2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

BUSHING FAILED IN FRONT WIPER MECHANISM. WIPER STOPPED MID-CYCLE WHEN SWITCHED DOWN FROM HIGHEST SETTING. IN HEAVY RAIN. MECHANIC COULD NOT GET REPLACEMENT BUSHING TO FIT - ENTIRE MECHANISM MUST BE REPLACED (MOTOR CAN BE SALVAGED). MECHANIC'S ATTEMPT TO GET BUSHING TO FIT SEEMED TO FINALLY WORK, BUT FAILED ON FIRST TEST IN SAME WAY AS BEFORE. BIG HASSLE FOR SMALL PART. *TR

WENT ON 1,000 MILE TRIP AND CAR DIED. WAS ABLE TO JUMP IT EVERY TIME AND IT STARTED. RETURN TRIP OF ANOTHER 1,000 MILES. CAR WAS CHUGGING WHILE PARKED. LATER ENGINE WAS MAKING A RATTLING SOUND. PUT IT IN REVERSE TO PARK AND ENGINE DIED. MADE A TERRIBLE NOISE WHEN TRYING TO START IT. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE TIMING CHAIN CAUSED ENGINE TO FAIL AND ALSO OIL WAS COMPLETELY DRY. I GET MY VEHICLE SERVICED REGULARLY BY RANDY REED CHEVROLET IN ST. JOSEPH, MO (FREE OF CHARGE SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE 2 YEARS AGO) WAS NEVER ONCE TOLD OF AN OIL BURNING ISSUE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I FIND IT SHOCKING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD NOT HAVE A FAILING ENGINE! NOW I'M STUCK MAKING PAYMENTS ON A CAR I CAN NOT EVEN USE WITH REPAIRS THAT COST AS MUCH AS ANOTHER CAR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AND CHILD AND SUDDENLY IT STARTED TO RAIN. IT WAS A DOWN POUR SO I TURNED ON THE WIPERS AND THEN AFTER A FEW SECS THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND STOP DRIVING UNTIL THE RAIN CLEARED. LUCKILY I DIDN'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BUT NOT TO SAY SOMEONE ELSE HASN'T DUE TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

VEHICLE BATTERY DIES, CAR DIES. NO THEM OR REASON TO IT. IT WILL NOT START. BATTERY IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. TRY TO START THE VEHICLE AND NOTHING, NO INTERIOR LIGHTS RADIO, NOTHING. OTHER TIMES IT WILL LET THE INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON AND JUST CLICKS. THIS IS AFTER THE CAR HAS SAT FOR 2-3 DAYS AND NOT DRIVING OR GOING ANYWHERE DUE TO THE CORONA VIRUS. WENT OUT THE NEXT DAY, STARTED FINE. WE EVEN TRIED JUMPING THE CAR OFF FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE AND IT WOULDN'T EVEN CLICKED IT WAS TRYING TO START. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR. RESULTING IN REPLACING THE BATTERY. NOW IT'S STILL HAPPENING AND THE BATTERY IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE IF A STORM, THE WIPERS STOPPED IN THE UP POSITION. THIS WAS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS, EVEN TO JUST PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. CHECKED THE FUSES AND NOTHING HAD BLOWN. CAN'T GET THEM WORKING AT ALL. HAVE SCHEDULED A VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP, PROVIDED IT'S NOT RAINING. *TR

DURING HEAVY, HEAVY RAIN ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AT 65MPH, THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER. I ALMOST GOT HIT TRYING TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I HAD NO VISIBILITY.*DT*JB

SAME PROBLEM AS THE 2013 EQUINOX. BUSHING HAS CORRODED AND BROKEN ON THE WIPER TRANSMISSION LINKAGE ASSEMBLY. NEITHER WIPER BLADES OPERATE. SAME PROBLEM AS THE 2013 CHEVROLET EQUINOX VISIBILITY RECALL 16V582000. *TR

FIRST THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND NONE OF THE BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL WORK. NOW THE HORN IS CONTINUOUSLY BLOWING WHILE DRIVING, AND WON'T STOP UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. *TR

WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING DURING A STORM. TERRIFYING. ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR TRYING TO PULL OFF. COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING. HAD TO GET HOME; HAD TO DRIVE VERY SLOW WITH EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON AFTER THE INITIAL NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE. WE COULD HAVE DIED THAT DAY. DOES ACTUAL DEATH INITIATE A RECALL? IF SO, HOW MANY BEFORE IT'S IMPORTANT. I'VE SEEN ALL THE PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS. PLEASE HELP. *TR

WHILE IN MY GARAGE I GO GET INTO MY 2015 CHEVY EQUINOX LTZ. I START IT UP AND THEN ON THE DIC A MESSAGE SHOWED SAYING SERVICE AIR BAG. *TR
