2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

THE CAR SHUTS OFF BY ITS SELF CAN'T PICK UP SPEED I CAN BE AT A LIGHT AND THE CAR WILL JURK AND TRY TO PULL OF AND CAN GO NO MRS. THAN 15MH.

THE RADIO WILL NOT TURN ON WHEN I START THE VEHICLE. IT IS NOT UNTIL 10 MINUTES LATER THAT THE RADIO WILL FINALLY TURN ON AND WORK PROPERLY. THIS ALSO EFFECTS THE TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARD LIGHTS. I FEEL THAT WITH THE FACT THE TURN SIGNALS DO NOT WORK THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS STARTED IN MY DRIVEWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE HEATER BLEW COLD AIR WHEN ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 49,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE DEFROSTER BLEW COOL AIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V489000 (VISIBILITY). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 EQUINOX, WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THIS SINCE IT DISABLES THE AIRBAG SYSTEM? SINCE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN WHY HAS THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT?

I HAVE TO REPLACE ONE OF THE TIRE HUBS ON MY CAR BECAUSE THE STABILIZABILITY TRACK IS MESSED UP. COSTING ME OVER $650. THE LIGHTS CAME ON ONE DAY TO GET IT SERVICED. THAT IS THE ONLY REASON I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG.

FROM INCEPTION THIS VEHICLE HAS BURNED THROUGH OIL AND HAS CONSISTENT ISSUES WITH RUNNING SMOOTH. THE POOR FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM HAS CAUSED ABNORMAL WEAR ON ENGINE AND PARTS THEREFORE IT HAS CAUSED ME TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR BREAKDOWN OF PARTS IN A PREMATURE STAGE. NOW MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS BAD, ALL FUEL INJECTORS, COILS AND EVERYTHING AROUND THAT SYSTEM!!! I AM LOOKING AT OVER 3K IN REPAIRS AGAIN!!!

THE TRANSMISSION FAILED IN OUR 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX WITH ROUGHLY 78K MILE ON IT. WE ORIGINALLY BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW IN FALL OF 2009. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT NEAR A SCHOOL WHEN THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD. SHE CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND THEN TRIED TO ACCELERATE, BUT THE CAR DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE AS THE ENGINE JUST REVVED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER STATED IT WOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH WOULD COST $4,150. CALLED GM WHO STATED THE MOST THE MOST COST ASSISTANCE THEY COULD PROVIDE WAS $1546 WHICH IS BASED OFF A CALCULATOR THEY USE SINCE THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. THE SENIOR ADVISOR FOR GM THAT I SPOKE WITH STATED THE TRANSMISSION SHOULDN'T HAVE FAILED, BUT THAT THEY COULDN'T REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FOR FREE SINCE THERE WAS NO OPEN RECALL YET FOR THE TRANSMISSION. I RESEARCHED GOOGLE AND FOUND MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM VEHICLE OWNERS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL REGARDING THEIR TRANSMISSION FAILING ALSO. I THEN DISCOVERED THAT THE 2008 AND 2009 MODELS HAD THE EXACT SAME TRANSMISSION AS OUR 2010 MODEL. I READ THAT GM HAD ISSUED A RECALL AND EXTENDED A WARRANTY IN MARCH 2015 FOR THE 2008 AND 2009 MODELS DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. NO RECALL OR EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS BEEN ISSUED YET FOR THE 2010 MODEL. VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT GM HASN'T ISSUED A RECALL YET FOR 2010 MODEL WHEN KNOWING THAT THE SAME TRANSMISSION IN THE 2010 MODEL IS HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS AS THE 2008 AND 2009 MODELS.

EXITED FREEWAY ON FLYOVER, ACCELERATING FROM 20-25MPH ON THE DOWNGRADE TO OTHER FREEWAY NOTICED THAT WHILE SPEED HAD INCREASED TO 45-50MPH, RPM'S WERE HIGH. IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER, SHIFTED TO P, IDLED NORMAL. MERGED BACK IN, AGAIN GOT HIGH RPMS, TURNED ON HAZARD FLASHERS, TOOK OFF-RAMP. SHIFTED TO MANUAL, GEAR INDICATOR SHOWED '2' AND WOULD NOT MANUALLY UPSHIFT TO '3'. PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF CAR, WAITED 30 SECS, RESTARTED. CAUTIOUSLY GOT BACK ON FRONTAGE ROAD, DROVE FOR 1 MILE IN 'D' AT 30MPH, SEEMED OK, GOT BACK ON HIGHWAY, GENTLY ACCELERATING UP TO 65MPH. DROVE THE NEXT 6 MILES ON HIGHWAY, EXITED FOR NEIGHBORHOOD. DROVE DOWN PRIMARY BOULEVARD AT 35MPH FOR 2 MILES. TURNED AT 5MPH TO START ACCELERATING UP STEEP HILL INTO NEIGHBORHOOD, IMMEDIATELY FELT SLIPPAGE AND HIGH-REVS. PULLED OVER, WAITED FOR CLEAR TRAFFIC, SWITCHED TO MANUAL SHIFT, ACCELERATED UP HILL IN 1ST, NO PROBLEM; SHIFTED TO 2ND AT 20MPH, NO PROBLEM; SHIFTED TO 3RD AT 30MPH, IMMEDIATELY HIGH REVS AND SLIPPAGE; SWITCHED BACK TO 2ND; ACCEL'D TO 35MPH IN 2ND THEN SHIFTED TO 4TH,ENGINE LUGGED DOWN BUT HELD AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND HOLD SPEED NO PROBLEM. SHIFTED BACK TO 3RD, STARTED SLIPPING AND HIGH REVS AGAIN. SWITCHED BACK TO 2ND AND DROVE LAST MILE TO HOUSE AT 25MPH. DROVE UPHILL PAST HOUSE, TURNED AROUND IN NEIGHBORS DRIVEWAY, NOTICED A LOUD 'WHINING' NOISE, LIKE A TIGHT FAN BELT OR IDLER THAT IS ABOUT TO SEIZE. PARKED, WHINING NOISE CONTINUED. REVVED ENGINE A COUPLE OF TIMES, NOISE WENT UP/DOWN WITH RPM. TURNED OFF, WENT INSIDE TO RESEARCH. FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON OLDER VEHICLES W/ 6T70/6T75 TRANSMISSION. THE 35R WAVE PLATE IS KNOWN TO SHATTER. GM HAS ISSUED "#14404: SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT - TRANSMISSION CLUTCH WAVE PLATE - (MAR 3, 2015)" . ONLY COVERS OLDER 2007-09 VEHICLES, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, SHOULD COVER ALL VEHICLES W/THESE TRANSMISSIONS EXHIBITING THIS BEHAVIOR.
