Jerking between gears

The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle hesitated to respond. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to continue driving. The contact stated that while attempting to drive from a complete stop the following day, the accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to respond. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

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!!!

The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost motive power upon depression of the accelerator pedal with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact also stated while driving 30 MPH, the vehicle stalled while attempting to cross a bridge. The contact called a friend who assisted with towing the vehicle to her residence. The contact then drove the vehicle to two independent mechanics who attempted to retrieve fault codes but were unable to. The mechanics were unable to determine the cause of the failure. The sparks plugs were replaced, and an oil change was performed; however, the failure persisted. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer had been notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 106,697.

Mileage: 106,697

Engine Check Light On took in for diagnostic and was told nothing was wrong just over heated. Taken in multiple times. Finally on February 10, 2022 a visual inspection of leak was done to find rear main seal blew out and leaking oil! At which point it was recommended replacing engine. Through a search on 2011 Chevrolet Equinox it was found to be a common problem for this model. Also mentioned was transmission issues with jerky or slippage in gears ⚙️ in Automatic/Manual transmissions combination types! Plus having trouble with speed control revving up, going up and down hills as concerning with gas pedal sticking!

This model with this VIN# was not listed for a recall, however, it burns oil excessively. The oil gets changed to only have to add oil numerous times before the next oil change. It is absolutely absurd that I have to purchase oil by the gallon. The second problem is the A/C. The check engine light comes on at times when the A/C is on, stays on for days or a week or so, go off, comes back on, and the cycle continues to repeat itself. The mass airflow sensor, oxygen sensors(upstream and down-stream) spark plugs, have all been replaced many times thinking the replacement parts were defected. It appears all of this has to do with a vehicle that was not well built. This car has had a lot of things to go wrong to include the transmission which was no good, and it does not appear that much else about the vehicle is good. It has taken a lot to keep this vehicle running! General Motors, please recall this vehicle? I do not have photos of the oil problem, because I am checking it approximately every two weeks, and more often if I must travel a long distance. I add oil as needed. The situation with the air resulted from getting the check engine light read at an auto parts store, and it is unnerving that it is always the same thing. I want to allow my grandson to take this car to college in August, but there is some uncertainty.

stability control has come on the engine and it have reduce speed

Damages to my engine were caused solely as a direct result of excessive oil consumption caused by defective piston rings used by GM during manufacturing that caused piston ring wear. The repairs that are needed are the direct result of excessive oil consumption caused by defective piston ring wear causing time chain to stretch and break. I took very good care of my car and had the oil changed every 2,000 to 3,000 miles. I had the oil consumption test done at Thomas Chevrolet in Media, PA which proved my car was burning excessive oil which was supposed to be covered under multiple recalls from GM - SB 13-06-01-003F. I was told there was nothing wrong with my car and after driving only 2,605 miles, my engine failed. The guide broke off and was sheared into fragments, chain was roaming free, chain cut into top of valve cover, cracked formed in top of valve cover, oil was leaking out of hole, motor shavings all inside motor from internal parts, grinding was due to lack of lubrication from oil being lost, causing knocking noises. Dealer recommended engine replacement at a cost of $7,800. Also SB-10090101-2280-1 also concerns the oil consumption problem and timing chain.

My car was purchased used at a Chevrolet dealership. I noticed right away that the carjerks when I accelerate, it also stalls when trying to accelerate when making a turn which cam cause an accident. The vehicle revs and slowly moves and then takes off. Its a dragging motion when driving its very slow. The steering wheel locks when turning as if I need power steering fluid. This car is a hazard, waiting to happen. When starting it, it makes this loud humming noise. I just had it inspected and the mechanic said the car was fine, but driving it is a different story.

The engine oil rings are faulty ,it's a manufacturer issue but lawsuits have been the only outcome .it also has many environmental hazards involved as well as public safety as this vehicle spews massive amounts of oil and gas and other nasty things out onto the road behind it from the exhaust.

BOUGHT THE EQUINOX USED.SURE WISH I WOULD HAVE RESEARCHED BETTER. IT RAN DRY OF OIL. DASH READ 55% OIL LIFE AT THE TIME. CAR JUST CUT OFF ON ME AND AFTER DISCOVERING A DRY DIPSTICK AND REPLENISHING OIL, IT SOUNDED LIKE A BROKEN SEWING MACHINE, VERY LOUD RATTLING! CAR SHAKES SO BAD WHILE STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, WE ARE SCARED IT IS JUST GOING TO DIE IN TRAFFIC.CAR WILL NOT IDLE TO WARM UP. IT CUTS OFF.AND ONCE I GET GOING, I ALMOST HAVE TO PUMP GAS PEDAL STEADILY TO KEEP IT RUNNING. HORRIBLE!!! AND MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN

Mileage: 154,000

THE CAR ALWAYS NEEDED OIL, AND WE DID KNOW WHY TIL THE TIMING BELT WENT AND THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED AND IT COST US OVER 2850.00 THEN WE FOUND OUT GM PUT A BAD SPRAY OILER FOR THE TIMING BELT AS FOR THE GOING THROUGH SO MUCH OIL WE ARE UNSURE. I DID HEAR OF A LAWSUIT WE JUST WOULD LIKE OUR MONEY BACK FOR THE MOTOR REPLACEMENT IT'S A VERY BAD LEMON GM ON THE 2.4 LITER ENGINE THEY MADE

2.4 LITER ECOTECH ENGINE USED IN 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX IS IN CURRENT RECALL BY GM. GM IS USING VIN NUMBER TO PREVENT RECALL REPAIR TO VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN 2018 DURING RECALL. LOCAL DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR WITH SUBSTANTIAL COST UP FRONT.

ALSO THEY SAID NO RECALL AND IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY

Mileage: 84,000

I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY TRANSMISSION SINCE FOREVER BUT NOW IT'S WORSE. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO HAVE AN OPEN RECALL. IT IS NOT FAIR THAT WE PURCHASE THESE VEHICLES AND HAVE TO PUT SO MUCH MONEY INTO THEM BECAUSE THEY COME FAULTY. ANYTIME I HIT MY BRAKES WITH A HEAVY FOOT MY CAR WILL STAY STUCK IN FIRST GEAR. I'VE BEEN ON THE HIGH WAY AND IN BUSY STREETS. I CAN'T GO FASTER THEN 10 MPH. I STAY STUCK AND HAVE TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE OFF FOR ABOUT 10 MINS TO GET IT TO RUN AGAIN. IT'S CONSTANTLY SHUTTERING AS WELL. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT EVERYONE HAS THE SAME COMPLAINTS. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE.

Mileage: 180,000

I WAS HEADING INTO WORK ON A WEDNESDAY. EXITING THE HIGHWAY THERE WAS A MASSIVE SHUTTER IN TRANSMISSION AS IT DOWNSHIFTED ON THE EXIT RAMP.TURNING ON TO A BUSY STREET, U.S.36, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUTTER AS IT WAS SHIFTING INTO THE NEXT GEAR. BY THAT TIME I NEEDED TO SLOW DOWN FOR A STOP LIGHT. AS I BEGAN TO INCREASE IN SPEED THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTERED VIOLENTLY. THEN THE TACHOMETER WAS PEGGED AND REDLINING AND WAS NOT GAINING SPEED. WITH A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC PILING UP ON ME AND NOWHERE TO GO, I TURNED ON THE FLASHERS. I BEGAN COASTING BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT FUNCTIONAL. ENGINE RUNNING FINE WITH NO ACCELERATION.THERE I WAS DEAD IN THE ROADWAY WAITING TO BE REAR ENDED..AFTER THE TRAFFIC EASED UP. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TRIED TO DRIVE AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY GO ABOUT 10MPH AND THEN STOP PROPELLING ME FORWARD. COASTING TO ANOTHER STOP. PUTTING INTO PARK AGAIN AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE. AGAIN ONLY GETTING UP TO ABOUT 10MPH BEFORE TRANSMISSION WOULD STOP MOVING FORWARD. I DID THIS NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE I COULD FIND A SAFE LOCATION TO PULL INTO. THIS EPISODE ENDED IN A $3400 TRANSMISSION REPAIR. THE MASTER MECHANIC SAYS HE SEES THIS SO MANY TIMES WITH VEHICLE. I FIND THIS TO BE UNACCEPTABLE FOR AN AUTO MANUFACTURE TO PRODUCE SUCH AN INFERIOR PRODUCT THAT UNTIMELY PUTS THE PUBLIC SAFETY IN JEOPARDY.

Mileage: 56,000

MY IGNITION WAS GETTING JAMMED AND STUCK WHEN TURNING THE TRUCK ON. WHILE DRIVING I FELT SOMETHING LOSING POWER MY GEARS FELT REALLY SLOW

WIPER BLADES DON'T CLEAR PROPERLY. PROBLEM LIST CAN GO ON AND ON. CAR SHUTS OFF BY ITSELF AND IT HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES. ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED BY ITSELF AND COULDN'T GO MORE THAN 20 MILES/HOUR ON A HIGHWAY WITH FAMILY INSIDE THE CAR.

Mileage: 139,165

I WAS DRIVING ON OUR CITIES BYPASS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR BEGAN TO JERK AND NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE. AFTER GETTING TO A PLACE THAT I COULD SAFELY PULL OVER, I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK AND LISTENED. THE CAR SEEMED TO BE RUNNING FINE. I THOUGHT MAY BE IT WAS BAD GAS BUT I WAS ON A HALF TANK AND HAD BEEN DRIVING WITH THE SAME GAS FOR ALMOST A WEEK WITH NO ISSUES. I TRIED TO DRIVE HOME AND WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND WENT TO PRESS THE GAS, NOTHING HAPPENED. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I COULD HEAR ACCELERATION, BUT THE CAR DID NOT BUDGE. I PUT IT IN REVERSE AND THE SAME THING OCCURRED. I AM READING THAT TRANSMISSION FAILURE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH MANY 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX OWNERS. I HAVE A LITTLE UNDER 124,000 MILES. ITS TOO MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE FOR IT NOT TO BE RECALLED BY GM. THIS IS NOT A INEXPENSIVE FIX AND IS NOT FAIR TO CONSUMERS.

Mileage: 123,700

I DROVE HOME AND PARKED MY CAR. WHEN TO STARTED MY CAR THE FOLLOWING MORNING AND PUT IT IN DRIVE. MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD ONLY BACKWARDS. I HAD KNOW IDEA THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS GOING. I WENT TO THE CHEVY DEALER MANY TIMES EARLIER FOR OIL CONSUMPTION AND MY THE SOUND OF MY TRANSMISSION AND THEY SAID THAT THE JUST SOUND OF THE CAR. IF THEY HAD BEEN HONEST AND TOLD ME THE TRUTH I COULD HAVE GOTTEN MY TRANSMISSION FIXED MANY YEARS EARLIER. THANKFULLY MY OIL CONSUMPTION WAS FIXED ONLY BECAUSE I CALLED CORPORATE AND PUSHED THE ISSUE. I BELIEVED THE DEALER WHEN HE TOLD ME ALL THE EQUINOX SOUND LIKE THAT. NOW I HAVE TO PAY OVER $3000.00 FOR THAT LIE. MY CAR IS BEING FIXED BY HOBBY'S TRANSMISSION IN HICKSVILLE, NY AS WE SPEAK. MY CAR IS A LEMON. CORPORATE TOLD ME THAT MY CARE WAS IN THE BATCH OF CARS THAT HAVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I WILL BE CALLING THEM ABOUT MY TRANSMISSION ON MONDAY, 6/22/20. *TR

VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 109,000 MILES AND SUDDENLY, THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. I FIGURED OUT THAT IT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IN REVERSE ONLY, SO I MOVED IT TO A SAFE LOCATION. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED INTO THE DEALER (OUT OF WARRANTY) AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT SINCE IT WAS A CLOSED SYSTEM THAT THERE WERE A FEW OPTIONS. IN THE END, I WENT TO REPLACE WITH A NEW TRANSMISSION AND HAVE THE WARRANTIES...THE COST WAS ABOUT $2000 FOR MINIMAL WARRANTIES OR OVER $5000 FOR FULL WARRANTY. I FELT THAT WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW WITH 5 MILES ON IT THAT IT WOULD LAST LONGER THAN IT DID. I REALLY HAVE HAD NO UNHANDLED PROBLEMS WITH THE DEALER OR GM IN GENERAL, BUT FEEL THAT TO HAVE NO WARNING, LIGHTS, FLUID CONCERNS OR ANYTHING OCCUR TO GIVE ME WARNING THAT THIS IS HOGWASH...I HAVE KEPT UP MY MAINTENANCE, OIL AND FLUID PER GUIDELINES AND AS STATED...DO NOT FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE OCCURRED WITHOUT ANY WARNING! *TR

Mileage: 109,000

LAST YEAR OUR TRANSFER CASE BROKE. FORTUNATELY THE FAILURE WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND WE AVOIDED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO THE COMPLETE FREEZING UP OF THE FRONT END. WE SIMPLY STARTED DRIVING AND THERE WAS A LOUD CRACK AND THEN THE STEERING FROZE. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT, COLLISION OR ANY OFF ROAD OR ON ROAD EXPERIENCE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS. IT WAS CLEARLY A MAJOR PART THAT SHOULD NEVER FAIL THIS WAY. THE MECHANICS HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE. OTHERS SINCE HAVE SUGGESTED WE FILE A COMPLAINT AND SEEK COMPENSATION BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE FAILURE. WE HAVE WRITTEN GM AND INCLUDED PHOTOS. WE ATTACHED THE REPAIR BILLS, WHICH TOTALED $4,466.63, AND ARE SEEKING FULL COMPENSATION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AN I STOPPED. TRIED GIVING IT GAS AN RPMS JUST WENT UP. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT IN 1ST GEAR AN GO ABOUT 20MPH FOR ABOUT 2 MILES AN THEN LOST ALL GEARS. IT IS AT THE SHOP NOW AN I JUST GOT THE DIAGNOSIS. NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I BELIEVE IT IS TIME FOR GM TO TAKE ALL OF THIS SERIOUSLY AN FIX THE PROBLEM THERE ARE TO MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING WITH NOTHING BEING DONE. I CANT AFFORD THIS AN MOST PEOPLE CAN'T BUT YET WE ARE FORCED TO PAY FOR IT. AFTER 100S OF THE SAME ISSUE IT CANT BE THE OPERATOR ERROR IT HAS TO BE THE MANUFACTURE ITS SELF

Mileage: 138,900

WITH NO WARNING, THE CAR JUST STOPPED. I HAD NO REVERSE OR FORWARD. I WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY AND YOU COULD TELL IT WAS HESITATING. WENT A FEW MORE MILES AND THANKFULLY MADE IT TO A PARKING LOT. WHEN MY HUSBAND ARRIVED, THE CAR WOULD JUST REV. WE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. THE CAR HAS UNDER 80,000 MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION GOES? THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS THAT CHEVY IS RIPPING PEOPLE OFF WITH THESE CARS! I HAVE READ SOO MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THIS HAPPENING TO THE 2011 EQUINOX AND THERE IS NOT SOMETHING FISHY OR RECALLS ON THIS? YOU PAY ALOT OF MONEY FOR VEHICLES AND THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO A CAR THAT HAS BEEN BABIED, TAKEN CARE OF! I WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY AGAIN!! WHEN IS THIS GOING TO BE RECALLED??????? AFTER HOW MANY COMPLAINTS AND CARS DOES IT TAKE TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM???

2 DAYS AGO (2/26/2020) NOTICED 2 "JUMPS" AS REVERSING AND AGAIN YESTERDAY. THIS MORNING, BARELY WAS ABLE TO GET CAR REVERSED OUT OF DRIVEWAY. IT FELT AS IF REVERSE GEAR WAS "SLIPPING". AFTER WORK, REVERSE GEAR TOTALLY USELESS, HAD TO PUSH CAR OUT OF PARKING SPACE AT WORK AND ALL FORWARD GEARS WERE "SLIPPING" AND UNABLE TO ACCELERATE VEHICLE. TOWED CAR MECHANIC WHO SAID, "YOUR TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REBUILT OR REPLACED " AND "THESE CARS ARE KNOWN FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER PROBLEMS". HE SAYS REPAIR WILL BE AT LEAST $2500 AND MAYBE AS HIGH AS $4,000.

WHILE ACCELERATING ON FRWY RAMP, SUDDEN CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE, I GOT TO THE SHOULDER, HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY REGULAR REPAIR GARAGE, HE HAD SEEN THIS BEFORE, A PLATE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION SHATTERS WITH NO WARNING, HAD CAR TOWED TO TRANSMISSION SHOP, THEY DIAGNOSED THE SAME THING, SAID THEY HAVE REPAIRED 4 TO 5 EVERY YEAR AND IT'S A FLAW WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS. THEY COMPLETELY REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION AND SHOWED ME THE BROKEN PARTS. COST WAS $3400.00. CALLED THE CHEVY DEALER FOR REIMBURSEMENT AND THEY DENY ANY DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING DEFECTS AND REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. I THINK YOU SHOULD INVESTIGATE THESE TRANSMISSIONS FOR EARLY FAILURES DUE TO A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND MAKE CHEVY EXTEND THE WARRANTIES ON THEM. MY CAR HAD ONLY 52000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS FAILURE. I WAS LUCKY TO GET TO THOSE SHOULDER SAFELY. IF I CAN PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT ME. ALSO, PLEASE INFORM ME OF YOUR INVESTIGATION.

SITTING IDLE AT STOP LIGHT, ENGINED REVVED UP, TURNED INTO PARKING LOT, LOST REVERSE. PUSHED OUT OF PARKING SPACE, ABLE TO DRIVE FORWARD, BUT AT LOW MPH, BEGAN KNOCKING AND RATTLING, LOSS OF POWER. PULLED INTO 2ND PARKING LOT, TURNED CAR OFF. WAITED 20 MIN, ABLE TO SHIFT TO REVERSE AND DRIVE ABOUT 10 MIN. SITTING IDLE ONCE AGAIN, RPMS REVVED UP AGAIN, LOSS OF POWER. DROVE VERY SLOW UNTIL AT A SAFE LOCATION, TRANSMISSION LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON. BEGAN ONLINE RESEARCH TO LAND HERE. CALLED MECHANIC FRIEND, SAID KNOWN FACT WITH 3-5-R WAVE PLATE FAILURE 103,000 MILES. BOUGHT NEW DEC 2010

Mileage: 103,000

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 50,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING 25 MPH DOWN A CITY STREET. OF COURSE, I'M OUT OF WARRANTY BECAUSE OF YEARS, AND, GM WILL NOT CONSIDER GIVING ANY ASSISTANCE, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2011 EQUINOXES. AN EMPLOYEE AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP SAID THE TRANSMISSION IN THE EQUINOX LIKE MINE IS GARBAGE. I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN MARCH, 2011, AND IN FEBRUARY 2015 AT 26,000 THE A/C COMPRESSOR WENT OUT, AND I HAD TO PAY FOR THAT REPAIR.

Mileage: 50,000

I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 10 MONTHS AND IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP MORE THAN ANYTHING. IT'S ALREADY ON ITS SECOND ENGINE AND THAT WAS SEPTEMBER 14TH, NOW OCTOBER 23RD IT IS NOW NEEDING A TRANSMISSION. THIS DOESN'T INCLUDE THE UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT OF OIL CHANGES AND TUNE UPS. I'VE STALLED IN REVERSE AND DRIVE. THE CAR DIED OUT WHILE DRIVING AND IS EXTREMELY LOUD AT TIMES. ALL I HAVE FOR DOCUMENTS ARE MY RECEIPTS. I'M DISABLED WITH CHILDREN AND WHEN I THOUGHT WE WERE BUYING A CAR WE BOUGHT A LOT OF PROBLEMS INSTEAD. CONSTANTLY TRYING TO STILL FIND RIDES TO DR APPTS AND SUCH. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT A RECALL HASN'T BEEN DONE YET, AFTER THE ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON SAID VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX I JUST PURCHASED AUG 5,2018 WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I WENT TO TURN IN THE PARKING LOT AT THE VEHICLE JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN I HAD TRY COASTING INTO A SPACE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A SERVICE CENTER ONLY TO LEARN THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH G MM C/CHEVROLET. UNFORTUNATELY GMC IS TURNING A DEAF EAR TO THIS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF A MAJOR INTERSTATE I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED AND GMA IS CLEARLY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND REFUSING TO DO A RECALL I'M PRAYING NOONE GETS KILLED BEFORE THEIR HAND IS FORCED TO MAKE THEIR PRODUCT SAFE FOR THE CONSUMER.

I HAVE A 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX THAT JUST RANDOMLY HAD THE TRANSMISSION GO OUT IN IT. I HAD TAKEN IT TO A DEALERSHIP NOT EVEN 2 WEEKS AGO AND THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO A FULL VEHICLE FLUID TOP OFF AND FULL OIL CHANGE. NEVER HAVE I HAD ANY ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE PRIOR TO THIS AND IT ONLY HAS 90K MILES ON IT.

THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT IN THE VEHICLE WITH ONLY 85,XXX MILES ON IT. COSTING ALMOST $3,000 TO FIX IT.

VEHICLE HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED. ENGINE STARTED TO STALL WHILE DRIVING, THEN WOULD NOT START. WARNING LIGHTS DID NOT APPEAR UNTIL AFTER THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. SAID ENGINE UNDERPOWERED. HAD IT TOWED TO MECHANIC, WHO FOUND THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE ENGINE, EVEN THOUGH NO LIGHTS CAME ON AND WE CHECKED THE OIL 3 DAYS EARLIER. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER SAID THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT REPAIRS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A SPECIAL COVERAGE WARRANTY ISSUED BY GM. GM DENIED COVERAGE WITH NO EXPLANATION SENT TO ME. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE TO FILE AN APPEAL, AND WAS GIVEN A FILE NUMBER AND TOLD SOMEONE WOULD CONTACT ME WITHIN 2 BUSINESS DAYS. DESPITE ALMOST DAILY FOLLOW UP CALLS BY ME FOR A MONTH NO ONE HAS CALLED ME BACK. EACH TIME I AM TOLD IT THE CASE IS BEING HANDLED BY A SENIOR ADVISOR AND THAT THE OPERATOR WAS NOT ABLE TO CONTACT THEM AND THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK. I ASKED FOR THE CASE TO BE ESCALATED TO A SUPERVISOR, AND AFTER 4 TIMES WAS TOLD IT HAD BEEN, BUT WHEN I CALLED BACK TO SEE WHY NO ONE HAD CALLED ME BACK WAS TOLD THAT THE SENIOR ADVISOR WAS STILL ASSIGNED TO THE CASE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, WITH THE ENGINE STALLING WHILE STILL IN MOTION, WITH NO WARNING, AND IS CAUSED BY A KNOWN MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND SHOULD BE PART OF A RECALL, NOT "SPECIAL COVERAGE".

TODAY I ADDED MY NAME TO THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, CASE NO. 3:17-CV-5337 THAT WAS FILED ON 9/14/17 IN THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA AGAINST GM REGARDING MY 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. IF YOU'RE AFFECTED, ADD YOUR NAME AS WELL AS FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION. FEB2017, I PURCHASED SAID AUTO WITH 69,684 MILES IN GOOD CONDITION. ON MY WAY TO WORK WHILE AT A RED LIGHT THE SUV SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. BEING UNABLE TO RESTART THE SUV, IT WAS TOWED ON MAY 25, 2018 TO MY MECHANIC (CB ISLAND, 589 UNION AVE, WESTBURY, NY) TO FIND THAT THERE WERE DAMAGED VALVES, A BROKEN TIMING CHAIN, AND A BLOWN ENGINE AT 93,675 MILES. THIS MILEAGE IS WELL UNDER GM'S SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT MILEAGE OF 120K. THE CAUSE OF THE DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR WAS LACK OF OIL IN THE ENGINE. BEING DILIGENT IN GETTING OIL CHANGES, THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THE OIL WAS LOW IN THE CAR. GM REFUSED TO HONOR THE WARRANTY THOUGH THEY KNEW OF THE DEFECT ON THESE ENGINES. THERE ARE MANY ALMOST IDENTICAL MECHANICAL ISSUES OVER MULTIPLE YEARS FOR THE CHEVY EQUINOX. THIS IS NOT JUST A FEW OF US THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ENGINE FAILURE, BUT ENOUGH TO HAVE A CLASS ACTION INITIATED. HAVING A $16K LOAN REMAINING, I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO REPAIR THE ENGINE. THE GOVERNMENT (WHICH WAS ASSISTED GM OUT OF BANKRUPTCY) NEEDS TO HOLD GM ACCOUNTABLE BY FORCING THEM TO TAKE ACTION BY RECALLING ALL AFFECTED MODELS, AND TO REIMBURSE THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY MADE THE REPAIRS IN ADDITION TO HAVING GM INSPECT THE REPAIRED ENGINES TO ENSURE NO FUTURE PROBLEMS TO PRE-EMPT THE FATALITIES THAT WILL EVENTUALLY BEGIN TO ADD UP.

HAD IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID IT JUMPED TIME, AND THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND MADE A MESS OF THE ENGINE. ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. FAILED AT 73K MILES. BOUGHT THE CAR CERTIFIED USED AT 36K TWO YEARS AGO AND HAVE HAD IT SERVICED REGULARLY. DON'T HAVE MONEY FOR REPAIRS AND CHEVY DEALER WON'T FIX....

WIPER BLADE MOTOR STOPPED WORKING IN A HEAVY DOWNPOUR. I WAS ON A ROAD I KNOW SO WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF SAFELY. IF I DIDN'T KNOW THIS ROAD I AM POSITIVE I WOULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT. THE MANIFOLD WAS CHANGED IN 2013. TODAY IS MARCH 22, 2018. LAST WEEK I HAD THE MANIFOLD CHANGED AGAIN. CRACKED AGAIN. THERE WERE FUMES COMING INTO THE PASSENGER AREA. THE CAR IS IN THE REPAIR GARAGE AGAIN BECAUSE THE FUMES ARE EVEN WORSE. THE CAR HAS ALWAYS HAD A LOUD TICKING SOUND. IT USES A LOT OF OIL. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER BEFORE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT. THEY DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND SAID THE OIL USE WAS WITHIN NORMAL RANGE. HOW CAN THIS BE NORMAL RANGE WHEN I PUT A COUPLE QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 200 MILES. THIS CAR IS JUNK.

OIL CONSUMPTION, ROUGH IDLE, BAD TICKING ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE A DIESEL TRUCK, STALLED.

Mileage: 96,000

ENGINE FAILED DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF WORKING THROUGH AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WITH THE DEALERSHIP BUT WAS UNABLE TO FINISH. MY CAR FAILED THANKFULLY WHILE IT WAS STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS FAILURE COULD HAVE HAPPENED AT ANY TIME EVEN WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR OR ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT DUE TO THE VEHICLE CONSUMING EXCESSIVE OIL BETWEEN REGULAR OIL CHANGES IT RESULTS IN ISSUES WITH THE TIMING CHAIN WHICH EVENTUALLY LEAD TO ENGINE ISSUES AND ULTIMATELY FAILURE. THERE IS CURRENTLY A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN RELEASED BY GM FOR THE KNOWN ISSUE BUT NO INFORMATION WAS EVEN SENT TO ME ABOUT THE ISSUE SO THAT I COULD BE MADE AWARE OF IT AND MONITOR THE PROBLEM.

Mileage: 91,000

I HAD MY FAMILY IN THE EQUINOX AND HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. I CALLED AAA TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP BY THE HOUSE. THEY DETERMINED THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD AND EITHER NEEDED A NEW ONE OR HAVE THE COMPUTER RE-FLASHED. THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO CAN RE-FLASH A TRANSMISSION MODULE COMPUTER IS A DEALERSHIP. BY NOW, I ALSO CALLED GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP. I HAD IT TOWED AGAIN FOR A SECOND TIME TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD AND NEEDED A NEW ONE. I STARTED THE REPAIR PROCESS SOON AFTER. I WANTED GENERAL MOTORS TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS BECAUSE I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW AND IT HAD 88,000 MILES ON IT. GM DID NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND I GOT STUCK WITH A $3800 BILL IN REPAIRS AND LABOR.

GM RECALL 11195A - POOR DRIVABILITY/ SAFETY/ EMISSIONS RECALL FOR CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR SOLENOIDS. MY 2.4L 2011 EQUINOX (APPROX. 47,000 AT PURCHASE 11/16 & 71,000 CURRENT) IS NOW AT DAYS CHEVROLET IN ACWORTH GA. DUE TO 1) SHUTTING OFF MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING, 2) STALLING AT IDLE (FWD & REV). I INITIALLY VISITED DAYS ON 12/22/17 TO START AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST RELATED TO 15285C, AS MY CAR PRESENTED WITH STALLING/HESITATION/SURGING AND LOSS OF 3 QTS OIL. AS OF TODAY (1/3/18), I RETURNED TO DAYS WHEN IT SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP'S DIAGNOSIS IS INTAKE & EXHAUST CAMSHAFT SOLENOID FAILURE. I SUSPECTED THIS BASED ON CODE P0010 RECORDED BY MY DIAGNOSTIC UNIT. SO I GOT A RENTAL, LEFT MY CAR FOR THE CAMSHAFT REPAIRS, AND RESEARCHED RECALLS. THE 2011 2.4L HAS MANY KNOWN ENGINE/POWERTRAIN/SAFETY ISSUES. LO AND BEHOLD, I FOUND THE RECALL ON THE CAMSHAFT DIAGNOSIS. IT READS EXACT TO WHAT I'M EXPERIENCING. MY NEXT STEP WAS CONTACTING DAYS TO ASK WHY I'M BEING CHARGED FOR A RECALLED REPAIR. I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WERE UNAWARE OF RECALL 11195A. MY SERVICE ADVISOR, ROB, LOOKED UP THE RECALL AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS IN FACT A RECALL FOR THE EXACT DIAGNOSIS, YET COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. HE ADVISED THAT THE CAR IS EXHIBITING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL IS ISSUED FOR AND THAT IT'S CLEARLY A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE, YET GM WILL NOT COVER MY REPAIR BECAUSE "THE VIN IS NOT INCLUDED". I VERY MUCH BELIEVE THIS IS GM'S RESPONSIBILITY AND GM SHOULD COVER THE REPAIR AT NO COST BECAUSE IT'S A RESULT OF THEIR FAULTY ENGINEERING. I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TONIGHT AND WAS TOLD THERE'S NOTHING GM CAN DO. I STRONGLY DISAGREE. GM CAN DO THE RIGHT THING. I REQUESTED A CASE BE OPENED AND WAS GIVEN #83734190593 AFTER PRESSING (PAUL) FOR ONE. IN THE END. GM WAS OF NO HELP AND MY VIN IS STILL IN LIMBO, SO I'M FILING MY COMPLAINT HERE.

Mileage: 71,000

CHEVROLET EQUINOX 2011 USES EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. I HAVE TO ADD OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. I KEEP EXTRA OIL ON HAND ALWAYS. THE CAR MAKES RATTLING NOISE AT START UP AND JUST DOESN'T SOUND GOOD WHEN RUNNING. IT RUNS SLUGGISHLY. I WASN'T AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I ONLY HAD TO ADD OIL BETWEEN CHANGES TO MY PREVIOUS CAR WHEN IT WAS LEAKING ON THE GROUND. I WENT TO HAVE OIL CHANGED AND THERE WAS NONE ON THE DIPSTICK. I HAD NO IDEA. WHEN I ADD OIL THE RATTLING SEEMS TO GO AWAY FOR A WHILE. I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER CAR OR REPLACE THE MOTOR IF THE OIL CONSUMPTION CAUSES THE NEED FOR THAT.

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD AND THE CAR JERKED AND WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. I TRIED TO PUSH IT, BUT IT WOULD NOT GO. I SLOWED DOWN TO A STOP LIGHT AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GO. ONCE I MANAGED TO GET IT INTO A PARKING LOT, ALL GEARS TOTALLY LOCKED UP AND I COULD NOT EVEN GET IT IN NEUTRAL. THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP SAYS I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I ONLY HAVE 76K MILES ON THIS ONE BEFORE IT WENT UP.

Mileage: 76,000

EXTREME HARD DOWN SHIFT BETWEEN 35-45 MPH. DEALER SAYS "TRANSMISSION IS FRIED" "PLATES ARE CHARRED". THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR CAR. IT HAS HAD ALREADY 2-3 RECALLS & THIS TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS & THEY WILL NOT MAKE THIS A RECALL & THEY WILL NOT HELP PAY FOR REPAIR ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE HELPED OTHERS. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT DUE TO DRIVER ERROR BUT DUE TO FAILURE OF THE PART. DEALER IS CHARGING AN ARM/LEG TO FIX IT. GENERAL MOTORS CLEARLY DOES NOT CARE.

I HAVE A 2011 EQUINOX IT'S GOT 146,000 MILES . I AM FAITHFUL WITH OIL CHANGES AND LAST WEEK WHEN I WENT TO GET IT CHANGED I WAS TOLD MY ENGINE HAD NO OIL. MY OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD JUST TURNED ON THE DAY PRIOR. I WAS TOLD THERE WASN'T ANY LEAKS. SO AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FIND THERE IS A OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM, HOWEVER SINCE MY MILES ARE I'VE 120,000 I DON'T QUALIFY FOR THE REPAIR. THIS IS NOT RIGHT! MY CAR COULD HAVE BURNT UP BECAUSE MY LIGHT NEVER INDICATED A PROBLEM AND GM NEVER NOTIFIED ME OF HE ISSUES!

PUT TRUCK IN REVERSE AND TOOK OFF AND WHEN STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT THE RPMS WOULD MOVE ON THEIR OWN, CAR STARTS BOUNCING, MOTOR IS RATTLING, AND SOMETIMES STALLS OUT. I HAVE TO PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AT EVERY LIGHT FOR IT TO NOT ROCK BACK AND FOURTH. NEXT DAY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME OUT, READINGS INDICATED IT WAS THE THROTTLE SENSOR BODY AND THE SOLENOIDS. I REPLACED ALL OF THESE AND TRUCK IS STILL RUNNING THE SAME, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON.

THE VEHICLE ALSO LOST REVERSE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE 3RD/5TH/REVERSE CLUTCH WAVE PLATE HAD FAILED AND I WOULD NEED A REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION. I INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP THAT THESE CLUTCH WAVE PLATES HAVE HIGH FAILURE RATES GOING BACK TO 2007 AND GM SHOULD REPAIR THE VEHICLE AT THEIR COST. I AM AWAITING THEIR DECISION.

HELLO, THE VEHICLE IS UNDER 60,000 MILES. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT. AFTER DIAGNOSIS, IT WAS REPORTED THE CAR BURNED OIL AND CAUSED OIL SLUDGE. MANY REPORTS ARE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, INCLUDING THE PISTONS AND RINGS. THE COST OF THE JOB IS BETWEEN $4500 - 6000. GM WILL NOT REPAIR THE CAR UNDER THE BULLETIN, 15285C. APPARENTLY, THE CAR VIN IS COVERED; HOWEVER, GM WILL NOT REPAIR BECAUSE I CAN'T PROOF CHANGING OIL EVERY 5,000 MILES. I DO HAVE SERVICE PROVIDER RECEIPTS DATING BACK TO 2012. I COULDN'T PROOF CHANGING THE OIL MYSELF. I HAVE COMPLETED THIS TASKS IN ADDITION TO THE SERVICE SHOP. GM REPORTED THE CAR TO BURN OIL EXCESSIVELY AT 2,000 MILES. I WASN'T AWARE OF THIS UNTIL 2016, FIVE YEARS AFTER TIME OF PURCHASE. I'M DISAPPOINTED WITH GM NOT BACKING THEIR PRODUCT. THE CAR HAS THE FOLLOWING ISSUES DUE TO THIS RECALL. -LUNGES AT IDLE -STOPS AT IDLE -SOUNDS LIKE A TICKING TIME BOMB I HAVE ALREADY INVESTED $1200 IN THE ENGINE FIXING THE TIMING CHAIN AND WATER PUMP.

THEY ALSO FOUND THAT MY MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. OUT QUITE A BIT OF MONEY. NOW JUST A FEW MONTHS LATER, DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY ENGINE IS CLICKING AND TICKING AND SOUNDS LIKE ITS GOING TO FALL OUT. I CHECK THE OIL WHEN I GET STOPPED AND MY CAR HAS NO OIL IN IT. NO WARNING LIGHTS HAD COME ON AND MY OIL LEVEL MONITORING SYSTEM STILL SAID 38%. IT HAD JUST REACHED 3000 MILES SINCE MY LAST OIL CHANGE. NOT A HAPPY CUSTOMER.

RECEIVED A CALL THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDS REPLACED $198. NOT ON A BULLETIN. ALSO, NOW DOING ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BECAUSE OIL WAS LOW AS WELL AS ENGINE COOLANT WAS LOW. AFTER DOING RESEARCH AT HOME, THOUSANDS OF 2.4L ENGINES FOR EQUINOX ARE HAVING TO PAY FOR BAD TIMING CHAIN WHEN THEY HAVE BALANCING CHAIN REPLACED. MOST OF THESE COMPLAINTS ARE COMING AT THE 30,000 MILE MARK ON THE ODOMETER. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT NHTSA SHOULD LOOK INTO WHY THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUE IS NOT ADDRESSED WHEN REPLACING THE BALANCING CHAIN? IF THE TIMING CHAIN STRETCHES OR BREAKS IT WILL BLOW UP THE ENGINE (SAFETY ISSUE). MY VEHICLE JUST TURNED 29,0000 MILES. NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS INVOLVE ALL THE NHTSA BULLETINS AND ULTIMATELY, THESE PEOPLE ARE RECEIVING NEW REPLACEMENT ENGINES. IF THIS IS THE CASE WHY WON'T GM ISSUE A RECALL AND REPLACE THESE ENGINES WITH THE NEW IMPROVED 2013-2014 2.4L ENGINES. MY TIME IS VALUABLE AND EACH REPAIR WILL COST ME A DAYS WORTH OF PAY. IF THESE PROBLEMS ARE NOW SHOWING UP. LET'S END GAMES AND REPLACE THE ENGINE NOW.

ENGINE HAS ALWAYS MADE A RATTLING NOISE WHICH NOW I BELIEVE LOOSE/WORN TIMING CHAIN. LAST WEEK THE EQUINOX WAS STALLING AT STOP SIGNS. IT WILL START RIGHT BACK UP THEN DIE AGAIN. ONCE IT'S TAKES OFF IT RUNS FINE. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THERE WERE 2 CODES. 1 READ ENGINE MISFIRE OTHER READ INTAKE CAM VALVE ACTUATOR (SOMETHING). THE DEALER CLEARED THE CODES (CHARGED ME FOR CLEARING CODES) AND THEN SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH CAR AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. COUPLE DAYS LATER IT DIES 3 TIMES IN A ROW AT STOP. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR ONE DAY. NEXT DAY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF AND VEHICLE RUNS FINE. LATER THAT DAY IT DIES AT STOP. I CALL DEALER TO GET ANOTHER APPOINTMENT AND THEY SAY WITHOUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON OR IT DYING FOR THEM THERE ISN'T MUCH THEY CAN DO. DO A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH OF EQUINOX TIMING ISSUE AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. OF COURSE NOW IT IS 3 MONTHS OUT OF THE 5YEAR POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. I HAVE READ WHERE THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE. I HAVE A FEELING I'M GOING TO BE FORCED TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AFTER THEY DO NOTHING FOR IT AND CHARGE ME TO CLEAR ANY CODES.

THERE WAS A TICKING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AFTER PARKING AND SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE, A ROUGH/LOUD RUNNING OF THE ENGINE, INCONSISTENT TIMES OF KNOCKING TYPE SOUND, AND A HESISTANT DURING ACCELERATING AND SO ROUGH. WHEN WE INQUIRED ABOUT THESE THINGS FROM THE DEALER WE PURCHASED FROM WE WERE TOLD THAT EVERYTHING WAS 'NORMAL' AND THAT'S WHAT A CHEVY SOUNDS LIKE. TODAY I WAS DRIVING UP A 30 MPH ROAD AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 20 MPH GOING STRAIGHT UP THE ROAD. THERE WAS A HESISTATION THEN IT STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF.WAITED A FEW SECONDS AND IT STARTED BACK UP. I DROVE FAST HOME AND TURNED ONTO MY STREET AND IT STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND NOT ACCELERATE. IT WAS STILL RUNNING BUT DIDNT GO ANYWHERE. I TURNED IT OFF AGAIN FOR A FEW MINUTES. IT STARTED UP I DROVE IT INTO MY DRIVEWAY. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT SHUTOFF. THIS APPEARS TO BE A CONSISTENT PROBLEM IN THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE FROM WHAT I HAVE NOW FOUND AND SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH ONLY 63,000 MILES ON IT. I DO NOT DRIVE LONG DISTANCE. WORK, SCHOOL AND HOME. I AM EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED WITH THE ENTIRE SITUATION. I HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT CHEVY AND THIS IS THE FIRST MAJOR ISSUE. THEY NEED A RECALL ON THIS. CAN SOMEONE HELP. I DO NOT HAVE A WARRANTY ANYMORE. IM A SINGLE MOM OF 2 AND CAN NOT AFFORD THIS. THE CRAZY THING IS. I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL ABOUT THIS ISSUE A FEW MONTHS BACK.

THE CAR LIMPED A FEW MILES HOME STALLING OUT COMPLETELY ONCE A BLOCK FROM HOME, IT WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIRS. I WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE IT WAS PURCHASED 06/11/2011. THE VEHICLE ALSO HAD OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES AND ROUGH IDLE AT THIS TIME. THE VEHICLE HAD ITS CAM SHAFT ACTUATORS REPLACED IN AUGUST 2011 AFTER THE ENGINE MADE VERY LOUD NOISES WITH ABOUT 2000 MILES ON THE CAR. I TRADED THE CAR IN 3 DAYS AFTER THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE I DID NOT TRUST THE CAR.

Mileage: 67,000

THE CAR STOPPED SHIFTING GEARS AND STOPPED MOVING GOING DOWN THE STREET. UPON STOPPING THE CAR IN A SAFE LOCATION, THE CAR WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE. HAD I BEEN IN BUSY TRAFFIC OR MERGING ONTO AN EXPRESSWAY, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS.

I WAS DRIVING TO GET MY 3 SMALL KIDS FROM AFTER SCHOOL AND MY 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX STARTED LOSING POWER. COULD NOT GO OVER 35 MPH.CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON, THEN THE STABILITRAK LIGHT FOLLOWED BY REDUCE ENGINE AND IT HAD VIBRATION. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. I GOT TO THE STOP SIGN AND IT VIBRATED. I PULLED OVER AND WAS SCARED TO CUT IT OFF. THEN AFTER ABOUT 2 MINS I WAS ABLE TO PULL OF SLOWLY BY THE CAR STALLED. AND I STILL COULDN'T GO OVER 35MPH. SLOWLY MADE IT TO MY KIDS SCHOOL AND I COULD HERE CLUNKY NOISES. I CUT OFF, AFTER 5 MINS I WAS ABLE TO CRANK, THE ONLY LIGHT THAT WAS ON WAS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ITS STIL ON. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE REGULAR BUT STILL HAD A LITTLE VIBRATION. I DO NOT HAVE WARRANTY AND IM A SINGLE MOTHER OF 3 SMALL KIDS FROM AGE 18MONTHS - 9YEARS OLD. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO. I CANT AFFORD ANY REPAIRS. I JUST GOT THIS VEHICLE JANUARY 30, 2015

TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ISSUES CAUSING CAR TO JERK AND NOT ACCELERATE. HAS BEEN AN ON GOING ISSUES FOR THE LAST 13 MONTH BROUGHT IN TO BE LOOKED AT MULTIPLE TIME. DEALER IS STATING THAT'S HOW THE TRANSMISSION WERE MADE.

Mileage: 85,600

I PURCHASED MY 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX IN MARCH 2014 AT 40,000 MILES. IN THAT TIME I HAVE ONLY ADDED 16,000. IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS OR SO I HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE. THERE WAS A TICKING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AFTER PARKING AND SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE, A ROUGH/LOUD RUNNING OF THE ENGINE, INCONSISTENT TIMES OF A 'WHIRRING' TYPE SOUND, AND A BUCKING OF THE VEHICLE DURING ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING SO ROUGH THAT I THOUGHT I HAD BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND A FEW TIMES. WHEN WE INQUIRED ABOUT THESE THINGS FROM THE DEALER WE PURCHASED FROM WE WERE TOLD THAT EVERYTHING WAS 'NORMAL' AND THAT'S WHAT A CHEVY SOUNDS LIKE. IN AUGUST THE COMPRESSOR FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER WENT AND WE THOUGHT PERHAPS THAT WAS CAUSING MOST OF THE ISSUES AND SPENT QUITE A LOT OF MONEY TO FIX THAT. IT DID SEEM TO RUN A LITTLE BETTER FOR A FEW WEEKS. TODAY I WAS DRIVING DOWN A 30 MPH ROAD AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 20 MPH GOING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. THERE WAS A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO THE CLOSEST GARAGE AS I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE OTHER END OF THE NEXT TOWN FROM WHERE I WAS. I BARELY MADE IT TO THE GARAGE. THEY HOOKED IT UP TO A SCAN AND DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. NOW I AM FINDING OUT THAT I AM OUT OF WARRANTY BY LESS THAN ONE MONTH. THIS APPEARS TO BE A CONSISTENT PROBLEM IN THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE FROM WHAT I HAVE NOW FOUND AND SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH ONLY 56,000 MILES ON IT. I DO NOT DRIVE LONG DISTANCES OR EVEN ON A DAILY BASIS, AS THE FACT THAT I HAVE ONLY ADDED 16,000 MILES IN THE LAST 19 MONTHS CAN ATTEST. I AM EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED WITH THE ENTIRE SITUATION, ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAD TOLD THE DEALERSHIP MONTHS AGO THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE THAT THEY DIDN'T BOTHER TO LOOK INTO AND CONVENIENTLY CAN NO LONGER FIND RECORD OF. NEITHER THE DEALER OR CHEVY WERE HELPFUL.

Mileage: 56,200

INITIALLY THE ISSUE STARTED WITH ROUGH IDLING OF THE CAR, ENGINE TICKING, AND ENGINE STALLING. AFTER INDICATING THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE ECM NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED BECAUSE THE OIL LIFE INDICATOR WAS NOT PROPERLY CALIBRATED CAUSING THE SYSTEM TO THINK THAT THERE WAS MORE LIFE ON THE OIL THAN THERE ACTUALLY WAS. THE ENGINE BALANCE CHAIN EVENTUALLY BROKE WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE (55 MPH), DUE TO IMPROPER OIL LUBRICATION. THE FUEL PUMP, WATER PUMP, AND A FEW OTHER ITEMS HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE DAMAGE CAUSED WHEN THE CHAIN BROKE. I NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP ONCE AGAIN AFTER ENGINE TICKING/ ROUGH IDLING RE-OCCURED AND THEY INDICATED TO ME THAT THE ENGINE TICKING DURING STARTUP WAS NORMAL. THE ENGINE TICKING PROGRESSED TO BECOMING A CONSTANT NOISE. I NOTICED THAT WHEN I TOOK THE OIL IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE, APPROXIMATELY 2000 MILES IN, THAT THE OIL DIPSTICK WOULD COME UP COMPLETELY DRY. THIS INDICATED THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL CONSUMPTION. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO INDICATED THAT PISTONS HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED. THIS INDICATED THAT THE ENGINE WAS OBSERVING SOME EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF HEAT MOST LIKELY DUE TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. DURING THESE ISSUES, NO SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT EVER CAME ON. THE CAR HAD TO BE TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHICH INDICATED THAT THE CAM SHAFT ACTUATOR SOLENOIDS AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER MOST LIKELY FAILED DUE OIL SEEPING INTO THE EXHAUST WHICH COATED THE CERAMIC SUBSTRATE & THE EXCESSIVE HEAT EXPERIENCED BY THE ENGINE (AS INDICATED BY THE CRACKED MANIFOLD) DAMAGED THE CERAMIC SUBSTRATE. OIL CONSUMPTION LEADS TO EXCESSIVE HEAT FROM THE ENGINE WHICH CAN BE A FIRE HAZARD. ENGINE STALLING DUE TO OIL CONSUMPTION LEADS TO CRASH SAFETY ISSUES.

I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN , THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" MESSAGE APPEARED. YOU ARE AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND SUDDENLY YOU CAN ONLY GO 30 MILES AN HOUR NO MATTER HOW MUCH ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED. AFTER PULLING OVER AT THE FIRST AVAILABLE SAFE AREA, TURNING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING SEEMED TO RESET THE CAR SO IT WAS ABLE TO PROCEED. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN UNTIL I ATTEMPTED TO CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY. THE THROTTLE BODY WASN'T OPERATING CORRECTLY. CLEANING IT DID STOP THE "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" MESSAGE. THIS CAR ALSO BURNS OIL, NO LEAKS, BUT YOU NEED A QUART OR TWO OF DEXOS OIL A MONTH. GM SEEMS TO THINK THIS IS NORMAL. ALSO THE CAR STALLS AS YOU REDUCE SPEED, LIKE COMING TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT. IT WORKS FINE FOR AWHILE, BUT ON CERTAIN DAYS, IT STALLS EVERY TIME YOU SLOW DOWN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POINTS TO A GAS PEDAL SWITCH.

Mileage: 70,000

TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR WHEN STOPPING AFTER A LONG DRIVE. SO FAR TWO INSTANCES WHERE THE CAR FAILLED TO MOVE AFTER STOPPING AT A LIGHT AND AT A STOP SIGN AFTER DRIVING MORE THAN 50 MILES. DEALER CAN FIND NO PROBLEM WITH CAR.

A THREE OCCASIONS I HAVE SAT A STOP LIGHT WITH THE CAR IDLING, WITH A ROUGH SOUNDING IDLE, THE CAR SOUNDING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL. ON THE THIRD OCCASION, IT ACTUALLY DID STALL WITH ME NEEDING TO RESTART (WHICH LUCKILY IT DID) AS TRAFFIC WAS BEARING DOWN FROM BEHIND ON AN EARLY MORNING COMMUTE. I TOOK THE CAR TO GET SERVICED WITHIN THE NEXT TWO DAYS, WITH THE MECHANIC TELLING ME THAT CAR WAS DANGEROUSLY LOW ON OIL. I WAS SHOCKED AND SURPRISED TO HEAR THIS, AS I AM DILIGENT ABOUT GETTING MY OIL CHANGED ON TIME. THE OIL WAS CHANGED ONLY 3 MONTHS PRIOR AND THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS 3 QUARTS LOW ON OIL!! AFTER HEARING THIS, I'VE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR ISSUE FOR PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR YEAR MODEL EQUINOXES. SCARY AS I FELT HELPLESS SITTING STALLED IN HEAVY MORNING TRAFFIC. LUCKY I WASN'T HIT! *TR

UPON LEAVING THE HOME DRIVEWAY, AS THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE, THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE INFORMATION STATION FLASHED THE WARNING "STABILITRAC / POWER REDUCED". THE CAR WAS STILL DRIVE-ABLE, BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST THE FIRST TRANSMISSION GEAR. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE BACK HOME, I RESTARTED IT, AND THE SAME WARNING WAS DISPLAYED IN THE INFORMATION STATION. THE VEHICLE ALSO BEGAN TO IDLE VERY ROUGHLY AND EMIT THICK BLACK SMOKE. ALL INDICATIONS FROM INTERNET SOURCES POINT TO A BAD THROTTLE BODY, WHICH WAS LATER CONFIRMED BY THE CAR DEALERSHIP. ACCORDING TO THE MASSIVE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PART, IT HAS A VERY HIGH FAILURE RATE IN THIS VEHICLE. HOWEVER, CHEVY REFUSES TO COVER THIS PART AS PART OF THEIR POWER-TRAIN WARRANTY. THE "POWER REDUCED" CONDITION CAUSED BY THIS PART FAILURE IS A VERY DANGEROUS THING TO HAVE HAPPEN TO YOU IF YOU ARE TURNING IN A BUSY INTERSECTION OR ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, AND IF SOMETHING IS NOT DONE, THERE WILL BE INJURIES OR FATALITIES BECAUSE OF IT. *TR

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.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX AND THE MESSAGE "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED" DISPLAYED. THE CAR SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 30 MPH. THEN THE MESSAGE "SERVICE STABILITRACK" DISPLAYED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT AND SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN. I WAITED A MINUTE AND RESTARTED AND DROVE THE VEHICLE 20 MINUTES AND THE PROBLEM RE-OCCURRED. IT WAS SAT AFTERNOON, SO THE DEALER WAS CLOSED. I NURSED THE VEHICLE THE REST OF THE WEEKEND AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER MONDAY MORNING. THE DEALER SAYS IT IS A BAD THROTTLE BODY BEFORE THEY EVEN LOOKED AT THE CAR, WHICH TELLS ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT THE REPAIR, SO I HAD THEM DO THE SERVICE FOR $603 DOING SOME RESEARCH AND SPEAKING WITH SOME MECHANIC FRIENDS, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT OCCURS BETWEEN 50,000 - 60,000 MILES AND I FEEL SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. IF THIS HAD OCCURRED AT INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IT COULD HAVE LED TO AN ACCIDENT. *TR

WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING THE 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX LTZ AND THE VEHICLE GOES INTO "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED" MODE THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP WITHIN 10 FEET. YOU ARE UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL OR CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD IN ANY WAY WITH THE PHRASE SERVICE STABILITRACK APPEARING RIGHT AFTER. YOU CAN BE DRIVING SLOWLY AT 20-25 MILES PER HOUR OR FASTER AT 35-40 MILES PER HOUR AND THIS IS ABLE TO HAPPEN AT ANY MOMENT. TOTAL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS LOST AND THE ENGINE IS UNUSABLE. CHEVROLET INFORMED US THAT THIS IS CAUSED BY A BAD SENSOR IN THE THROTTLE BODY. THE SENSOR IS UNABLE TO BE REPLACED WITHOUT REPLACING THE ENTIRE THROTTLE BODY. THE VEHICLE IS UNUSABLE WITHOUT REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY AND THE THROTTLE BODY IS NOT COVERED AFTER THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY OF 24,000 MILES. FROM YEARS 2006-2009 THE THROTTLE BODY WAS COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AT 100,000 MILES. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET AND SPEAKING WITH LOCAL MECHANICS, IT HAS BEEN NOTED THAT MULTIPLE EQUINOX DRIVERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND IT ALWAYS OCCURS BETWEEN 50,000-60,000 MILES. FRANKLY THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND CHEVROLET DOES NOT CARE. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO EITHER INCLUDE THIS FAULTY PART IN A 100,000 MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY (AS THE ENGINE WILL NOT OPERATE WITHOUT IT) OR A RECALL SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED. IN THE EVENT THAT AN EQUINOX IS TRAVELING AT HIGHER SPEEDS (SUCH AS ON A HIGHWAY) THE SITUATION COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A FATAL INJURY. VIDEO OF THIS OCCURRING WILL BE PROVIDED UPON REQUEST. *TR

IT DOES SO TO THE POINT WHERE THE HOOD IS SHAKING. THE CAR ONLY HAS 54000 MILES ON IT.

THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES ANT INFREQUENT AND UNEXPECTED INTERVALS. IT HAS BEEN PRESENTED TO DEALERSHIPS MULTIPLE TIMES WITHOUT RESOLUTION. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION, THE MOTOR WILL LAG AND/OR DROP IN RPM SIMILAR TO A MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR. THE LAG CREATES A 1-2 SECOND DELAY IN THE TRANSMISSION PROPELLING THE VEHICLE FORWARD OR DOING SO AT A SPEED THAT IS CONSTANTLY INCREASING. THIS OCCURS WITHOUT REGARD TO THE AMOUNT THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDDLE IS DEPRESSED.

VEHICLE HAS HAD INORDINATE TRANSMISSION NOISE SINCE AROUND 10K MILEAGE. WHILE VEHICLE WAS IDLING, WENT INTO INCREDIBLY ROUGH IDLE, VEHICLE SHAKING WITH WARNING MESSAGE ABOUT STABILITRACK ERROR AND VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. WHILE THIS INITIALLY HAPPENED WHILE IDLING, IT ALSO HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AT SPEEDS FROM 20-50 MPH AS REPORTED BY SPOUSE. AFTER MULTIPLE TRIPS TO THE DEALER FOR UNACCEPTABLE ENGINE NOISE, ENGINE SHUTTING OFF AND CEL ILLUMINATION (SEPARATE ISSUE THAT HAS ALSO NEVER BEEN REMEDIED), AN ISSUE WITH THE TIMING CHAIN AND FUEL PUMP WAS ALLUDED TO AND THAT A "FIX" FOR THIS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN LATE SPRING OF 2013. FUEL PUMP AND TIMING CHAIN REPLACED AT NO CHARGE THAT SUMMER, BUT SIMILAR SYMPTOMS CONTINUED. LOUD, ROUGH IDLE, INTERMITTENT VEHICLE SHUTDOWNS. EVENTUALLY TOOK TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO STATED IT WAS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE AND THAT THIS SOMEHOW WAS NOT COVERED BY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THIS "USED" TO BE PART OF THE TRANSMISSION, IT SOMEHOW NO LONGER IS ON NEWER MODELS. AFTER A $500+ REPAIR, ISSUE HASN'T RECURRED IN LAST 3 MONTHS (SO FAR), BUT CEL STILL ILLUMINATES DURING WET CONDITIONS (WHICH BOTH DEALERS CANNOT SEEM TO FIX). I FEEL THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN A LEMON SINCE ABOUT 10K MILES AND CONTINUES TO BE SO. WE ONLY OWN CHEVY'S BUT BETWEEN THIS VEHICLE AND OUR APPARENTLY DANGEROUS '05 COBALT, WE CAN NO LONGER AFFORD TO PUT OUR TRUST IN CHEVY AND WILL NEED TO SEEK OUT OTHER VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS.

GOOD EVENING, 6 YEARS AGO I HAD A CHEVY COBALT AND EXPERIENCED THAT SITUATION. MY VEHICLE POWERED ITSELF OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND I WENT STRAIGHT FOR A WALL INSIDE A PARKING GARAGE. LATER THAT YEAR I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE VEHICLE. NOW I HAVE A 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS I WAS ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY AND MY VEHICLE POWERED OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME AND I DIDN'T GET KNOCKED OFF THE STREET OR EVEN WORSE KILLED. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP ONLY TO FIND OUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND MY CONCERN WAS SOMETHING UNHEARD. I EXPRESSED TO THEM MY CONCERN OF THAT HAPPENING ON A CROWDED HIGHWAY OR AN EXPRESSWAY. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I DROPPED MY VEHICLE OFF THERE AND LEFT IT FOR A DAY. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING DAY BEFORE GETTING OFF THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS READY I WENT TO PICK IT UP AND THEY HAD ME WAITING FOR 30 MINUTES.

I PURCHASED A NEW CHEVY EQUINOX ON MAY 13, 2011 FROM MARITIME MOTORS IN FAIRFIELD, CT IT HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE FROM THE BEGINNING DRIVETRAIN/TIMING ISSUES, BUCKING ON ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION AND PULSING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS. THE EQUINOX STILL OCCASIONALLY CLATTERS UPON STARTING (AFTER THE RECALL WAS APPARENTLY FIXED IN SUMMER 2011), AND THE VEHICLE ALSO PULSES AT STOP SIGNS AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS TO THE POINT IT FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL AND I HAVE TO REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE TO STOP THE PULSING. I HAVE HAD NOTHING FROM MARITIME MOTORS (OR GENERAL MOTORS) IN TERMS OF SUPPORT ON THIS ISSUE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE - I HAVE FIVE WITNESSES/PASSENGERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED MY CONCERNS. IN ADDITION, I HAVE TWO FRIENDS WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL (PURCHASED FROM MARITIME MOTORS) AND ARE EXPERIENCING IDENTICAL ISSUES. THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMER PROTECTION HAS RESOLVED FOUR RECENT COMPLAINTS WITH GM FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUES. *TR

MY 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX 4 CYLINDER SHIFTS HORRIBLY BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD. IF YOU ACCELERATE TO APPROX. 20 MPH AND REMOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE GAS THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES AND THEN IT SHIFTS TO 3RD GEAR WITH A JOLT THAT WOULD MAKE YOU THINK YOU WERE HIT FROM BEHIND. WHEN IT DOWN SHIFTS FROM 3RD TO 2ND IT IS LIKE AN ANCHOR WAS THROWN OUT THE BACK. RETURNED IT TO A CHEVY DEALER WHO WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT BUT SAID THAT IT WAS NORMAL AND THAT ALL EQUINOX DO IT. THEY HAD THEIR DISTRICT MANAGER CHECK ON IT AND HE SAID THAT CHEVY DESIGNED IT TO DO THAT AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. IT IS GOING BACK AGAIN TOMORROW TO A DIFFERENT DEALER BUT I EXPECT TO HERE THE SAME STORY. WHEN IMPORTS ARE DESIGNING CONSTANT VELOCITY TRANSMISSIONS THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN FEEL SHIFT, WHY WOULD GM DESIGN THEIRS TO JOLT YOU OUT OF YOUR SEAT. GUESS THEY NO LONGER WHAT MY BUSINESS. *TR

AT 4000 MILES THE RADIATOR FAILED AND THE CAR OVERHEATED. REPLACED RADIATOR. AT THE SAME TIME THERE WAS AND STILL IS A CLUNKING AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHEN UP-SHIFTING. THE CLUNK HAS BEEN SO DRAMATIC THAT I THOUGHT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THAT I WAS HIT FROM THE REAR. IT ACTUALLY MAKES ME SICK TO MY STOMACH DRIVING THE CAR AND MAKES PEOPLE IN THE BACK SICKER. ADDITIONALLY SOME WHERE ABOVE 30 MILES AN HOUR THE CAR HAS SEVERAL TIMES HESITATED AS IF RUNNING OUT OF GAS. THE GAS PEDDLE DOES NOT RESPOND PROPERLY, HESITATING BEFORE CATCHING ON. NOW AT 11,000 AND THREE RETURN VISITS TO THE DEALER THEY SAY THAT THIS IS HOW ALL EQUINOX CARS HAVE THIS DRIVE PERFORMANCE AND IT IS "NORMAL" . THIS WAS NOT AN ISSUE WHEN WE FIRST GOT THE CAR AND HAD I BEEN TOLD THAT SOME EQUINOX DRIVE LIKE THIS, I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR KNOWING THIS. I KNOW FROM SEARCHING THE INTERNET THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM IN 2009 AND STILL IS AND WAS SOLD A CAR THAT THEY KNEW COULD BE FAULTY WITHOUT A CURRENT SOFTWARE FIX. I WILL NOT DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN, ESPECIALLY KNOWING NOW THAT THEY CAN STALL AT 30 MILES AND HOUR. *TR

I STARTED MY CAR WHICH SOUNDED LIKE A JET ENGINE, LIKE IT WAS GOING TO GO AIRBORNE. I ACCELERATED AND GOING ONLY 5 MPH THE RPM RACED TO 4,000. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS AND THE CAR JERKED. I ACCELERATED AGAIN GOING ONLY 5 MPH AND AGAIN THE RPM RACED TO 4,000. THE CAR JERKED AGAIN AND I FELT LIKE I HAD BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND. I HAD JUST LEFT MY DRIVEWAY SO PULLED BACK IN AND CALLED MY DEALER. THE CAR WAS TOWED IN BUT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED NOR WAS THERE A CODE. I HAVE THE CAR BACK BUT EXPECT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE AN AIRPLANE TAKING OFF. I PULLED OUT ON THE STREET, ACCELERATED AND NOTICED THE NEEDLE GO UP TO 4 RPM'S AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES AN HOUR. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR JOLTED AND FELT LIKE I HAD BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND. I ACCELERATED AGAIN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED, AGAIN FEELING LIKE I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND. THE CAR IS PRESENTLY AT MY DEALERSHIP BUT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. TODAY THEY ARE GOING TO DRIVE IT FOR A GOOD DISTANCE ON THE EXPRESSWAY. I HAD READ ONE COMPLAINT ON THE EQUINOX FORUM WHERE SOMEONE WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AND SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR HAPPENED TO THEM WITH THE RPM STICKING AT 4 RPM'S. I TOLD MY DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS AND ASK IF MAYBE THEY ARE RELATED PROBLEMS. *TR

TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. IT WILL EITHER HANG UP IN THE LAST GEAR OR SHIFT HARD WITH A CLUNK INTO THE NEXT GEAR.
