2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

MY 2015 CHEVY EQUINOX WAS SCHEDULED FOR ITS REGULAR OIL CHANGE ON TUESDAY, APRIL 27TH AT 8 AM. THE WEEK PRIOR I STARTED HEARING A "KNOCKING" NOISE AND TWO WEEKS PRIOR SMELLED AN ODOR THROUGHOUT THE CABIN. THREE DAYS BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT I DROVE CAR 5 MINUTES ONSITE AND WORK AND PARKED IT. I CAME OUT 40 MINUTES LATER AND IT WOULD NOT START (HOWEVER, IT DID TURN OVER). ATTEMPTED TO JUMPSTART VEHICLE TO NO AVAIL. CONTACTED TOW COMPANY ON MONDAY AFTER CHECKING AGAIN AND HAD IT TOWED TO LOCAL SHOP THAT WAS SCHEDULED TO DO SERVICE. RECEIVED A CALL AT 10:47 AM STATING THAT VEHICLE NEEDED NEW ENGINE, SOMETHING BROKE INSIDE. I AM AT A LOSS FOR WORDS. 120 K MILES AND ENGINE DOWN??!! NO WARNING SIGNAL, NO LOW ENGINE LIGHT, NOTHING!! GMC NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES AND INCLUDE ALL EQUINOX IN THE RECALL, FOR OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A NATIONWIDE PROBLEM.

CONSTANT BURNING OF OIL, UP TO 1 QUART IN LESS THAN 1,000 MILES. HAD OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE DUE TO ALL THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS ON OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES WITH THIS MOTOR, AND LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY REFUSES TO COVER ANY REPAIRS THAT COULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH OIL CONSUMPTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILED WAS INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND MANUALLY WIPED THE WINDSHIELD TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE BACK TO HER RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. NEITHER A DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

DRIVING FROM DETROIT MICHIGAN ON I-94 HIGHWAY BACK TO MY HOME IN JACKSON MICHIGAN, MY WIPER BLADES WERE ON THE INTERMITTENT SETTING DUE TO SPRINKLING AND LIGHT RAIN ON APRIL 15TH, 2021. THE WIPERS FAILED AND THE RIGHT SIDE WIPER WAS STUCK IN A VERTICAL POSITION IN THE FIELD OF VIEW OF THE DRIVER, THE LEFT WINDSHIELD WIPER WAS ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT AND PART OF THE TIP WAS HANGING OFF THE WINDSHIELD. THIS HAPPENED NEAR DEXTER, MI WHERE I EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND TOOK THE BACK WAY HOME WHICH CONSISTS OF DIRT ROADS AND PAVED STREETS FOR THE LAST 20 MILES OF MY JOURNEY HOME. THE WIPERS NO LONGER WORK, BUT I WAS ABLE TO PLACE THEM BACK IN THE CORRECT STARTING POSITION. IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, IT CLEAR THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH CHEVY EQUINOX'S OF MY YEAR. I DO HAVE AN APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED WITH MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED. THAT APPOINTMENT IS NOT UNTIL APRIL 23RD, OF 2021.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING ON MY 2015 EQUINOX THAT HAS LESS THAN 55,000 MILES. APPEARS TO BE THE WIPER MOTOR AND NOT JUST A FUSE. I GOT IN MY CAR TO LEAVE THE STORE ON A RAINY NIGHT, TURNED ON THE WIPERS AND HEARD A POP OR A CLICK AND THEY STOPPED WHERE THEY WERE AND I CAN NOW MOVE THEM FREELY WITH MY HAND BUT THEY WILL NOT GO WITH THE CONTROLS.

REAR MAIN SEAL BUSTED OPEN DUE TO FREEZING PCV. THIS YEAR OF VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE TBS RECALL. THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, MY EINGINE CODE, AND THE REPAIR/THE FIX, AND TYPE OF PROBLEM IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS DESCRIBED IN TBS 14882. MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL, BUT IT IS NOT.

THE WIPERS STOP WORKING DURING USE AND WIPER TRANSMISSION OR BUSHINGS HAVE TO BE REPLACED FREQUENTLY. IT HAD HAPPENED IN 05/2020 12/20 AND NOW 3/21. WIPERS STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING, EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
