2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

TAKATA RECALL I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR WRECK ON A CITY STREET. MY CAR WAS TOTALED AND NOT EVEN ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. IT WAS A FRONT END COLLISION. I WAS TRAVELING EAST ABOUT 20-25 MILES PER HOUR AND S VEHICLE RAN A STOP SIGN GOING EXCESSIVELY FAST. I HIT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF HER VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE SPUN AROUND 90 DEGREES AND ENDED UP IN A DITCH HITTING A STOP SIGN ON DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. FRONT OF MY EQUINOX WAS TOTALED.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING IN A RAIN STORM IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A SUNDAY NIGHT WITH A THREE (3) HOUR DRIVE AHEAD OF ME. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED, I HAVE SEEN THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM IN THE PASS WITH THE EQUINOX AND IT STILL THE SAME PROBLEM WITH WINDSHIELD WIPERS TODAY. I'M A EXPERIENCED DRIVER AND AT 72 YEARS OF AGE MY THOUGH WAS OF A INEXPERIENCED DRIVER AND WHAT THEIR REACTION WOULD BE IN THE SAME SCENARIO. I EXPLAINED THIS TO A GM REP. AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER, THAT I WILL DO AT MY EXPENSE. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED, IF THIS HAD HAPPENED IN 1956 IT WOULD BE REPAIRED AND NOT A ISSUE NEXT YEAR

WITHIN THE PAST YEAR I HAVE LOST ALL SOUND IN MY 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX THREE TIMES. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN JUNE 2017, THE SECOND TIME WAS OCTOBER 2018. THE FIRST TWO TIMES I WAS ABLE TO GET AN UPDATE THROUGH OUR LOCAL DEALER. HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD THAT IF HAPPENED AGAIN, I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE RADIO (AND RELATED COMPONENTS). THIS NOT ONLY AFFECTS THE RADIO, BUT ALL SOUND, BLINKERS, LANE DEPARTURE AND CRASH ALERT. PROOF OF SERVICE CAN BE PROVIDED IF REQUIRED.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY DURING A HEAVY RAIN STORM I HAD MY WIPERS RUNNING AT THE MEDIUM INTERVAL AND THEY COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. I HAD TO PULL OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE, BETWEEN LARGE ORANGE BARRELS, AND WAIT FOR THE RAIN TO SUBSIDE. I ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE THE FUSES AND THIS WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. I JUST GOT THE DIAGNOSTIC BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IT WILL COST $355.00. MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 55,000 MILES ON IT. I'M HOPING THAT IT WILL BE COVERED BY WARRANTY, ESPECIALLY SINCE A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED AND I SEE OVER 20 OTHER REPORTS OF THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENING. IT WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND TURNED A 4 HOUR DRIVE INTO A 7.5 HOUR DRIVE BECAUSE I HAD TO STOP REPEATEDLY WHEN THE RAIN PICKED UP.

I PUMPED GAS THIS AM, WAS SITTING AT A LIGHT CAR CUT OFF AND TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. NOW STILL ON WANT GO OFF.

WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN ON THE EVENING OF THE 26TH OF OCTOBER 2018. FUSES HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND THOUGH GOOD REPLACED. THERE IS A HUM WHEN YOU TURN THE WIPERS ON. THIS ONLY APPLIES TO THE FRONT WIPERS, THE REAR WORKS FINE. DANGEROUS AS IT WAS ALMOST DARK AND I HAD TO DRIVE HOME SLOWLY AND OUT THE CAR IN THE GARAGE. SEEMS THIS IS A RECURRENT PROBLEM WITH THE EQUINOX AS I FOUND OUT IN RESEARCH. WHEN IS SOMETHING GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS? BEFORE OR AFTER A FATALITY?

WITH OUT WARNING MY WIFES CAR WENT INTO ENGINE POWER FAILURE MODE. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO MORE THEN 10 MPH. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FOUR QUARTS LOW OF ITS MOTOR OIL. THEY THEN ASKED ME FOR ALL THE SERVICE RECORDS I HAD TO ESTABLISH A HISTORY. THEY HAD THE OIL CHANGES THAT I DID FROM THE DEALER, ONE FROM A WELL KNOW AUTO MERCHANDISER AND BECAUSE I DID THE MOST RECENT ONE MYSELF, THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT THAT ONE BECAUSE THERE IS NO DOCUMENTATION OF ME DOING IT AND HENCE THE VEHICLES POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WILL NOT BE HONORED. THE CAR IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD AND HAS 75000 MILES ON IT. NO INDICATION OF ANY ISSUES WERE PRESENT AT ANYTIME WITH THIS VEHICLE.

THE WIPER BLADES STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN A THUNDERSTORM. I WAS UNABLE TO SEE THROUGH MY FRONT WINDSHIELD. I WAS ABLE TO PULL ON THE SIDE AND WAIT UNTIL MY VISIBILITY WAS CLEAR TO PROCEED ON MY ROUTE.

FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING WHILE DRIVING IN HARD RAIN ON A FREEWAY. WAS TOLD THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CHEVY EQUINOX AND RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE IN CANADA FOR SAME ISSUE. HAVE TO REPLACE BUSHINGS.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE HOME I TURNED ON WIPER BLADES TO CLEAN LIGHT RAIN FROM FRONT WINDSHIELD AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER BLADE FAILED TO WORK. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A COUNTY/STATE ROAD IT WAS DARK OUT. ALSO UPON ARRIVING HOME WHILE STATIONARY IN MY GARAGE I AGAIN TRIED WIPERS, PASSENGER SIDE WIPER AGAIN, FAILED TO WORK.
