Got a Smart Start Ignition Interlock installed and my vehicle caught on fire while parked.

December 17th, 2022 - Check engine light came on with an onstar message to have my engine/transmission system serviced within 7 days. Dealership replaced fuel pump module on December 23rd. Drove the car to a basketball game that evening (14 miles) and check engine light came back on with same onstar message. Took car to dealership on January 3rd (due to holiday, didn't drive vehicle after check engine light came on). Dealership advised it was a low battery. So battery was replaced and advised we should come get the car. When they were driving the car from the back of the lot to the front of the lot - the check engine light came on again. They called us to tell us not to come get the car that they found a new code issue. They advised they would call us tomorrow.

The Infotainment/Radio display goes blank or only shows random lines. This problem continues to happen several times per week. When this occurs, the Back up camera does not work which I believe violates FMVSS 208. The vehicle has been taken to the Dealership twice and the issue has not been fixed. The first visit they replaced the Radio/Radio Display and that did nothing to help the problem. The second trip to the Dealership in October 2022 resulted in them stating the problem could be a USB cable and placed it on order and we are still waiting for the part, which was supposedly on back order.

The contact owns a 2022Chevrolet Equinox D2. The contact stated that there was distribution in the front center of the windshield. The viewing makes it seem as though the lines painted on the roads were curving inward. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer who diagnoised the windshield layers were not laid correctly and the windshield needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however the windshield had the same failure. The dealer informed them that the windshields were designed in a way that the distortion could not be avoided. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 1,500.

On Friday, 11/04/2022 at about 1230 while traveling South on I-35 in Waco, Texas the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox RS Texas Registration RPW-5038 driven by [XXX] experienced a dangerous incident. She indicated that she heard a loud noise followed by immediate deflation of the driver side front tire. [XXX] was in the left of travel and immediately pulled over to the left shoulder of the roadway. [XXX] then contacted AAA for Assistance. Waco Towing responded to the scene. The vehicle was towed to a safe location for assistance. The subsequent damage was the tire rim was cracked across the middle of it around the whole wheel. The damage looked like a clean break except one part where the rim was bent inwards. There was a dent in the rim’s edge from what appears to be impact damage with the roadway surface possibly caused from the rim breaking apart. There was no other visible damage to the edge of the rim of the tire. The exterior part of the Tire Rim and the tire do not appear to be damaged. The Rim was a 19x7.5 Rim/Wheel. A Replacement rim was ordered from Stonebriar Chevrolet in Frisco, Texas. [XXX] indicated that had she been traveling in any other Lane this could have been a serious incident. In my opinion it appears that there may be a defect with that particular Rim/Wheel which caused the damage and near Serious Motor Vehicle Crash. I am a Retired Bergen County Police Officer in New Jersey. During my career I’ve investigated numerous Motor Vehicle Crashes but None experiencing this type of equipment failure. My name is [XXX] It is my opinion and hope that this incident be investigated further. Hopefully to prevent this from happening again with a negative outcome.

I feel asleep while driving on a residential side street. The vehicle drifted over to the right side of the road and i hit the back end of a u-haul truck. i didn't hear any warning and i don't believe the automatic braking system worked to prevent a collision with such severe damage. I was told the repairs are $16,000.00 roughly. My car has been in the Chevy body shop since the accident in May. They suddenly decided to total the car but don’t have additional charges.

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the throttle body had detached. The dealer reattached the throttle body; however, the failure recurred with the vehicle inadvertently decelerating and then stalling while driving. Additionally, the Lane Change Alert with Blind Side Zone Alert feature malfunctioned. The vehicle was then taken to Rosenthal Chevrolet (6500 Little River Turnpike, Alexandria, VA 22312) where an engineer diagnosed that the vehicle performed as designed and he was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and sent an engineer to Rosenthal Chevrolet to diagnose the vehicle. The failure mileage was 4,772.

Transmission malfunctioned without warning at approx. 4,700 miles. Upon starting the vehicle multiple warnings went off and vehicle could not be shifted into any position; when attempting to put vehicle back in to Park, would not recognize that it was in Park so the vehicle could not be safely shut off and when turning off the ignition a warning alarm would sound and the display would remain on. Vehicle could not be locked due to being stuck “on”. Blind spot warning constantly detects a vehicle even when there is none rendering the feature useless and possibly confusing other drivers behind me into thinking it is a side mirror turn indicator and not BLIS.
