2016 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT WHERE THE OTHER DRIVER RAN A STOP SIGN AND I RAN INTO THE SIDE OF HIS CAR HEAD ON, I WAS GOING BETWEEN 35-40MILES PER HOUR. I WAS DRIVING IN A NEIGHBORHOOD, MY AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED, THE CAR CENTER CONSOLE STATED THAT THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN LITTLETON COLORADO.

MY SON WAS IN AN ACCIDENT OCT 26, 2018 @ APPROXIMATELY 7:30 PM.. HE WAS TURNING LEFT ON HIGHWAY RT. 50 IN MT. STORM, WV WITH SIGNAL LIGHT ON TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. A TRUCK DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED FROM BEHIND ATTEMPTED TO PASS HIM ON THE LEFT EVEN THOUGH MY SON WAS ALREADY TURNING LEFT. THE TRUCK HIT DIRECTLY ON HIS FRONT LEFT TIRE BY A VEHICLE DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE FRAME WAS DAMAGED AND WE ARE UNSURE OF ADDITIONAL DAMAGES UNTIL THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER INSPECTS IT. THE SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY RESULTING IN MY SON HITTING THE SIDE WINDOW AND DIAGNOSED WITH CERVICAL SPRAIN. DRIVER WAS DRINKING AND ADMITTED TO DRIVING 65-70 MPH. POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND FIREFIGHTERS ARRIVED.

CAR IDLES ROUGHLY WHEN AT STOP SIGN, STOP LIGHT, WHILE IN REVERSE OR IN STOPPED TRAFFIC. CAR WILL CUT OFF WHILE IDLING ROUGHLY AT A STOP UNLESS IT IS PUT IN NEUTRAL. DIAGNOSTIC TEST REVEALED CODE P0010 CAM ACTUATOR SOLENOID/INTAKE.

AFTER IGNITION STARTED AND PLACED IN REVERSE THE CAR WOULD THEN SHUT OFF WHILE IN REVERES. IT WOULD ALSO SHUT OFF WHILE IN DRIVE. BUT ONLY WHILE FIRST TAKING OFF. EVERY TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ON REGULAR ROADS AND IN PARKING LOTS. FUEL TANK FULL

FOR THE PAST 12 MONTHS STARTING IN JULY 2017, I'VE HAD TO BRING IT BACK 5 TIMES (LAST WEEK WAS #5) TO THE DEALER DUE TO FLOODING INSIDE THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. TWICE I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE BODY JOINT SEAL (BULLETIN PI1090A), TWICE I WAS TOLD MY SUNROOF DRAINS WERE CLOGGED AND ONCE WAS BECAUSE THE MECHANIC DIDN'T ALIGN MY SUNROOF BACK CORRECTLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (WESELOH CHEVROLET, 5335 PASEO DEL NORTE, CARLSBAD, CA 92008) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, IN THE POURING DOWN RAIN. THEN MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING. THEY WERE MAKING A SOUND, BUT WOULD NOT MOVE. I COULD HAVE WRECKED AND GOTTEN HURT. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR ONE MONTH, WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT ONLY HAD 80,000 MILES ON IT. THERE IS APPARENTLY A RECALL ON THIS FOR SPECIFIC CHEVERLOT EQUINOXES MADE IN 2015, WHICH IF THIS VEHICLE IS A 2016, WOULD HAVE BEEN MADE IN THAT TIME FRAME. WILL YOU PLEASE HELP ME?

MY CAR SMELLS LIKE BURNING WIRES. MY AC TURNS FROM COLD TO HOT WITHOUT EVEN TOUCHING ANY BUTTONS. MY PHONE CHARGER IN THE MIDDLE COUNCIL DOESN'T WORK. I ONLY HAVE 53000 MILES ON THIS CAR.

WIPERS JUST STOPPED WORKING DURING RAIN STORM. INTERNET SHOWS 1000'S OF THE SAME ISSUE GOING BACK TO 2010 AT LEAST. WIPER MODULE IS WHAT THEY CALL IT.$325.00 PER CAR TO FIX. ?? BUSHINGS THAT HOLD ARM BREAK. WHY IF THIS MANY PEOPLE FOR THIS MANY YEARS HAVE THIS PROBLEM DOES CHEVROLET NOT CHANGE THE PART.OR BUY BETTER PARTS. THIS IS A SCAM TO MAKE MONEY IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. WE WERE TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPT. YOU SHOULD NEVER RUN YOUR WIPERS ON HIGH OR IT WILL BREAK AGAIN ?????WHAT THE ??? THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST CHEVY I WILL EVER BUY...I DO NOT LIKE BEING SCAMMED AND WILL NEVER BE BY GM AGAIN !!!!

WHILE TRAVELLING DOWN HIGHWAY I HEARD A CLICK AND THE HEADLIGHTS AND HEATER TURNED OFF BY THEMSELVES. WAS UNABLE TO TURN THEM ON. THANK GOD I WAS ON A STRAIGHT STRIP AND NOT A CURVE. CONTACTED ON STAR. FIGURED OUT THAT THE HIGH BEAMS COULD BE ACTIVATED BY HOLDING THE HIGH BEAM SWITCH TOWARD ME WHILE DRIVING. DROVE HOME DRIVING WITH ONE HAND AND HOLDING HIGH BEAM SWITCH WITH OTHER. WHEN I RETURNED HOME I TURNED THE CAR OFF. I WONDERED IF THE CAR WOULD START SO I TURNED IT OVER AND THE HEADLIGHTS AND HEATER CAME BACK ON.
