2012 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

; 2010-2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX; SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT THIS SPECIAL COVERAGE COVERS THE CONDITION DESCRIBED ABOVE FOR A PERIOD OF 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES (193,000 KM), WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST, FROM THE DATE THE VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY PLACED IN SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF OWNERSHIP. DEALERS ARE TO PERFORM A CRANKCASE PRESSURE CHECK, AND IF REQUIRED, REMOVE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND CLEAR THE PCV ORIFICE. THE REPAIRS WILL BE MADE AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER. FOR VEHICLES COVERED BY VEHICLE SERVICE CONTRACTS, ALL ELIGIBLE CLAIMS WITH REPAIR ORDERS ON OR AFTER MARCH 4, 2015, ARE COVERED BY THIS SPECIAL COVERAGE AND MUST BE SUBMITTED USING THE LABOR OPERATION CODES PROVIDED WITH THIS BULLETIN. CLAIMS WITH REPAIR ORDERS PRIOR TO MARCH 4, 2015, MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE SERVICE CONTRACT PROVIDER. THIS IS FROM SERVICE BULLETIN 14882. AS A RESULT OF THE FROZEN PCV, MY WIFE WAS NEARLY KILLED. THE VEHICLE STOPPED INSTANTANEOUSLY ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE CENTER LANE AFTER PREVIOUSLY BEING AT 74MPH. SEMI TRACTOR TRAILERS NEARLY RAN HER OVER. HIGHWAY PATROL CAME TO THE RESCUE SINCE HER VEHICLE COULD NOT BE COMPLETELY REMOVED FROM TRAFFIC. IT CAME TO REST PARTWAY ON THE SHOULDER AND PARTWAY ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP, THEY AGREED THAT IT MATCHED IDENTICALLY TO THIS SERVICE BULLETIN. THEN, WHEN THEY CHECKED THE VIN, GM SAID THAT OUR VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THIS SEEMS TOTALLY WRONG. IF NEEDED YOU CAN OBTAIN THE HIGHWAY PATROL REPORT FROM THE MISSOURI HIGHWAY PATROL. THIS HAPPENED ON SUNDAY JANUARY 8, 2017. MY WIFE IS [XXX] FOR REFERENCE. IT OCCURRED AROUND 3PM CENTRAL STANDARD TIME WITHOUT NOTICE. THE REAR OIL SEAL BLEW OUT AND THE MOTOR CEASED INSTANTANEOUSLY WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 2 YEARS AGO. IT HAS UNDER 50K MILES AND SEEMED TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION. CURRENTLY IT IS AT 65K MILES AND HAS EXPERIENCED THESE ISSUES: -STALLING AT INTERSECTIONS OR STOP SIGNS A TOTAL OF 6 TIMES. TAKEN IN MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. - WHEEL GRINDING AND BUCKING WHEN STOPING OF TURNING RIGHT. ALSO TAKEN IN MULTIPLE TIMES TO DEALER - ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE IDENTICAL TO THE PRIOR YEAR MODEL RECALL. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT HOUSES THE HEATING SYSTEM AND THE RADIO HAS STOPPED WORKING. NONE OF THE BUTTONS ARE LIGHTING UP AT ALL. YOU CAN NOT TURN ON THE HEAT OR DEFROST CAUSING S VISIBILITY HAZARD. THE RADIO IT'S SELF DOES WORK BUT YOU HAVE TO OPERATE IT FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE 2011 MODELS HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AND WERE RECALLED. I FEEL THIS MODEL SHOULD BE INCLUDED SINCE THE ISSUE IS THE SAME. NO ALTERATIONS OR HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE CONSOLE. EVERYTHING IS STILL AS IT WAS WHEN PURCHASED FROM THE DEALER

TIRE PRESSURE( EVERY WEEK NEED AIR PRESSURE),POWER STEERING( LIGHT ON SAY CHECK) , COD#P0010 (ING LIGHT ON) ING OFF ALONE...

THE TRANSMISSION JERKS, WHILE VEHICLE ROLLS BACK WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A DEAD STOP OR FROM A SLOWER SPEED. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR A PROBLEM THAT CAN HAVE A FATAL CONSEQUENCE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE DEFROSTER BLOWER SUDDENLY STOPPED OPERATING AND CAUSED THE FRONT WINDSHIELD TO FOG UP. THE ISSUE HINDERED THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BLOWER MODULE AND MOTOR WERE FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

WITH 1350 MILES ON THIS OIL CHANGE I JUST ADDED 2.5 QUARTS OF OIL TO BRING IT UP TO FULL LEVEL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK UNCONTROLLABLY AND THE ENGINE INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A MECHANIC AND REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

I HAVE TRIED CONTACTING GM MULTIPLE TIMES TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE CONTACTED YOU ALL PREVIOUSLY TO NO AVAIL. THIS IS MY LAST HOPE. I'M GOING TO KEEP COMPLAINING UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE. MY VEHICLE HAS AN EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. IT STARTED AROUND 60K MILES AND HAS JUST ROLLED OVER THE 80K MILE MARK THIS WEEK. IN THE BEGINNING, MY VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING THIS KNOCKING SOUND SO I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. IT WAS COMPLETELY DRY OF OIL. IT WAS NO YET DUE AN OIL CHANGE AND I HAD HAD THE VEHICLE FOR JUST OVER A YEAR PRIOR TO THIS. I AM NOW PUTTING A QUART OF OIL IN MY VEHICLE PER WEEK. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT GM ARE CALLED YEARS 2010 AND 2011 AND "SOME" 2012'S UNFORTUNATELY MINE WAS NOT ONE OF THE "SOME." - THIS IS A GM MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. HOW IS IT EVEN REMOTELY POSSIBLE TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR SOME AND NOT ALL. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IF I PAY $2000 TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED, SOMEDAY IF THERE IS A RECALL, I'LL BE REIMBURSED. AS THE MOTHER OF A CHILD WITH MULTIPLE MEDICAL BILLS, SHELLING OUT $2000 FOR THEIR CRAPPY MANUFACTING IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ME AND IT'S TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. MY NEXT STEP IS BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. PLEASE GIVE ME SOME INSIGHT. I'M AT THE END OF MY ROPE. I HAVE TO KEEP OIL IN MY VEHICLE AT ALL TIMES, AND I'M TERRIFIED THAT MY ENGINE WILL BLOW WHILE I'M OUT WITH MY SON IN IT.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION HAS HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS. 2012 EQUINOX 130K MILES CAR SHUTS OFF AT STOP SIGNS OR PULLING OUT. I'M NOW REPLACING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND CAMSHAFT ACTUATOR. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS TAKEN SERIOULY. NOTHING BUT ISSUES SINCE I PURCHASED 3 YEARS AGO!

THE MY LINK RADIO GOES OUT AT AROUND 40,000 TO 50,000 MILES. WITH THE LOSS OF THE RADIO YOU LOSE BACKUP CAMERA AND ALL THE INFO ON THE VEHICLE INCLUDING WARNINGS SUCH AS TURN INDICATOR NOISES, HAZARD NOISES, AND ALL THE OTHER SMART FEATURES OF THE VEHICLE.
