2012 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

MY CAR WILL NOT START WHEN I FILL IT WITH GAS. I HAVE TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO MAKE IT START AND THEN REV THE ENGINE SEVERAL TIMES OR IT WILL DIE AGAIN. IT WAS ALSO DYING AT STOP LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS UNLESS I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND REVVED THE ENGINE. IT ALSO HAS STALLED WHEN INITIALLY TAKING OFF ONCE.

WHILE DRIVING HE VEHICLE IN A POURING RAIN THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AND I HAD TO SWERVE OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE I WAS TOTALLY BLINDED BY THE RAIN AND COULDN'T SEE. THE PROBLEM WAS THE WIPER LINKAGE TRANSMISSION AND IT COST OVER $300 TO REPLACE. THIS PART WAS RECALLED ON 2011 AND 2013 EQUINOXES AND NOT 2012. THE PIECE HAD CORRODED AND PART HAD FELL OFF. PLEASE REPORT THIS TO CHEVY AND RECALL FOR THE 2012'S PLEASE. VERY HARROWING EVENT WHEN THE WIPERS STOPPED.

MY APP SENSOR GOING OUT AND WHEN I DRIVE I HEAR A NOSE AND MY CAR FEEL LIKE SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY TIRES. THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VALVE ON ENGINE IS LOOSE CAUSING ENGINE TO RATTLE AND MAKE LOUD NOISES WHEN STARTING AND DRIVING. ENGINE IS SHAKING CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE ENGINE TOO MUCH MONEY JUST GOT THE CAR STILL OWE $14,000 ON THE CAR NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANY LONGER ACCORDING TO WARRANTY COMPANY.

FIRST ONE WEEK AGO, THE CAR WAS SLOW TO TURN ON WHEN TURNING THE IGNITION AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LITE UP WITH THE MESSAGE CHECK POWER STEERING. TONIGHT 8/11/17 THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER, BUT IT STILL HAS A WORKING HORN, LIGHTS. AND RADIO. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FOLLOWED BY SERVICE POWER STEERING, SERVICE STABILTRACK MESSAGE, ELECTRIC WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL UP, SPEEDOMETER AND RPM GAUGES MOVE ALL THE WAY OVER AND BACK, AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE ELECTRIC PANEL ARE ON. ENGINE WILL NOT TURN ON.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR 2 YEARS AND IN TWO YEARS I HAVE HAD TO GET THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED ALSO THE TENSIONER BELT THE O2 SENSORS AND A FEW OTHER THINGS REPLACED. MY CHEVY EQUINOX IS A LEMON AND A FEW OTHER PEOPLE I KNOW HAS SAID THE SAME THING I WISH I NEVER PURCHASED THIS CAR AND I'M STUCK WITH THE $14,000 LEMON THAT I CAN'T GET RID OF.

I HAVE A 2012 CHEVY EQUINOX THAT I HAVE OWNED SINCE AUG. 2015. THE CAR USES EXCESSIVE OIL, TWO OR MORE QUARTS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES ON MY FOUR CYLINDER ENGINE. A WEB SEARCH FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. CHEVY CAME UP WITH THE IDEA THAT THIS WAS A NORMAL CONDITION, BUT ANY BACK YARD MECHANIC KNOWS DIFFERENT. AFTER ALL THE COMPLAINTS CHEVY FINALLY ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON EXCESSIVE OIL USE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHO SAID I NEEDED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WHICH OF COURSE IS NOT REIMBURSED. I PURCHASE INSURANCE TOTAL LOST VEHICLES AND REPAIR THEM. I HAVE BEEN DRIVER THIS CAR FOR 2 YEAR. CAR HAS 60000 MILES. CHEVY STILL HAS CAR LISTED AS SALVAGE WITH WARRANTY VOID IN THEIR COMPUTER. NO DEALERSHIP WILL TOUCH IT. I AM ON MY 4TH CALL TO CHEVY AND THEY DO NOT RESPOND. CAR WILL GO LOW ON OIL TO THE POINT THE ENGINE BANGS WITH NO LOW OIL INDICATION. TSB ISSUE WILL NOT DO REPAIR.

CHEVY EQUINOX 2012, BUT THE TRUCK A MONTH AGO, NOTICE A RATTLE NOISE ON THE ENGINE, AFTER A MONTH +1000 MILES DRIVING, NEED TO ADD 2Q OF OIL, TODAY 7/17 HAS NO OIL. TAKE IT TO SIERRA CHEVROLET ON MONROVIA, THE PERSON ON SERVICE DEPARTMENT, MENTION THAT I NEED TO PAY $150 FOR DIAGNOSTIC THE PROBLEM, + NEED TO PAY 3 OIL CHANGE TO SEE IF THIS TRUCK HAS THE ISSUE MENTION ON BULLETIN: 13-06-01-003F. WHY I NEED TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NOT MY FAULT. DEFECT OF MANUFACTURING. MOTION.

PURCHASED VEHICLE USED IN 2013 WITH 28K MILES. STARTED NOTICING AN ENGINE KNOCK IN 2016, IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES, @ APPRX. 85K MILES. BEGAN HAVING TO ADD 3-4 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES, GIVE OR TAKE. CALLED DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE - WHILE WARRANTY WAS STILL IN EFFECT - AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE, AND ADDING OIL WAS ALL THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE. WHILE DEALING WITH THAT, HAD TO REPLACE THE SENSOR, AS VEHICLE STALLED WHILE IN A LEFT TURN LANE, WHICH ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE REAR ENDED. DECEMBER 2016 - OIL CONTINUED TO BE BURNED AT AN ALARMING RATE, SO MY HUSBAND CONTACTED A FRIEND WHO WORKS FOR A CHEVY DEALER. WE WERE TOLD NOT ONLY IS THE MASSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION NOT NORMAL, BUT THAT GM IS FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT REFUSING TO ISSUE A RECALL OR PAY TO HAVE THE PISTONS REPLACED! 2017 - HAVE CONTINUED TO ADD 2-4 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES OR SO; THEN MAY 2017, RECEIVED NOTICE FROM GM ACKNOWLEDGING THE PISTON RING WEAR/EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, BUT THAT IT'S ONLY REPAIRABLE WITHIN 7 YEARS 6 MONTHS OF ORIGINAL IN-SERVICE DATE, OR 120,000 MILES, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST! SERIOUSLY?! I AM PAST BOTH & AM PISSED OFF! GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS, AND NEEDS TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY, NOT IMPOSE A YEAR/MILEAGE CAP! I WONDER IF A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT WOULD WAKE THEM UP? I'M NOT OPPOSED TO LOOKING INTO IT! DON'T GET ME WRONG - PREVIOUS TO MY EQUINOX, I OWNED AN HHR FOR 11 YEARS, AND PRIOR TO THAT, A SUBURBAN FOR 5 YEARS. I LIKE MY CHEVY'S BUT THIS ISSUE HAS LEFT A BAD TASTE FOR THEM, AND AM TOTALLY UNIMPRESSED WITH THEIR LACK OF CONCERN REGARDING THIS ISSUE. FOR THOSE OF US THAT ARE PAST THE VERY CONVENIENT YEARS/MILES, THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE OUT OF POCKET REPAIR. I CAN'T EVEN TRADE IT IN, AS I STILL OWE ON THE [XXX] LOAN!! STEP UP GM, & DO THE RIGHT THING! BY THE WAY - HUBBY IS REPLACING THE TIMING CHAIN TODAY :O[ INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *JS *TR
