2012 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

I WAS STOPPED BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE MAKING A TURN. I WAS THEN REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE AT APPROX. 30MPH. THIS CAUSE ME TO BE PUSHED INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THERE IS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE FRONT AND REAR OF MY VEHICLE. THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. RIGHT AFTER THE ACCIDENT, ONSTAR CALL ME TO AS IF I NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION, BECAUSE THERE SYSTEM ALERTED THEM OF A AN ACCIDENT. NOW BOTH MY FRONT SEATBELTS ARE LOCKED IN PLACE AND THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. I WAS PUSHED SO HARD INTO THE VEHICLE INFRONT OF ME THAT MY METAL BUMPER SUPPORT IS CRACKED 80% OF THE WAY THROUGH. I SUSTAINED A MILD CONCUSSION AND WHIPLASH BECAUSE OF THIS ACCIDENT. WITH ALL THE DAMAGE FRONT AND REAR, THOSE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN I-96 IN MICHIGAN AT MILE 62, I FELT AN EXPLOSION UNDER MY FEET. THERE WAS A LARGE CLOUD OF BLACK SMOKE FOLLOWED BY FLAMES UNDERNEATH AND OUT THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, RAN TO SAFETY WHILE WATCHING THE VEHICLE BURN UNDERNEATH. THE AIR DRAFT FROM PASSING TRAFFIC EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. QUALIFIED TECHNICIANS AT OUR LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER HAVE TOLD US THERE IS A GOLF-BALL SIZE HOLE AND A SOFTBALL SIZE HOLE IN THE ENGINE IN ADDITION TO NUMEROUS ISSUES RESULTING FROM THE FIRE (MELTED FUEL AND BRAKE LINES, CHARRED AND BUBBLED PAINT AND MELTED PLASTIC PARTS, ETC.) ALTHOUGH THIS IS COVERED BY GM WARRANTY AND THEIR INVESTIGATION "TOTALED" THE CAR , CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS NOT OFFERED ASSISTANCE THAT WILL COVER REPLACEMENT OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS WERE CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN JERKING AND IT FEELS LIKE IT IS BEING HELD BACK. I CAN HEAR/FEEL IT SHIFTING. IT DOWN SHIFTS CAUSING THE CAR TO NOTICEABLY JERK THE ENTIRE CAR. MY CAR JUST STALLED, DIED THREE TIMES YESTERDAY. I HAVE CHILDREN AND THIS IS NOT OK. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE EQUINOX IS BURNING OIL WAY TO FAST. I AM NOT THE ONLY OWNER WITH THIS PROBLEM. I WAS QUOTED $1100 TO REPAIR THE PISTON/GASKET ISSUE AND THE GARAGE SAID THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY EQUINOX OWNER TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THEY SHOULD DO A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. MY OIL IS CHANGED RELIGIOUSLY EVERY 5000 MILES. *TR

VEHICLE LIGHTS FOR SERVICE STABILITRAC, ENGINE AND ALTERNATOR WILL BE LIT ON DASH. CAR HESITATES UPON ACCELERATION. CAR WAS CHECKED BY DEALER BUT THEY UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

THE CAR STALLED REPEATEDLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PULL FORWARD INTO TRAFFIC. THE CAR COULD BE RESTARTED BUT CONTINUED TO STALL WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. *TR

AFTER 36K MILES, THE CAR STEERING WOULD STICK AND SLIP. PA DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE AS THIS WOULD HAPPEN AT HIGHER SPEED 65MPH. BUT, UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING RACK DUE TO A TECHNICAL BULLETIN REPORT ABOUT STEERING STICKING/SLIPPING. THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY AND CAME BACK AFTER 36K MORE MILES ON THE NEW STEERING RACK. CAR IS AT VA DEALER TODAY FOR DIAGNOSTIC TEST AS I MOVED. CAR ALSO HESITATES AND JERKS BACK WHEN ACCELERATING AND HAS DONE THAT SINCE A YEAR AFTER OWNED VEHICLE. LOVE THE CAR DESIGN BUT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AS I FEEL LIKE I DON'T HAVE CONTROL OVER STEERING. AT TIMES STEERING FEELS LOOSE CAR HAS SLIPPED ON ICE AND CANNOT CONTROL STEERING. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED AND FEEL THE STEERING DESIGN IS POOR. STEERING RACK DESIGN IS A SIMPLE CONCEPT AND DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS A POOR DESIGN. I'M SKEPTICAL ABOUT KEEPING THE CAR AS I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING. *TR

VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE UNEXPECTEDLY OR SPUTTER OR PAUSE BEFORE ACCELERATING. VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT SEVERAL TIMES. RADIO PRESET STATION ZEROS OUT OR RADIO STATION RANDOMLY CHANGES. CLOCK DOES NOT WORK ON A REGULAR BASIS. KEY FOB LOCKS AND DOOR OPENER RANDOMLY STOPS WORKING UNTIL KEY FOB IS PUT INTO THE IGNITION. WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH COME ON RANDOMLY, MOSTLY ON WASHER FLUID AND TIRE PRESSURE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND NEEDED TO TURN MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED IN PLACE, I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL AND ALMOST RUN INTO A BRICK WALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM GM ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER THE INCIDENCE THAT STATED THE STEERING WILL LOCK IN PLACE. I CONTACTED GM ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THERE IS NOT ANYTHING THAT THEY CAN DO TO ASSIST ME WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR
