It burns oil excessively Stalls out while driving Stability traction control comes on Timing chain has to be replaced now Fuel pump needs replacement All this happened at same time My cost is 2700.00

Trouble code p2138. Replaced accelerator pedal with OEM. Trouble code still persists. Car goes into limp mode while driving posing a safety concern. There is a TSB 07-06-04-019F. Other codes include p0301 and p0697. After limp mode I have to pull over and turn car completely off and crank it up again to get out of it.

The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, he noticed smoke coming from underneath the hood. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact pulled into a business parking lot. The contact stated that he opened the hood and noticed the engine compartment had caught fire. Additionally, the contact stated that the battery was burned and was bubbly. The contact was able to extinguish the fire with water bottles. A fire department report and a police report were not filed. The contact sustained a minor burn on the right hand and did not receive medical assistance. The vehicle was towed to the residence of the contact's parents. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 185,000.

Just got a 2011 Chevrolet Equinox from a dealership that I trusted. Only had a few weeks and it just stalled on me while driving in traffic!!! 😱 Would not start back ! It was terrifying!!! Thank God it wasn’t rush hour! A nice man helped push it out of road into a parking lot! Now I find out there are safety issues and recalls that I was not aware of! Faulty oil piston rings caused it to jump time! They want over 7,000$ to fix but I do not have that kind of money!!!Its a death trap and shouldn’t have been allowed to re sale!!!

Stalling and stopping completely while coming to a stop. New muffler put in, still stalling! - I drive daily with my two children under five and the risk of my truck stopping completely while driving is my biggest safety concern for both my children and I!

The windshield wipers and yes, available at anytime for inspection. I was traveling Hwy 80 and the wipers stopped working completely in a downpour of rain at 70 mph. I could not see and could not even follow the rear taillights in front of me to stay in my lane. I put my right blinker on and slowly moved to the slow lane in order to take the next exit off the highway. Had to travel over the highway on the overpass and needed to turn right. Couldn’t see detail so ended up running over yellow barriers then made it to the right turn and was barely able to make out a driveway which was a Starbucks. Stopped to confirm wipers would not work and to move wipers by hand to clear windshield. Every 4 or 5 blocks had to stop and get out to physically move wipers by hand to clear rain water from windshield in order to drive further. It was so dangerous, I could of easily caused accidents for others and myself and also could have been fatal! Next time you’re on the highway, close your eyes and keep driving-it was the same and scared me to the point that I was shaking!!! Thank God I didn’t have my grandkids with me!!

The key can be removed although drivetrain is not in Park? Also, a week ago while picking up my grandkids from school, my car would not start. It was parked. Everything was dead and the key could not be removed from the ignition which was quite odd even if it was a dead battery, the key should come out of the ignition? It was in Park. The key could be turned but not taken out of ignition?

After purchasing the vehicle . The vehicle starting malfunctioning. From going into 0rmp to shutting back on after turn the vehicle off. Upon utilizing cruis control the vehicle automatically speeds without pressing the set miles .

My brakes went to the floor going 55 then they got really hard to press almost wrecked had to get towed! Then after that the suspension felt really loose

CAR KEEPS DYING WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, STOP SIGNS, STOP LIGHTS ECT. IDLES VERY ROUGHY, AND IS VERY LOUD. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON.

FIRST TIME: MARCH 21 - NJ TURNPIKE. CAR "STABILITRAK ICON" AND SERVICE STABILITRAK" MSG & "TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR" LIGHT, THEN "BRAKE ICON" AND "ABS ICON" WITH "SERVICE POWER STEERING" MSG, THEN "SERVICE ALL WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM" MSG - ALL WHILE THE ICONS ARE ON - CAR LOST ALL POWER. CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NJ TURNPIKE AT ALMOST EXIT 18E/W. HAD VEHICLE TOWED, TOOK FIRST TO FIRESTONE A DAY LATER, THE FOUND A CODE THEY SAID NEEDED THE CHEVY COMPUTERS (P069E, U0073, D1231) - TOOK TO CHEVY A WEEK LATER (BELLAVIA CHEVY, RUTHERFORD, NJ), DEALER SAID THEY FOUND NO CODES - COULD BE THE BATTERY. WE CLEANED THE PORTS, CHANGED THE BATTERY. HAD NEW TIRES INSTALLED AT FIRESTONE ON 4/9. 4/9 PICKED UP THE CAR, THIS TIME DRIVING FROM NORTHERN NJ TO BROOKLYN AND THE EXACT SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN, ONLY THIS TIME, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VERRIZANO BRIDGE IN STATEN ISLAND. ALL THE SAME LIGHTS / SYMPTOMS AS ABOVE, LOST ALL POWER. MANAGED TO GET OFF AT THE 92ND STREET EXIT AND INTO A PARKING SPACE - TOWED TO PARENTS HOUSE IN BROOKLYN, MADE APPT W/ CHEVY DEALER FOR MONDAY 4/12 (BAY RIDGE CHEVROLET OF BROOKLYN). VEHICLE IS NOW WITH THEM, AWAITING DIAGNOSTIC - THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND FOR THE FIRST DEALER TO NOT BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE / GET A CODE AND THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN. I'M NOW OVER 500.00 IN DIAGNOSTICS FEES THAT DID NOT FIX ANYTHING. BOTH TIMES WERE HIGHWAY DRIVING, WEATHER CONDITIONS WE GOOD BOTH DAYS.

1) SEATBELT LIGHT COMES ON DESPITE HAVING SEATBELTS SECURED. IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU START THE CAR AND STAYS ON THROUGHOUT ALL ASPECTS OF DRIVING UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. 2) SERVICE STABILITRAC LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY FLICKERS ON AND OFF WHILE THE RADIO FLICKERS OFF AND ON, AS THOUGH THE VEHICLE WERE POSSESSED. 3) THE PREVIOUS ENGINE CONSUMED EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. IT RESULTED IN THE PREVIOUS ENGINE BEING REPLACED A FEW MONTHS AGO. NEW ENGINE IS BURNING OIL JUST AS FAST AS THE OLD ONE. WITHING ONE MONTH THE DIPSTICK WAS REGISTERING AS BELOW THE BOTTOM LINE WITH 2 MONTHS AND APPROXIMATELY 3K MILES LEFT BEFORE NEXT SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE, PER JIFFY LUBE'S STICKER.

AT RED LIGHT,MY CAR CUT OUT. WOULDN'T TURN OVER. HAD IT TOWED AND MY MECHANIC SAID IT WAS TIMING CHAINS, WHICH AFFECTED ENGINE. CHECKED 8 OF 16 VALVES THAT WERE BENT, ALONG W/8 ROCKER ARMS CRACKED AND TORN OFF. $4000 TO FIX THIS ISSUE, MONEY I DO NOT HAVE.

A FEW DAYS AGO AFTER WORK I STOPPED FOR GAS AND TOOK A DIFFERENT ROUTE HOME. I LIVE IN A CITY WITH TRAFFIC SO I IDLE A LOT. WHILE STOPPED, MY 'SERVICE STABILITRAK' AND 'ENGINE POWER REDUCED' CAME ON. THERE WAS NO WHERE I COULD GO BUT UP THE EXPRESSWAY. ONCE I SPED UP, THE CAR PROCEEDED TO TURN OFF. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER ON TOP OF THE EXPRESSWAY. AFTER THAT, THE CAR WOULDN'T TURN ON ANYMORE. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES, EVERYTHING STARTED FLICKERING AND THEN IT HAD NO ELECTRICITY RUNNING AT ALL. NOT EVEN MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS. THIS WAS REALLY SCARY BECAUSE PPL ARE DRIVING REALLY FAST NEXT TO ME AND AND IT WAS ALREADY NIGHT TIME. I FINALLY GOT HELP AND HAD IT TOWED THE NEXT MORNING. THE KEY WAS STUCK IN THE IGNITION BUT STILL NO SIGN OF LIFE UNTIL AFTER IT WAS TOWED. I CAN'T AFFORD TO TAKE IT IN JUST YET BUT I AM EXTREMELY SCARED TO DRIVE IT AS I AM A SINGLE PARENT WITH NO FAMILY IN THIS NEW CITY.

THE CENTER INFOTAINMENT THAT CONTAINS THE RADIO/CD/NAVIGATION, PHONE CONTROL, AIR CONDITIONER, TIME IS REALLY MESSED UP. IT NO LONGER HOLDS TIME. THE RADIO WORKS SOMETIMES AND OTHER TIMES NOT. THE SAME FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER. SOMETIMES THE NAVIGATION BELIEVES I AM IN A STATE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COUNTRY. I HAVE TAKEN TO CHEVROLET ASKING FOR THEM TO FIX IT. THEY SAID IT CANNOT BE FIXED, ONLY REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THE REPLACEMENT ALONE (THE PART ONLY FOR MY MODEL CAR) IS $10,000. MY CAR IS NOT EVEN WORTH $10,000 ANYMORE. WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU PUT SUCH A PRICEY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT IN A CAR THAT CANNOT BE FIXED? YOU HAVE PUT ME IN A POSITION OF BEING STUCK WITH A CAR I ABSOLUTELY HATE BECAUSE THE MESSED UP ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM AND ONE THAT I CANNOT POSSIBLY TRADE IN. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED OR YOU NEED TO BUY THIS PIECE OF CRAP CAR BACK. THIS IS NOT FAIR TO A CONSUMER WHO WORKS HARD FOR THEIR MONEY. THE 10,000 PART DOES NOT EVEN INCLUDE THE LABOR COSTS I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT PUT IN. I HAVE BEEN TOTALLY SCREWED IN THIS DEAL.

IN JAN 5 2016 MY 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX MILEAGE 56747 WOULD JUST STALL WITHOUT WARNING AND I HAD NO CONTROL OF STEERING. DRIVING ON THE HWY IT JUST KILLED AND STARTED BUT DIDN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE AGAIN THEN STALLED AGAIN COULDN'T STEER. GOT IT TO RAY CHEVROLET IT WAS MY CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR SOLENOID VALVE IN SEPT.2016 MILEAGE 80584 I HAD IT TOWED AGAIN AND IT WAS THE CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR SOLENOID VALVES AND IT BURNT MY ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT AKA COMPUTER WHICH COST ME $800.00. SKIPPING FORWARD BUT NOT WITHOUT PROBLEMS THERE ARE MANY. AUG. 2019, I AM HAVING TO CHANGE CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR SOLENOID VALVES AGAIN DO TO STALLING ON THE ROAD WHILE I'M DRIVING NOT BEING ABLE TO STEER FOR THE THIRD TIME. IT'S SO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITHOUT WARNING IT WILL KILL ON YOU FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS. THEN I WENT CHANGE MY OIL LIKE CLOCK WORK AND WAS TOLD I HAVE A VALVE COVER GASKET LEAK TO GO WITH THE SOLENOID PROBLEM. IT'S SO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE DUE TO THE FACT IT WILL STALL AT ANYTIME. IN AUG. 2019 MY PRESSURE SENSOR FOR MY RIGHT TIRE WENT OUT. NOW I CAN'T GET IT TO RESET AND MECHANIC TRIED AND SAID SENSOR NEEDS TO BE CHANGED REALLY. I CAN'T TELL IF I HAVE A LOW TIRE IT JUST SHOWS BLANK LINE ON ALL TIRES. NOW MY ACTUATOR BEND DOOR BROKE ON DEFROST AND IT'S HOT IN LOUISIANA. ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET TO. THIS CAR NEEDS A RECALL REALLY BAD. THERE IS NEVER A TIME WHERE THE CAR JUST RAN GOOD WITH NO TROUBLE. THINGS THAT BROKE ON THIS CAR ARE LISTED BELOW. AIR CONTROL IAC VALUE, ACTUATOR BEND DOOR, VALVE COVER GASKET, COMPUTER, PRESSURE SENSOR, CV JOINTS, INTAKE & EXHAUST CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR SOLENOID <>THREE TIMES

STOPPED AT THE GAS STATION AND THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. SEVERAL TIMES THE CAR DIED WHILE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. WHEN I TRY TO START THE CAR THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS GO BACK AND FORTH 3 TIMES AND ALL POWER IS THERE BUT ENGINE IS TOTALLY DEAD. SOMETIMES AFTER SEVERAL TRIES AND A FEW HOURS LATER THE CAR WILL START. I HAVE HAD 4 MECHANICS, 3 WERE DEALERS, AND NOBODY COULD TELL ME WHAT WAS GOING ON.....AND YET I WAS CHARGED 3 OUT OF 4 TIMES. MY HUSBAND SPOKE TO 2 STREET MECHANICS AND BOTH WITHOUT HESITATION SAID IT IS THE PCM COMPUTER. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH AND CONTINUED PROBLEMS I AM NOW ORDERING A NEW PCM AND INSTALLING IT MYSELF. THERE IS ALSO A TICKING SOUND WHICH SEEMS TO BAFFLE THE MECHANICS. AND THE CAR CONSUMES TONS OF OIL. UNFORTUNATELY I AM SEEING THAT THERE ARE SO MANY CHEVY EQUINOX OWNERS OUT THERE HAVING THESE SAME ISSUES AND CHEVROLET IS NOT HELPING. SHAME ON YOU CHEVROLET!

CAR WILL THROW CODES P0700/U0073/U1000 - LOOSES ENGINE POWER, CHECK STABILITRAK LIGHTS UP, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. CAR WILL BUCK, ODOMETER/RPM GAUGE/TEMP GAUGE WILL BECOME ERRATIC. TOOK TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP, UNABLE TO REPLICATE PROBLEM. UNSAFE TO DRIVE. DOESN'T HAPPEN DAILY - SOMETIMES CAR WILL NOT START/UNABLE TO DRIVE.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WITH LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON THIS OIL CHANGE I HEARD TICKING NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD SO I CHECKED THE OIL TO FIND THAT THERE WAS NONE ON THE DIP STICK, I ADDED 3.5 QUARTS. WHATS SO BOTHER SOME FOR ME IS THAT THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THESE SUV'S FOR THAT VARY PROBLEM BUT IT EXPIRES AT 120000 MILES OR 7.5 YEARS WHICH EVER COMES FIRST ALL OTHER RECALLS ARE 120000 MILES OR 10 YEARS EXCEPT THIS ONE, WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS ON A LONG TRIP WITH THE FAMILY RAN COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL , CAR DIES ON EXPRESSWAY WITHOUT ANY WARNING THEN WHAT.I DID TAKE IT TO THE DEALER & SERVICE WAS THE ONE THAT TOLD ME ABOUT THE 7.5 YEARS. THIS CAR HAD A COMPREHENSIVE CARFAX REPORT WITH DEALER MAINTENANCE BEING DONE SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. NO MENTION OF THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION . THAT WAS THE REASON THAT I PURCHASED IT

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR STALLS AND IT DOES IT ALSO WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A TRAFFIC LITE AND THEN WHEN RESTARTED IT SURGES. THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT IN MY CAR. CANNOT BELIEVE WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THERE IS NO RECALL, REALLY. MAYBE NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED YET. MINE STALLED OUT 4 TIMES JUST TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AND THEN WITHIN A BLOCK IT DID IT IN TRAFFIC.

MY FIANC BOUGHT HER 2011 EQUINOX USED FROM A LOCAL DEALER. SHE BOUGHT THE 4 CYLINDER WITH 2 WHEEL DRIVE. I THINK IT'S THE PLAIN EDITION? ANYWAYS IT WASN'T LONG AFTER BUYING IT THAT IT STARTED MAKING NOISES THAT SOUNDED LIKE THE VEHICLE WAS GOING TO RADDLE APART ANY MIN. FROM DAY ONE IT GOES THROUGH OIL LIKE CRAZY! IT SEEMS LIKE I PUT MORE OIL IN THEN FUEL. THEN SHE WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK ONE DAY AND THE TRANNY STOPPED WORKING. PUSHING ON THE GAS ONLY MADE RPS GO UP, LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. SO WE TOWED IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WITH A GREAT REPUTATION. IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR THEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND TELL US THE BAD NEWS. WHOLE TRANNY NEEDED TO BE DONE AND THE BILL WASN'T GOING TO BE CHEAP. IT ENDED UP COSTING US AROUND 3700 DOLLARS AFTER IT WAS ALL SAID AND DONE. FEW WEEK WENT BY AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. SO WE BROUGHT IT BACK AND MORE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THANK THE LIARS THE SHOP GUARANTEES THEIR WORK BECAUSE THEY TOOK IT FOR ANOTHER WEEK. WE GOT IT BACK A RIGHT AWAY IT WAS SLIPPING GOING INTO 3RD EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE. ONCE AGAIN WE HAD ISSUES WITH IF AND THIS TIME THE GUY SAID HE GOING TO ORDER SOME AFTERMARKET PARTS INSTEAD OF USING THE CHEAP FACTORY CRAP! THE TRANNY HAS WORKED SINCE THEN BUT I KNOW THAT IT'S NOT WORKING PERFECT EITHER. SINCE THEN WE HAVE HAD TO DUMP ANOTHER FEW THOUSAND REPLACING GASKETS, THE TIMING CHAIN, AND EXHAUST MANIFOLD. NOW A NEW PROBLEM JUST CAME UP AND THE CENTER DASH WENT BLANK AND NOTHING WORKS ON IT. THE DISPLAY IS BLANK, NO RADIO, CAN'T ADJUST AIR FLOW AND ALL INTERIOR SOUND STOP MAKING NOISES. LIKE THE TICKING OF THE BLINKER OR DINGING ARE JUST NOT WORKING! WE COULD HAVE THE CAR PAID OFF WITH THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE SUNK IN HER CAR!! I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS VEHICUL AND FEEL HELPLESS. WE STILL OWN ON THE CAR AND I DONT THINK IT WILL EVER BE PAID OFF BEFORE IT DIES FOR GOOD!

THE VEHICLE HAS SUFFERED SEVERAL ENGINE FAILURE SINCE I PURCHASED IT. SEVERAL SENSORS AND MODULE HAVE GONE OUT, COSTS OF OVER $1500.00 TO DATE. FAULTY ELECTRICAL PANEL FAILED TO INDICATE THE VEHICLE WAS LOW ON OIL, AND OVERHEATING. THE OIL WAS CHANGED AND WITHIN A MONTH, THE OIL HAD DEPLETED FOR UNKNOWN REASONS. NONE OF THE INDICATOR LIGHTS SIGNALED AND THE ENGINE STOPPED WHILE DRIVING, THE MECHANIC SAID THE ENGINE FROZE UP AND IT IS A TOTAL LOSS. THE MECHANIC SAID THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD TWO QUARTS OF OIL BUT WAS NOT SIGNALING ANY OIL PROBLEMS AND IT SHOULD HAVE. THE SENSORS AND ELECTRIC PANEL WERE MALFUNCTIONING. THE DEALER NEVER DISCLOSED ANY RECALLS TO ME WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED. THE MECHANIC IS GETTING THE HISTORY TOGETHER OF WORK PERFORMED. I WILL UPLOAD AS I GET THEM.

WHEN EXITING THE CAR ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, I WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. THE MOST RECENT TIME THAT MADE ME REALIZE THE SAFETY HAZARD AT HAND WAS MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2017. I PARKED AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF WHILE PUTTING MY COAT ON AND MY DAUGHTER BEGAN EXITING THE PASSENGER SIDE. AS I WENT TO TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL FORWARD. I PUSHED THE EMERGENCY BRAKES AND IT STOPPED. BECAUSE SHE WAS HOLDING ONTO THE DOOR, IT STARTLED MY DAUGHTER AND SHE WAS SHAKEN THINKING WE WERE GOING TO HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT PARKED OF US. I TURNED THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF, MOVED THE CAR FROM PARK TO NEUTRAL FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY.

I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2016 AND HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH IT SINCE THE 7TH DAY OF OWNING IT. ON DAY 7, I HAD THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED (AFTER THEY TRIED TO TELL ME I DIDN'T TIGHTEN THE GAS CAP). THEN AFTER ONLY OWNING THE VEHICLE FOR 4 MONTHS, I HAD TO HAVE A WHOLE NEW ENGINE BUILT (SO THEY SAY IT WAS) THIS WAS AFTER MY VEHICLE TURNED COMPLETELY OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHILE DRIVING WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. UP UNTIL THAT POINT EVERYTHING HAD BEEN FINE. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, WARNING OR ANYTHING. THE DEALERSHIP HAD MY VEHICLE FOR ALMOST 2 MONTHS BEFORE I FINALLY GOT IT BACK. THE DAY I GOT IT BACK, MY VEHICLE STARTED OVERHEATING AND MAKING A HORRIBLE NOISE. THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS MY RADIATOR AND THAT THEY REPLACED IT. EVERYTHING WAS OK AFTER THAT FOR A GOOD 3 WEEKS AND THEN AFTER THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND MY VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY TURN OFF. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION WHERE THEY HAVE FIXED THE SENSOR A COUPLE OF TIMES, BUT THEY SAID IT WAS MY ENGINE AND THAT THE DEALERSHIP NEVER FIXED IT PROPERLY. I CAN BELIEVE THAT TOO BECAUSE NONE OF MY SERVICE INFO IS ON THE CHEVY SITE AND THE SAME CODES SHOW UP THAT DID ORIGINALLY, THIS VEHICHLE IS A SAFETY HAZORD AND A MONEY PIT! WHEN WILL CHEVY BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON THE EQUINOX?

JUNE 9, 2017 AT 10:00 PM I HIT A DEER ON SOUTH DAKOTA HWY 11 IN LINCOLN COUNTY. THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 65 MPH AND I WAS GOING 68 MPH WHEN I HIT THE DEER HEAD ON. I DROVE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED. AFTER A FEW MINUTES MY WIFE AND I SMELLED BURNING ELECTRICAL WIRE. WE GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND STARTED TO WALK AWAY AND WITHIN 10 MINUTES THE WHOLE THING WENT UP IN FLAMES. THE CAR WAS TOTALED AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF. IF WE WOULD HAVE WENT IN THE DITCH AND BEEN UNCONSCIOUS WE WOULD HAVE BURNT UP WITH THE VEHICLE. THERE IS NO REASON THAT VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE STARTED ON FIRE. GMC WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY BLOWER MOTOR EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW - EVERY TIME I TAKE IT IN IT INTO A CERTIFIED CHEVY DEALERSHIP THE ISSUES IS NOT HAPPENING BY THE TIME I GET THERE THEY JUST TELL ME "WELL THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO IF THE ISSUE IS NOT HAPPENING" IT IS THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER AND NOT HAVING AIR FOR THE FIRST FEW MINUTES IS HORRIBLE, BY THE TIME I GET CLOSE TO THE DEALERSHIP IT STARTS WORKING AGAIN SO NOT ONLY AM I WASTING GAS TRYING TO GET TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT I'M HOT OR COLD WHILE TRYING TO DO IT... I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO FRUSTRATED WITH A VEHICLE AS I AM WITH THIS ONE... I LITERALLY HAVE TO HIT A DEEP POTHOLE FOR IT KICK IN WHICH MAKES ME THINK IT IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE BUT EVERY TIME I TRY TO GET THEM TO DO IT THEY JUST TELL BE WELL THERE WILL BE A FEE FOR DIAGNOSING IT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE BEEN TELLING THEN SINCE 2012 THAT THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING SPORADICALLY. EVEN TRIED TO CONTACT GM ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID WELL THERE ISN'T MUCH WE CAN DO WITHOUT THE ISSUE HAPPENING WHEN YOU GET THERE... THAT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AT MINIMUM THE BLOWER MOTOR SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED IF THEY DID NOT FIND ANY ISSUES IN THE WIRING BUT THEY REFUSE TO NARROW DOWN THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE NORMALLY HAPPENS WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR BUT I HAVE NOTICED IT SOMETIMES STRUGGLES WHILE DRIVING AS WELL... SO THE ISSUE IS JUST GETTING WORSE. ON TOP OF THAT - EVERY TIME I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY NEVER NOTED THAT I HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT THE ISSUE SINCE BACK IN 2012 AND FINALLY I MADE THEM ENTER IT INTO THE SYSTEM PRIOR TO MY MANUFACTURER WARRANTY EXPIRING SO I HAVE PAPER PROOF OF THE ISSUE HAPPENING BEFORE IT EXPIRED WHEN IT WOULD BE FULLY COVERED.

HAD MY CAR FIXED FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE AND A WEEK LATER I LOST POWER AND THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. DEALERSHIP DENIED ANY THING WRONG WITH THE CAR.... AFTER HAVING IT TOWED BACK TO THEM, THEY FOUND THE THROTTLE BODY CONNECTORS WERE NO GOOD AND NEED A NEW WIRING KIT TO FIX. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS BECAUSE THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, ALMOST HAPPENED TO ME! PLEASE RECALL THE 2011 EQUINOX AS A WHOLE, YOU OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T BUILD THIS CAR CORRECTLY.

UPON DRIVING MY CAR TO WORK WITH MY TWO KIDS IN THE CAR, MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING, THE DASHBOARD LIT UP "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" AS WELL AS STABILITRAC AND TRACTION CONTROL. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE TO MORE THAN 20MPH AND THEN DIED ON ME. I CONTACTED GM, RECEIVED A CLAIM NUMBER AND THEY NEVER CALLED ME BACK AS PROMISED. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND CONTINUE ON MY WAY IN FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN. AS A RESULT OF THIS, I TOLD MY HUSBAND I WAS NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE WITH OUR KIDS IN THE CAR AND WE WOULD TRADE CARS UNTIL THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. THE FOLLOWING MORNING MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE EQUINOX TO WORK AND IT HAPPENED TO HIM, "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" LOSS OF STABILITRAC/ TRACTION CONTROL. UNFORTUNATELY, HE WASN'T AS LUCKY AS ME AND WAS ON A TURN WHEN THIS SUDDENLY HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING, CAUSING HIM TO LOSE TRACTION, STEERING CONTROL AND CRASHING INTO A DITCH. NOW WE HAVE AN INSURANCE CLAIM TO DEAL WITH AND ONLY ONE CAR. GM IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AS THEY HAD A RECALL ON THE PREVIOUS YEAR MODEL. NOT UNTIL 13 PEOPLE DIE WILL THEY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT AS PROVEN IN THE PAST. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE, FAULTY DEADLY VEHICLES! BY THE WAY, NEARLY 48 HOURS LATER AND I HAVE STILL NOT HEARD BACK FROM GM AFTER A PROMISE OF A CALL BACK WITHIN 2 HOURS!

I INFORMED THE GARAGE WHERE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND THEY SAID THE LITTLE KNOB ON THE DASH NEEDED TO ADJUSTED. THIS DID NOT WORK. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE TO THREE DIFFERENT GARAGES AND TOLD THEM OF THIS PROBLEM AND TO ENTER IT INTO THE HISTORY OF THIS VEHICLE. NONE OF THEM HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM AND IT IS A SAFETY FACTOR WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE NOW IS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.

WHEN I WAS OUT RUNNING ERRANDS ON 5/2/15 WITH MY (XXX) YEAR OLD, AS I WAS ARRIVING CLOSER TO MY DESTINATION MY CAR STARTED SHAKING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ONE AND I STARTED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR AND THE PEDAL WAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR HESITATED FOR A MIN OR SO THEN IT STARTED TO REV UP AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF. THEN WHEN I GOT TO WHERE I WAS GOING I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL THE STABILITRAK SHOULD GO OFF AND IT USUALLY ACTIVATES DUE TO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT WHEN YOU ARE IN TRAFFIC AT A STOP AND TRYING TO PULL OFF THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. AFTER BEING IN THE STORE FOR AT LEAST 30MINS OR MORE WHEN I COME BACK OUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON BUT THE STABILITRAK LIGHT IS OFF. I AM NO MORE THAN 20 MINS AWAY FROM MY HOME BUT ON THE WAY BACK HOME IT TOOK AT LEAST 45 MINS BECAUSE THREE TIMES WHILE IN TRAFFIC WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN THE CARD STARTED HAVING THE SOLDERED ACCELERATION PROBLEMS AGAIN. I AM JUST RELIEVED THAT THE DRIVERS BEHIND ME IN EACH OCCURRENCE WHICH WOULD BE A TOTAL OF 4 WAS VERY PATIENT. I DID DO A DIAGNOSTIC REPORT WITH ONSTAR AFTER THE SECOND INCIDENT AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE 3 CODES ON MY CAR NOW AND THE LOSS OF POWER CAN BE AN ISSUE FOR THESE CODE AND TO GET THE CAR TO THE DEALER WITHIN 7 DAYS. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN LISTED ON THIS SITE MORE THAN ONCE. I AM NO LONGER UNDER THE WARRANTY FOR THIS VEHICLE AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I AM NOT SURE WHY CHEVY/GM IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THIS ISSUE FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN ON THIS SITE AND EDMUNDS.COM, CAR COMPLAINTS.COM AND YOU TUBE THIS A VERY REAL AND SERIOUS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED SOON THAN LATER. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN ANYTHING DONE ABOUT THIS. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR NOW. *TRPARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

1.WHILE DRIVING IN NASHVILLE FOR WORK THE FIRST OCCURRENCE STARTED WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. MOMENTS LATER CHECK TRACTION CONTROL WARNING POPPED UP AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER A REDUCED ENGINE POWER NOTIFICATION AND VEHICLE LOST POWER. WENT FROM 55 TO 30 MPH IN SECONDS. I HAVE NO CLUE HOW THIS DID NOT CAUSE A WRECK IN THE HEAVY TRAFFIC. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM ([XXX] IN CLARKSVILLE, TN) AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A LOOSE TIMING CHAIN AND THAT THEY FIXED IT. 2.4,000 MILES LATER WHILE WORKING ALL THE SAME MESSAGES POPPED UP AND THE CAR COMPLETELY STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART ON A BUSY BYPASS. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AND I PAID TO HAVE IT TOWED. THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TIMING CHAIN ASSEMBLY AND A HOUSING DUE TO IT BEING DESTROYED. IT WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY AGAIN AND THEY SERVICED IT FOR FREE. 3.VEHICLE RAN GREAT FOR 3600 MILES AND AGAIN THE SAME MESSAGE SEQUENCE OCCURRED. THE CAR FORTUNATELY CONTINUED TO RUN AND I DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I INSISTED IT WAS A SAFETY HAZARD AND THAT I WANTED TO TRADE IT IN IMMEDIATELY. 2 HOURS LATER THEY OFFERED ME $7,000 UNDER BLUE BOOK BECAUSE OF ENGINE PROBLEMS. THIS WAS VERY FUNNY OF COURSE SINCE IT IS CHEVROLET AND THE DEALERSHIPS FAULT FOR SELLING SUCH A LEMON. I TOLD THEM IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. TO FIX IT AGAIN FOR FREE AND I WOULD PICK IT UP. DEALERSHIP CALLED NEXT DAY. SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE. IT WAS OUT OF OIL AND THAT CAUSED SAFETIES TO KICK IN AND THAT CREATED THE PROBLEM. I ASK HOW THIS IS POSSIBLE YOU CHANGED MY OIL 3600 MILES AGO. 4.LAST WEEK (AGAIN 3800 MILES LATER) THE CAR PRODUCED ALL OF THE SAME MESSAGES AND STALLED ON THE SAME BUSY BYPASS. THIS TIME I HAD MY (XXX)YEAR OLD AND (XXX) YEAR OLD IN THE CAR. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 55 SO OF COURSE TRAFFIC REGULARLY RUNS 60 MPH. I WAS STRANDED WITH MY CHILDREN ON 20 DEGREE WEATHER WITH NO HEAT.

MY 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE. I WOULD START THE CAR AND ALL MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS WOULD START FLASHING. EMERGENCY BLINKERS, AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT, STABILITY TRACK AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I WOULD START TO DRIVE AND THE CAR WOULD JUST STALL OUT. IF I AM DRIVING BELOW 10 MILES AN HOUR, THE CAR WILL TURN OFF. I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AND MY CAR STALLED OUT IN THE ONCOMING LANES ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET MY CAR SERVICED FOR A WHILE BUT ALL THE CHEVY DEALERSHIPS ARE BOOKED SOLID AROUND ME. READING THE OTHER REVIEWS IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND FOR A CAR TO ONLY BE A COUPLE YEARS OLD, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. *TR

COLUMBIA, SC-AT LEAST TWICE A MONTH MY IGNITION SWITCH WILL NOT TURN TO THE OFF POSITION SO THAT THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED. I HAVE TO TURN IT BACK TO ON (IT'S NOT NECESSARY TO RESTART THE CAR) AND THEN BACK TO OFF IN ORDER TO REMOVE THE KEY. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING WITHIN A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING MY NEW 2011 EQUINOX. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER APRIL 19, 2011, AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM--"UNABLE TO DUPLICATE." THE PROBLEM CONTINUES, LAST OCCURRING 6/25/14. ALSO, DURING THAT SAME VISIT, I HAD REPORTED THAT THE A/C SMELLED LIKE MOLD WHEN I FIRST TURNED IT ON. 6/27/14, IT STILL SMELLS LIKE MOLD. AS WITH THE IGNITION, THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPT. COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THE LATEST ISSUE STARTED AROUND 21,000 MILES. THE ENGINE, WHICH HAD ALWAYS RUN ROUGH (I ATTRIBUTED THIS TO THE 4-CYLINDER ENGINE) BEGAN SHUTTING DOWN WHEN I SLOWED OR STOPPED FOR TRAFFIC LIGHTS. I CALLED MY DEALER AND WAS ASKED WHERE I PURCHASED MY GAS AND TOLD TO GET SOME INJECTOR CLEANER! I THEN GOOGLED MY PROBLEM AND LEARNED THAT MANY OTHERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME SITUATION WITH THEIR 2011 EQUINOXES. I THEN CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE FOR A PICKUP AND RODE IN THE WRECKER TO THE DEALER, WHERE I WAS GREETED WITH DISDAIN. I TOLD THE SERVICE ADVISOR TO GOOGLE "EQUINOX RECALL" AND READ THE POSTS, AND HE SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL (NOT YET, ANYWAY!) I TOLD HIM I KNEW THAT, BUT HE SHOULD LOOK AT THE MANY COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE. THE NEXT MORNING HE CALLED TO SAY THAT THEY HAD FOUND A PROBLEM, THE SOLENOID VALVE. HE WAS A LOT FRIENDLIER WHEN I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE, HIS MAIN CONCERN BEING THAT I GAVE THE SERVICE DEPT. A GOOD REVIEW! NO APOLOGY FOR TREATING ME LIKE I WAS CRAZY. I PREDICT THAT THE IGNITION AND ENGINE PROBLEMS WITH THE EQUINOX WILL BE GM'S NEXT RECALLS. MAYBE THEY NEED TO ADVISE THEIR SERVICE ADVISORS TO READ THE ONLINE POSTS REGARDING THEIR VEHICLES! *TR

I WAS DOUBLE PARKED, WITH THE GEAR IN THE PARKING POSITION, TALKING TO MY COUSIN ON A FRIDAY NIGHT. WE TALKED FOR ABOUT ONE MINUTE. I WAS TRYING TO UNLOAD MY CAR TO TAKE SOME GROCERIES IN THE HOUSE. MY TRUNK WOULD NOT OPEN. I TRIED TO UNLOCK THE DOORS FROM THE INSIDE (DRIVERS SIDE) TWICE BUT THE TRUNK STILL WOULD NOT OPEN. THEN I WENT AROUND THE PASSENGERS SIDE WITH INTENTIONS ON TURNING THE CAR ON & TRYING TO UNLOCK THE DOORS THAT WAY, BUT AS SOON AS I OPENED THE DOOR, THE CAR BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS WITH MY 12 MONTH OLD SON IN IT. THE CAR WAS IN PARK. I TRIED TO SWITCH GEARS (WHILE STILL ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE) BUT THE GEAR WAS STUCK. (ALL OF THIS WHILE RUNNING WITH THE CAR) MY COUSIN & I WERE HOLDING ON TO THE CAR AS BEST AS WE COULD TO TRY TO SLOW IT DOWN TO AVOID THE BABY BEING INJURED OR ROLLED COMPLETELY AWAY FROM US. THEN I THOUGHT TO JUST TRY TO GET THE BABY OUT WHILE SHE HELD ON TO THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN THE SPEED. AS I WAS TRYING TO UNSTRAP THE BABY'S SEATBELT, MY CAR SWIPED ANOTHER CAR, TEARING OFF THE MIRROR & CREATING SWIPE MARKS, CONTINUED TO ROLL BACKWARDS, THEN I MANAGED TO FREE MY BABY. AS SOON AS I GOT HIM OUT, THE CAR HIT A POLE, WHICH SLOWED DOWN THE SPEED, THEN A TRUCK WHICH STOPPED IT. I SUFFER MULTIPLE BRUISES TO MY RIGHT LEG AND WE BOTH SUFFER MUSCLE PAIN THROUGHOUT OUR BODIES. *JS

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THIS WINTER, THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED THE MESSAGE "ENGINE POWERING DOWN" & "SERVICE STABILITRAK" WHILE I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH AT NIGHT ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR COMMUTES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, ENGINE SLOWS AND THE VEHICLE COMES TO A CRAWL WITHIN MINUTES - BARELY ENOUGH TIME TO FIND A PLACE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, ALL ELECTRICAL CEASED, AND EMERGENCY FLASHERS WOULD NOT WORK. ALLOWING THE VEHICLE A 5 MINUTE BREAK THEN RESTARTING (RESETTING THE COMPUTER) FIXES THE PROBLEM. I RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET, AND THERE ARE MANY EQUINOX OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS VERY THING. *TR

THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY, CHEVROLET IS TRYING TO CHARGE US 100-200$ BUT WE HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH THE VEHICLE, NOT SURE IF WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS LEGAL, CAN THEY REALLY CHARGE TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY? I THINK THE AIR CONDITIONER MALFUNCTION IS A SYMPTOM OF A MUCH GREATER PROBLEM, I.E. ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE OR COMPUTERS ONBOARD THE CAR. ONSTAR SAYS SEVERAL THINGS HAVE BEEN RECALLED ON THE CAR, BUT THE GOVERNMENT RECALL SITE HAS NONE OF THOSE ITEMS LISTED. *JB

IN SEPTEMBER 2011, SIX WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING MY 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX, I WAS REAR-ENDED BY A HEAVY-DUTY PICKUP TRUCK. I WAS SO RATTLED BY THE COLLISION THAT I FORGOT THAT I HAD ONSTAR. THE OTHER DRIVER USED HIS CELL PHONE TO CALL THE POLICE. I RECEIVED MINOR INJURIES DURING THE ACCIDENT. A FEW DAYS LATER I TOLD MY HUSBAND THAT I THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE THAT ONSTAR DID NOT CONTACT ME RIGHT AFTER THE COLLISION. HE CALLED ONSTAR AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD MY HUSBAND THAT THE REAR SENSORS SHOULD HAVE SIGNALED A COLLISION, BUT, BECAUSE THE SENSORS DID NOT ACTIVATE, ONSTAR WOULD REPORT THE PROBLEM TO GM. THE REP ALSO TOLD MY HUSBAND THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND GM MANAGEMENT IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE REP OFFERED TO EXTEND OUR ONSTAR TRIAL PERIOD FOR ANOTHER 6 MONTHS. IF GM IS AWARE OF THE REAR SENSOR MALFUNCTION, WHY AREN'T THEY CORRECTING THE PROBLEM? INSTEAD THEY ARE PLACATING CUSTOMERS WITH AN EXTENSION OF ONSTAR SERVICE. WHAT HAPPENS IF A MORE SERIOUS REAR-END CRASH OCCURS, THE DRIVER IS UNCONSCIOUS, AND CAN'T CALL FOR HELP? I WOULD LIKE THIS PROBLEM OF THE MALFUNCTIONING REAR SENSORS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

MY 2011 EQUINOX HAS JUST NOW STARTED SHOWING SOME "STICKING" IN THE STEERING MECHANISM WHEN MAKING SLIGHT STEERING CORRECTIONS WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (60-70MPH). IT REQUIRED ME TO PULL THE STEERING WHEEL THE CAUSING OVER STEER. I WAS LUCKY THERE WAS NO CAR IN THE NEXT LANE. THE CONDITION IS MORE NOTICEABLE WHEN STARTING TO TURN LEFT. IT IS BARELY NOTICEABLE AT LOWER SPEEDS BUT CAN BE DETECTED. THE EQUINOX WAS PUT INTO SERVICE IN MARCH 2011. THIS BEING AN ALL ELECTRIC POWER STEERING THE PROBLEM COULD IN THE RACK, ECM PROGRAMMING OR THE DRIVE MOTOR. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER ON 10/31/11 THEY FOUND NOTHING! VIEW DETAILS. *TR

I HAVE ALSO BE GETTING VERY POOR GAS MILEAGE (15-18MPH). THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY RESET THE ELECTRICAL CONTROL MODULE BECAUSE IT HAD ERRORS ON IT.
