2012 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS GO OFF, THE RADIO GOES OFF AND READS 'LOST COMMUNICATION WITH TELEMATICS CONTROL MODULE'. DURING THIS TIME, THE CAR IS STILL RUNNING IN MOTION, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS COME BACK ON, BUT THE GAUGES ARE AT 0. THE RADIO TURNS OFF COMPLETELY, THE HEATING/AIR SHUTS OFF, THE SIGNAL LIGHTS DON'T WORK, AND MY HEADLIGHTS START TO FLICKER GOING ON AND OFF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. AFTER MINUTES, EVERYTHING COMES BACK ON, BUT LIKELY GOES OUT AGAIN. I'VE STARTED TO EXPERIENCE THIS IN EVERY TRIP TO AND FROM. ALSO, I RECENTLY HAD AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY FOUND METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL. THIS COULD EVENTUALLY CLOG MY MOTOR IF NOT HANDLED PROPERLY, AND FIRST HAVE TO FIND OUT WHAT METAL PIECES ARE RUBBING. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, MY TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM DOES NOT PROPERLY READ THE ACTUAL TIRE PRESSURE. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF A HEAVY DOWNPOUR AND THE CAR IS USING A LOT OF OIL

HAVING TO ADD OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAD IT CHECKED. PER CODE LOW OIL AND CAN ONLY BE RESET AFTER AN OIL CHANGE. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND GOT THE OIL CHANGED AND A FEW DAYS LATER THE DEALER CALLED STATING I NEED TO GET NEW PISTON RINGS BECAUSE OF A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE OR I WILL LOSE OIL. THE DEALER STATED THE GM WILL GO 50/50 WITH ME ON THE FIX SINCE THE RECALL EXPIRED. I DID NOT GET A RECALL NOTICE OR HAVE THE 50% OF THE COST TO FIX THE VEHICLE, I AM THE 2ND OWNER.

RECEIVED A SETTLEMENT PAPER FOR EXCESSIVE OIL USAGE. A REIMBURSEMENT CLAIM WAS MADE TO PEOPLE WHO HAD THIS REPAIR MADE TO CAR. WE COULDN'T AFFORD TO PAY UP FRONT FIRST. SPOKE TO SETTLEMENT ADMINISTRATOR AND HE SAID GM SHOULD DO A RECALL.

CONSUMMING ENGINE OIL CUNSUMS OIL WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON A DAILY BASIS OIL IS NOT LEAKING OUT THE BOTTOM BUT OIL IS FOUND AROUND THE THROTEL BODY

MY CAR IN CONSUMING OIL IT'S BEEN CONSUMING OIL FOR A WHILE CAR CONSUMES OIL WHEN BEING DRIVEN ON A DAILY BASIS

BURNING OIL FAST. JUST CHANGED OIL AND HAVE DRIVEN IT LESS THAN 3,000 MILES AND IS A QUART LOW. NOT THE FIRST TIME IT'S DONE THIS. CHECKED OIL SATURDAY WENT OUT OF TOWN ABOUT 3 HOURS ONE WAY GOT BACK HOME AND THE OIL WAS A QUART LOW. NO OIL SPOTS BENEATH THE CAR NOTICED AT THIS TIME.

RECALL NEEDS TO BE INITIATED AS PER CHEVY SPECIAL COVERAGE BULLETIN 14882 IN WHICH THE CRANKSHAFT REAR OIL SEAL AND PCV MANIFOLD AND ASSOCIATED PARTS ARE FAULTY RENDERING THE VEHICLE TO STALL, LEAK EXCESSIVE OIL AND DANGEROUS TO OPERATE

I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN ISSUE WITH FUMES COMING INTO THE CAB OF MY VEHICLE THROUGH THE FRONT VENTS WHEN SET TO DEFROSTER OR CIRCULATING AIR FROM OUTSIDE TO INSIDE THROUGH THE VENTS. THE FUMES SMELL OF GAS OR EXHAUST AND ARE VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN SITTING STILL WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING. THIS IS NOTICEABLE MAINLY WHEN SITTING STILL IN VEHICLE WITH ENGINE RUNNING. THE SMELL IS OVERWHELMING. I HAVE DEVELOPED BREATHING PROBLEMS SINCE PURCHASING MY VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN NEWLY DIAGNOSED WITH ASTHMA AND AM HAVING TO TAKE BREATHING TREATMENTS. I HAD THE FIRST ASTHMA ATTACK IN DECEMBER 2019. I AM ALSO HAVING PROBLEM WITH AIRBAG LIGHT STAYING ON. WHEEL INFORMATION IS ALSO INCORRECT. INFORMATION SYSTEM MAY INDICATE THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL PRESSURE IS LOW, WHEN IN FACT THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE PRESSURE IS LOW.

LEAVING HOME THIS MORNING FOR WORK AND WINDSHIELD WIPER WOULD NOT COME ON! YOU CAN HEAR THE MOTOR RUNNING. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH IN A YEAR..
