2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

I HAVE TO REPLACE THROTTLE BODY BECAUSE MY CAR WOULD JUST STALL WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS WELL AS REPLACING MY MUFFLER. CURRENTLY I HAVE A NEW SET OF BRAKES THAT SQUEAL LIKE NO TOMORROW AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT JUST CAME ON GIVING ME CODES TO REPLACE 2 CAMSHAFT POSITIONING SOLENOID ACTUATOR AND FINALLY THE CAR IT TURNING INTO A COMPLETE RUST BUCKET. .

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

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE DOORS ARE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THEMSELVES, RADIO AND HEAT TURNS OFF AND ON, BLINKERS NOT WORKING,HEADLIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES, AIRBAG, STABILITY CONTROL AND ABS FLASH ON AND OFF ON DASH. RPM AND SPEEDOMETER ARE AT ZERO WHILE DRIVING AND ACCELERATING, GAS HAND SHOWS ON LOW FUEL WHEN THERE'S GAS ON THE CAR. TOOK TO HAVE VEHICLE SCANNED AND ALTERNATOR IS READING AT TOO HIGH VOLTAGE AND REVIVED 15 ERROR CODES ALL RELATING TO SPEED SENSOR, ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODEL MALFUNCTION, POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE AND CAMSHAFT POSITION CIRCUIT ERRORS ETC.

GENERAL MOTORS HAVE BEEN AT NO ASSISTANCE TO ME SINCE MY PURCHASE OF MY 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX I PURCHASED IT FEBRUARY/MARCH OF 2016 AND HAVE HAD CONTINUOUS ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE, I CONTACTED THE PLACE OF PURCHASE AND GENERAL MOTORS NUMEROUS TIMES ABOUT THE COMPLAINT OF MY VEHICLE. ALSO WITH THE ATTACHED PROOF OF REPAIRS I REFERRED TO THE DEALERS WHO DID THE REPAIRS AND GENERAL MOTORS OF ANY CURRENT RECALLS. BACK IN OCTOBER 2019 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BECAUSE MY CONVERTER WENT OUT AND MY 100K WARRANTY EXPIRED, GM WAS NOT IN UNDERSTANDING AND WOULD NOT ASSIST. THEN I DID MY OWN RESEARCH AND FOUND THERE WAS A OIL CONSUMPTION LAW SUITE AND A SEPARATE SPECIAL EXTENDED WARRANTY IN THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER BUT ONLY UNTIL 120K. MY ISSUE IS GENERAL MOTORS WILL NOT ASSIST ME DUE TO ME BEING OVER THE 120K MILEAGE EVEN THOUGH I INQUIRED ABOUT IT TIME AFTER TIME SINCE THE TIME I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE KEPT UP TO DATE IN MY ADDRESS EVEN WHEN I MOVED OUT OF STATE. I'M JUST LOOKING FOR ASSISTANCE IN WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE LAW SUITE OR COVERED WITH THE SPECIAL WARRANTY WITH MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY MAIL NOTIFICATION AND ALL MY REPAIRS WERE DONE AT A LICENSED CERTIFIED GENERAL MOTOR DEALER AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE/RECALLS AND I WAS NOT TOLD OF THE ISSUES. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED SINCE I SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON IT AS IT IS. I HAD TO DO MY OWN RESEARCH ONLINE TO FIND THIS INFORMATION WHICH COULD OF BEEN AVOIDED IF I WAS CONTACTED FRONT THE BEGINNING. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF A RECALL BUT ONCE BACK IN 2016 FOR A WINDSHIELD WIPER RECALL

I BOUGHT MY USED 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX FROM THE DEALER, AND 2 WEEKS LATER THE SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY DID AN ALIGNMENT AND THE SAME DAY THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON WITH TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO THE GROCERY STORE, AND WHEN I TRIED TO START IT TO LEAVE IT WOULDN'T START. AFTER 2 TRIES, IT FINALLY STARTED BUT THEN THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULDN'T GO ABOVE 25 MPH. EVENTUALLY THE VEHICLE POWERED DOWN AND I HAD TO PULL OVER FOR A TOW TRUCK TO COME. THE CHEVY DEALER SAID IT WAS THE MAIN TIMING CHAIN (NOT COVERED) AND SOMETHING ELSE IN THE ENGINE BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR LABOR TO DISASSEMBLE IT. MY CAR HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE AND SITTING AT THE DEALER FOR NOW 10 DAYS. LUCKILY I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED, AND DECIDED TO GO TO THE STORE BEFORE HEADING TO WORK. CARFAX REPORTS INDICATE THE TIMING CHAIN AND FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED AT 40,000 MILES ALREADY. I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM IN MUCH SCARIER SITUATIONS. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS.

MY ENGINE HAS BEEN BURNING OIL EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO. IT IS A 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX, WHICH I BOUGHT USED FROM A DEALERSHIP. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT WAS JUST ACCEPTED FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF COST ASSOCIATED WITH PREVIOUS REPAIR, DUE TO THE OIL BURNING. ALTHOUGH, I NEVER HAD TO PAY TO GET IT REPAIRED SINCE I WAS PUTTING IN OIL ABOUT EVERY WEEK TO TWO WEEKS SINCE I FOUND THE ISSUE. I'M VERY UPSET, BECAUSE THE ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR EVERYBODY WHO HAS THE ISSUE TO BE ABLE TO GET IT REPAIRED. SINCE THE OIL ISSUE IS KNOWN AND A CLASS LAWSUIT HAS BEEN FILED AND ACCEPTED, IT SHOULD GO FOR ALL VEHICLES, NOT JUST THE VEHICLES PEOPLE DIDN'T LOOK AFTER AND LET THEM BRAKE. THE OIL BURNING ISSUE IS VERY BAD AND IT WILL COST ME A LOT OF MONEY TO GET FIXED. THEREFORE, IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AND I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED FOR FREE AS IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE.

VEHICLE IS EXHIBITING STALL AND QUITTING ACTIONS AT STOP LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS. ALSO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION HAVING TO CHANGE OIL OR ADD OIL

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, MESSAGE THEN APPEARED THAT ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED AND SPEED IMMEDIATELY DROPPED TO AROUND 15 MPH AND THEN TO A ROUGH IDLE AT APPROX 5-10MPH. WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY VEHICLE TRAVELING BEHIND ME. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP REMAINING 2 MILES HOME AND CONTACTED DEALER. APPOINTMENT WAS MADE AND DEALER REPORTED CODE P2135 AND REPLACED THROTTLE BODY..DEALER SAID THROTTLE DIDN'T KNOW UP FROM DOWN. DEALER STATED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE EQUINOX. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER OWNERS REPORTING BEING PUT IN A DANGEROUS POSITION WITH THE SUDDEN DROP IN SPEED LIKE WE WERE. I CONTACTED CHEVY GM AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS. IF RAPID ACCELERATION HAS BEEN TREATED BY OTHER COMPANIES AS RECALL WORTHY, I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY CHEVY DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS RECALL WORTHY. I HAVE ATTACHED THE REPAIR REPORT WITH THIS COMPLAINT.

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

I BOUGHT THE CAR 2 YEARS AGO, IN WHICH THE VEHICLE HAD/HAS NONCONFORMED ISSUES SINCE THE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE SALE OF PURCHASE. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP (AND IS CURRENTLY THERE) FOR 2 YEARS. I HAVE BEEN PAYING FOR MY OWN TRANSPORTATION(LYFT, CAR RENTALS, ETC) IN ADDITION TO MY CAR PAYMENTS FOR OVER A YEAR.
