2012 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

ENGINE LIGHT CAME DUE TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION REPLACE INTAKE & EXHAUST CAMSHAFT ACTUATOR SOLENOID VALVES

ON TUESDAY FEBRUARY 4, 2020 1:09PM MY 2012 EQUINOX VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE 10 MINUTES AFTER REACHING MY DESTINATION IN A PRIVATE DRIVEWAY. THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF, AND LOCKED WITH THE KEY BEFORE ENTERING THE RESIDENCE. SMOKE WAS SEEN COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY WITH FLAMES. MY CONCERNS: 1) I HAD MY PASTOR WITH ME AND THIS COULD HAVE OCCURRED WHILE TRAVELING; 2) MY NEXT DESTINATION WAS PARKING IN MY GARAGE AND I WOULD HAVE HAD A HOUSE FIRE. GOD WAS WATCHING OVER US.

2012 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRAILER LIGHTING MALFUNCTION. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE MODULITE WAS INCORRECTLY INSTALLED.*JS

AT APPROXIMATELY, 92000 MILES ON MY EQUINOX, WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY THE PCV VALVE CLOGGED/FROZE AND EXERTED TO MUCH PRESSURE TO MY ENGINE CAUSING THE REAR MAIN SEAL TO BLOW AND SPILL ALL OF THE ENGINE'S OIL ALL OVER THE GROUND. THIS CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SEIZE UP AND STALL. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AVOID ANY ACCIDENT. THIS EXACT ISSUE IS DETAILED UNDER GM'S SERVICE BULLETIN 14882 WHICH LISTS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. HOWEVER, MY VIN# IS NOT COVERED FOR SOME REASON. THIS RECALL HAS TO BE EXTENDED TO OTHER VIN #'S. I CURRENTLY HAVE MY CAR SITTING AT A CHEVY REPAIR SHOP AWAITING SERVICE TOTALING OVER $1800 TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY THE RECALL. GM HAS NOT HANDLED THIS RECALL PROPERLY.

THE PCV VALVE BUILD UP CONDENSATION WHILE RUNNING, WHICH SUBSEQUENTLY FROZE. UPON STARTING THE VESICLE AGAIN, IT BUILT PRESSURE TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT IT THEN BLEW OUT MY REAR MAIN SEAL. IT IS EXACTLY THE SCENARIO DESCRIBED IN GM'S SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT #14882 OR DOCUMENT ID 4098165. SOMEHOW MY VIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS KNOWN DEFECT! THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THE WARNING I HAD WAS A POWER STEERING LIGHT FLASH, THEN LATER A OIL PRESSURE LIGHT FLASH (ALL WENT OUT). THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON SURFACE STREETS. THIS BECAME WORSE WHEN BREAKING.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ABOUT A YEAR AGO FROM ORIGINAL OWNER. IT HAS BURNED OIL SINCE I OWNED IT. I HAVE 83,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE SEIZED ON ME. THE COST TO REPAIR IS $6700. I HAVE HAD OIL CHANGES EVERY 2,000 MILES SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLES. I WILL NEVER BUY CHEVY AGAIN.

DONE A OIL CHANGE AND ABOUT 3 WEEKS LATER NO OIL. HAD TO CHANGE THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR AND NOW THROWING THE CODE 420. RUNS SLUGGISH AND EXHAUST IS NOW BLOWING THROUGH THE VENTS.

ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO I WENT TO START MY EQUINOX WITH THE KEY AND WHEN I PUT IT IN THE IGNITION MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AT ALL. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON A CITY STREET. THEN THE BEGINNING OF DECEMBER I HAD GONE OVER A LITTLE BUMP AND MY DASH STARTED SHOWING UP WITH WARNING LIGHTS SAYING 'SERVICE STABILIZ' AND 'ALL-WHEEL DRIVE OFF'.

BURNING OIL. I GOT AN OIL CHANGE AND WITHIN LESS THAN A MONTH I HAD NO OIL IN MY CAR. NOT USE AND DRIVEN A LOT EITHER.

ON DEC. 14,2019 WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY PARKWAY IN NEW JERSEY IN THE POURING RAIN, MY WIPERS STOPPED OPERATING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDOW. THIS CAUSED A LOSS OF VISIBILITY, MADE ME VIOLENTLY SWERVE OFF OF THE ROAD AND INJURE MY RIGHT KNEE. I AM SUFFERING A KNEE CONTUSION AND POSSIBLE LIGAMENT DAMAGE DUE TO THE SUDDEN IMPACT. I REPORTED THIS COMPLAINT ON DEC. 16, 2019 AND AFTER REVIEWING IT ONLINE, IT IS EVIDENT THAT THE REPRESENTATIVE LISTED THAT THERE WASN'T AN INJURY REPORTED; WHICH IS FALSE INFORMATION. I MADE IT VERY CLEAR THAT I INJURED MY KNEE FROM THE DIRECT MALFUNCTION OF THE WIPERS. I HAVE SINCE VISITED THE ER AND MY PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN.
