2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

GAS IN MY OIL CAUSED BY A FAULTY FUEL PUMP. THIS IS CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO RUN POORLY AND CONTINUE TO RUN AFTER THE KEY IS REMOVED. THIS EFFECTS THE VEHICLE WHEN RUNNING PARKED OR RUNNING IN ALL GEAR POSITIONS.

THE HEAT AND AIR WILL NOT WORK FOR LONG AND SHORT PERIODS OF TIME. THERE IS A TICKING SOUND, BUT THE HEAT OR AIR WON'T WORK. PERIODICALLY THE SCREEN OF THE RADIO WILL GO OFF AND REMAIN THAT WAY UNTIL THE HEAT OR AIR DECIDES TO WORK AGAIN. IT'S HARD TO DRIVE IN THE RAIN, AND I WILL HAVE TO ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN TO CLEAR THE FOG FROM THE WINDSHIELD. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR.

THE AC IS GIVING ME ISSUES AND I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUES WITH THE AC BREAKING BROKE AFTER CERTAIN MILEAGES!

VEHICLE HESITATES TO ACCELERATE WHILE TRYING TO TAKE OFF AFTER BEING STOPPED. I HAVE TO CHANGE THE OIL EVERY THREE WEEKS AND BY A WEEK AND HALF THE OIL IS 1/4 LESS AND REALLY DARK. THERE'S NO VISIBLE LEAKS OR OIL STAINS ON THE DRIVE WAY.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WILL ACCELERATE REALLY HIGH THEN IT WILL SHIFT AND GO BACK DOWN BUT IT'S DOING IT ALMOST ALL THE TIME KNOW. IT SHOWED NO ERROR CODES WHEN TAKEN IN AND TRANSMISSION FLUID IS GOOD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND FAILED TO IMMEDIATELY RESTART. AFTER SOME TIME, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION; HOWEVER, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ORANGE BUICK GMC (3883 W COLONIAL DR, ORLANDO, FL 32808, (407) 295-8100) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAMSHAFT ACTUATOR SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,274.

TAKATA RECALL: MY CARS ENGINE IS RUNNING EXTREMELY ROUGH, IT'S IDLING VERY "BUMPY" AND SEEMS TO SPUTTER, STALLING OUT (WHILE DRIVING OR STOPPED) AND CONTINUING TO RUN A FEW SECONDS AFTER I TURN IT OFF AND THE CHECK ENGINE KEEPS COMING ON AND GOING OFF. WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH IT, THE TECH EXPLAINED THAT MY HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP IS WHAT IS CAUSING ALL THE ISSUES. I WAS TALKING TO A FRIEND ABOUT IT AND SHE SENT ME A LINK SHOWING ME THAT A RECALL WAS DONE ON MY MAKE AND MODEL SO I CALLED MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY SHOW NOTHING FOR MY VIN. UPON CALLING THE ACTUAL CHEVY NUMBER LISTED ON THE SITE WHERE WE SAW THE RECALL THEY EXPLAINED THAT EVEN THOUGH MY CAR IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES FOR THE PART BEING RECALLED, MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED AND THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING! AFTER FINDING THIS WEBSITE I STARTED READING COMPLAINTS AND THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO ANOTHER PERSON WITH THE SAME VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THESE CARS ARE MADE IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AND THE PARTS IN THOSE LOCATIONS MAY BE MADE DIFFERENTLY THEN THE PARTS IN OTHERS BUT IF WE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, I WOULD THINK THAT ANOTHER INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE OPENED AND ANOTHER RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED INCLUDING ALL VIN'S FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL. IF THIS HAS TO BE PAID OUT OF POCKET A LITTLE HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED TOO. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX.

I ONLY HAVE 99,500 MILES ON MY 2010 EQUINOX RUNNING GOOD AND I KEEP UP ON THE MAINTENANCE AND FOR NO REASON THE TIMING CHAIN STRETCHED AND JUMPED WHEN I WENT TO START IT ONE DAY

I FILED A COMPLAINT 4 DAYS AGO #11182292. I'VE CONTACTED GM AND THEY HAVE NO RECALL ON MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE. THERE WAS A RECALL #090298 DONE FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM I'M EXPERIENCING. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR GM SEEMS WILLING TO INCLUDE MY CAR IN THIS RECALL. I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN LIVING ON A FIXED INCOME. I'M TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS TODAY. I'M ASKING FOR HELP PAYING FOR THIS IF IT IS DIAGNOSED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE VEHICLES THAT WERE RECALLED. ALL THE ITEMS LISTED ON THAT PARTICULAR RECALL # ARE IDENTICAL TYPE IDENTICAL TO WHAT I'M EXPERIENCING. YOUR ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED IN THIS MATTER.

SERVICE STABILITRAK, REDUCED ENGINE POWER, SLAPPING NOISE IN STEERING AS WELL AS MAJOR VIBRATION
