2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

THE CAR STOPPED WHILE DRIVING AND TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC SHOP WHO DIAGNOSED THE REASON DUE TO A BROKE CHAIN AND THIS CAR HAS FREQUENT OIL CHANGES EVERY 3000 MILES AND THERE WAS NO INDICATION OR EVEN WARNING SIGNS PRIOR NOW THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT APPEARS TO HAVE THESE SAME ISSUES SEVERAL YEARS BACK AND THERE WERE RECALL AND I BELIEVE THAT MY CAR IS ALSO PART OF THIS SAME PROBLEM AND I NEED TO KNOW IF MY VEHICLE CAN GET FIXED UNDER THE RECALL POLICY.

FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING OR ANY OTHER SIGNS OF FAILURE, STOPPED WORKING. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND WIPERS WERE IN USE AS BACKING OUT OF PERSONAL DRIVEWAY. NO INDUCTOR LIGHTS ARE PRESENT.

WE HIT A DEER GOING 70 MPH LAST NIGHT ON INTERSTATE 10 HEADED WESTBOUND , UPON IMPACT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF. WE SMELLED SOMETHING THAT SMELLED LIKE IT WAS BURNING, IT WAS THE IGNITER TO THE AIRBAGS. NOW THE CAR IS GIVING US A SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN. OUR AIRBAGS ALL FAILED TO DEPLOY.

THE WIPERS IN THIS SUV HAVE STOPPED WORKING 4-5 TIMES NOW. MY HUSBAND REPLACED THE BALL JOINTS 3-4 TIMES AND THEN REPLACED THE WIPER TRANSMISSION LINKAGE. 2 OF THE TIMES IT WAS REPLACED THEY JUST STOPPED WORKING WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE RAINING HEAVILY. OTHER TIMES I NOTICED IT IN THE DRIVEWAY BEFORE LEAVING WHEN I TURNED WIPERS ON AND THEY DID NOT MOVE. TODAY THEY AGAIN ARE NOT WORKING, I NOTICED IT IN THE DRIVEWAY AFTER CLEARING ICE AND SNOW FROM WINDSHIELD BEFORE STARTING THE CAR. THE PROBLEM BEGAN AROUND 30-40K MILES. I'M CURRENTLY AT 97-98K

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TO WORK AT 6:15AM CST ON WEDNESDAY DEC. 16TH. IT WAS STILL DARK AND RAINING ABOUT 38 DEGREES ON A HWY AT 55MPH, WHEN FOR NO REASON AND NO WARNING THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS WENT FROM A SLOW TO MEDIUM SPEED TO NOT WORKING AT ALL. THEY CAME UP AT ABOUT 90 DEGREES STRAIGHT UP. THEN A LITE 'POP' SOUND AND THEY WENT ALL THE WAY OFF THE WINDSHIELD HANGING OFF THE DRIVER'S SIDE. SHE HAD TO PULL OFF THE HWY AND LIMPED DOWN THE SIDE TO A SAFE PARKING AREA, THEN HAVE HER BOSS PICK HER UP. SO I RESEARCHED IT ONLINE. THE INTERNET WAS FULL OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING. BUT THE STRANGE PART, THEY (CHEVY) DID A 'RECALL' ON THE 2013. WHY NOT 2014 & 2015? NEEDLESS TO SAY MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP HAD PLENTY OF THEM IN STOCK FOR $144.00 FOR THE WHOLE WIPER TRANSMISSION PART. I BOUGHT ONE AND CHANGE IT IN THE 40 DEGREE RAIN. IT HAS WORKED LIKE NEW SINCE.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT RAN SCAN SAID FLEX FUEL SENSOR BAD REPLACED NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON. SCAN SAYS LOW VOLTAGE IN FLEX FUEL COMPOSITION SENSOR. WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THE PROBLEM WITH THIS EQUINOX. SEEMS LIKE EVERYTIME YOU FIX ONE THING SOMETHING ELSE GO WRONG. THE RADION HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. THE HEATER RESISTOR WENT BAD REPLACED IT NOW THE BLOWER MOTOR IS BAD. THIS CAR IS A LLEMON FROM THE FRONT BUMPER TO THE REAR BUMPER.. PIECE OF JUNK. EVERYTHING HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER ONE THING OR THE OTHER IS REPAIRED....

1 DEC 20; 0715HRS; VEHICLE STATIONARY; SLIGHT FROST ON WINDSHIELD; ACTIVATED WINDSHIELD WIPERS WITH WASH FLUID; WIPERS OPERATED CORRECTLY. BEGAN VEHICLE MOTION FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN ACTIVATED WINDSHIELD WIPERS WITH WASH FLUID AGAIN FOR A FEW SECONDS- DRIVER-SIDE WIPER BEGAN TO MOVE ERRATICALLY AND THEN FLOPPED OVER TO DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD PILLAR; PASSENGER-SIDE WIPER CONTINUED TO OPERATE CORRECTLY. FLUID WAS 'BLOWN OFF' BY WIND BUT HAD TO STOP VEHICLE AND PLACE WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM BACK IN REST POSITION BY COWL. DRIVER-SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM NO LONGER OPERATES. UNSAFE VEHICLE OPERATION WILL OCCUR IF INCLEMENT WEATHER CONDITIONS ARISE.

CAR WAS RUNNING AND DRIVING IN THE RAIN GOING ABOUT 30 MPH ON RESIDENTIAL ROAD AND THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. THE MOTOR SOUNDS LIKE IT IS RUNNING BUT WIPERS DON'T MOVE. I CAN MOVE THE WIPERS FREELY WITH MY HAND. I BELIEVE THE WIPER TRANSMISSION ARMS HAVE BECOME DISCONNECTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECAME INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGE ASSEMBLY HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. *BF CONSUMER STATED MANUFACTURE BELIEVES PART WAS DEFECTIVE.*JB

IT STARTED RAINING HERE IN CHICAGO SO I TURNED MY WIPERS ON. NOTHING HAPPENED... I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE EXPRESS WAY BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE. I COULD HEAR THE WIPERS BUT THEY WEREN'T MOVING. I HAD TO WAIT 2 HOURS FOR IT TO STOP RAINING. I COULDN'T SEE BECAUSE OF THIS. THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR MY HUSBAND'S 2014 EQUINOX SO HE DRIVES MY CAR BUT NOW, NEITHER BLADES WORK PROPERLY. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE $400
