2012 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Complaints

WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDDLE WHEN GOING AROUND 30 MILES PER HOUR THERE IS A HESITATION THEN A SURGE. IT HAS BEEN DOING THAT SINCE PURCHASE. *TR

DRIVING BACK FROM EL PASO I FELT A SMALL VIBRATION 1/4 OF THE WAY ON A TRIP BACK FROM EL PASO TO PHX. THE VIBRATION BECAME STRONGER THE FARTHER I WENT. I CHECKED AND THE LEFT REAR TIRE WAS SEPARATED. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIRE THAT HAS SEPARATED IN A TWO WEEK PERIOD. THE PREVIOUS WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY CAUSING THE CONTACT TO APPLY FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,600.

AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN GETTING READY TO COME TO A STOP AT ABOUT 10/15 MPH, I PRESSED MY BRAKES AND THEY FELT HARD. I COULD NOT PRESS DOWN SO I CONTINUED TO TRY, WHEN THEY VIBRATED AND COULD NOT STOP, I CRASHED INTO THE PERSON AT THE RED LIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. *TR

THE ABS LIGHTS TURN ON AND THE "SERVICE STABILITRAK" MESSAGE APPEARS. THE LIGHTS AND MESSAGE TURN OFF AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, BUT THEN CONTINUOUSLY TURN OFF AND ON. THE CHEVY DEALERSHIPS DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

I FILED A DIFFERENT REPORT EARLIER FOR THE SAME VEHICLE. NOW THE VEHICLE IS STARTING ON ITS OWN, IF THE KEY IS LEFT IN THE IGNITION WHEN YOU TURN IT OFF, ABOUT 30 SECONDS TO 1 MINUTE LATER THE CAR WILL START WITH NO ONE BEHIND THE WHEEL. IT WILL CONTINUE TO TRY TO START UNTIL YOU PULL THE KEY OUT. IT IS JUST THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, NO KEY CHAIN HANGING FROM IT. LAST WEEK APR 29,2014 THE CAR STARTED AND RAN FOR 10 SECOND WITH THE IGNITION OFF. HOW LONG BEFORE THE VEHICLE JUMPS INTO GEAR AND RUNS SOMEONE OVER WITH NO ONE BEHIND THE WHEEL? I FOUND OUT THAT THIS WEBSITE DOES NOT INVESTIGATE ANY REPORT UNLESS YOU PAY $50.00 PLUS, WHATEVER ELSE THEY WANT FOR IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

THE 2012 CHEVY EQUINOX STALL CONSTANTLY BELOW 30 MPH. IT STALLS AT LEAST 2 TO 3 TIMES TRYING TO BACK OUT OF GARAGE TO MOVE IT 10 FEET. THE IDLE STARTS OFF SMOOTH BUT WITHIN 10 SECONDS THE EQUINOX STARTS IDLING ROUGH AND JERKING, THEN IT STALLS. WHEN STOPPED AT STOP LIGHT THE EQUINOX JERKS BACK AND FORTH, WHEN I GIVE IT GAS TO GO, THE EQUINOX JERKS FORWARD AND USUALLY DIES ON ME. IT BURNS A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS AND OIL, I HAVE TO REFILL THE OIL UP AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK.I HAVE CHANGED THE OIL MYSELF AND FOUND THE OIL IS SATURATED WITH METAL FILINGS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE BECAUSE OF A DEAD CELL. I HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE DUE TO A BLOW-OUT AT 24,000 MILES AND DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPLACE IT, SAYING I HIT SOMETHING AND IT COULD NOT HAVE BLOWN OUT. THE ENTIRE NAVIGATION SYSTEM IN OUT AND THE LIGHTS FLICKER IN THE CUP HOLDERS. THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS WHEN OUT FOR AT LEAST 5 DAYS AND IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN WITH NO REPAIR OF THE SYSTEM. THIS IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE CONSIDERING, I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO STALL DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. A RECALL IS MANDATORY FOR FULL REPLACEMENT!!!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING I SLOWED DOWN TO STOP FOR LIGHT , LIGHT CHANGED SO I ACCELERATED WHEN I STEP ON GAS VEHICLE HESITATED AND LURCHED FORWARD WITH AN IMPACT SIMILAR TO BEING REAR ENDED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. ON ANOTHER OCCASION WHEN ACCELERATING VEHICLE ALMOST STALLED BEFORE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED. ON ANOTHER OCCASION THE VEHICLE WAS AT A DEAD STOP AND WHEN I STEPPED ON GAS PEDDLE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE IMMEDIATELY . THIS HAS BEEN AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM GOING ON FOR OVER 2 YEARS AND 30000 MILES. EVERY TIME I TOOK IT IN FOR MAINTENANCE I WOULD COMPLAIN ABOUT PROBLEM TO NO HELP FROM DEALER THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE. I CONTACTED GM ABOUT PROBLEM THEY SENT ME TO SELLING DEALER WHO KEPT IT FOR ONE AND A HALF DAYS AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE .THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME HIS WIFE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY ARE TRADING THERE VEHICLE IN ON THE SAME VEHICLE WITH A 6 CYLINDER. THE SERVICE WRITER WHO WROTE UP MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM IN A DIFFERENT MODEL BUT HE JUST LIVES WITH IT. WE FEEL THIS VEHICLE HAS BECOME VERY UNSAFE AND WE DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GET THIS RESOLVED. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AGAIN AND THEY HAD NOT RESPONDED. WE HAVE FOUND SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM ON SEVERAL WEBSITES INCLUDING CHEVY FORUM . *TR
