2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

I WAS TURNING LEFT ON A GREEN LIGHT AT THE CORNER OF ARGYLE AND OAKLEAF SUNTRUST BANK WHEN THE CAR SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL AND I WAS STUCK IN ONEWAY OPPOSITE TRAFFIC UNTIL I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED IT AND THEN WAS A BLE TO GO INTO DRIVE, I WAS ALMOST IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH SEVERAL CARS. THEN I WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON HWY 295 AND I HAD IT IN CRUISE CONTROL AND I COULD NOT GET IT TO QUIT UNTIL I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. THE POWER TRAIN WAS SLIPPING AFTER I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE CHEVY DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED BUT LESS THAN A YEAR LATER IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING AS BEFORE, SLIPPING, MAKING LOUD SCRATCHING NOISES.RUBBING NOISES AND IT SMELLED FUNNY LIKE IT WAS BURNING BUT THERE WAS NO FIRE. *TR

FIRST TIME OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. THE END OF JUNE, 2014 BEGAN NOTICING THAT THE GPS WOULD NOT SAVE DESTINATIONS WHEN TRAVELING, WOULD HAVE TO REENTER ADDRESS ANYTIME THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. SHORTLY AFTER THIS, THE CLOCK STOPPED WORKING, WHEN THE TIME WAS CORRECTED, IF WOULD RESET AFTER IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON TO THE INCORRECT TIME. THE BLUETOOTH ALSO BEGAN RANDOMLY DISCONNECTING AND WOULD NOT CONNECT ANYMORE. SEPT. 24TH, THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. OWNER WAS TOLD THE ENTIRE NAVIGATION SYSTEM WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED, FOR QUOTED $1300. OWNER NOT SATISFIED, WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER, AND THAT THERE WAS BAD WIRING. OWNER FEELS THAT GM SHOULD COVER THE DEFECTIVE PART. IF BAD WIRING EXISTS, THIS COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD. OWNER ALSO FOUND SERVICE BULLETIN PI-0285-D, WHICH WAS CONSISTENT WITH THE PROBLEMS THAT HAD BEEN OCCURRING. DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE OWNER DID NOT PURCHASE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, GM WILL ONLY COVER A PERCENTAGE OF THE COST TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART. *TR

MY WIFE PURCHASED A 2011 CHEVY EQUINOX WITH A WINDOW STICKER STATING A FOUR CYLINDER ENGINE. IT HAD 1800 MILES ON THE VEHICLE WHEN PURCHASED. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED AND FOUND IT HAS A SIX CYLINDER ENGINE. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE AND WHO SHOULD I SPEAK WITH AT GM. I'M VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE OF THE TERRIBLE GAS MILEAGE AND A SIX CYL ENGINE WAS NOT SHOWN ON THE PAPER WORK? *TR

WHILE DRIVING THIS BEING WITH A MALFUNCTIONING TCMP I WAS COMING UP ON A LIGHT AT ABOUT 45 MPH AND THE BRAKES FAILED AND UPON IMPACT THE SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK BUT ACTUALLY LET ME MOVE RIGHT INTO THE STEERING WHEEL THUS CAUSING SERIOUS DAMAGE TO MY STERNUM AND ALSO BREAKING 2 RIBS AND MY HEAD CRACKED MY WINDSHIELD AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED OUT BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY WHO OF COURSE DID NOT PAY ANYTHING NEAR WHAT I DID GO FIGURE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE 2011 EQUINOX WILL JERK OR JUMP AS IF BEING HIT FROM BEHIND WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE STABILITY TRACK LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF PERIODICALLY WHILE IN MOTION. WHEN THE CAR IS BEING TURNED OFF IT SHAKES AS IF THE MOTOR IS GOING TO FALL OUT. I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE AC BEFORE TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH TO OFF POSITION TO DECREASE SOME OF THE SHAKING, YET IT DOES NOT PREVENT IT. FURTHERMORE WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX.. 30-35MPHS, THE CAR JUMPS TO 5TH GEAR WITHOUT ALLOWING TO ACCELERATE ANY FASTER IN THE MIST OF TRAFFIC.THE 2011 CHEVROLET EQUINOX SHAKES AND MAKES A WINING NOISE WHILE IDLING. IT DOES SO TO THE POINT WHERE THE HOOD IS SHAKING. THE CAR ONLY HAS 54000 MILES ON IT. ALSO I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY ADJUST THE SEATBELT WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE IT CUTS INTO MY NECK WHICH IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND A HUGE DISTRACTION. THIS CAR WILL NOW GO FORWARD IN DRIVE BUT IT WILL NOT REVERSE. *TR

MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. I JUST PURCHASE THE VEHICLE LESS THAN 90 DAYS. THEY STATE THE AIR BAG WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THE TECH STATES THE TSB PART IN THE PASSENGER SIDE IS OUT IN THE AIR BAG. I AM SURE THE DEALER KNEW OF THIS ISSUE WHEN THEY DID THE DIAGNOSTIC BEFORE THE CAR WAS SOLD TO ME. THEY WILL NOT FIX THE VEHICLE @ THEIR AND EXPENSE AND I AM OUT OF $541.00. I FEEL THAT THIS ISSUES NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS AND A RECALL DOWN DUE TO THE COMPLAINTS FOR AIR BAG ON FILE, AND MY MONEY IS REFUNDED BY THE MANUFACTURER . *TR
