2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH IN A RAIN STORM, THE DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER SUDDENLY BROKE OFF AND DISLODGED FROM THE VEHICLE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER SEIZED TO OPERATE. SMOKE WAS ALSO SEEN COMING FROM THE WIPER AREA. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIPER MOTOR TRANSMISSION KIT AND WIPER MOTOR HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE LOCAL DEALER EL DORADO CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 2300 N CENTRAL EXPY, MCKINNEY, TX 75070 WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

WHEN I CRANK MY CAR TO LET IT RUN BEFORE DRIVING OFF, THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY LOCK WHEN I ATTEMPT TO GET BACK IN THE CAR. MY CAR IS THEN LEFT RUNNING WITH THE DOORS LOCKED AND I HAVE TO CALL FOR ASSISTANCE.

WIPERS STOPPED ABRUPTLY DURING A HEAVY DOWN POUR ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT DUE TO NO VISIBILITY.

AFTER MULTIPLE OIL LEAK REPAIRS VEHICLE STILL LEAKS OIL WHILE STATIONARY. WHEN THE HEAT IS ON THE SMELL OF OIL COMES INTO THE VEHICLE. I HAVE CHECKED FOR ANY RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE BUT NOT HAVE ARRIVED.

WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENT, AFTER REVIEWING ON LINE APPEARS TO BE MANUFACTURES DEFECT THAT IS NOT BEING RECALLED.

THE WIPERS ON OUR CHEVY STOPPED WORKING. COME TO FIND OUT THAT THE BALL JOINT RUSTED OUT. THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2013 MODELS AND CHEVY DID NOT CARRY THIS RECALL TO THE 2015 TO 2016 MODELS THAT ARE ALSO AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE. OUR UNIT IS A 2016 AND WE JUST HAD THIS ISSUE WHERE THE WIPER BLADES STOP WORKING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A HEAVY RAIN STORM. WE ALMOST GOT IN TO A VERY BAD CAR CRASH DUE TO ZERO VISIBILITY AS WE WAS DRIVING IN A RAIN STORM. THE OTHER ISSUES WE KEEP HAVING WITH THIS CAR AND THE CHEVY DEALER SAYS IT'S NOT A ISSUE. IS WHEN THE CAR STARTS THE ENGINE VIBRATES AND SPUTTERS A LOT. AN THE ENGINE DELAYS WHEN YOU NEED TO EXCEL GOING ON THE HIGH WAY.

2015 EQUINOX HAD A WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILURE DURING HEAVY RAIN MAKING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. AFTER INVESTIGATING FOUND THAT THE BUSHING ON THE WIPER MOTOR WAS FILLED WITH DIRT AND CAUSED IT TO SEPARATE LEAVING THE WIPERS INOPERABLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (APPROX. 55MPH) IN POURING RAIN, WIPERS WERE ON HIGH-SPEED AND STOPPED IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION ABRUPTLY. THANKFULLY WAS ONLY ONE EXIT AWAY FROM MY HOME BUT HAD TO DRIVE WITHOUT WIPERS. VERY DANGEROUS!
