2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND HAS CHEVY SERVICE DEPARTMENT CERTIFIED BAD TIMING BELT. CAR HAS VERIFIABLE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE UPKEPT. THIS IS LIKELY A MANUFACTURE'S DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX EQUIPPED WITH MICHELIN LATITUDE TOUR TIRES, SIZE: T225/65R17 (NA). WHILE THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING 60 MPH, SHE HEARD AN ABNORMAL POPPING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE. AFTERWARDS, THE TIRE EXPLODED. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO VEER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND REPLACED THE TIRE WITH A SPARE. THE TIRE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THERE WERE NO DAMAGES TO THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 57,410. THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

2015 EQUINOX, 103K MILES, PCV SYSTEM FROZE AND MAIN SEAL BLOW OUT. OIL LEAKED OUT VERY QUICKLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, LOSS OF POWER AND A DANGEROUS SITUATION. BULLETIN 14882 DOES NOT COVER MY 2.4L ECOTEC ENGINE, AS IT ONLY COVERS 2010-14 MODEL YEARS. MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AS THE RECALL IN THE BULLETIN, YET I AM STUCK WITH A $6K BILL. MY VEHICLE ALSO HAS THE ISSUE WHERE IT BURNS OIL. THE LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON UNTIL DAMAGE HAD ALREADY OCCURRED. BULLETIN 14882 NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE FURTHER MODEL YEARS. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT HAS RESULTED IN A SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL LOSS. GM IS MORE THAN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF AWAY IN DECEMBER IN INDIANA ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 70 MPH AND IT STARTED TO SNOW/RAIN. I TURNED MY WIPERS ON AND THEY STOPPED WORKING WITH THE WIPERS STILL IN MY VIEW. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND MOVE THEM TO SEE AND THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE DUE TO THE WEATHER CONDITIONS. I HAD TO FIND A PARTS STORE THAT HAD THE WIPER BLADE TRANSMISSION LINKAGE AND SPENT $170 TO FIX IT. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE TRYING TO USE THE WIPERS IN THE WEATHER CONDITIONS BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO FIX IT RIGHT AWAY!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH IN HEAVY RAIN CONDITIONS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO OPERATE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MOVE ONTO THE ROAD SHOULDER AND PLACED RAIN-X ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME WHERE A FAMILY MEMBER REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER BUSHING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER BUSHING WAS REPLACED TWICE. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST STOPPED WORKING WHILE IT WAS RAINING HEAVY. ME AND MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR IN THE CITY OF RIVERDALE GOING DOWN HWY 85, IT WAS HORRIFIC. I HAD TO FOLLOW THE LIGHTS OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME TO FEEL MY WAY TO A SAFE PLACE TO STOP.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN THE RAIN, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST CUT OFF AND WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER IN A STORE, I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT, THEN CRANKED IT BACK UP. THEY STILL WEREN'T WORKING. WE CHECKED THE FUSE AND MADE SURE THE CONNECTIONS WERE TIGHT.

AS I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN MY WIPERS WENT BEYOND MY WINDSHIELD AND JUST STOPPED WORKING.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET WHEN WIPERS JUST STOPPED WORKING. IT WAS RAING PRETTY HARD WHEN THEY STOPPED. I TRIED THE FUZE BUT THAT DIDNT WORK.

IN THE MIDDLE OF A STORM WHILE HAVING MY WIPERS ON HIGH THEY JUST STOPPED WORKING. I PUT MY CAR IN PARK TO LOAD MY 2015 CHEVY EQUINOX I GOT BACK IN PUT MY CAR IN DRIVE AND THE WIPERS WEREN'T MOVING ANY MORE. I COULD HEAR THE MOTOR NOISE BUT THEY WEREN'T MOVING.*DT
