A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO I STARTED EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH VEHICLE. AT SPEEDS OVER 60 THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE AND WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE CAR WOULD DO A ROCKING MOTION. TODAY ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR WAS DRIVING FINE THAN RANDOMLY A LIGHT POPPED ON THAT SAID LOW OIL CONSUMPTION TURN OFF ENGINE AND THE CAR BEGAN EXCESSIVELY SMOKING FROM UNDER HOOD. I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED I THE OIL AND IT WAS EMPTY ADDED 4 QUARTS IT WAS STILL EMPTY LOOKED UNDER CAR AND OIL HAD LEAKED EVERYWHERE. NO PRIOR WARNING LIGHTS OR CHECK OIL OR LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHTS WERE ON. I GET PROPER OIL CHANGES WHEN DUE. A COUPLE OF MOTHS BACK I WAS HAVING SEVERAL ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE AS WELL WERE THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WOULD POP ON AND OFF AIR AND RADIO WOULD TURN ITSELF ON AND OFF, DOORS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING ETC. AND TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED CHEVY DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED AND THESE ISSUES WERE MONTHS AFTER I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AFTER IT FAILS MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. *TR

HAD A OIL CHANGE APRIL 15 2020. CAR WAS DRIVING FINE ON MAY 26 DRIVING AND WHITE SMOKE COMES OUT OF NOWHERE. NO LOW ENGINE LIGHT OR NOTHING JUST A SAD DAY. *TR

THE OTHER DAY IT WAS RAINING SLIGHTLY AND I WAS AT MY FRIENDS HOUSE. LATER WHEN I LEFT IT WAS RAINING HARDER SO I WAS USING MY WIPERS AND WHEN I HAD GOTTEN 5 MINS DOWN THE ROAD MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AND IT CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE A THING. WHEN THAT HAPPENED I HIT SOMETHING AND WAS IN THE GRASS A BIT. NOW I HAVE A CHUNK OF MY BUMPER GONE AND A HEADLIGHT OUT CAUSE OF WHAT I HIT. WHICH I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS I HIT. NOW MY WIPERS DON'T WORK, A CHUNK OF MY BUMPER IS GONE, AS WELL AS SOME PLASTIC UNDER MY CAR CAME OFF. *TR

NO DEFROST/HEAT. ALL ELECTRONICS TURN OFF IT DOES NOT MATTER HIGHWAY/CITY. WHEN TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGES DASH WILL CUT OFF AND I HAVE TO RESTART. I HAVE HAD MY CAR JUST LOSE POWER FOR NO REASON HIGHWAY OR CITY. THIS THING IS NOT SAFE! I KNOW THE DATE STATES 12/31/2019. HOWEVER I HAVE DEALING WITH THIS SINCE I GOT THIS THING. *TR

2 DAYS AFTER DRIVING THIS 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX OFF THE LOT. THE POWER STEERING PUMP GOES OUT. THE POWER STEERING HAD A WINDING NOISE SINCE IT WAS REPLACED, AND THEY TOLD ME THERE MAY JUST BE AIR IN THE LINE. AFTER RIVING IT THAT WAY FOR A MONTH TOOK IT IN TO GET THAT LOOKED AT AND THEY ENDED UP REPLACING THAT AND SAID IT WAS A FAULTY PUMP. THEN DAYS LATER ONE OF THE TIRE SENSORS GOES OUT. HAD THAT REPLACED! THEN A FEW HOURS AFTER DRIVING IT THAT SAME TIRE SENSOR GOES OUT AGAIN. THIS IS THE WORST VEHICLE THAT GENERAL MOTORS AS MADE!!!!! IT HAD NEW TIRES WHEN WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND NOT EVEN 8 MONTHS THE TWO REAR TIRES WERE MAKING THE REAR END SLIDE ALL OVER THE ROAD AND AFTER INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM I FOUND THE TWO REAR TIRES HAD WIRES SHOWING ON THE INSIDE OF THE WHEEL TREAD ALL THE WAY AROUND THE WHEELS. TAKE IT IN AND THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE A TIRE ROTATION! WELL, AFTER REPLACING THE TIRES, THEN 6 MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD THE NEW TIRES ARE IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE JUST ON THE REAR TIRES. THERE IS NO WAY THAT YOU NEED TO HAVE A TIRE ROTATION THAT OFTEN. HAD THEM REPLACED ONCE AGAIN. THE HEAT STOPPED WORKING AND ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR! FOUND OUT THAT THESE VEHICLES ARE KNOWN FOR THIS ISSUE. THAT SENSOR UP UNDER THE GLOVE BOX ISN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO OPEN/CLOSE THE VENT TO KEEP REGULATING THE HEAT CONTROL. NOW, THE 2ND SET OF TIRES HAVE THE SAME WIRES GOING AROUND THE TIRES!!!!! MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE! IF, GM DOESN'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE ISSUES THEY ARE GOING TO BE FACING A LOT OF LAWSUITS OR CUSTOMERS GOING ELSEWHERE. NOW THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AND LIKE THE CONTROL ARMS FELL OFF UNDER THE OUTER DASH AREA!!!! TAKE THESE VEHICLES STRAIGHT TO THE JUNKYARDS. OH, AND THE STABILITY TRAC CONTROL ISSUE HAS HAPPENED AS WELL WERE THE VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF A FOUR-LANE FREEWAY!!!

THIS 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX CONSUMES A LOT OF OIL, LIKE EVERY TANK OF GAS I HAVE TO ADD OIL. THIS SHOULDN'T BE.
