2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Visibility/wiper Problems

The climate controls, including the seat warmers, located on the control panel directly below the radio/stereo controls on my 2010 Chevy Equinox stopped working. As a result, the ability to control the temperature and direction of heated/cooled air was lost. I tolerated the conditions for several seasons, winter being the toughest due to temp and the need for defrost, until buying a new car (as an addition, not a replacement vehicle). As my oldest child became of age to begin driving, I've attempted to prepare the car for his driving and safety. In researching how to repair this malfunction, I came across a recall that addresses this exact problem; however, upon taking my Chevy Equinox to my local Chevy dealership, I discovered that my VIN is not on the list for this repair. The coincidence that my car falls in the category of vehicles included for this recall (Bulletin No.: 09298C), but is not included is confusing, to say the least. There were no warning lamps or messages prior to this failure that began in 2019.

I have a 2.4 ltr Chevy equinox and the engine went out at 140000miles, no warning symbol. Left me stranded in the middle of nowhere, two days after being stuck in a rain storm, when I found out my wipers died.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the front windshield wipers became inoperable. The contact's wife was driving at night while it was raining. The contact stated that after inspecting and researching the cause of the failure, he discovered that a failure with the windshield wiper transmission assembly. The contact became aware that the windshield wiper transmission assembly needed to be replaced. The contact stated that he would repair the vehicle himself. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,011.

Mileage: 100,011

while driving in a rain storm my wipers stopped working. Had to move from 3 lanes of traffic to the side of the road with zero visibility out of my front windshield. Wipers had no power, windshield wiper module failed.

My windshield wipers quit working while it was raining. Preventing me from being able to see the road and other vehicles on the road.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED DURING A HAIL STORM, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ACTIVATED ON HIGH SETTING HOWEVER, AFTER WIPING UP AND DOWN TWICE, THE WIPERS BECAME INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT TONY DIVINO TOYOTA (777 W RIVERDALE RD, RIVERDALE, UT 84405) HAD REPAIRED THE WIPER BLADES A YEAR PRIOR HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000.

I'VE HAD COUNTLESS ISSUES FROM THIS VEHICLE SINCE I'VE GOTTEN IT BETWEEN A CONSTANT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAVING TO REPLACE ALL THE SENSORS AND IT GOES AWAY OR OIL LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS I STAY PUTTING OIL IN IT TWICE A WEEK AS OF THE PAST FEW DAYS I WAS COMING HOME FROM TAKING MY BROTHER TO KARATE AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT START FLASHING IN MY STABILITY TRACK CAME ON AND DUE TO THE OIL LEAK IT CAUSE MY ENGINE TO CRACK A RING SO NOW MY VEHICLE IS BASICALLY TOTALED ITS HEARTBREAKING CUZ THE AMOUNT OF MONEY AND REPAIRS ARE PUT INTO IT IT'S BEEN ONE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CAR TO ANYBODY

Mileage: 170,000

I'VE TAKEN MY EQUINOX TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND NO ONE EVER TOLD ME ANYTHING ABOUT IT . MY VEHICLE USES AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF ENGINE OIL AFTER . MY OIL CHANGES HAVE TO BE EVERY 3 WEEKS. . WHEN TURNING ON MY VEHICLE IT SOUNDS LIKE A TRACTOR IS READY TO GO. I HAVE A SMALL SUV THAT I KNOW NEVER MADE THAT LOUD NOISE.

I RECENTLY FOUND MY SON'S DEFROST WAS NOT WORKING ON HIS 2010 EQUINOX. AS I WAS SEARCHING FOR TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION, I FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE HOWEVER MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL. MY ASSUMPTION IS THEY DID NTO ACCURATELY BOOKEND THIS ISSUE.

Mileage: 115,000

WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING AND I PUT THE HEAT OR DEFROSTER ON POPPING NOISES COMING FROM CONTROL SYSTEM AND THEN IT CHANGES FROM HEAT TO COOL OR COLD AIR. I HAVE TO PLAY WITH THE SYSTEM SWITCHING BACK AN FORTH FROM A/C TO HEAT TO SOMETIMES TO GET THE HEAT BACK ON. SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT COME BACK . IT STARTED IN DECEMBER OF 2016 AN CONTINUES TILL PRESENT DATE. THE NHTSA COMPLAINT #09V49800 GM CHEVROLET IS SAYING 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX ARE NOT INCLUDED. BUT CAR HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THEIR RECALL.

Mileage: 30,000

IN 2016 THE DEFROSTER, DEFOGGER,HAVC SYSTEM STARTED TO MAKING POPPING NOISES WHICH WOULD THEN SWITCH THE HEAT TO COLD AIR. TO GET THE THE SYSTEM TO PROVIDE HEAT IN THE VEHICLE YOU HAVE TO PLAY WITH THE BUTTONS GOING BACK AN FORTH HEAT TO A/C. IF YOUR LUCKY YOU WILL GET THE HEAT BACK ON. IT ALSO AFFECTS THE ILLUMINATION OF THE DASH AND RADIO LIGHTING. IT IS A TREMENDOUS SAFETY HAZARD IN THE WINTER TO NOT HAVE HEAT FOR THE DEFROSTERS AN HEAT FOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. IT CONTINUES TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM.

THE OTHER DAY IT WAS RAINING SLIGHTLY AND I WAS AT MY FRIENDS HOUSE. LATER WHEN I LEFT IT WAS RAINING HARDER SO I WAS USING MY WIPERS AND WHEN I HAD GOTTEN 5 MINS DOWN THE ROAD MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AND IT CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE A THING. WHEN THAT HAPPENED I HIT SOMETHING AND WAS IN THE GRASS A BIT. NOW I HAVE A CHUNK OF MY BUMPER GONE AND A HEADLIGHT OUT CAUSE OF WHAT I HIT. WHICH I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS I HIT. NOW MY WIPERS DON'T WORK, A CHUNK OF MY BUMPER IS GONE, AS WELL AS SOME PLASTIC UNDER MY CAR CAME OFF. *TR

NO DEFROST/HEAT. ALL ELECTRONICS TURN OFF IT DOES NOT MATTER HIGHWAY/CITY. WHEN TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGES DASH WILL CUT OFF AND I HAVE TO RESTART. I HAVE HAD MY CAR JUST LOSE POWER FOR NO REASON HIGHWAY OR CITY. THIS THING IS NOT SAFE! I KNOW THE DATE STATES 12/31/2019. HOWEVER I HAVE DEALING WITH THIS SINCE I GOT THIS THING. *TR

MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE JUST STOPPED WORKING. YOU CAN HEAR THE MOTOR RUNNING BUT THEY DO NOT MOVE. I HAVE READ THAT THE 2013 THROUGH 2019 HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM. THEY JUST STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE POURING RAIN. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THIS PROBLEM. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. WHY ARE THEY NOT FIXING THE 2010-2013 MODELS? I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD PAY TO HAVE THIS FIXED. ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO LOSE THEIR LIFE BEFORE THEY ADD THESE OTHER CARS TO THIS RECALL! PLEASE GET BACK TO ME AS TO WHAT I SHOULD DO. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS NOW. I NEED MY CAR!!!

CAR WILL STOP AFTER PRESSING THE BREAK. WIPERS NO LONGER WORK. NOW CAR WON'T START DUE TO TIMING BELT

ON 1/16/20, I USED MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO CLEAR SNOW OFF OF MY WINDSHIELD WHILE THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. IT WIPED CORRECTLY A FEW TIMES, BUT ON THE FOURTH WIPE, I HEARD A 'THWACK' TYPE OF NOISE, AND THE WIPERS STOPPED IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION BY THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I TRIED TO TURN THE WIPERS ON AGAIN, BUT THEY WOULD NOT MOVE. I MANUALLY PUSHED THE WIPERS DOWN INTO THE RESTING POSITION, AND THEN TRIED TO TURN THE WIPERS ON AGAIN. THEY STILL WOULDN'T MOVE. I HAVE TRIED TURNING THE WIPERS ON EACH DAY SINCE THE 16TH, AND EACH TIME, THE WIPERS WILL NOT MOVE. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE.

FEBRUARY 2018 BOTH OF MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF A STORM AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. I TOOK MY CAR TO PEP BOYS AND THEY ORDERED THE PARTS TO REPLACE IN ORDER FOR MY WIPERS TO WORK AGAIN. HERE I AM IN DECEMBER 2019 ALMOST TWO YEARS LATER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE WIPERS IN THIS VEHICLE ARE DEFECTIVE AND SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY GOING TO GET INJURED OR KILLED IF THEY DO NOT RECALL THE WIPERS FOR FAULTY MOTORS THAT WILL QUIT WORKING AT ANY TIME. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IF IT WILL POSSIBLY RAIN BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO PUT MY KIDS OR MY LIFE IN DANGER. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AND GM NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS HUGE ISSUE!

I WAS FORCED TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY DUE TO ZERO VISIBILITY. THIS SUDDEN/IMMEDIATE PULL OVER ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT ANOTHER CAR THAT WAS MERGING INTO THE TURNING LANE. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, THE PROBLEM IS BELIEVED TO BE THE WIPE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY AS THE ACTUAL WIPER FUSES AND MOTOR IS STILL IN FUNCTIONING ORDER. A NEW WIPER TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY WAS PURCHASED AS RECCOMENDED

Mileage: 159,000

WHILE THE WIPERS WERE IN THE FASTEST MODE THEY SUDDENLY STOPPED MOVING AND THEY WOULD NOT LOWER BACK INTO POSITION. I CAN'T GET THE WIPERS TO OPERATE AT ALL. I CAN'T OPERATE THE VEHICLE IF IT'S RAINING BECAUSE I CAN'T WIPE THE RAIN OFF.

WINDSHIELD TAKES UP TO HALF AN HOUR TO DEFROST WHEN FIRST STARTED IN COLD WEATHER. I HAVE TO MANUALLY WIPE OFF THE INSIDE WINDSHIELD A FEW TIMES SO THAT I CAN DRIVE TO WORK. WINDSHIELD WILL FOG UP WHILE DRIVING IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS, SUCH AS RAIN, ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS MORE THAN ONE PERSON IN THE VEHICLE, AND IT WILL TAKE TOO LONG TO DEFOG, LIMITING VISIBILITY. WHEN THE HEAT IS ON FOR LONG PERIODS, THE RADIO OVERHEATS AND STOPS WORKING PROPERLY. HEAT CONTINUES TO COME OUT OF THE VENTS EVEN WHEN IT IS TURNED OFF. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON MAY 21, 2016.

I HAVE HAD TWO INCIDENTS OF WIPER FAILURE ON MY USED 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX. I JUST PURCHASED MY USED EQUINOX THE END OF AUGUST 2018. IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE, I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 95 IN MARYLAND, AND THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING DURING A RAIN INCIDENT. FORTUNATELY I MADE IT HOME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY SAID THEY REPAIRED THE BUSHINGS ON THE LINKAGE. THE 2ND INCIDENT HAPPENED IN NOVEMBER OF 2018 DURING A SNOW INCIDENT. MY WIFE WAS USING THE EQUINOX TO DRIVE TO THE BANK. IT WAS SNOWING AND SHE WAS USING THE WIPERS. AGAIN THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING! SHE WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME AND PARK IT SAFELY IN THE DRIVEWAY. WHEN SHE BROUGHT IT HOME, I WAS ABLE TO HEAR THE WIPER MOTOR WORKING, BUT THE ARMS WERE NOT MOVING. WE HAVE NOT USED THE VEHICLE SINCE THIS LAST INCIDENT HAPPENED. WE HAVE HAD TWO WIPER LINKAGE FAILURE INCIDENTS IN APPROX. 3 MONTHS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE WOULD HAVE DONE IF WE WERE ON A LONG FAMILY TRIP. IT IS VERY SCARY WHEN YOUR WIPERS STOP WORKING AND YOU CANNOT SEE THE ROAD YOU ARE DRIVING ON, OR TRAFFIC AROUND YOU.

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.

HE SAID THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT A RECALL WAS LIKELY BUT THAT CHEVY WAS DRAGGING THEIR FEED. I UNDERSTAND THEY HAVE ISSUED THE RECALL IN CANADA. THE WIPERS FAILED WITHOUT WARNING DURING A MAJOR RAIN STORM, CREATING A VERY REAL SAFETY HAZARD AS I DROVE WITH YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR.

WHILE DRIVING DURING A RAINSTORM THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. CHECKED THE FUSES, BUT ALL FUSES WERE GOOD. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID WAS WORKING BUT NOT THE WIPERS THEMSELVES. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE BACK HOME TOOK A LOOK AT THE WIPER ASSEMBLY AND ONE OF THE BUSHINGS BROKE OFF. HAD TO REPLACE THE BUSHING TO GET THE WIPERS TO WORK AGAIN.

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK. IT STARTED TO RAIN, SO I TURNED ON THE WIPERS, AND THEY SWIPED A FEW TIMES AND STUCK IN THE UPWARD LEFT POSITION AND STOPPED. I WAS ON A STATE HIGHWAY, AT THE TIME, AND FOUND IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE TO DRIVE. THE WIPERS HAVE NOT WORKED SINCE THAT DAY. UPON CHECKING ONLINE, I'VE FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND HAPPENS TO OTHERS EXACTLY THE SAME WAY IT HAPPENED WITH MY WIPERS. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CANADIAN MODEL FOR 2013, BUT HAVE NOT FOUND ONE FOR 2010 AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON ALL OF THE WIPERS FOR THIS MODEL. THE ARMS ON THE TRANSMISSION COME APART AND STOPS THE WIPERS FROM WORKING. NO WARNING......THEY JUST STOP. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. AND TO ADD TO THE PROBLEM...... TO REPAIR IT, THE MORE APPROPRIATE OPTION IS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION/MOTOR ASSEMBLY AND THAT PART IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE, AROUND $300.

2010 CHEVY EQUINOX LTZ WINDSHIELD FAILURE! WEDNESDAY NIGHT, MAY 2, 2018, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE FOUR WINDS CASINO, SOUTH BEND, IN, IT WAS POURING DOWN RAIN...WHEN I GOT INTO MISHAWAKA, IN, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED AND LODGED TO THE LEFT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE! I GOT OUT OF THE CAR, PUSHED THE WIPERS BACK DOWN IN THERE PROPER PLACE AND I COULD HEAR THE MOTOR RUNNING! I GOT BACK INTO THE CAR AND TURNED ON THE WIPERS SEVERAL TIMES, THEY WOULD NOT BUDGE...I TOOK THE EQUINOX INTO BASNEY HONDA ON THURSDAY, MAY 3, 2018 AND THEY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THEY TOLD ME THE WINDSHIELD MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED! I BOUGHT THIS SUV IN MARCH FROM BASNEY HONDA! I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND PROBLEMS ALREADY? THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, PLUS, THE COST OF REPAIR! TOTAL COST= $453.43. ALSO, MY RESEARCH SHOWS MANY RECALLS ON THIS SAME ISSUE BY GM! MANY COMPLAINTS BY CONSUMERS! WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING, AND WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED? NO WONDER NO ONE WANTS TO BUY A CHEVY! WHEN I PURCHASED MY 2002 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA USED IN 2010, IT WAS YEARS BEFORE I HAD ANY REPAIRS! NEVER A WINDSHIELD ISSUE LIKE THIS...NEVER! I THOUGHT I HAD MADE A GOOD CHOICE BUYING THIS CHEVY EQUINOX SUV, LIKING IT A LOT, BUT, NOW, I AM LOOKING TO GET ANOTHER TOYOTA, HONDA, NISSAN OR MAZDA AND TRADE THIS ONE IN! I HAVE CALLED A CERTIFIED CHEVY DEALER TO HAVE AN INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSTIC DONE ON THURSDAY, MAY 10, 2018. AFTER THAT, I WILL CALL THE CHEVY RECALL NUMBER FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE! THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD! I COULD NOT SEE! I COULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT AND RAN OFF THE ROAD, OR WORSE YET, BEEN KILLED OR KILLED SOMEONE ELSE! I HOPE I CAN GET REIMBURSED THE COST OF THIS REPAIR!

ALSO IT HAPPEN WITH MY HUSBAND AND 2 SMALL CHILDREN IN MY CAR AGAIN IN THE RAIN. I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY DUE TO THE WIPERS BECOMING INOPERATIVE AT THE TIME THEY ARE NEEDED MOST. I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE CHEVY EQUINOX (UNSURE OF THE YEAR OF THESE) THAT HAVE HAD THIS HAPPENED, PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH THEIR WIPERS STUCK UP ON THE WINDSHIELD.

AS WE WERE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET IN A TORRENTIAL RAIN STORM, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. I PULLED OVER TO A SIDE ROAD, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON, AND THEY STILL DID NOT WORK. I PUSHED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER LEVER AND THEY WOULD NOT MOVE. I WAS ON VACATION AT THE TIME AND LUCKILY FOUND A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP NEARBY. THEY DIAGNOSED THE CONDITION ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AS CORROSION TO THE FRONT WIPER TRANSMISSION. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID IT WAS EASY TO DIAGNOSE BECAUSE THEY HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE HAPPEN ON MANY CHEVROLET EQUINOX CARS. HE LOOKED UP RECALL INFORMATION AND THIS EXACT PROBLEM IS CURRENTLY RECALLED ONLY ON A 2013 CHEVROLET EQUINOX (CHEVROLET RECALL REFERENCE #25302). SINCE I HAVE A 2010 EQUINOX, I HAD TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR OUT OF POCKET FOR $240.80. THE DEALERSHIP SAID I WOULD HAVE A GOOD CASE TRYING TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THIS, SINCE IT IS AN EXACT PROBLEM HE HAS SEEN MANY TIMES AND IS CURRENTLY ON A RECALL FOR A DIFFERENT YEAR EQUINOX. I JUST CALLED CHEVROLET'S RECALL DEPARTMENT, AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, BECAUSE THEY CAN ONLY APPROVE REIMBURSEMENT FOR ACTIVE RECALLS, WHICH IS BASED ON THE VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER. IF AND WHEN A RECALL FOR A 2010 EQUINOX HAPPENS, THEN I WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT. I AM FILLING OUT THIS REPORT, BECAUSE YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT IS CURRENTLY RECALLED ON A 2013 CHEVY EQUINOX, AND DESERVES TO BE LOOKED INTO FOR THE 2010 EQUINOX AS WELL.

WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH THE WIPERS SUDDENLY JERKED LEFT AND STOPPED WORKING. ONE WIPER WAS OFF THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND THE OTHER WAS STOPPED IN FRONT OF MY FACE. VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE NOT ONLY WAS THERE RAIN POURING DOWN, THERE WAS A WIPER RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME BLOCKING MY VIEW. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND MOVE THE WIPERS TO THEIR NORMAL OFF POSITION BUT THEY NO LONGER FUNCTIONED. A NEW WIPER TRANSMISSION WAS REQUIRED. THE US RECALL FOR 2013 ONLY NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO MATCH THE RECALL IN CANADA. DEFINITELY A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!

LET ME START OFF BY SAYING THAT I AM ONE OF MANY HAVING THE SAME TROUBLE WITH MY 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX. ON JAN. 21, 2015 I WAS HIT BY A YOUNG DRIVER TOTALING MY 2002 S10 CREW CAB. I FEEL THIS TRUCK SAVED MY LIFE. IN NEED OF A SAFE VEHICLE I FOUND MYSELF AT BOWMAN CHEVROLET PURCHASING A CERTIFIED 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX WITH LESS THAN 41000 MILES. AT THAT TIME I RECEIVED 24 MONTHS OF OIL CHANGES/ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PLUS ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE AND BUMPER TO BUMPER FOR 12MONTHS. THIS VEHICLE SEEMED GREAT TILL MY FIRST OIL CHANGE AND MAINTENANCE. IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE SERVICED. I APPARENTLY BOUGHT A CANADIAN VEHICLE. CALLED BOWMAN ABOUT THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT BACK TO THEM ( OVER AN HR FROM HOME) AT THIS TIME I MENTIONED A FEW THINGS I FELT WERE ISSUES (MY CAR WOULD RUN ON AFTER SHUT OFF, WOULD ROLL BACKWARDS IN DRIVE AND SHIFTING WOULD PAUSE BETWEEN GEARS). ABOUT A MONTH LATER I GOT MY CAR BACK, NEW DASHBOARD WITH A FEW SCRATCHES AND A GOOD CHIP IN THE WINDSHIELD. WASN'T HAPPY BUT THEY SAID ALL WAS GOOD. UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I HAD TO TAKE IT IN, STILL HAVING RUN ONS WHEN I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND SHIFTING PROBLEMS ALONG WITH A FEW MINOR THINGS( I WAS TOLD WAS NOT COVERED BUT SHOULD HAVE BEEN STILL UNDER WHAT I WAS PROMISED BY THE 12 MONTHS BUMPER TO BUMPER) OVER THE NEXT 21 MONTHS OF MY WARRANTIES I CONTINUED TO HAVE MANY ISSUES WITH MY CAR. NEVER FULLY FIXED EACH TIME I TOOK IT IN AND BEING TOLD MANY TIMES THEY WONT DO THE RECALLS BECAUSE ITS ON A CANADIAN CAR NOT MY NOW AMERICAN CAR. ON JULY 13, 2017 DRIVING ON 96 IN CONSTRUCTION AND RUSH HR TRAFFIC WITH MY GRANDSON THE TRANSMISSION WAS LOSING GEARS AT ONE POINT THE CAR STOPPED ABRUPTLY. WE BARELY MADE IT HOME! DROVE IT TO DEALER NEXT MORNING ONLY HAD 1ST GEAR. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. HELP US ALL!

DRIVER FOUND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT THE FRONT WINDOW OR ACCURATELY DETERMINE WHERE HE WAS ON THE ROAD OTHER THAN TO GUESS BY DISTANCE FROM THE LEFT BARRIER. TRAFFIC WAS VERY HEAVY WITH TRAILER TRUCKS PASSING ON LEFT EXTREMELY CLOSE. EMERGENCY FLASHERS WERE ACTIVATED AND SPEED DROPPED TO A CRAWL WITH FEAR OF A CHAIN REACTION ACCIDENT FROM REAR. PASSENGER LEANED OUT RIGHT SIDE WINDOW AND GAVE GUIDANCE TO DRIVER AS TO DISTANCE FROM RIGHT SIDE BARRIER AND DIRECTIONAL ADJUSTMENTS UNTIL VEHICLE FINALLY REACHED AN EMERGENCY PULL OFF AREA.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 290 (NY), A HEAVY RAINFALL STARTED. DRIVER PUT WIPERS TO HIGH SPEED AND WIPERS STOPPED FUNCTIONING. WIPERS WERE AT THE END OF THE WIPE SWEEP. DRIVER WAS ABLE, DUE TO THE PRIOR USE OF "RAIN-X" TO SEE TO EXIT THE ROAD. WIPERS DID NOT REGAIN FUNCTIONALITY, AFTER VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND WIPERS WERE ATTEMPTED TO BE USED AGAIN. DRIVER IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE, TOP BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR STUCK AT COOLING POSITION PREVENTING THE DEFROST TO WORK. I COULD NOT SEE AND ALMOST HAD A WRECK. ESTIMATED REPAIR COST IS $600 AS YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE WHOLE DASH APART TO GET TO THE ACTUATOR. I THINK THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED AS THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF DEFECTIVE GMC EQUINOX AND TERRAIN ACTUATOR ISSUES ON THE WEB. IF YOU CAN SEE OUT THE WINDOW AS THE DEFROST IS STUCK ON COOL YOU COULD HAVE A WRECK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

GOOD AFTERNOON. I PURCHASED A 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX ON JANUARY 7TH, 2014. THE DEFROSTER AND THE VENTS ARE NOT WORKING. THE DEFROSTER DELAYS OR DOES NOT COME ON AT ALL. I RESEARCHED RECALLS ON THE CHEVY EQUINOX AND FOUND THAT MY PROBLEMS ARE THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT FALL UNDER THE 09298 RECALL WHICH STATES: "BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DEFECT MFG. CAMPAIGN NO. 090298 ? COMPUTER MODULE/FMVSS 101 & 103. DOM: 2/09-11/09. VEHICLES FAIL TO MEET FMVSS 101 AND FMVSS 103. SOFTWARE IN CENTER INSTRUMENT PANEL CAN CAUSE HEATING, AIR CONDITIONING, DEFROST, AND RADIO CONTROLS, AS WELL AS PANEL ILLUMINATION TO BECOME INOPERATIVE. DRIVING WITHOUT FUNCTIONING DEFROST SYSTEM CAN DECREASE VISIBILITY AND COULD RESULT IN CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. CORRECT BY REPLACING COMPUTER MODULE IN CENTER INSTRUMENT PANEL" MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL, BUT IT IS THE EXACT PROBLEM I AM HAVING. THE COMPUTER MODULE IS BAD. WOULD YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW IF THERE IS A WAY TO GET THIS CAR FIXED UNDER THE WARRANTY? I BELIEVE MY VIN SHOULD BE INCLUDED, BUT NO ONE AT CHEVROLET WILL HELP ME WITHOUT CHARGING ME A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY. I WOULDN'T MIND IF THE VENTS WEREN'T WORKING, BUT THE DEFROSTER NEEDS TO WORK AND IT ISN'T A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE. I JUST THOUGHT I WOULD REACH OUT TO YOU TO SEE IF YOU MIGHT HAVE A BETTER SOLUTION THEN THE RUN AROUND I AM GETTING FROM GM. IF YOU COULD BE CONTACT ME, I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT! I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY! [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY WINDOWS BECAME FOGGED. I TURNED ON MY DEFROSTER AND THE REAR WORKED, HOWEVER THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WOULD NOT CLEAR. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I REALIZED NO AIR WAS COMING OUT OF THE FRONT DASH VENTS. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR 3 MONTHS AGO IT WORKED. THE HEAT AND AC WORK BUT THE VENTS DON'T CHANGE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE WIPERS STOPPED FUNCTIONING MAKING IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE CENTER CONSOLE DISPLAY, RADIO AND HEATER CONTROLS, WENT OFF AND STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT BY THE DEALER AND THEY TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG. THEY ALSO TELL ME THERE IS NO RECALL ON ANY EQUINOX FOR THESE ISSUES EVEN AFTER I RECOMMENDED THEM TO LOOK AT YOUR SITE. THEY TOLD ME TO "STOP LOOKING AT THE INTERNET FOR INFORMATION BECAUSE IT IS NO GOOD AND THAT PEOPLE DO NOTHING BUT COMPLAIN ON THE INTERNET." I CALLED THE GM CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER TO EXPLAIN THAT TO THEM AND THEY RECOMMENDED ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA TO MAKE IT KNOWN THAT MY CAR IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALLED CARS TO POSSIBLY GET IT ADDED TO THE RECALL. I AM NOT ONLY DOING THIS BECAUSE THEY RECOMMENDED ME TO, BUT BECAUSE MY FAMILY IS AT A SAFETY RISK DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND GM DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE. THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS ISSUE SINCE THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE THAT ARE IN THE SAME BOAT AS I AM WITHOUT BEING COVERED BY THE RECALL. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX ON 4/1/2013. I HAVE SINCE HAD A FEW ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE TIMING BELT REPLACED DUE TO KNOCKING IN THE ENGINE. I THANK THE GOOD LORD THAT IT WAS UNDER A RECALL. I HAVE ALSO BEEN EXPERIENCING OIL LOSS. I HAVE MY OIL CHANGED ON A REGULAR BASIS AND IT HAS BEEN USING OIL BETWEEN THOSE CHANGES. THE LAST TIME I HAD IT CHANGED, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO OIL ON THE DIP STICK WHEN THEY CHECKED IT PRIOR TO DOING THE CHANGE. I HAVE ALSO GONE WITHOUT A DEFROSTER AS WELL. HAVEN'T THOUGHT MUCH ABOUT IT SINCE I HAVEN'T NEEDED IT YET BUT NOW THE WEATHER IS CHANGING AND I KNOW I AM GOING TO NEED IT REAL SOON. BUT GUESS WHAT. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A RECALL ON THAT, MINE DOESN'T FALL UNDER THAT RECALL. I F THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, YOU WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE COVERED NO MATTER. IT ISN'T MY FAULT THAT IT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. SO, RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS I AM GOING TO HAVE TO SHELL OUT OVER $400 TO GET THIS FIXED SO THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO SEE OUT OF MY FRONT WINDSHIELD. I GUESS IT IS MY FAULT THAT I HAVE WAITED TILL NOW TO WORRY WITH IT. I AM ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH MY DASH LIGHTS GOING IN AND OUT AND MY AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. THERE SHOULD NOT BE THAT MANY ISSUES WITH ONE VEHICLE. *TR

THE DEFROST ON MY EQUINOX DOES NOT CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD BUT CAUSES WORSE CONDITIONS WHEN IT IS TURNED ON MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE. I HAVE TO KEEP MY WINDOWS DOWN AND STICK MY HEAD OUT OF THE WINDOWS TO SEE IN COLD WEATHER. I AM TOLD THAT MY EQUINOX DOES NOT FALL UNDER RECALL # 09298. THIS IS AN EXTREME HAZARD! *TR
