2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

I HAD MY EQUINOX REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL FOR OIL CONSUMPTION, YET IT IS STILL BURNING OIL. THE HEAT AND AC ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY, TO GET HEAT I HAVE TO TURN THE DIAL BACK AND FORTH AND MAYBE IT WILL WORK MOST OF THE TIME I HAVE TO DRIVE ABOUT A HALF A MILE FOR IT TO BLOW HEAT. THE AC IS JUST NOT WORKING AT ALL. THE INFO PANEL IN THE CENTER OF THE DASH WILL GO OUT AND COME BACK ON LATER. WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR WILL JUST SLOW DOWN LIKE I'M NOT PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AT ALL. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO GET STUCK IN A GEAR CAUSING THE RPMS TO RISE AND STAY UNTIL I TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR. THE CAR MAKES A CLICKING SOUND WHEN TURNING. IT SHAKES AT 60 MPH. ALSO I HAVE REPLACED HEADLIGHTS 2 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR.

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

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR, THEN IT WOULD GO INTO FORWARD AND NOT REVERSE TOOK IT TO CHEVY AND WAS TOLD WE NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION

ITS A TICKING NOISE WHEN STARTED UP THEN LIGHTS FROM THE DASH BOARD TO THE HEAD LIGHTS, FLICKS OFF AND ON AND THE HORN GOES OUT AT THE SAME TIME. WHEN DRIVING THE IDLE DONT SEEM TO PICK UP SPEED THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO HAS PROBLEM IT MAKE THIS HORRIBLE LOUD NOISE AND THE CAR DO SEEM TO DRIVE RIGHT. THE CV JOINT IS GOING BAD FOR THE 5 TIME AND THE BARS THE WHEELS MAKE THIS LOUD NOISE I ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 5 YRS (CHEVY EQUINOX 2010) AND MOST I HAD TO REPLACE, NOW ITS GOING BAD AGAIN. THE TRANSMISSION IS THE BIG PROBLEM NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE AGAIN I MIGHT AS WELL GET AN WHOLE NEW CAR

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING IN THE RAIN, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS THE WIPER MOTOR, DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS THIS TIME. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A STREET

ON FEBRUARY 26, I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 EQUINOX TO MY MECHANIC FOR AN ANNUAL VEHICLE INSPECTION AND TO FIND OUT WHY MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON. AS I WAS DRIVING SMOKE STARTED FLOWING OUT FROM UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD. I STOPPED THE CAR AND GOT OUT THINKING IT WAS GOING TO GO ON FIRE. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, THE SMOKE STOPPED AND I PROCEEDED TO MY MECHANIC. ON MARCH 10TH MY MECHANIC HAD THE CAR IN HIS GARAGE AND WAS COMPLETING THE INSPECTION AND HE DECIDED TO INVESTIGATE WHY THE CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN SMOKING. HE DECIDED TO LET THE CAR IDLE IN THE SHOP TO SEE IF IT WOULD START SMOKING. AS MOMENTS PASSED THE MECHANIC TOLD ME HE HEARD A 'FIRECRACKER' SOUND AND LOOKED TO SEE THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT REASON. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC TO TAKE IT TO A CHEVY DEALER. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND TOLD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THIS STORY AND THEY WERE UNSURE WHY THIS WOULD HAPPEN. THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT YET HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THE DEALER OR MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO RECTIFY IT WITHOUT COST TO THE OWNER. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE HORROR THAT WOULD HAVE ENSUED IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING.

BLOWER MOTOR THAT DEFROST WINDSHIELD CUTS IN AND OUT. NEED TO RUN ON HIGH TO KEEP IT WORKING. TODAY IT TOTALLY CUT OUT WILL DRIVING ON FREEWAY

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY HUSBAND, THREE SMALL CHILDREN AND UNBORN CHILD WHEN MY EQUINOX SHUT OFF I'M THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING AND WHITE SMOKE APPEARED FROM UNDER THE HOOD. IT WOULD START BUT AS SOON AS I PUT IT INTO GEAR THE ENGINE WOULD CUT OFF. FINALLY THE ENGINE JUST COMPLETELY STOPPED CUTTING ON. MY HUSBAND, A POLICE OFFICER AND A GOOD SAMARITAN WERE ABLE TO PUSH THE CHEVY OFF THE ROAD INTO THE DITCH SAFELY. THE CHEVY THEN HAD TO BE TOWED TO A CAR SHOP TO GET LOOKED AT. THIS VEHICLE CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING IT!!! WITH CHILDREN IN THE BACK. THEN ENGINE BLEW A HOLE THROUGH IT. LESS THAN 200,000 MILES ON IT WITH BRAND NEW SPARK PLUGS AND A FRESH OIL CHANGE. CERTAIN MODELS OF CHEVY HAVE AN ENGINE DEFECT WHICH IS INTERNALLY IN THE ENGINE. YOUR VEHICLE WILL BURN OIL WITH NO OIL LIGHT COMING ON TO LET YOU KNOW. THERE'S NO LEAK COMING FROM ANYWHERE. THE ENGINE JUST DRINKS IT ALL UP WITHIN A FEW DAYS AND THEN WILL BLOW UP IF YOU'RE NOT KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT VEHICLES. I WAS ON A BUSY ROAD WHEN ALL OF THIS HAPPENED. WE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED IF IT WASN'T FOR US GOING LESS THAN THE SPEED LIMIT.

THE AUTOMOTIVE TROUBLE CODE P2135 THROTTLE/PEDAL POSITION SENSOR/SWITCH A/B VOLTAGE CORRELATION REFERS TO A PROBLEM RELATED TO THE THROTTLE'S ABILITY TO OPEN AND CLOSE PROPERLY. ... A THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS) IS SITUATED OPPOSITE THE THROTTLE LINKAGE CONNECTION ON THE THROTTLE PLATE. WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN AN ALARM WENT OFF ON MY DASH SAYING A SENSOR WAS BAD. NEXT THING THE CAR SAID LOSING POWER TO ENGINE AND MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AND DECELERATING.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING OR ANY EVIDENCE OF PROBLEM I TURNED THE CORNER OF A INTERSECTION AND THE ENGINE WHILE STILL RUNNING LOST ALL POWER FOR ACCELERATION. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO INJURY TO MYSELF OR THE VEHICLE. I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART , THERE SEEMED TO BE NO PRESSURE IT WAS LATER DETERMIN HAT THE TIMING CHAIN AND CAMSHAFT BROKE SENDING METAL THROUGH OUT THE ENGINE. RESULTING IN THE NEED FOR A NEW ENGINE. THIS IS PROBLEM CAUSE BY THE OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE WHICH I DID HAVE REPAIRED. THE OIL WAS FULL AND TRUCK DROVE GREAT ONE MINUTE THEN THE NEXT MINUTE THE ENGINE WAS GONE CHEVY NEEDS TO EVALUATE AND HELP CONSUMERS WITH THESE TYPE PROBLEM RELATED TO KNOWN RECALLS. WE HAVE INVESTED OR MONEY IN A PRODUCT THAT FAILS US DUE TO ENGINEERING ISSUES CAUSING THE CONSUMER ADDED EXPENSES
