2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

WHILE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH, DURING A TERRIBLE RAIN STORM, THE WIPERS JUST STOPPED. THANKFULLY, WE WERE SLOWING BECAUSE OF THE TORRENT OF RAIN AND WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF SAFELY AND CHECKED THE FUSES BUT THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM WE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A RECALL IN CANADA FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WHY NOT THE US?

A/C VENTS HAVE BEEN SPEWING SHINY WHITE FLAKES THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 2 1/2 YEARS WHICH THE DEALER DID NOT INVESTIGATE TO FIND THE THEIR SOURCE NOR DID THEY REPAIR THE VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY SAYING THE FLAKES WERE DUST OR POLLEN. I HAD SAMPLES OF THE FLAKES ANALYZED BY ANALYTICS CORP. OF ASHLAND, VA AND THE TESTS SHOWED A PLETHORA OF ELEMENTS TO INCLUDE ONES THAT ARE CONSIDERED TOXIC. I PUT A CLAIM IN WITH GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE THE DEALER REPLACE THE EVAPORATOR CORE ID I SIGN A RELEASE/NON DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT GIVING UP ALL FUTURE RIGHTS AND CLAIMS. HOWEVER, I DON'T IF THE EVAPORATOR CORE IS THE SOURCE OF THESE TOXIC METALS.

TAKATA INFLATORS PASSENGER AIR BAG SERVICE LIGHT IS ON. THIS HAS BEEN DINGING EVERY MILE TO ALERT US SINCE JULY 18, 2018. IT STARTED ON1-40 NEAR GATLINGBURG, TN. WE LISTENED TO THE DING DING DING ALL THE WAY HOME TO FRANKLIN, OH - OVER 6 STRAIGHT HOURS AND ARE STILL LISTENING TO THE DING DING DING EVERYTIME WE DRIVE THIS EQUINOX. TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS MODEL AND YEAR BUT WE DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE. WARRANTY EXPIRED BY A FEW WEEKS. THIS IS COSTING US OVER $800 TO HAVE IT REPLACED. WE FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER. WE'VE BEEN DRIVING IT SINCE THE ALERT STARTED JULY 18TH, 2018. TOOK US TWO WEEKS TO GET INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND NOW WE'RE WAITING FOR THE PART TO COME IN. WE ARE DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT COULD POSSIBLE BE DANGEROUS. CONTACTED CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WERE TOLD THEY COULD NOT HELP US AND CHEVROLET WOULD NOT BE PAYING TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPLACED BECAUSE OUR VIN # WAS NOT ON THE RECALL. NO PROBLEM WITH OUR DEALERSHIP - STILL WAITING ON THE PART. PLEASE LET US KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE RECALL AND WHY WE WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THANKS
