three times now my gas pedal has stuck down to the floor and had unsafe speeds reaching 95mph this is unsafe for us and others on the road wrote GM several times now with no help from them this needs to be checked out for everyone out there how many wrecks and rear end collision happened because of this acceleration issue mine seem to happen when you take it off cruise control and then accelerate the gas pedal but he dealerships can't find an answer I am asking for your help before someone get killed because no one wants to take action

catalytic converter, exhuast manifold, and whole exhaust system need to be replaced

I had just bought this car from a friend of mine and the first couple days it was fine then I was on the interstate and it started making this loud sound and stop going in the middle of the interstate and I was stuck on the interstate with my child and couldn’t get the dam thing to go anywhere I called someone to come help me they looked at it and said it was the engine or the time and chain I’m not really sure of what the problem is but it scared me so back I couldn’t get over to the shoulder to save my life I was stuck

purchased the car from some that passed away and did not get these items fixed before I got it. coverter/ lossing/using oil, and electric power steering system problem

I purchased a 2011 Chevy Equinox LT from a used car dealer in April 2022 with 153,000 miles on it. The second day I had it the brake caliper completely fell off of my front passenger tire causing my wheels to lock. Couple days later I noticed that after an extended time of driving anything more than 10-15 minutes it. The RPMs would fluctuate sometimes dropping down to zero and the vehicle stalls. The excessive amount of oil used in this vehicle is ridiculous I literally got an oil change and a week later it said I was low but my oil notification on my Dash messages said oil life remaining 95% check engine light comes on and it's the p0042 for catalyst system not at threshold. This literally should be a class action lawsuit because this is ridiculous

i was pulling out of a business in my town and the vehicle shut off several feet onto highway us 41 with traffic comeing both way towards me and i was stopped crossways and coasted into a vacant lot .i kept pushing the accelerator and it stated back up and stopped again ,then suddenly started and i made it home!i had it checked at my home by a licened mechanicand all codes read everything was w.orking as it should,no default error, i could have easily ben killed when it stopped,now what should i do?

The back hatchback will not stay open and has caused some minor injuries on accessing objects in back of car..

Windshield wiper linkage motor/ transmission. Replaced once already. Stopped working again. Bushings are crap. Having to replace the whole thing for bad bushings.

TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THE PROBLEM IS THE SPEED SENSOR. IT WAS REPAIRED FOR $463.91. I THEN TRAVELED 31/2 HOURS AWAY FOR A MONTH. THE NEXT DAY THE LIGHT AGAIN APPEARED BUT I WAS TRAVELING AND I CALLED TWICE TO THE DEALER SERVICE PERSON AND THERE WAS NO RETURN CALL..WHEN I RETURNED 4 WEEKS LATER I BROUGHT THE CAR IN THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD FOR $585.00 I COULD HAVE THE LEFT REAR WHEEL REPAIRED.FRANKLY I FELT LIKE I WAS BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF, I'M 80 YEARS OLD. I REFUSED THEIR OFFER. IN THE PAST I RECEIVED NOTICES OF POTENTIAL PROBLEMS WITH THE EQUINOX BUT THE DEALER SERVICE PEOPLE DO NOT INFORM, MAYBE BECAUSE THEY ARE ON A COMMISSION PLUS SALARY INCOME.

WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN ON A HIGHWAY MY FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS SIMPLY STOPPED FUNCTIONING IN THE UP POSITION CAUSING AN INABILITY TO SEE WHERE I WAS GOING. THEY DID NOT RESPOND TO REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO TRY TO TURN THEM BACK ON. THIS CREATED A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE I HAD TO DO MY BEST TO SAFELY PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. MY HAZARD LIGHTS ALSO FAILED TO WORK MAKING THE SITUATION EVEN MORE DANGEROUS. BOTH WIPERS AND HAZARDS WHERE PREVIOUSLY WORKING. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2011 EQUINOX IN MAY A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER HAVING THE CAR I WAS HEARING CLICKING NOISES TOOK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME IT WAS JUST THE AIR CONDITION. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER MY CAR STARTED TO ROCK BACK IN FOURTH WHEN AT A LIGHT AND SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THEY TOLD ME IT WAS AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE AND I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. I TOOK IT IN THEY SAID THAT I NEEDED A TIMING CHAIN FILED UNDER MU WARRANTY AND I PAID THE DEDUCTIBLE. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT IT WASN'T GOING TO FIX THE ISSUE STATING I NEEDED TO BRING IT BACK AFTER A 1000 MILES AND THAT GM WOULD HANDLE THE PROBLEM AT HAND. I THEN TOOK IT BACK AND BEHIND MY BACK THEY TRIED TO CALL MY WARRANTY COMPANY TO SEE IF THEY WOULD PAY. MY WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THEIR PROBLEM. THEN WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD HANDLE EVERYTHING BUT I STILL WOULD HAVE TO PAY MONEY OUT OF POCKET. IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN 90 DAYS SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE.

AT ABOUT 88,000 MILES, WHILE STARTING FROM A STOP, AND ALSO WHILE CLIMBING A HILL, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP INTO A NEUTRAL POSITION INSTEAD OF A HIGHER OR LOWER GEAR. I HAD TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND LET IT IDLE DOWN BEFORE IT WOULD GO INTO A GEAR.02

POSSIBLE ISSUE WITH INSIDE THE INTAKE CRANK CASE AND WITH THAT I DON'T WANT A BLOW OUT. LOSING POWER AND USING A LOT OF OIL. I HAVE THE 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX LT PURCHASED LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO.

AFTER THEY REPAIRED IT THE CAR CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS. WHEN I'M AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR DRIVES ROUGH LIKE A JERKING SENSATION AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES. THIS CAR HAS HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS.

TAKATA RECALL. MY 2011 EQUINOX WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF . I WENT TO GET MY 2 YEAR OLD OUT OF THE CAR AND THE CAR TOOK ITSELF OUT OF PARK. I WAS DRAGED BY THE DOOR AND RECEIVED MANY INJURIES. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY NEIGHBORS DRIVEWAY WHEN IT BEGAN ROLLING BACKWARDS WITH MY KIDS INSIDE.

Mileage: 115,000

RATTLES WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE. SMELLS OF GASOLINE FROM VEHICLE WHEN RUNNING. THIS BEGAN IN DECEMBER 2017 AND CONTINUES TO THIS DAY

TIMING BELT FAILED WITHIN TWO YEARS OF THE FIRST TIME BEING FIXED. FIRST TIME WAS WHEN VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED AT APPROX 123K, SECOND TIME IT HAS FAILED IS APPROX 179K. THERE IS AN ONGOING OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HEARD THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE OIL ISSUE THAT WAS NOT PUBLICALLY ANNOUNCED AND I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT WHY IT WASNT IF IN FACT THIS IS AN ISSUE. TIMING BELT SHOULD NOT FAIL TWICE . TOOK VEHICLE IN TO SHOP AFTER VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND JUMPING WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT, IN DRIVE WITH THE BREAKS ON. WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE, VECHICLE WOULD DRIVE BUT HAD SEVERE LOSS IN POER AND WAS VIBRATING THE WHOLE TIME. UPON TAKING TO THE SHOP AND HAVING AN ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE, IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS INDEED STRETCHED OUT AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPAIRED AT A COST OF $2500. THIS REPAIR HAD BEEN MADE TWO YEARS PRIOR AS WELL , HAVING HAD TO REPLACE THE CHAINS AND SUCH DUE TO THIS RECURRING AND ONGOIGN OIL ISSUE

Mileage: 178,500

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!

Mileage: 100,000

HAD MY CAR FOR 6 YEARS AND CHANGED OIL EVERY 3000 MILES. LAST WEEK IT RAN OUT OF OIL OVERNIGHT! AND NOW I'VE BEEN HAVING TO PUT IN A QUART OF OIL EVERY 200 MILES OR SO. IT COULD HAVE CEASED UP MY WHOLE ENGINE AND RUINED IT! THE ENGINE LIGHT DIDN'T EVEN GO ON TO TELL ME THERE WAS AN ISSUE. IT IS LIKE IT WAS A SNEAK ATTACK AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS SORT OF THING IS HAPPENING TO OTHER OWNERS. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED WHEN THEY FOUND THIS ISSUE. AS IT IS, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE MAJOR REPAIRS DONE TO USE IT AT ALL. CAR WILL BE WORTH LESS THAN REPAIRS AND IT'S NOT EVEN PAID OFF YET.

Mileage: 170,000

EVER SINCE I HAVE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IT IS A LEMON. I HAVE ALL THE RECEIPTS AS WELL AS RESEARCH THAT GM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES AND EVERYONE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS MYSELF. FROM THE OIL CONSUMPTION AND STILL HAVING PROBLEMS AND EVEN SMELLS LIKE BURNING CAUSING ODOR WHICH IS VERY STRONG, STALLING ISSUES WHERE MY CAR HAS EVEN STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AFTER A NEW ENGINE WAS PUT IN, THE ENGINE TICKING STILL DOES AND STALLING EVEN WITH NEW ENGINE PUT IN HAVE VIDEO OF THE SOUNDS IT MAKES THAT THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON AFTER ALL THIS TIME AND THE CLATTERING NOISE WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED. I HAVE CONTACTED GM NUMEROUS TIMES BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH ME NOR MY CHILDREN IN THIS CAR. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND THEY STILL WON'T RECALL THE VEHICLE AND BE CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF THE CUSTOMER. I HAVE ALL MY RECEIPTS AS WELL AS ALL THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE AND EVEN THE DEALER KEEPS GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND WITH EVERYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND SAYS IT'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT ALL THE TIME JUST TO TRY AND GET MORE MONEY AND STILL HAVING TO TAKE IT IN THE SHOP BUT THIS TIME WAS TOLD OH IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BUT YET TRIED TO SAY IT WAS THE TIRES THIS TIME WHICH IT WASN'T BECAUSE THERE IS BRAND NEW TIRES ON IT. SO I HATE DRIVING THIS CAR EVEN TO WORK LET ALONE WITH MY CHILDREN BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL STOP AGAIN AND CAUSE ME TO WRECK OR GET HIT OR EVEN THE FUMES CAUSING PROBLEMS WHICH THEY DON'T NEED TO INHALE. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF ALL THE ISSUES I HAVE HAD AND STILL CONTINUE TO HAVE AND PROVIDE ME WITH A SAFER VEHICLE. I HAVE ALREADY FILED WITH THE BBB AND WILL BE SPEAKING WITH STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL AS WELL. IF NEED PROOF OF RECEIPTS I CAN FAX THOSE.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS BAD AND THERE IS KNOCKING IN THE FUEL SYSTEM

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.

STALLING OUT WHILE SITTING IN DRIVE AT RED LIGHT. GOT UP FOR WORK AND TURNED TRUCK ON, SOUNDED VERY ROUGH. 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. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I HAVE READ WELL OVER 50 OF THE SAME COMPLAINT OF THESE VEHICLES DOING THE SAME THING! WE NEED HELP!

AFTER LIFTING THE AUTOMATIC LIFTGATE WITH THE KEY FOB IT WENT UP AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT FELL ALMOST HITTING MY HUSBAND . DATES ARE NOT APPROXIMATE . WE GOT THE RIGHT SIDE FIXED AND WAS TOLD THE LEFT SIDE NEEDS FIXED ALSO IS THIS A RECALLED ITEM

Mileage: 78,000

I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2014 WITH APPROX. 80,000 MILES ON IT BUT WAS TOLD BY THE SALES ASSOCIATE THAT THIS WAS A GREAT CAR AND A GREAT DEAL. THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. THE CAR HAS A TICKING NOISE AND SOUNDS LIKE A DIESEL BUT EVERYTIME I TOOK IT IN TO CHEVY THEY TOLD ME THIS IS THE WAY CHEVY CARS SOUND AND THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. FINALLY MY ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON AND THE CAR WILL NO LONGER TURN ON SO I HAVE TO GET IT TOWED AND THEY TELL ME THE INTAKE CAM ACTUATOR SOLENOIDS WENT OUT SO THEY REPLACED IT. THEN I CONTINUE TO HEAR THE TICKING NOISE AND THE CAR STILL RUNS ROUGH AND LOUD BUT AGAIN THEY TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. ONCE AGAIN THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND I HAVE TO GET TOWED BACK INTO TOWN OVER TWO HOURS AWAY FOR THEM TO TELL ME THE TRANMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I CONTACTED GM AND WAS TOLD THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU BUY A USED CAR. HOW RUDE! NOW I AM NO LONGER UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND MY CAR IS BACK AT CHEVY. THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR 4 HOURS OF LABOR TO TAKE APART MY ENGINE SO THEY CAN TELL ME WHAT EXACTLY IS WRONG WITH MY CAR BUT DID MENTION A PROBLEM WITH THE TIMING CHAIN. ARE THEY CRAZY? THESE CARS ARE A COMPLETE JOKE. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT GM WOULD NOT RECALL THESE CARS WITH THE EXTENSIVE ISSUES THAT SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THEM. I MEAN SERIOUSLY THEY SHOULD BACK UP THEIR PRODUCTS SO PEOPLE WILL CONTINUE TO BUY THEM. IF YOU ASK ME IM SURE THIS CAR HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION WHICH WAS WHY I HEARD THE TICKING NOISE AND IS WHY THE CAR SOUNDED SO LOUD AND HEAVY LIKE A DIESEL. THEY NOT THESE CARS HAVE A MAJOR ENGINE ISSUE BUT DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. I STILL HAVE SEVERAL YEARS LEFT TO PAY OFF THIS CAR AND AM COMPLETELY UPSIDE DOWN. ALL I WANT IS FOR GM TO PAY OFF THIS CAR SO I CAN TAKE MY SERVICES ELSEWHERE. DROVE A HONDA WITH OVER 200,000 MILES BEFORE IT GAVE ME ANY TYPE OF PROBLEMS. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Mileage: 116,000

MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND SOMETIMES WHEN I START TO ACCELERATE MY CAR IT WILL JUST DIE (EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC!!!). IT HAS HAPPENED 9+ TIMES ALREADY AND SOME OF THOSE TIMES THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON.

Mileage: 140,000

GM RECALLED 590002010 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX OVER FAULTY DEFROSTERS, I HAVE A 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX WITH THE SAME ISSUES AS DESCRIBED IN AUTO BLOG DATED DECEMBER 28 2009. IT'S MY FEELING THAT THE SAME PARTS ARE INSTALLED IN MY VEHICLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IF THIS IS THE CASE WHY DID NOT CHEVROLET RECALL THE 2011 AS WELL?

Mileage: 117,380

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.

Mileage: 8,000

I BOUGHT MY 2011 EQUINOX NEW IN APRIL, 2011. THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY JUST EXPIRED APRIL, 2016. I JUST HAD TO HAVE A NEW A/C COMPRESSOR INSTALLED ($745) AND MY CAR ONLY HAS 26,300 MILES! OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND OF COURSE THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE A CERTIFIED MECHANIC REPLACED THE COMPRESSOR AND I DIDN'T TAKE IT TO A CERTIFIED CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. I HAVE LOST FAITH IN CHEVROLET.

Mileage: 26,300

VEHICLE STALLED WHEN ENGAGING DRIVE GEAR. CODE INDICATES ENGINE VARIABLE TIMING SOLENOID INTAKE TO BE REPLACES.

Mileage: 34,800

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH AN 18 WHEELER BEHIND ME, THE VEHICLE STOPPED GOING FORWARD WHEN I PUSHED ON THE GAS. IT WAS STILL RUNNING BUT HAD NO POWER AND BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN TO NOTHING. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT WAS ALMOST RUN OVER DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. I CUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND TRIED TO RESTART IT, BUT IT WOULD ONLY MAKE A CLICKING SOUND. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP WE TOWED IT TO, THE TIMING CHAIN SLIPPED AND RUINED THE MOTOR. THIS IS A 2011 VEHICLE WITH ONLY 73000 MILES ON IT. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED AND SINCE WE MADE OUR FINAL PAYMENT LAST MONTH, NONE OF IT IS UNDER WARRANTY. SURELY THIS IS NOT TYPICAL OF THIS VEHICLE AND THE CHEVROLET COMPANY CAN STAND BEHIND THIS REPAIR.

Mileage: 73,000

THE HEADRESTS ON THIS CAR PUSH MY HEAD SO FAR FORWARD THAT I HAVE TERRIBLE PAIN WHILE DRIVING. I ALSO CANNOT SEE WHERE I AM GOING DUE TO THE EXTREME ANGLE OF MY HEAD JUTTING FORWARD. NOT TOO SAFE--ANY REASONABLE PERSON CAN FIGURE THIS OUT. IN ADDITION, THE CAR IS BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL. ALSO, WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AFTER SLOWING DOWN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, IT BOGS. AGAIN, NOT VERY SAFE. THIS CAR IS A PIECE OF CRAP--NEVER AGAIN WILL I GET A CHEVROLET. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!!

Mileage: 5,000

THE OBD LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY COMES ON. THE DEALER CANNOT FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE SPEND LOTS OF MONEY ON THIS CAR.

I BOUGHT MY 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX BRAND NEW, IN 2011. 4/2015 I HAD A LEAK IN MY A/C LINE RESULTING IN A $450 CHARGE (MY WARRANTY HAD JUST EXPIRED). NOW, 10 MONTHS LATER UPON TURNING ON MY A/C FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR, YET AGAIN MY A/C IS NOT WORKING. IN TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY, I'M NOW TOLD THAT MY COMPRESSOR NEEDS REPLACING WITH A PRICE TAG OF $963. UPON ONLINE RESEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AMONGST 2010 AND 2011 EQUINOX. I'M NOT SURE AS TO WHY CHEVROLET HASN'T LOOKED FURTHER INTO THIS ISSUE AND/OR ISSUED A RECALL. THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING ON VEHICLES THAT ARE 4-5 YEARS OLD. HAVING TO HAVE MY A/C WORKED ON TWICE ON A THEN 4 YEAR OLD, NOW 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE IS ABSURD. SOUNDS TO ME LIKE FAULTY EQUIPMENT.

Mileage: 80,000

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM/CHEVROLET IN AUGUST 2015 REGARDING OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES IN MY 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX (SERVICE BULLETIN NO.: SB-15285). I AM CURRENTLY HAVING THIS ISSUE MONITORED FOR THIS AS I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE BRING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP EVERY 1,000 MILES FOR MONITORING BEFORE THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. IN THE MEANTIME I HAVE GOTTEN A CHECK ENGINE CODE P0420 WHICH RELATES TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. MY EQUINOX HAS JUST AT 84,500 MILES ON IT AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WARRANTY IS ONLY 80,000. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING AND WAS TOLD THE CONVERTER NEEDED REPLACING. AFTER SPEAKING WITH MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS AND MECHANICS I UNDERSTAND AND HAVE BEEN TOLD MULTIPLE TIMES THAT THE OIL CONSUMPTION AND PISTON ISSUES HAVE CAUSED THIS PROBLEM YET GM/CHEVROLET IS TELLING ME THEY WILL ONLY HELP ME APPROXIMATELY $200 TO HELP WITH THE NEW CONVERTER. THEY MUST KNOW THIS IS WHAT'S CAUSED THIS ISSUE AS IT APPEARS THAT A LOT THE 2010 EQUINOX HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AND PROBLEMS. I WOULD REALLY LIKE FOR GM/CHEVROLET TO FIX THE CONVERTER ON MY EQUINOX AT 100% THEIR COST AS IT HAS HAD MULTIPLE OTHER ISSUES INCLUDING TRANSMISSION (COVERED UNDER A BULLETIN LISTED ON YOUR SITE HERE) , CAMSHAFT ACTUATOR (COVERED UNDER A BULLETIN LISTED ON YOUR SITE HERE), ETC. THE CONVERTER PER QUOTES ARE ANYWHERE FROM $600-$1,200 WHICH IS A LOT OF MONEY FOR AN ISSUE THAT WAS CAUSED BY THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE THEY KNOW ABOUT, BUT HAVE TO MONITOR FIRST BEFORE THEY WILL FIX IT.

I HAD A CONCUSSION AND THE AMBULANCE TOOK ME TO THE HOSPITAL BEING AS I HAD BEEN UNCONSCIOUS. SPENT ONE DAY IN THE HOSPITAL WITH LOTS OF TESTS TO SEE IF MY SPINE WAS DAMAGED. NO DAMAGE THERE AFTER LYING IN THEIR BED WITH A NECK BRACE ON. WILL HAVE FOLLOW UP WITH NEOUROLOGIST WITH MORE TESTS.

COLUMBIA, SC--I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR AN IGNITION ISSUE AND TOLD THEM THAT I WAS HAVING A WHINING-TYPE ENGINE NOISE WHEN I ACCELERATED WHILE THE A/C WAS ON, AND THAT THE A/C WAS STARTING TO LOSE ITS COOLING CAPACITY. THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT MY COMPRESSOR WAS GOING OUT, BUT THAT IT WOULD PROBABLY LAST INTO THE SUMMER, BUT BY THE END OF APRIL I HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED, TO THE TUNE OF $1260. EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BECAUSE OF YEARS, IT HAD LESS THAN 28,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF THE COMPRESSOR FAILURE. I CONTACTED GM AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS BEYOND THEIR 3-YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD. I POSTED THIS ISSUE ON A SITE CALLED REPAIRPAL, AND I HAVE RECEIVED NUMEROUS EMAILS FROM OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

Mileage: 26,500

I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH MY 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX THAT STARTED OCCURRING ABOUT A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED IT. THE MAIN CONCERNS ARE THE ENGINE NOISE AND HOW ROUGH IT RUNS, FEELING AS THOUGH I AM BEING REAR-ENDED IN TRAFFIC (WHEN MOVING FORWARD FROM A COMPLETE STOP IT LURCHES FORWARD, GIVING THE FEELING OF BEING HIT), ROUGH START UP (SOUNDS LIKE AN OLD CAR AT TIMES) AND THE CAR STUTTERS WHEN ACCELERATING (ALMOST FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL OUT). I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR NOW AND HAVE READ THAT MANY OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. I HAVE TAKEN IT FOUR TIMES GIVING THEM THE SAME DESCRIPTION EACH TIME AT WHICH THEY STATE THAT THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THESE ISSUES. THEY KEEP MY CAR FOR HOURS AND DO NOTHING TO IT. I AM A SINGLE MOM SO I CAN'T LEAVE MY CAR WITHOUT IT CAUSING MAJOR ISSUES FOR ME AS I HAVE TO TAKE MY SON TO AND FROM SCHOOL. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM STATING THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP AND ENGINE BALANCE CHAIN AND DESCRIBES WHAT MY VEHICLE IS DOING NOW-I BELIEVE I HAVE ENGINE DAMAGE AND I AM WORRIED THAT I WILL END UP BREAKING DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT SOME POINT OR WORSE STALL OUT AND END UP IN AN ACCIDENT! IN ADDITION TO THE ENGINE PROBLEMS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DEFROSTER, IT JUST DOESN'T CLEAR THE WINDOWS FAST ENOUGH, ON GOING PROBLEMS WITH THE STEREO (MAKES A STATIC, DISTORTED SOUND WITH THE USB PORT) AND THE DRIVERS SIDE SQUEAKS BECAUSE IT RUBS UP AGAINST THE MIDDLE CONSOLE. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE THE PROBLEMS ARE INTERMITTENT. I AM HOPING THAT ENOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUES WITH REGARD TO THE ENGINE AND CAUSE GM TO DEAL WITH IT APPROPRIATELY! WE SHOULD NOT FEEL AFRAID THAT OUR NEW CAR WILL BREAK DOWN ON US, ESPECIALLY WITH OUR CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLES! *TR

NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE OR MILEAGE VEHICLE MESSED UP FIRST TIME. WE BOUGHT IT ON JANUARY 19, 2011, MESSED UP WITHIN FIRST FEW DAYS OF HAVING IT. IT'S HAPPENED TWICE, WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED, BUT IN DRIVE (EX. RED LIGHT), THEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL IT WILL EITHER NOT GO AT ALL, OR BARELY GO AND THEN NOT GO ANY FURTHER. HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, SHUT OFF, THEN TURN CAR BACK ON TO MAKE IT WORK RIGHT. TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES, THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG OR DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, OR ANY LIGHTS AT ALL. CONTACTED GM ALSO, THEY ARE NOT MUCH HELP EITHER, SAY WE HAVE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BEFORE TAKING ANY FURTHER STEPS. DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THE CAR, I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN. THEY HAVE BEEN WITH ME BOTH TIMES IT HAS MESSED UP. THE FIRST TIME WE WERE STRANDED BETWEEN TWO LANES OF ON COMING TRAFFIC.
