2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Unknown Or Other Problems

When I turn off my Chevrolet Equinox and leave the key in the ignition the vehicle attempts to restart itself numerous times. The lights on the dash all come on for a brief moment and you can hear it act like it’s going to start but then everything cuts off a second later. This has occurred everytime I turn my vehicle off and do not remove the key. I am always sitting in the vehicle when the key is in the ignition.

CAR WONT TURN ON AND KEYS STUCK IN IGNITION I CAN'T LOCK MY CAR

MY 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX TIMING CHAIN IS BAD AND LEAKS OIL HAD THE CAR NO LONGER THEN A YEAR THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE IN THE CHEVY EQUINOX I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND BAD TIMING CHAIN IS ONE OF THE NUMBER 1 PROBLEMS IN THESE CARS AND THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON BAD TIMING CHAINS I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF 4 KIDS TRYING TO GET BY AND THIS IS MY ONLY CAR I HAVE ITS STALLS ON ME ALL THE TIME AND THERE ARE MANY TIMES IT WILL NOT STAY RUNNING AT ALL I AM ASKING TO PLEASE PAY TO HAVE IT FIX OR PAY HALF ITS A BEAUTIFUL CAR ITS SAD TO KNOW THIS IS A KNOWN FACTOR IN THESE CARS TO HAVE BAD TIMING CHAINS AND PISTON RINGS ON THE MOTOR BUT I AM MORE WORRY ABOUT THE TIMING CHAIN I DO NOT HAVE $1200 TO $1800 FOR A NEW TIMINING OR CAR PLEASE HELP.

VEHICLE IS BURNING ASTRONOMICAL AMOUNTS OF OIL, EVEN WHEN CAR IS SITTING. CAR RUNS ROUGH AND IDLES AND ACTS AS IF IT WILL STALL OUT. THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS HAVE COME ON. CAR ACTS LIKE IT WON'T START AND TAKES A FEW TIMES BEFORE IT ACTUALLY STARTS UP. HAVE REPLACED SO MANY PARTS AND OF COURSE AT 155,000 MILES FOR A 2010 EQUINOX WE DON'T QUALIFY UNDER THE PENDING LAWSUIT. CAR IS PARKED BECAUSE IT USES SO MUCH OIL.

A THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS) IS SITUATED OPPOSITE THE THROTTLE LINKAGE CONNECTION ON THE THROTTLE PLATE. WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN AN ALARM WENT OFF ON MY DASH SAYING A SENSOR WAS BAD. NEXT THING THE CAR SAID LOSING POWER TO ENGINE AND MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AND DECELERATING.

I BOUGHT MY USED 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX FROM THE DEALER, AND 2 WEEKS LATER THE SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY DID AN ALIGNMENT AND THE SAME DAY THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON WITH TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO THE GROCERY STORE, AND WHEN I TRIED TO START IT TO LEAVE IT WOULDN'T START. AFTER 2 TRIES, IT FINALLY STARTED BUT THEN THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULDN'T GO ABOVE 25 MPH. EVENTUALLY THE VEHICLE POWERED DOWN AND I HAD TO PULL OVER FOR A TOW TRUCK TO COME. THE CHEVY DEALER SAID IT WAS THE MAIN TIMING CHAIN (NOT COVERED) AND SOMETHING ELSE IN THE ENGINE BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR LABOR TO DISASSEMBLE IT. MY CAR HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE AND SITTING AT THE DEALER FOR NOW 10 DAYS. LUCKILY I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED, AND DECIDED TO GO TO THE STORE BEFORE HEADING TO WORK. CARFAX REPORTS INDICATE THE TIMING CHAIN AND FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED AT 40,000 MILES ALREADY. I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM IN MUCH SCARIER SITUATIONS. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS.

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK BUT THEY ARE SAYING THEY FIXED STUFF THAT NOBODY HAS TOUCHED. ATTACHED WILL BE THEIR RECALL. AND SECOND A PHOTO SHOWING NOBODY FIXED IT, LITTLE LONE TOUCHED IT FOR REPAIR. SCAMMING CUSTOMERS. I CANNOT GET MY TIRES TO SYNC TO THE VEHICLE EITHER. BOTH SAFETY.

I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY AND THESE LIGHTS POPPED ON OUT OF NO WHERE THE EXHAUST RESGINATOR CRACKING THE CAR CONSTANTLY HAS WHEEL BEARING ISSUE AND THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL IT'S NOT DOING WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO DO WITH IT.I WAS DRIVING ON THE L-90 THRUWAY AT 65 MPH. I. AM ALSO HAVING HEAD LIGHT BLOWING I HAVE CHANGED THE HEADLIGHTS 4 TIMES THIS YEAR

MY CAR STARTED ITSELF WHEN THE KEY WAS IN MY POCKET AND I WAS AT THE REAR OF THE CAR UNLOADING. I DO NOT HAVE A KEYLESS ENTRY OR STARTING FEATURE ON MY CAR. I WAS PARKED AT OUR COMMUNITY GARDEN AND MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE UNLOADING GARDEN TOOLS, SO WE WERE TOUCHING THE CAR AND FELT IT WHEN IT FIRED UP. IT WAS AN UNDERWEAR CHANGING MOMENT.

BOUGHT A USED CHEVY EQUINOX AND THE MANIFOLD CRACKED, COSTLY REPAIR THAT I WAS INFORMED SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING SAFETY ISSUE BEING ADDRESSED 10 PLUS TIMES A MONTH BY THIS CENTER ALONE. AS THIS SEEMS TO BE A FREQUENT AND KNOWN DEFECT THAT CAN CAUSE DEATH IF NOT FOUND AND FIXED I BELIEVE THAT CHEVY SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THE SAFETY CONCERN AND ISSUE A RECALL RATHER THAN WAITING TO SEE PEOPLE PASS AWAY BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD OR ARE UNAWARE OF THE DANGER

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THEN TURN OFF AFTER A COUPLE DAYS THIS HAPPEN FOR A FEW MONTHS AND THEN NOW IT'S ON PERMANENTLY I CHECKED WITH ONSTAR AND HAD THEM RUN A TEST AND IT SAYS MY EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEM IS IN TROUBLE I DO NOT UNDERSTAND BECAUSE I USE GOOD FUEL I MAINTAIN MY ORIOLE AND MY MAINTENANCE ON MY VEHICLE AT ALL TIMES AND IT IS A FAIRLY NEW EQUINOX I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM

Mileage: 14,500

CAR SLOWED DOWN DURING DRIVING, I PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO CHANGE GEARS; UNABLE TO DO SO, I CALLED THE PICK UP TRUCK, AFTER THEY CHECKED THE CAR THEY SAID THE PROBLEM WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND I SHOULD CALL THE DEALER BECAUSE OF THE LOW MILLAGE AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS FULL.

MY 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX IS BURNING OIL VERY FAST. I HAVE HAD A MECHANIC AT MY WORK CHECK THE OIL LEVEL EVERY THURSDAY FOR THE LAST MONTH AND ADD APPROXIMATELY 1.5 LITRES EVERY THURSDAY. MY CO-WORKER HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH HER EQUINOX AND IT WAS A RECALL. HER OIL WAS GOING INTO HER FUEL. THIS IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE THAT SEEMS TO BE REOCCURRING. BEFORE REALIZING THAT THE OIL WAS AN ISSUE, MY CAR WOULD AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING- SOMETIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION.

THE HEAT AND AIR WILL NOT WORK FOR LONG AND SHORT PERIODS OF TIME. THERE IS A TICKING SOUND, BUT THE HEAT OR AIR WON'T WORK. PERIODICALLY THE SCREEN OF THE RADIO WILL GO OFF AND REMAIN THAT WAY UNTIL THE HEAT OR AIR DECIDES TO WORK AGAIN. IT'S HARD TO DRIVE IN THE RAIN, AND I WILL HAVE TO ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN TO CLEAR THE FOG FROM THE WINDSHIELD. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR.

THE AC IS GIVING ME ISSUES AND I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUES WITH THE AC BREAKING BROKE AFTER CERTAIN MILEAGES!

I FILED A COMPLAINT 4 DAYS AGO #11182292. I'VE CONTACTED GM AND THEY HAVE NO RECALL ON MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE. THERE WAS A RECALL #090298 DONE FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM I'M EXPERIENCING. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR GM SEEMS WILLING TO INCLUDE MY CAR IN THIS RECALL. I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN LIVING ON A FIXED INCOME. I'M TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS TODAY. I'M ASKING FOR HELP PAYING FOR THIS IF IT IS DIAGNOSED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE VEHICLES THAT WERE RECALLED. ALL THE ITEMS LISTED ON THAT PARTICULAR RECALL # ARE IDENTICAL TYPE IDENTICAL TO WHAT I'M EXPERIENCING. YOUR ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED IN THIS MATTER.

Mileage: 65,000

THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM INTERMITTENTLY BLOWS EITHER HIGH HEAT OR NO HEAT AT ALL. I FOUND A SAFETY RECALL # 090298 FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM AND CALLED MY DEALER. THEY HAVE NO RECALL FOR THIS AND WON'T FIX IT FOR NO COST UNLESS THEY CAN FIND A RECALL! IF YOU NEED MORE INFORMATION PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. THIS HAPPENS OF COURSE WHEN IN MOTION NO MATTER WHAT TYPE OF STREET OR HIGHWAY I'M ON.

A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED MY USED EQUINOX MY WATER PUMP WENT OUT. WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY REALIZE THAT MY OPINIONS HAVE BEEN WORN AND MY TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AFTER MY ENGINE LIGHT POPPED ON.. THIS CAR HAS BEEN UNRELIABLE ALMOST THE WHOLE TIME I'VE OWNED IT. LAST MARCH I REPLACE THE TIMING CHAIN AGAIN. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I REALIZE THAT MY TIMING CHAIN KEEPS GETTING DESTROYED BECAUSE THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP IS LEAKING GAS INTO MY CRANKCASE. CHEVY HAS PUT OUT A RECALL FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE BUT MY VIN IS NOT LISTED. I'M NOT SURE WHY IT WOULDN'T BE LISTED ESPECIALLY SINCE I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS THAT IS LISTED IN THE BULLETIN.

JANUARY 8TH IT WAS RAINING REALLY HEAVY AND I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY CITY STREET TO WORK THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST SUDDENLY STOPPED. ALSO RIGHT AFTER I'VE GOTTEN MY CAR MY CAR WAS MAKING A LOUD NOISE I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THERE'S A CRACK IN THE EXHAUST BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS HE SAID ARE VERY COMMON IN ALL THE EQUINOX AND THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2013 CHEVY EQUINOX

ORIGINAL RECALL 09 V4 89000 WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE FIXED VISIBILITY ISSUE. CAR WAS TAKEN IN AT THE TIME OF THE ORIGINAL RECALL. THE VEHICLE IS SHOWING SYMPTOMS OF THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS BEFORE WHERE DEFROSTER IS NO LONGER WORKING BECAUSE OF CONTROLS NOT FUNCTIONING. RADIO IS ALSO OUT ALONG WITH POSSIBLE OTHER UNKNOWN ELECTRICAL ISSUES. WE'VE TURN THE CAR ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES HOPING IT WAS JUST A GLITCH, HOWEVER IT APPEARS THE PROBLEMS OF THE FIRST RECALL ARE BACK AGAIN. DRIVING THE VEHICLE POSE A THREAT HAS WE LIVE IN WEATHER WE'RE HAVING TO HAVE CONTROL OVER THE DEFROSTING IS NEEDED. DEFROSTER AND PANEL DO NOT WORK BECAUSE OF LACK OF ELECTRICAL CONTROL. MY WORRY IS THAT THIS IS SYSTEMIC, THE THE ISSUE IS REOCCURRING, EVERY SO YEARS OR SO, THAT OTHER ISSUES WILL CONTINUALLY MAKE THIS AN ISSUE IN THE FUTURE.

Mileage: 148,000

I RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USE IT WAS WONDERING WHY THE OWNER GOT RID OF IT NOW I KNOW. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH THE HILL ASSIST ON THIS VEHICLE AND I HAVE SEEN COMPLAINTS ON THE FORM THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND NOT KNOWN WHAT IT WAS. THE PROBLEM I'M HAVING IS WHEN THE HILL ASSIAT ENGAGE'S IT WILL NOT DISENGAGE LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO. I ACTUALLY HAD TO HAVE A MECHANIC RESET THE WHOLE COMPUTER TO GET IT TO DISENGAGE THE OTHER DAY AND REMOVE THE BATTERY TERMINAL TODAY TO GET A DISENGAGED. I EVEN CALLED THE DEALER TODAY AT THEY WEREN'T AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT CONVENIENT. SEVERAL MECHANICS KNOW BUT THE DEALER DOESN'T WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. I'VE ALREADY DIAGNOSED IT, I JUST WANT TOKNOW WHAT THE FIX IS. ACCORDING TO EVERY MECHANIC OF SPOKE TO ITS IN THE COMPUTER PROGRAMMING AND THERE IS NO FIX. I WILL HAVE ON THIS VEHICLE FOR WEEKS AND IT'S ALREADY HAPPENED TO ME 5 TIMES.

AS I WAS APPROACHING TO A STOP LIGHT MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE AS IT WAS TRYING TO SHUT ITSELF DOWN. AS THE LIGHT TURNED AND AND I TRIED TO PUSH THE GAS PEDDLE, THE CAR WENT A LITTLE THEN STOPPED. I CRANKED THE KEY AGAIN, STARTED, THEN SHUT OFF. NOW THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE MY THE TRUCK WOULD START BACK UP AND DRIVE AGAIN. YOU CAN HEAR THIS WEIRD RATTLING NOISE AND WHILE DRIVING I WAS ALWAYS CAUTIOUS NOT KNOWING IF MY CAR WOULD JUST STOP RANDOMLY, OR IT IF WAS JUST A FLUKE. NO FLUKE. I SEE MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES AND GM NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE! I DRIVE WITH MY 3 AND 4 YEAR OLD DAILY, AS WELL AS TAKING MY CLIENT'S TO AND FROM APPOINTMENTS AND RUNNING ERRANDS. JUST FEEL SO VIOLATED THAT A CAR WAS SOLD TO ME KNOWING THE PRE HISTORIC CONDITIONS.

SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, I CONSTANTLY GET A "SERVICE AIRBAG" MESSAGE ON MY DASHBOARD. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE DEALER AS WELL AS GM/CHEVORLET BY PHONE AND WAS TOLD THAT UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER IN WHICH I PURCHASED AND SINCE THEY DID NOT SEE THE MESSAGE THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I FEAR (GOD FORBID) BEING IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY. I DO TRAVEL WITH MY CHILDREN IN WHICH ONE OF THE 3 IS A TODDLER. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. - ALSO WHICH IS VERY ANNOYING MY KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. NOW I HAVE 2 SETS OF KEYS ONE GETS STUCK MORE THAN THE OTHER, BUT THERE ARE TIMES WHERE I HAVE TO SPEND HOURS TRYING TO REMOVE IT - I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT ONCE AGAIN WAS TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THIS. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS VIDEOS AND FORUMS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. NEEDLES TO SAY I WOULD NEVER PURCHASE A CHEVY AGAIN! TOO MANY ISSUES FOR A CAR THAT I'VE ONLY HAD A FEW YEARS.

INTERMITTENT LOSS OF SYSTEM HEAT. BLOWER WORKS BUT BLOWS FRIGID AIR INTO CABIN AND ONTO WINDSHIELD CAUSING FROSTING AND SAFETY ISSUE. CONTROLS DO NOT WORK TO CORRECT ISSUE. ACTUATOR DOORS EITHER DON'T MOVE OR MOVE RANDOMLY. NO CHANGE IN BLOWER AIR. AIR TEMP FEELS LIKE BELOW ZERO. NO WARNING OF CHANGE FROM HOT TO COLD AIR. VEHICLE CAN BE STATIONARY, IN MOTION, HIGHWAY SPEEDS, SIDE STREET SPEEDS, TURNING, STRAIGHT, IT DOESN'T MATTER. IN GOING TO DESTINATION HEAT STOPPED AND COLD AIR BLEW. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS. DEALER SAYS NOT CODING OR STORING CODES. MAIN COMPUTER DOESN'T SENSE THE PROBLEM. ACTUATORS RECALIBRATED ON FRIDAY, IT REOCCURRED ON SATURDAY. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE CONTROL SYSTEM BRAIN BUT DEALER UNWILLING TO DO REPAIRS. 2010 AND 2011 WERE THE WORST YEARS FOR ISSUES IN THESE VEHICLES. MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUES. DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T FIX IT IF IT DOESN'T DISPLAY CODES ACCORDING TO MY ALMOST $4000 WARRANTY SERVICE CONTRACT. I LOVE MY EQUINOX BUT I NEED IT FIXED AND WORKING. BROUGHT IT INTO DEALER ON FRIDAY, INTAKE PERSON ACTUALLY FELT THE FRIGID AIR COMING FROM BLOWER. NO AMOUNT OF FLIPPING SWITCHES, TURNING KNOBS OR PUSHING BUTTONS CORRECT THIS ISSUE. STILL THEY DON'T FIX IT BECAUSE OF NO CODES. I SAY MAIN COMPUTER IS MALFUNCTIONING BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SENSE THE PROBLEM THEREFORE IT DOESN'T SHOW CODES. DEALER ADMITS THERE IS AN ISSUE, JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. ON A PERSONAL NOTE, I AM A CANCER SURVIVOR AND HAVE MANY MEDICAL ISSUES, I ALSO TRANSPORT YOUNG CHILDREN IN MY VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE IS A HEALTH HAZARD TO MYSELF AND THEM.

MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER WENT OUT WITH LESS THAN 100,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT MY CAR DOES NOT FIT IN THE "BUILD DATE WINDOW" ALTHOUGH THE BULLETIN COVERS THE YEAR AND ENGINE TYPE.

Mileage: 96,000

MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON I TAKE CAR TO GM DEALER AND THEY TELL ME I NEED A CATALYTIC CONVERTER, THEY DIDN'T TELL ME THAT THERE WAS A SPECIAL SERVICE COVER FOR THE PART, WHEN I CALLED THEM BACK ABOUT IT THE TELL ME THAT ME CAR WAS OUT OF THE MILE PART OF THE COVERAGE AND THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF, I CALL GM AND SPOKE TO A LADY NAME ADREA AND SHE INFORMS ME THE SAME THING I TOLD HER I NEVER RECEIVED ANY THING IN THE MAIL CONCERNING IS COVERAGE, SHE SAID THE MAILED THEM OUT MARCH 2017, I ASKED IF SHE WAS ABLE TO TELL IF THERE WAS ONE SENT TO MY ADDRESS SHE COULD NOT. THIS PART IS SHOULD HAVE NEVER BE A SPECIAL SERVICE COVERAGE, BECAUSE IT IS A ENVIRONMENT ISSUES, THIS CAR IS 7 YEARS OLD. SO I HAVE BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH TRYING TO GET GM TO FIX THIS.

Mileage: 169,000

EXHAUST MANIFOLD COVER ISSUE -THE CAR MADE A LOUD NOISE WHEN I START THE CAR. I TOOK IT TO AN AUTO REPAIR PLACE WHEN NOISE WAS UNBEARABLE AND FOUND THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD COVER WAS CRACKED AND THAT WAS CAUSING TOXIC AIR PUSHED BACK INTO THE CAR WHEN I TURN ON A/C OR HEAT WHICH IS HAZARDOUS TO THE OCCUPANTS HEALTH. SO I NEEDED TO GET IT FIXED ASAP. I GOOGLED TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY RECALL OR WARRANTY EXTENSION ON THIS PART SO I CAN TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE WAS NO RECALL OR WARRANTY EXTENSION ON THIS PART. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND CAME ACROSS COMPLAINS FROM OTHER CHEVY OWNERS REGARDING THIS ISSUE (COMPLAINS SEEN ONLINE). I CONTACTED CHEVY TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS WELL AS SEE IF THEY WOULD REIMBURSE THE MONEY I SPENT ON THIS REPAIR (OVER $600) AND THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN IT TO THEIR DEALERSHIP WHERE IN REALITY WOULD HAVE COST ME MORE THAN $1000 IF THERE IS NO RECALL OR WARRANTY EXTENSION ON THIS PART (THE CHEVY FOLKS ARE AWARE THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PART). I BELIEVE THIS IS A HEALTH HAZARD FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND DRIVE AROUND WITH A CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD COVER BECAUSE THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO MAKE THAT EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I CONTACTED ANOTHER AUTO REPAIR PLACE AND THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING ABOUT TOXIC GAS BEING PUMPED INTO THE CAR IF THAT COVER IS NOT FIXED.

2010 CHEVY EQUINOX (53K MILES). VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A CITY STREET AND WHILE IN DRIVE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK WHILE IN MOTION AND WOULD NOT SHIFT IN REVERSE. THE ENGINE RAN BUT THE COULD WOULD NOT MOVE. ALL OF THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES REFLECTED THE TRANSMISSION.

Mileage: 52,977

WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE SPEEDS UP BUT THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE ALMOST LIKE IT IS OUT OF GEAR..IT REVS AND THEN WILL BE OK AND BACK TO NORMAL SPEED AND I WAS ON A SURFACE STREET. NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME.LUCK FOR ME. AT TIMES MAKES A HIGH PITCHED SOUND WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING. THE NEAREST DEALER IS NOT 20 MILES FROM MY HOME. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE.

OIL CONSUMPTION, EVERYTIME I GET AN OIL CHANGE THE CAR HAS BURNT NEARLY HALF THE OIL THAT WAS PUT IN THE CAR IN 3000 MILES. ALSO MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON FOR A BAD CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND I KNOW SEVERAL OTHER EQUINOX OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

BOTH HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING TEMPERATURE IS FLUXUATES ON IT'S OWN. UNABLE TO GET ENOUGH HEAT OR COOL WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS QUITE COLD OR QUITE WARM.

WASN'T INFORMED ABOUT THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. LETTER NEVER MADE IT TO MY HOUSE. EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION HAS CAUSED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER TO FAIL PREMATURELY . CHEVY ISSUED A SPECIAL WARRANTY BUT IT DISQUALIFIES YOU IF YOU HAVE MORE 120K MILES. CHEVY HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUES SINCE 2011 BUT INTENTIONALLY WAITED TO ISSUE SPECIAL BULLETIN BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO DISQUALIFY AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE.. THE SERVICE REP TOLD ME SINCE I DIDN'T PAY THE PREVIOUS REPAIR (WHICH WERE MANUFACTURER DEFECTS) THAT I AM BASICALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. THIS CAR HAS HAD OVER 4 MAJOR REPAIRS THAT WERE DUE TO MANUFACTURER DEFECTS BUT THE REP IS SAYING THAT SINCE I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER THEY WON'T ASSIST ME. I TOLD HER THE ISSUE IS WITH THE CAR, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OWNERSHIP WHICH IS WHY YOU'RE ISSUING ALL THE SPECIAL WARRANTIES. NONE OF THE MAJOR REPAIRS THAT WERE DONE ON THIS CAR ARE LISTED IN THE VEHICLE HISTORY REPORT ON CARFAX OR ON THE GM OWNER SITE WHERE IT STATES THAT SUCH REPORTS WILL APPEAR. I GOT THE SERVICE REPORT FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I SAW THE SALES ASSOCIATE WITH IT. I TOLD THE REP HAD THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION BEEN LISTED ON MY CHEVY PROFILE I WOULD HAVE HAD THE ISSUE FIXED THUS SAVING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. SHE STILL CLAIMED IT WAS SENT. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS NEED TO BE RECALLED WITHOUT EXCEPTION. HONDA REPLACED MY CRACKED MY ENGINE BLOCK NO QUESTIONS ASKED! THEY HAVE HONORED EVER WARRANTY I'VE EVER HAD AND FIXED EVERY MANUFACTURER DEFECT WITHOUT DRAMA. I CANNOT SAY THAT ABOUT CHEVY. THEY HAVE CAUSED ME NOTHING BUT STRESS OVER ISSUES THEY CREATED AND HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH IT AND TODAY I JUST LEARNED THAT MY CAR NOW HAS A FUEL PUMP RECALL.

WAVE PLATE THE WAVE PLATE BLEW UP IN OUR TRANSMISSION LEAVING US WITH A $5000 BILL ON A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 76000 MILES. THE WAVE PLATE ON 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX'S HAS BEEN RECALLED BY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBERS BY GM BUT FOR WHATEVER REASON MY VIN IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. IT SHOULD BE AND I SHOULDNT BE PAYING A 5000$ BILL. OUR VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD AND 4 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR. MY HUSBAND AND A KIND GENTLEMAN HAD TO PUSH THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE ROADWAY.

Mileage: 76,000

THE RADIO WILL NOT TURN ON WHEN I START THE VEHICLE. IT IS NOT UNTIL 10 MINUTES LATER THAT THE RADIO WILL FINALLY TURN ON AND WORK PROPERLY. THIS ALSO EFFECTS THE TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARD LIGHTS. I FEEL THAT WITH THE FACT THE TURN SIGNALS DO NOT WORK THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS STARTED IN MY DRIVEWAY.

Mileage: 76,000

I PURCHASED THE CAR IN SEPT. 2014. IT WAS USED. WHEN I TOOK IT FOR IT'S FIRST OIL CHANGE I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY OF OIL. I CHECKED IT AGAIN MYSELF AWHILE LATER AND IT WAS DRY AGAIN. I CONTINUED TO CHECK IT AND IT LOSES OIL FAST. IT'S NOT LEAKING AND IT'S DOESN'T SEEM TO BE BURNING IT UP. WHEN I GOOGLE OIL LOSS EQUINOX 2010 I FOULD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY ARE SAYING THE ONLY SOLUTION IS A NEW ENGINE. I HAVE FINALLY CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY MAY NOT COVER IT UNDER THE WARRANTY.

35R WAVE TORQUE CONVERTOR/TRANSMISSION - DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ALL OF A SUDDEN GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT ACCELERATE NO SPEED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A CAR AND HAD TO SHIFT MY CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND GLIDE IT TO THE SHOULDER LANE. GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE ISSUE FOR QUITE A WHILE WITH THE WAVE PLAT TORQUE CONVERTOR AND TRANSMISSION AND HAS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE RECALL. MY CAR HAS VERY PRISTINE AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE WITH ONLY 70,000 MILES ON IT. I AM ACTIVE DUTY AND I DO NOT WANT OTHER LIVES TO BE IN DANGER. THERE ARE MANY POSTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE DUPLICATING MY ISSUE EXACTLY THE SAME AND GM HAS NOT TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. I WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY, IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND RELEASING EMERGENCY BRAKE. I WOULD JUST HEAR THIS CLICKING NOISE NEAR THE KEY IGNITION WHEN I TRIED TO MOVE IT OUT OF PARK. I'VE HAD THE CAR IN AND OUT OF SERVICE ABOUT 6 TIMES FROM JULY - DEC 2015 BECAUSE OF THIS. FIRST FEW TIMES, THE MECHANICS COULD NOT GET THE PROBLEM TO DUPLICATE. ONE OF THOSE TIMES, THEY THOUGHT THE BATTERY CAUSED IT AND SAID IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ANYWAY BC IT WAS WEAK - I DID THAT. ANOTHER TIME, THEY SAID IT WAS BC SOME STUFF HAD SPILLED DOWN IN THERE WHERE THE SHIFTER CABLES WERE, SO THEY CLEANED AND REWIRED IT. STILL ANOTHER TIME THEY SAID A COMPUTER PART WAS SENDING WEAK SIGNALS, SO THEY REPLACED THAT. THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED ONCE, THEN AGAIN BC ONE OF THE PARTS WAS DEEMED DEFECTIVE. THIS LAST VISIT (DEC 2015), THEY SAID IT WAS BAD WIRING FROM THE ECM THAT CAUSED IT. SOME OF THESE SERVICE/DIAGNOSTIC FEES & THE COST OF TOWING HAVE BEEN WAIVED OR REIMBURSED, OTHERS HAVE NO. NONE OF THE ISSUES SPECIFICALLY "RELATED" TO THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY WERE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. SO AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, I HAVE BEEN OUT AT LEAST $500-700 OVER THESE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. HUGE INCONVENIENCES - BEING STUCK AT WORK AT THE END OF THE DAY OR AT HOME AS I'M READY TO LEAVE FOR WORK. I AM PLANNING TO TRADE THIS CAR IN WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH OR TWO. IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR ALL OF THIS, I WOULD'VE LOVED THE CAR. I WAS SATISFIED WITH EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT IT.

WE WERE DRIVING TO THE AIRPORT, CAME OUT OF CONSTRUCTION ONTO UPHILL PART OF HIGHWAY. I WAS ACCELERATING AND HEARD A "POP".THOUGHT A TIRE BLEW, SAW WHITE SMOKE ON THE SIDES OF THE CAR AND PULLED OVER. MY BOYFRIEND GOT OUT IMMEDIATELY TO LOOK FOR A BLOWN TIRE. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, SHUT OFF THE IGNITION AND BLACK SMOKE BEGAN POURING INTO THE CAR. I KNEW THERE WAS NOT A BLOWN TIRE AND YELLED FOR BOYFRIEND TO HELP GET OUR TWO YOUNG CHILDREN OUT OF THE CAR. OPENED THE BACK DOOR AND COULDN'T SEE THE KIDS DUE TO ALL OF THE BLACK SMOKE AND ENTIRE FRONT END WAS ON FIRE WITHIN SECONDS. I GOT THE KIDS TO SAFETY AND THE CAR PROCEEDED TO BLOW UP THREE SEPARATE TIMES IN WELL UNDER 10 MINUTES. THE MAN DRIVING BEHIND US HELPED AND STATED TO ME THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE CAR WHILE HE DROVE BEHIND US PRIOR TO THE "POP" WE HEARD. IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS, NO POLICE REPORT DESPITE HIGHWAY BEING SHUT DOWN FOR A HOUR AND DETECTIVES SHOWING UP LATER. INSURANCE COMPANY WASN'T GOING TO INVESTIGATE, I GOT GM INVOLVED AND NOW THEY MIGHT. WAS GIVEN A CASE # BY GM, CALLED TWICE, NO RESPONSE BACK FOR 6 DAYS. I WANT TO KNOW THE CAUSE OF THIS. 5 YEAR OLD PERFECTLY MAINTAINED CARS WITH NO WARNING SHOULD NOT CATCH FIRE AND BLOW UP. I SAW AN ARTICLE ABOUT A MAN IN CONNECTICUT WITH A SIMILAR INCIDENT AND HIS WAS RELATED TO A REGIONAL RECALL THAT DID NOT INCLUDE THAT STATE. I LIVE IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND QUESTION IF THIS COULD BE ASSOCIATED. THE CAR COULD HAVE KILLED OUR CHILDREN AND HARMED INNOCENT PEOPLE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. WE WERE FORTUNATE TO HAVE GOOD PEOPLE HELP US AND REACT SO QUICKLY. THE STATE POLICE OFFICER HAD US LEAVE IMMEDIATELY TO CATCH OUR FLIGHT AND TOLD US THERE WAS NOTHING WE COULD DO AND THEY HAD THE CAR TOWED. WE WERE UNABLE TO GET THE NAMES OF TWO MEN THAT HELPED DUE TO SHOCK AND BELIEF THAT THERE WOULD BE A POLICE REPORT.

INCIDENT OCCURRED: JUNE 30, 2015 A TRACTOR TRAILER WAS PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO COME INTO THE LEFT LANE. I HAD CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED. THE TRUCK CAME OVER ADMITTEDLY AT A SPEED THAT WAS GOING SLOWER THAN THE RATE OF SPEED I HAD ON MY CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN I WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKE, I FELT AS THOUGH MY CAR WAS NOT DECELERATING ENOUGH BASED ON THE PRESSURE I WAS APPLYING TO THE BRAKE. I QUICK CHECKED MY SIDE MIRROR- I WAS UNABLE TO GO AROUND THE DRIVER BECAUSE A CAR WAS NEXT TO ME AND I CHECKED MY REARVIEW MIRROR TO ENSURE I WAS NOT GOING TO BE REAR-ENDED AS WELL- KNOWING I WAS TOO CLOSE AND GOING TO COLLIDE WITH THE TRUCK DRIVER AT THIS POINT. I APPLIED AS MUCH PRESSURE AS I COULD TO THE BRAKES TO DECELERATE BUT UNFORTUNATELY STILL COLLIDED WITH THE DRIVER. MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY- DESPITE THIS, IT ALLOWED ME TO SEE MY MIRRORS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE INCIDENT SO THAT I COULD SAFELY COAST TO THE SHOULDER OF THE PA TURNPIKE WITHOUT DISRUPTING TRAFFIC. MY 2 CONCERNS: WAS BRAKING FAULTY WHEN CRUISE CONTROL IS ENGAGED? ALSO- MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

SEVERAL MONTHS AGO WE TOOK OUR CAR IN FOR A $300 CHECK UP & COMPLAINED THAT WHEN WE STARTED IT UP IT SOUNDED LIKE THERE WAS NO OIL. DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. JUST ABOUT 10DAYS AGO ANOTHER NOISE WAS HEARD. IT GOT WORSE. TOOK IT IN & THERE WAS NO OIL ON THE DIP STICK. WE JUST HAD THE OIL CHANGED ABOUT A MONTH OR SO AGO. OH YES AT THAT TIME IT KEPT LEAKING OIL WHEN PARKED. TOOK IT BACK 3 TIMES TO HAVE IT CORRECTED. NOW THEY HAVE SEALED EVERYTHING OFF & THEY WILL CHECK THE OIL IN 500 MILES. MAY NEED PISTONS & RINGS. THEY TELL ME THIS IS HAPPENING TO THE 2010 EQUINOX CARS. LOOK UP OUR RECORD. WE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF TIMES FOR OTHER THINGS. 1 PART 3 TIMES IN 9 MTHS. NOT HAPPY AT ALL. *TR

I AM LOSING A LOT OF OIL WITHIN THE 3000 MILES BEFORE I CHANGE IT. MY CAR IS LOSING POWER IT STALLS IT RUNS VERY LOUDLY AND IT KNOCKS A LITTLE. I PUT AT LEAST 12 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 3000 MILES AND IT'S NOT LEAKING BECAUSE I CHECKED THE TOP AND THE BOTTOM OF THE MOTOR AND THERE IS NO SIGN OF OIL ANYWHERE NOT EVEN OUT OF MY TAIL PIPE. *TR

THIS CHEVY VEHICLE IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE HAD OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS, ROUGH IDLING, AND LOSS OF GAS MILEAGE. IT IS OBVIOUS CHEVY/GM KNOW ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS. THEY HAVE ISSUED A PUZZLING LETTER ON JULY 13 ALERTING OWNERS THAT THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH "THE CHROME LAYER ON THE BALANCE CHAIN PINS, ALLOWING THE CHAIN TO STRETCH. THIS WOULD CAUSE AN ENGINE NOISE AND IF LEFT UNTREATED, COULD CAUSE THE CHAIN TO BREAK, LEADING TO ENGINE DAMAGE. IN ADDITION, THE FUEL PUMP PLUNGER SHAFT SEAL MAY WEAR AND ALLOW FUEL TO LEAK INTO THE CRANKCASE..." ALSO ON JULY 19, 2013 CHEVY ISSUED #13-06-01-003B,: EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION....." THESE TWO PROBLEMS ARE CLOSELY RELATED BUT CHEVY REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL. IF YOU ARE DRIVING YOUR FAMILY AT 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CHAIN BREAKS BECAUSE IT LACKS LUBRICATION, ENGINE POWER WILL BE LOST AND PROBABLY MANY LIVES. CHEVY IS AWARE THAT THESE SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS EXIST AND INSTEAD OF BEING PROACTIVE THEY STALL THE OWNER BY REQUESTING A 2,000 MILE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THAT TEST IS DESIGNED TO PUT THE BURDEN OF PROOF UPON THE OWNER AND NOT WHERE IT TRULY BELONGS, CHEVY. I HOPE SOMEONE TAKES THESE ISSUES SERIOUSLY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. ONE CANNOT DISMISS LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AT HIGH SPEEDS DUE TO THEIR NEGLIGENCE. ACCORDING TO CHEVY, IN ADDITION TO THE CHAIN PROBLEM, THE PISTONS, VALVES, VALVE STEMS, CYLINDER, OIL PUMP, CAM SHAFT OR ROD BEARINGS MIGHT NEED REPLACEMENT DUE TO OIL LOSS. IN MY OPINION, THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR THE ISSUES CITED ABOVE.

THE EQUINOX WAS BEING TOWED (ALL WHEELS DOWN) BEHIND A MOTORHOME. CHEVROLET CERTIFIES IT AS TOWABLE IN THIS MANNER. THE TOWING BASEPLATE, PRODUCED BY DEMCO SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS VEHICLE) WAS ATTACHED TO THE CAR'S FRONT RAIL ENDS OF THE FRAME. WHILE UNDERWAY, THE FRONT RAIL ENDS TORE LOOSE FROM THE FRAME. THE BASEPLATE, THUS DETACHED, TORE THE FRONT GRILL AND BUMPER FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CAR GLIDED TO A STOP ON THE ROAD. HAD WE BEEN ON A BUSY HIGHWAY OR ON A HILL, OTHER VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH MAY HAVE OCCURRED. WE FEEL THAT THE FRONT RAIL ENDS ARE NOT SUFFICIENTLY STURDY TO SUPPORT TOWING AND CHEVROLET SHOULD NOT CERTIFY THE EQUINOX AS TOWABLE.

THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE STEERING. AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR MORE THAN AND 1/2 HOUR, IT BECOMES STICKY ON EACH SIDE OF THE CENTER. I HAVE HAD NO SERIOUS PROBLEMS AS OF YET, BUT THE LONGER IT IS DRIVEN, THE WORSE IT GETS. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE NATURAL RESPONSE IS TO CORRECT AND SOMETIMES THIS CANBE QUITE SCARY OR NERVE RACKING. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THEY CLAIMED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG.
