2017 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

2017 EQUINOX CAME WITH MICHELIN LATITUDE TOUR X TIRES. AFTER LESS THAN 2 YEARS (30,000 MILES), TIRE SIDEWALLS ARE SEVERELY CRACKED. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A TIRE DEGRADE AS BADLY AS THESE HAVE. THE FACTORY IN POLAND MUST BE USING SUBSTANDARD MATERIALS TO MAKE THESE TIRES. DOT B53T 031X 4516. ACCORDING TO MICHELIN, I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR AT LEAST 80% OF THE REPLACEMENT COST. I ALWAYS THOUGHT MICHELIN WAS A HIGH QUALITY COMPANY BUT AFTER SEEING HOW THESE TIRES ARE FALLING APART, I NO LONGER THINK THAT.

WE NOTICED A BAD FUEL SMELL IN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE AND HAD OIL LEAKING FROM IT TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE REAR MAIN SEAL WAS BLOWN. THEY DID THE REPAIR AND A WEEK LATER HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN AGAIN. IT'S BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR THE SAME ISSUE.

KEEP GETTING REDUCE ENGINE POWER CODE 2138 WHICH IS THROTTLE PEDAL SENSOR THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE BAD EVEN WHEN THE CAR HAS68000 MILES ON IT.

THE BRAKES PAD BECAME HARD AND FAILED TO STOP THE CAR ALMOST HIT 5 CARS COMING DOWN A STREET THAT WAS A HILL IN LEWISTON NY RPUST 104 EAST

VEHICLE HIT A POT HOLE AT 35 MPH, DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT. SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT AND WARNING CAN ON AND PASSENGER FRONT SEAT BELT LOCKED AS IF VEHICLE WAS IN MAJOR COLLISION. DEALERSHIP FIRST STATED IT WOULD ALL BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, NOW STATING BLACK BOX SHOWS VEHICLE WAS IN COLLISION AND AIR BAGS 'PARTIALLY DEPLOYED'. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO VEHICLE. IF BLACK BOX IS DETERMINING AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED, WHY DID BAGS NOT DEPLOY?

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON FREEWAY. I TRIED SLOWING THE CAR BY PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO STOP THE SLOW THE CAR HENCE CAME THE SITUATION WHERE I HAD TO HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL HARDER TO ABLE TO STOP THE CAR TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT. I WAS NOT ABLE TO BREAK AT ALL AND IT ENDED UP COLLIDING WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. IT WAS SURPRISING TO ME THAT NOT A SINGLE AIRBAG WAS POPPED OPEN, GIVEN THE MAGNITUDE OF AN ACCIDENT AND THE DAMAGE IT CAUSED (ESTIMATED DAMAGE OVER $10,000). I HAD MY SON AND TWO OF HIS FRIENDS IN THE CAR. IT IS VERY SHOCKING THAT THE AIRBAGS OR BREAK DID NOT WORK IN BRAND NEW SUV.

I RENTED A 2017 CHEVY EQUINOX. I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND WENT INSIDE FOR IT TO HEAT UP. SOME HOW THE KEY FOB AND KEY TRANSMITTER GOT LEFT BEHIND. I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES. I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION, TURN OFF CAR. WHEN I RETURNED THE CAR SAID NO FOB ON DASH AND I COULD NOT START IT. I DONT THINK I NEED TO EXPLAIN ALL THE REASONS THAT THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. LET ALONE I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A CAR THAT DID NOT WARN YOU THAT THE FOB WAS NOT THERE.

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE ANOTHER CAR HIT ME IN THE PASSENGER SIDE UP FRONT IN A HARD CRASH.THE ENTIRE FRONT END AND RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED FRAME RAILS WERE BENT AND AC COMPONENTS WAS IN THE MOTOR.AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY INSURANCE TOTALED THE VEHICLE 17,200 OF DAMAGES

BACK GLASS SHATTERED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT HAD BEEN PARKED IN A PRIVATE DRIVEWAY APPROXIMATELY 19 HOURS WHEN THE BACK GLASS SHATTERED. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE, I COULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT OR CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

MICE GET IN DASH AREA AND USE THE INSULATION TO BUILD NEST ON TOP OF THE CABIN AIR FILTER. IF THE MOUSE CHEWS THROUGH THE PAPER FILTER AND RUNS UP MY PANTS LEG, THERE WILL BE A SAFETY PROBLEM.
