO WITH ME, THEY GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND. GUY GAVE ME LITERALLY FIVE MINUTES., WAS NOT TOTALLY DARK, BUT HE DID SEE SOMETHING. OH YES THEY SAID THEY ADJUSTED LIGHTS, AND THEY SAID THEY CHANGED 1 LIGHT BULB IN EACH HEADLIGHT..AND SAID THEY ADJUSTED THEM., AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO SEE MY CAR BACK !! REAL PROFESSIONAL ! RIGHT ? NOTHING CHANGED. THAT IS WHY I TRULY BELIEVE THEY NEED TO BE RECALLED. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CANNOT FIX. SO I'M PAYING FOR A CAR THAT I CAN ONLY DRIVE AT NIGHT. I'M TRYING TO FIND A PLEASE . WHERE I AN TRUST TO BRING MY CAR. REALLY BAD. I HAVE A PAPER TRAIL ON MY VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP, DEFINATELY NOT TRUST WORTHY. YOU KNOW ITS BAD WHEN YOU HAVE THE MANAGER OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TELL ME HIS W

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DROVE TO A GAS STATION AND WAITED FOR THE RAIN TO STOP BEFORE DRIVING HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DENOOYER CHEVROLET (58000 STADIUM DR, KALAMAZOO, MI) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. THE SPECIFICS OF THE DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR WERE NOT DISCLOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,550.

SUNROOF PROBLEMS, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. IT WAS A NICE DAY ABOUT 73 DEGREES WITH NOBODY AROUND THE VEHICLE AND SUDDENLY I HEARD A LOUD NOISE (SOUNDED LIKE A SHOTGUN GOING OFF). I INVESTIGATED BY OPENING THE SUNROOF SUNSHADE AND COULD SEE THE SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED UPWARDS. I CONTINUED ABOUT A MILE AND EXITED OFF INTERSTATE AND LOOKED AT THE SUNROOF FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE EQUINOX AND YOU COULD HEAR IT CONTINUING TO CRACK. I DECIDED AT THAT POINT TO TAKE A SECONDARY ROAD HOME ABOUT 4 MILES AND LOST A PIECE OF THE SUNROOF BEFORE I GOT BACK HOME. I TURNED THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER AND OF COURSE THEY STATED IT HAD TO BE AN IMPACT. I AM SURE THERE WAS NO IMPACT, THIS SUN ROOF EXPLODED UPWARDS. THERE NEED TO BE SOME TYPE OF POLY GLASS IN THIS TYPE OF ROOF TO PREVENT SHATTERED GLASS FROM FLYING OFF AND HITTING OTHER VEHICLES AND TO PROTECT THE OCCUPANTS FROM DANGER.

I PARKED MY CAR ON MONDAY NIGHT AND HEARD A RATTLING NOISE AND THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS KNOCKING. I TURNED IT ON AND OFF AND IT STARTED AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY I GET IN TO TAKE MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN TO SCHOOL AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START. I CALLED THE DEALER AND HAD THE CAR TOWED AND THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE. THE VEHICLE HAS 58,352 MILES SO IT AS FAR I KNOW IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AS I HAVE LESS THAT 100,000 MILES AND ITS ONLY 3 YRS OLD SINCE I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. WELL GM WILL NOT COVER THE MOTOR BECAUSE I DIDN'T TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE OIL CHANGES DONE. SINCE THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF THE OIL CHANGES DESPITE THAT FACT THAT I DID THEM EVERY 3000 MILES AS RECOMMENDED THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME A NEW MOTOR YET I STILL HAVE TO PAY $510 A MONTH FOR A CAR THAT I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE. GRAY CHEVROLET IS THE DEALER THE CAR IS AT AND THEY ARE THE WORST. GM DOESN'T HONOR THEIR WARRANTIES AND SHOULD BE PUT OUT OF BUSINESS. I WILL NEVER EVER BUY A GM VEHICLE EVER AGAIN. WHY WAS THERE NO LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD PRIOR? HOW DO I NEED A MOTOR OVER NIGHT WHEN I HAD NO PROBLEMS PREVIOUSLY? WHY IS THAT GM WILL NOT HONOR THEIR WARRANTY OR AT LEAST SEND SOMEONE TO THE DEALER TO INVESTIGATE? WHY WON'T GM AT LEAST CALL GRAY CHEVROLET TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED AS OPPOSED TO READING SOMETHING TO ME FROM A COMPUTER SCREEN? WHY WOULD THEY NOT TRY TO ASSIST THEIR CUSTOMERS? IM STRANDED WITH 2 KIDS AND NO ONE CARE. DON'T EVER BY ANY VEHICLE FROM GM!!!!!!!!

WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING DURING RAINSTORM WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON US 23, RENDERING DRIVER COMPLETELY BLIND FOR CONDITIONS. REPAIR SHOP REPLACED THE WIPER TRANSMISSION; DISCOVERED THIS HAS BEEN RECALLED IN CANADA BUT NOT US. CONTACTED GM BUT THEY DENY KNOWING OF THIS ISSUE DESPITE A PLETHORA OF REPORTS ONLINE.

MY CAR IS STALLING WHILE I'M DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS ON THE CITY STREETS AND WHEN I'M IDLING AT STOP LIGHTS. IT'S IDLING VERY ROUGH TO WHERE MY CAR IS SHAKING.

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON EVERY 10 SECONDS. CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDNET

2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO HVAC SYSTEM DEFECT - FRONT WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER ONLY BLOWS OUT COLD AIR. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. *JS

EVERY WINTER WHEN THE TEMPERATURES DROP BELOW FREEZING (OFTEN IN NORTHERN WI) MY WIPER FLUID FREEZES DESPITE USING WIPER FLUID RATED FOR -25 TO -28 DEGREES. THIS EFFECTS BOTH FRONT AND BACK WASHER SPRAYERS. THE BACK IS NOT A PROBLEM; HOWEVER, THE FRONT FREEZE UP RESULTS IN DECREASED VISIBILITY FROM THE ROAD SALT AND DIRT WHEN DRIVING CAUSING FREQUENT STOPS TO MANUALLY POUR WASHER FLUID OUT OF A BOTTLE AND THEN USE WIPERS. OFTEN THIS WORKS ONLY FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, DEPENDING UPON THE TRAFFIC, BEFORE HAVING TO REPEAT THE ABOVE PROCEDURE. PURCHASING A BRAND NEW VEHICLE I NEVER WOULD HAVE EXPECTED SUCH A PROBLEM. IT DOESN'T EVEN HELP WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING TO WARM UP FOR A HALF HOUR OR LONGER.

NO WARNING, ENGINE REAR SEAL FAILURE.

TAILGATE CLOSES WITH NO INPUT FROM ANY SWITCHES ON VEHICLE IT SHUTS COMPLETELY AND CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURIES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, ALL THE SENSORS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE "SERVICE ALL WHEEL DRIVE" WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COULD NOT RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS TOWED TO MIKE SAVOI CHEVROLET IN TROY, MICHIGAN. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE AND POWER STEERING CONNECT MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,929.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 60-65 MPH, THE STEERING SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON WOULD REMEDY THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROSSI CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (360 ROUTE 31 SOUTH, WASHINGTON, NJ 07882, (908) 320-4464) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE GENERATOR AND POWER STEERING INLET HOSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,320. *TT

THIS AND ALL OTHER GM VEHICLES HAVE FAULTY ANTI LOCK BRAKES THAT DO NOT FUNCTION CORRECT ON SNOW OR ICE. WHAT SHOULD BE A NORMAL STOP IN A NORMAL DISTANCE TURNS INTO THE BRAKES GOING INTO ANTI LOCK IF EVEN ONE WHEEL LOOSES TRACTION. THIS EXTENDS STOPPING DISTANCE BY ABOUT 5 TIMES WHAT IT WOULD BE WITHOUT ANTI LOCK BRAKES. YESTERDAY AGAIN I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN I WHEN THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. I WAS NOT GOING THAT FAST AND WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN EASY STOP THE BRAKES WENT INTO ANTI LOCK AND THE CAR LOOSES ABOUT 90% OF IT'S STOPPING ABILITY. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE TO KNOW GM CAR BRAKES BECOME USELESS ON SNOW AND ICE. THEIR IS NO REASON ANTI LOCK BRAKE EVEN NEED TO FUNCTION AT SPEEDS OF SAY UNDER 30 MPH AND SHOULD FUNCTION AT A DIFFERENT PULSE RATE IN TEMPERATURES UNDER 32 DEGREES.

TIMING CHAIN NOISE

MY LINK AND RADIO TURN ON AND OFF , TURN SIGNALS NOT WORKING DOOR CHARM AND SEAT BELT CHARM NOT WORKING . DOES NOT MATTER IF IT IS STATIONARY OR MOVING . ALSO ON STAR CUTS OFF WHEN THE MY LINK AND RADIO GOES OFF AND ON

THIS VEHICLES TRANSMISSION HAS SLIPPED SINCE BRAND NEW. MANY OTHER PEOPLE I KNOW, WHO HAVE THE SAME 4 CYLINDER ENGINE EXPERIENCE THIS SAME ISSUE. IT GOES OUT OF GEAR AT STOP SIGNS WHEN YOU TRY TO ENTER AN INTERSECTION, ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS AT SPEED AND IN ANY CONDITION. CHEVY IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT DOES NOTHING ABOUT IN, AND, THEY PUT THIS SAME TRANSMISSION IN THE NEW 2018 EQUINOX. ALSO, THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY. IT WAS REPAIRED IN THE SHOP. A NUMBER OF OTHER EQUINOX OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ISSUE.

RV TOWED 2015 EQUINOX DEVELOPING VIBRATION AND HARD TO HOLD ON HIGHWAY. HARD TO STEER WITHOUT OVER-CORRECTING

I OWN AN 2015 EQUINOX LT WHICH I PURCHASED SPECIFICALLY TO TOW BEHIND A MOTORHOME. WE PULLED FUSE 32 ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL (AN EXTRA 12-V OUTLET IS REQUIRED TO BE INSTALLED BECAUSE THE LAW REQUIRES US TO HAVE ADDITIONAL BRAKING IN THE TOWED). MY BRAKING SYSTEM REQUIRES A 12-V OUTLET AND FUSE 32 KILLS THE FACTORY INSTALLED OUTLET. 4 TIMES IN MY TRAVELS, MY TOWED HAS STARTED THRASHING ABOUT (WOBBLING) AFTER HITTING A SMALL BUMP ON A HIGHWAY (ABOUT 55-60 MPH)-- TO THE POINT THAT THE MOTORHOME IS THROWN ABOUT. A COMPLETE STOP IS REQUIRED IN ORDER TO MAKE IT STOP WOBBLING. THE HITCH HAS BEEN CHECKED BY 3 DIFFERENT HITCH SPECIALISTS -- NO PROBLEM. HITCH HEIGHT IS CORRECT. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE CHEVY DEALER IN ELK CITY, OK. TOLD HIM OF THE PROBLEM, HE HAD A TECH LOOK IT OVER AND COULD FIND NO PROBLEM. WE ARE NOW TRAVELING BACK TO CA, BUT NO LONGER ENJOYING OUR EQUINOX FOR FEAR THAT AT ANY TIME IT WILL START WOBBLING. INTERNET SEARCHES REVEAL WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

DRIVING ON I80 IN FAST LANE, HIT SEVERE STORM ENGAGED WIPERS THEY STARYED AND THEN STOPPED. UNABE TO SEE WAS ABLE TO PULL PVER FAST LANE SHOULDER

I WAS DRIVING IN A TERRIBLE RAIN STORM AND HAD THE WIPERS ON FAST SPEED. THE WIPERS COMPLETELY STOPPED. I WAS ON A 3 LANE HIGHWAY AND WAS ALMOST KILLED. WHEN I WAITED OUT THE STORM I DROVE HOME. I WENT TO THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT ALMOST 400,000 VEHICLES WERE RECALLED FOR FAULTY WIND SHIELD MOTOR TRANSMISSIONS. I CALLED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I HAD THE SAME FAILURE AS ALL THE OTHERS THAT WERE REPORTED. THEY TOLD ME IT DIDN'T MATTER AS MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I HAD TO GET MY WIPERS FIXED AT THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE REPAIR WAS THE SAME AS THEY DID FOR THE VEHICLES THAT WERE PART OF THE RECALL. I HAD THEM SAVE THE PARTS BUT THEY CHARGED ME $580.70. AFTER NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS I RECEIVED NO SATISFACTION FROM CHEVROLET. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I HOPE YOUR AGENCY CAN HELP.

I JUST PURCHASED A USED 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX FROM RICK HENDRICKS CHEVY DULUTH. SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, I NOTICED LOUD NOISES COMING FROM THE BRAKES WHEN APPLYING PRESSURE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT WHILE DRIVING IT MAKES A KNOCKING SOUND. I WAS TOLD BY ONE OF THERE MECHANICS IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT IT WAS OK! THE EQUINOX IS KNOWN TO MAKE A LITTLE NOISE WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS BEEN TO THERE SHOP OVER 3 TIMES FOR SEVERAL DAYS AT A TIME IN LESS THAN A MONTH AND STILL THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. THEY EXPLAINED EVERYTHING THEY FIXED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE NOISE WAS GONE AND THE BRAKES WERE IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION. WHEN I ASKED FOR PROOF THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE IT. I AM NOT A MECHANIC BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE FOR ONE MINUTE THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE MAKING ANY NOISE AT ALL LET ALONE NOISES WHEN YOU APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES. I HAVE REITERATED OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO RICK HENDRICKS CHEVY DULUTH THAT THERE IS A BRAKE ISSUE GOING ON WITH THE VEHICLE THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE DEADLY AND I WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I TRY TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF DRIVING I DO TO IMPORTANT PLACES ONLY SEEING AS THE NOISE IS STILL THERE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT WARNING.

THE WIPERS NEVER STARTED BACK UP AND I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE SHOP. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT GM HAS A RECALL ON 2013 MODEL (WIPERS/MOTOR) BUT NO OTHERS. THIS IS DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY USE THE SAME PART (MOTORS) FOR THE WIPERS IN OTHER MODEL.

MY DEALER, DALE EARNHARDT GMC TALLAHASSEE FL, REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING SAYING IT IS NOT A GM PROBLEM.

DESIGN FLAW BETWEEN THE PEDALS AND THE SEAT HAVE CAUSED ME TO HAVE SCIATIC PAIN. I HAD THE CAR JUST SHORT OF 2 YEARS BECAUSE I COULDN'T TAKE THE PAIN ANYMORE. THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE PEDALS BOTH VERTICALLY AND HORIZONTALLY ARE A PROBLEM. I ONLY RELATED THE PROBLEM TO THE CAR WHEN I WAS NOT DRIVING THE CAR FOR A THREE WEEK PERIOD, MY PAIN WAS GONE. I STARTED DRIVING THE CAR AGAIN AND THE PAIN RETURNED. I TESTED IT AGAIN, BY RENTING A DIFFERENT VEHICLE FOR A 5 DAY PERIOD AND THE PAIN WENT AWAY AGAIN AND A DAY AFTER RESUMING DRIVING MY EQUINOX THE PAIN RETURNED. I TRADED THE CAR IN THIS PAST WEEKEND (20170225) SO I COULD LIVE MY LIFE PAIN FREE.
