2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

DRIVING DOWN ROAD TO SET OF LIGHTS STOPPED AT RED GREEN LIGHT TO PROCEED DID NOT MOVE, CARS BEHIND ME ALMOST CRASHED INTO ME IN DRIVE MOVED SLOWLY TO CURB SIDE IT JUST WONT MOVE CITY ST ON HIGHWAY 55 MILES HR PRIOR HEARD A CLUNK TRANSMISSION CASE 8-4377215669

ENGINE LIGHT ON WITH 60000 MILES, TIMING CHAIN CODE, KNOWN ISSUE AND GM WANTED $4000.00 TO FIX. CHANGED ALL TIMING GEARS AND TENTIONERS IN DECEMBER OF 2017.

WHILE DRIVING DEFROSTERS & RADIO QUIT WORKING AND HAD TO STOP BECAUSE WINDSHIELD FOGGED UP AND CANNOT SEE. SHUT OFF CAR AND WAITED 10 MINUTES OR SO AND STARTED BACK UP AND WORKED FINE, ABOUT A COUPLE WEEKS AGO SAME THING AGAIN DEFROST STOPPED WORKING WITH RADIO AND HAD TO STOP AGAIN. KNOWN ISSUE BUT NOT ON RECALL LIST.

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, PULLED ONTO A STREET AND PUT THE CAR INTO PARK. ATTEMPTED AGAIN AND THE CAR SLOWLY DROVE. ANOTHER INCIDENT, MY SON WAS DRIVING AND HE SAID IT JUST "WOULDN'T DRIVE", LUCKILY HE WAS NEAR A RELATIVES HOUSE AND PULLED INTO THE DRIVE. HE ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE CAR AND PUT IT INTO REVERSE AND IT WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. THE CAR IS NOW AT A CHEVY DEALER. NOW THIS MAY NOT BE DEEMED A "SAFETY ISSUE", BUT WHAT IS THE ISSUE, THE CAR ONLY HAS 65,000 AND WE ARE BEING TOLD BY CHEVY THAT THE CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. AT WHAT POINT CAN A NON-SAFETY ISSUE BE DEEMED A RECALL. APPARENTLY THERE IS A BULLETIN REGARDING THE CHEVY EQUINOX 2010, MANY MANY COMPLAINTS, AND CHEVY WILL NOT REPAIR THEM. WHAT CAN BE DONE?

WHERE TO BEGIN...IN 2015 I PURCHASED THIS 2010 EQUINOX FROM A CHEVY DEALER AND 2 MONTHS LATER STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS W/ THE STABILITRAK. I HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS PAYING FOR THIS TO BE FIXED WITH NO SOLUTOINS TO THIS DAY!! IT OS NOW A DAILY OCCURRENCE AND COMES ON MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING EVERY TIME I AM BEHIND THE WHEEL NOW. IN ADDITION, NOW THE ENGINE IS COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING IT AND I MUST COAST TO THE SIDE IF THE ROAD!!!! WITH THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS YOUR COMPANY HAS RECEIVED REGARDING THIS PROBLEM OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, I AM GUESSING YOUR COMPANY IS WAITING FOR A LIFE TO BE TAKEN! I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME MULTIPLE TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY PASSING A CAR OR SEMI AND IT KICKS IN AND I HAVE TO PRAY THAT AS I SLOW DOWN WITH NO CONTROL I CAN MAKE IT TO THE RIGHT LANE AND THEN ON TO THE SHOULDER WITH OUT GETTING HIT OR WORSE!!! THERE ARE EVEN MORNINGS WHERE I GO OUT TO START MY CAR AND...EITHER IT DOESN'T START AT ALL W/ NO SOUND, IT STARTS WITH THE STABILITRAK ALREADY ON OR IT CLICKS ON AS SOON AS I PUT IT IN REVERSE. I AM KEEPING ALL MY RECEIPTS TOGETHER AND MY FAMILY KNOWS WHERE THEY ARE IN CASE ANYTHING SHOULD HAPPEN TO ME DUE TO THE LACK OF CHEVROLET ASSISTANCE FOR THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DEALING W/ THE SAME ISSUES!!!! YES I HAVE A WARRANTY BUT WAS TOLD THAT IS NOT COVERED AND I HAVE ALREADY HAD A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN, THROTTLE BODY REPLACED, WIRES REPLACED, ETC... AND STILL NO SOLUTION AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT HERE. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND A CHEVY TO ANYONE AND WILL SHARE MY EXPERIENCE WITH AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SEIZED. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UNTIL THE RAIN STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BALLAS BUICK GMC (5715 CENTRAL AVE, TOLEDO, OH 43615, (567) 202-1198) WHERE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE REPAIRED, BUT THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF THE DIAGNOSIS. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO FUNCTION AT THE HIGHEST SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

LOW OIL, MIXED WITH ANTIFREEZE. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. GOOD TO MY MECHANIC, ENDED REPLACING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, WATER PUM, SPARK PLUGS, BATTERY.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD GOING 55MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOOSE SPEED CONTROL TO ALMOST 20 MPH. I TRY TO PRESS THE GAS TO ACCELERATE AND IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE BEING PRESSED DOWN. HAVE TO PRESS GAS PEDAL ALMOST TO THE FLOOR TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. IMMEDIATELY TURNED ON EMERGENCY FLASHERS TO ALERT VEHICLES BEHIND ME. STABILITRK LIGHT AND TC LIGHT COMES ON. I HAVE READ PLENTY OF FORUMS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 CHEVERELET EQUINOX AND NOBODY SEEMS TO KNOW THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. HAVE HAD SEVERAL MECHANICS AND BREAK SPECIALIST LOOK AT THE PROBLEM AND THEY ARE CONFUSED TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. I HAVE A SMALL CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT. THANK GOD WE WEREN'T ON A 70 MPH HIGHWAY AND THAT HAPPENED. THERE COULD HAVE BEEN FATALITIES. I DONT HAVE ANY MECHANIC RECEIPTS BECAUSE THEY DONT KNOW WHAT TO START TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH. THEY SAID IT COULD BE NUMEROUS IDEAS( BRAKES, THROTTLE, ELECTRICAL, ETC). THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY!!
