2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

I WAS DRIVING FROM BALTIMORE TO LEESBURG VA FOR MY COLLEGE CLASSES. WHILE DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE 495 NEAR WASHINGTON DC IS WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. IT CONTINUED TO STALL SEVERAL TIMES AND ANYTIME THE VEHICLE WAS GOING UNDER 20 MPH. THIS CONTINUED UNTIL I REACHED MY DESTINATION 1-1/2 HOURS LATER. ALTHOUGH NOT IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC THIS CONTINUED ON MY 2 HOUR RETURN TRIP LATER THAT EVENING. IN THESE TWO INCIDENTS THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE NEXT DAY, EVERY TIME I STOPPED THE CAR IT WOULD SURGE AS IF I WAS PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE CAME ON FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE ENGINE RATTLING AND WHINING CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE ALSO SEEMS LIKE IT HAS TROUBLE SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR AND WHEN IT DID, THE CAR SHIFTED VERY HARD AND ABRUPT NOT KNOWING WHAT THE ISSUE WAS I WENT TO A MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THE VARIABLE TIMING SOLENOIDS WERE FAILING. HE ALSO TOLD ME THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE ENGINE. COME TO FIND OUT THESE SOLENOIDS CALLED "VVT" NEED OIL PRESSURE TO OPERATE NOT ONE TIME DID MY OIL LIGHT COME ON TO INDICATE AN LOW OIL LEVEL. THE CAR ONLY SHOWS OIL LIFE PERCENTAGE, WHICH TELLS ME WHEN TO CHANGE THE OIL. UPON DOING SOME RESEARCH THERE IS A KNOWN OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM WITH THE 2.4L ECOTECH ENGINE AND GENERAL MOTORS IS AWARE AND HAS HAD A CLASS ACTION CASE AGAINST THEM.I HAVE A 2015 EQUINOX AND HAVE HAD JUMP THROUGH HOOPS TO GET GM TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS.THEY ARE TELLING ME IT IS MY PROBLEM, BECAUSE I DON'T MAINTAIN MY OIL CHANGE INTERVALS, WHICH IS NOT TRUE. I DO AS THE WARNING LIGHTS TELL ME. I DO FEEL THIS POSES A SERIOUS THREAT TO MY SAFETY AND OTHERS WHO HAVE THIS VEHICLE OR THE 2.4L ECOTECH ENGINE. I THINK THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE FOR DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS OR EVEN WHERE THERE ARE LOTS PEDESTRIANS.

WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AFTER HEARING A LOUD NOISE.I CAN STILL HEAR THE WIPER MOTOR WORKING BUT WIPERS DON'T WORK. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION DURING RAIN ON HIGHWAY WHEB THIS HAPPENED

CAR IS BURNING OIL AT ABNORMALLY FAST RATE. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH QUART OF OIL IN MY CAR AT ALL TIMES SINCE FINDING OUT ABOUT EXISTING PROBLEM WITH EARLIER MODEL YEAR VEHICLES AND NOTICING THE PATTERN IN MY VEHICLE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER NOTIFICATION CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. THE STABILITY TRACK NOTIFICATION CAME ON AS WELL. I AM NOW BEING TOLD BY LOCAL MECHANIC THAT I MAY NEED A NEW ENGINE. I WAS INFORMED BY LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT TIMING SHAFT AND ACTUATOR MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED JUST TO GET THE CAR TO START. THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM IS THE SAME AS THE EXISTING PROBLEM IN CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR 2010-2013 MODELS. CHEVROLET HAS BUILT AN ENGINE THAT DOESN'T WORK AND THEY NEED TO PAY FOR THIS. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES THERE NEED TO BE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE.

DRIVING AT NIGHT ON A HIGHWAY AND IT WAS RAINING AND MY WIPERS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING..

WIPERS STOPPED WORKING DURING HEAVY RAIN ON THE HIGHWAY. I UNDERSTAND THE WIPER TRANSMISSION IS A PROBLEM WITH THE EQUINOX.

MY 2015 CHEVY EQUINOX BEGAN STALLING AND IDLING LOW TO THE POINT THAT SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING WOULD CAUSE A STALLING ISSUE; GOING IN REVERSE WOULD CAUSE A STALLING ISSUE; PUTTING IT IN PARK WOULD CAUSE A STALLING ISSUE. SOMETIMES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON, BUT MOST TIMES IT DID NOT. THE VEHICLE MAINTAINS A REGULAR OIL CHANGE AND MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE YET THIS PROBLEM, WHICH WAS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST, BEGAN HAPPENING EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN. COULD NOT BE DRIVEN DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. VERY SCARY IN TRAFFIC!

I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM GM ON MY 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX ON 2/6/20 STATING THAT THERE MAY BE A CONDITION WHERE A LINK BALL SOCKET IN THE WIPER TRANSMISSION MAY SEPARATE. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR, THE DRIVER WOULD EXPERIENCE A SUDDEN LOSS OF WIPER FUNCTION! AFTER TALKING WITH GM AND THE DEALER, WAS TOLD THIS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A RECALL. I STRONGLY DISAGREE!

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT NIGHT ABOUT 70 MPH IN A VERY HEAVY RAIN MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION I HAD TO LEAVE MY CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TILL THE NEXT DAY AND THANK GOD IT WASN'T RAINING.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE NOT WORKING. WE HAVE REPLACED THE BUSHINGS TWICE AND THEY CONTINUE TO STOP WORKING. THEY WILL WORK TEMPORARILY AND THEN FAIL AGAIN. THIS ORIGINALLY HAPPENED IN JULY OF 2019 AND AGAIN IN DECEMBER OF 2019

DRIVING IN RAIN AT NIGHT WHEN WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED. CHECKED FUSES, NO SUCCESS. HAD TO REPLACE WIPER MOTOR.
