2010 Chevrolet Equinox Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEFROSTER FOR THE WINDSHIELD FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V489000 (VISIBILITY). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

WASN'T INFORMED ABOUT THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. LETTER NEVER MADE IT TO MY HOUSE. EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION HAS CAUSED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER TO FAIL PREMATURELY . CHEVY ISSUED A SPECIAL WARRANTY BUT IT DISQUALIFIES YOU IF YOU HAVE MORE 120K MILES. CHEVY HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUES SINCE 2011 BUT INTENTIONALLY WAITED TO ISSUE SPECIAL BULLETIN BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO DISQUALIFY AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE.. THE SERVICE REP TOLD ME SINCE I DIDN'T PAY THE PREVIOUS REPAIR (WHICH WERE MANUFACTURER DEFECTS) THAT I AM BASICALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. THIS CAR HAS HAD OVER 4 MAJOR REPAIRS THAT WERE DUE TO MANUFACTURER DEFECTS BUT THE REP IS SAYING THAT SINCE I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER THEY WON'T ASSIST ME. I TOLD HER THE ISSUE IS WITH THE CAR, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OWNERSHIP WHICH IS WHY YOU'RE ISSUING ALL THE SPECIAL WARRANTIES. NONE OF THE MAJOR REPAIRS THAT WERE DONE ON THIS CAR ARE LISTED IN THE VEHICLE HISTORY REPORT ON CARFAX OR ON THE GM OWNER SITE WHERE IT STATES THAT SUCH REPORTS WILL APPEAR. I GOT THE SERVICE REPORT FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I SAW THE SALES ASSOCIATE WITH IT. I TOLD THE REP HAD THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION BEEN LISTED ON MY CHEVY PROFILE I WOULD HAVE HAD THE ISSUE FIXED THUS SAVING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. SHE STILL CLAIMED IT WAS SENT. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS NEED TO BE RECALLED WITHOUT EXCEPTION. HONDA REPLACED MY CRACKED MY ENGINE BLOCK NO QUESTIONS ASKED! THEY HAVE HONORED EVER WARRANTY I'VE EVER HAD AND FIXED EVERY MANUFACTURER DEFECT WITHOUT DRAMA. I CANNOT SAY THAT ABOUT CHEVY. THEY HAVE CAUSED ME NOTHING BUT STRESS OVER ISSUES THEY CREATED AND HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH IT AND TODAY I JUST LEARNED THAT MY CAR NOW HAS A FUEL PUMP RECALL.

DRIVERS SEATBELT PRETESIONER CONNECTOR SHORTED. AIRBAG FAULT LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. REPAIR COST WAS &161.60. I FEEL THIS SAFETY RELATED ITEM SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. GM AND THE DEALER SAY SERVICE BULLETIN 14710 ONLY APPLIES TO CERTAIN 2010 EQUINOXES AND THAT MINE ISN'T INCLUDED BASED ON THE SERIAL NUMBER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING BELT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 149,500. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, SMOKE EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD THROUGH THE VENTILATION SYSTEM. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT BECAME EXTREMELY SICK AND LIGHTHEADED AND WAS CONCERNED A CRASH WOULD OCCUR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO USE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, THEY FAILED TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN POURING RAIN AND THE I TURNED THE WIPERS TO GO FASTER AS THE RAIN CAME DOWN HARDER WHILE DRIVING AT LEAST 40MPH ON THE FREEWAY. AT THIS TIME I HAD TO HURRY AND TRY TO GET TO A SAFE SPOT WHICH WAS HARD TO GET TO AS THE VISIBILITY WAS VERY HARD TO SEE.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING WITH CODE P0017 CRANKSHAFT POSITION - CAMSHAFT POSITION CORRELATION (BANK 1 SENSOR B). THE NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING TWO MORE CODES CAME ON INCLUDING P0700 AND P182E (I HAVE ON OBD READER). AT THAT MOMENT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN BUT THE TRANSMISSION APPEARED TO GO INTO A NEUTRAL CONDITION. THIS OCCURED WHILE DRIVING @ 30 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET. AT THAT POINT I COULD REV THE ENGINE BUT THEIR WAS NO FORWARD DRIVE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE. AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT IN AN OFF CONDITION FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES, I WAS THE ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE HOME. I THEN BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTICS AS THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPONENTS WHICH COULD CAUSE THIS ERROR CODE. THE DEALER THEN CONCLUDED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAD APPARENTLY STRETCHED AND WAS CAUSING THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR TO TRIP. I WAS TOLD THAT THE REPAIR WAS VERY EXTENSIVE AND OF COURSE COSTLY AS THE MOTOR HAS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE STRETCHED TIMING CHAIN. I STARTED RESEARCHING THE ERROR CODE ONLINE AND CAME ACROSS A SERVICE BULLETIN (SB-10052863-6133) PUBLISHED IN 2014 BY GENERAL MOTORS DETAILING A NEWER TIMING CHAIN KIT THAT WAS RELEASED TO ADDRESS THIS STRETCHING ISSUE. SEVERAL GENERAL MOTORS MODELS ARE INCLUDED IN THE BULLETIN AS THEY ALL UTILIZE THE SAME V6 3.0 LITER ENGINE AS WHAT IS IN MY EQUINOX. MY MAJOR GRIPE IS THAT THE CONSUMER SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE POTENTIAL PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE TIMING CHAIN SOONER, BEFORE THE WARRANTY PERIOD EXPIRED. GENERAL MOTORS HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH TIMING CHAIN FAILURES IN THEIR 4 CYLINDER 2.4 LITER ENGINES AND AN OFFICIAL RECALL WAS DONE FOR THAT ENGINE. I FEEL THIS SAME CONDITION IS NOW STARTED TO AFFECT THE V6 3.0 LITER AS WELL.

I HAVE 72615 MILES ON MY CAR. I JUST HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION MECHANIC AT AAMCO SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF WAVE PLATE FAILURE. MY CAR HAS A 6T45E TRANSMISSION. THE COST TO HAVE THIS REPLACED WAS $3,414.43 AND IN HIS PROFESSIONAL OPINION THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED AT THIS LOW MILEAGE. THIS FAILURE HAPPENED ALL OF A SUDDEN. I HAD NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL THE DAY IT WENT OUT COMPLETELY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT OBSERVED AN ABNORMAL TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE HOOD WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CONSUMING A LOT OF OIL. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP LIFTERS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 102,000.

WAVE PLATE THE WAVE PLATE BLEW UP IN OUR TRANSMISSION LEAVING US WITH A $5000 BILL ON A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 76000 MILES. THE WAVE PLATE ON 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX'S HAS BEEN RECALLED BY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBERS BY GM BUT FOR WHATEVER REASON MY VIN IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. IT SHOULD BE AND I SHOULDNT BE PAYING A 5000$ BILL. OUR VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD AND 4 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR. MY HUSBAND AND A KIND GENTLEMAN HAD TO PUSH THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE ROADWAY.

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN DEC 2014 AT 42,000 MILES AS A CERTIFIED PRE OWNED $15000 CASH. THE VEHICLE STARTED EXPERIENCING ENGINE TROUBLE IN JULY 2016 IT WE WERE IN THE PROCESS OF OF DIAGNOSTICS FOR EXCESS OIL CONSUMPTION AND ENGINE REPAIR. AFTER THE CARE BROKE DOWN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE BACKSEAT. AUG 2016 THE CAR STALLS AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY CHILDREN IN IT. THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED. WE HAVENT EVEN OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS. IT ONLY HAS 76,000 MILES ON IT. BUT GM SAYS ITS PAST THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY MARK BY 8 MONTHS SO THEY WONT HELP. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THESE ISSUES WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. THERE ARE STORIES ALL OVER THE INTERNET WHERE PEOPLE HAVE STALLED ON HIGHWAYS FROM THIS ISSUE! IT NEEDS TO GE RECALLED. THIS IS A DEATH TRAP. WE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OW WORSE. UNFORTUNATELY THATS WHAT IT TAKES NOW A DAYS FOR A COMPANY TO CARE.

WHILE DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, THE CAR BEGAN TO MAINTAIN AN RPM LEVEL OF 5,000 AND WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 25 MPH. GOT THE CAR HOME AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAILED 3 5 WAVE PLATE. WHEN TEST DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED COMPLETELY. THE WAVE PLATE HAD BEGUN TO DETERIORATE AND METAL PARTICLES WERE FLOATING IN THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE CAR HAD JUST UNDER 40,000 MILES ON IT BUT IT IS 6 YEARS OLD SO IT IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY. CHEVY OFFERED MINIMAL PRICE ASSISTANCE. THIS ISSUE WITH THE 3 5 WAVE PLATE WAS A KNOWN ISSUE ON 2008 AND 2009 MODELS AND AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS ISSUED BY CHEVY. THE PROBLEM WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RESOLVED FOR 2010 MODELS, BUT HERE WE ARE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE SHIFTER DID NOT ENGAGE AND THE VEHICLE BECAME INOPERABLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,222.

2010 CHEVY EQUINOX TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I AM SURPRISE THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2010 EQUINOX AND GMC HAS NOT RESPONDED. I HAVE THE 2014 AND 2010 EQUINOX MODELS AND I BOUGHT BOTH NEW. I AM NOW WORRIED THAT I HAVE TOO MANY CARS MADE BY GM. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY 2010 EQUINOX FOR YEARS BUT NOTHING CLOSE TO THE CURRENT TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. MY CURRENT MILEAGE IS 92,222. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT APPEARED MY CAR SKIDDED. I THEN CHANGED LANE TO BE SAFE. NEXT THING I KNOW, THE CAR RPM SOARED BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE. ESSENTIALLY, THE CAR ACTED AS IF IT WAS ON NEUTRAL WHEN ON DRIVE. I THEN TURNED OF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED IT AND THE CAR DROVE ABOUT 2 POLES BUT WOULD NOT FURTHER ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS STRANDED WITH MY 8 YEAR OLD SON BY THE HIGHWAY SHOULDER. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER. SEVERAL HOURS LATER, I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE WAVE PLATE IN THE TRANSMISSION WAS BROKE AND THAT I HAD TO WAIT SEVERAL DAYS TO KNOW WHAT OTHER DAMAGE RESULTED. WITH THE SAME CAR, I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEM WITH THE BEARINGS AND FREQUENT AIRBAG PROBLEMS. THE CAR DOES NOT RIDE WELL LIKE THE 2014 MODEL. FOR SOME MONTHS NOW, THERE HAS BEEN AN ANNOYING LOW RPM NOISE AT LOW SPEED THAT THE TECH COULD NOT DIAGNOSE. I AM NOW WONDERING IF IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION FAILING ALL ALONG. THE SAME ANNOYING SOUND IS NOW OCCURRING IN THE 2014 EQUINOX. IT BEGS THE QUESTION OF WHETHER THERE IS A PERVASIVE QUALITY PROBLEM WITH GM VEHICLES. TO GM, I DEMAND A FIX TO THIS 2010 EQUINOX TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. MY VIN WOULD BE READILY AVAILABLE. I WAS SHOPPING FOR A GM TRUCK BUT I AM HAVING TO WAIT AND SE

WHILE RAMPING ON TO A BUSY HIGHWAY IN MY 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX (67,000 MILES) ACCELERATING TOWARD 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STARTED DECELERATING AND RPMS CLIMBED. THIS RESULTED IN ME BEING NEARLY REAR-ENDED AND I HAD TO QUICKLY GUIDE THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE WOULD ONLY REV IN GEAR AND NOT MOVE FORWARD. I SHIFTED THE VEHICLE TO PARK AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE IT SEEMED AS IF IT HAD FUNCTION BACK. I PROCEEDED A FEW MILES FURTHER TO A PARKING LOT. AT THIS POINT, THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT FUNCTIONING WELL ENOUGH TO GO FURTHER. THIS IS WHEN WE CALLED A TOWING SERVICE, AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. ULTIMATELY, WE WERE TOLD THAT A PLATE HAD GONE OUT IN THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT THIS HAD ALSO DESTROYED SEVERAL OTHER COMPONENTS IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE QUOTE FOR THESE REPAIRS WAS $4600.00. THIS HAPPENED AROUND 67,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND AFTER REPORTING TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES EARLY IN OWNERSHIP AND OVER MULTIPLE VISITS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING AN ODD SOUND COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION ON SHIFTS. WE REPORTED THESE ISSUES WAY BEFORE THE 100,000 MILES/5 YEAR WARRANTY EXPIRED. INSTEAD OF FINDING ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT IT COULD BE AN ENGINE PROBLEM AND TOLD US TO START COMING IN EVERY 1000 MILES FOR AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I FEEL THAT THIS WAS A DELAY TACTIC TO MAKE SURE THAT CHEVROLET WOULD NOT HAVE TO COVER WARRANTY REPAIR OF THE TRANSMISSION. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT IT IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE, CONSIDERING THAT PRIOR MODELS OF THE CHEVROLET EQUINOX HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION PLATES AND THE CHANCE FOR A DEADLY ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF MOMENTUM IN TRAFFIC WITH NO WARNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING OPERATED, AN ABNORMAL NOISE EMITTED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THERE WAS A LACK OF POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN FRACTURED AND THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000. UPDATED 01/25/17*LJ *TR

ON 8/20/2016 I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY INTERSTATE IN POURING RAIN WITH MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON HIGH WHEN THE WIPERS WENT LEFT AND STOPPED. THIS LEFT ME IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER TO WAIT FOR THE RAIN TO LET UP SO I COULD RE-POSITION THE WIPERS. I TRIED TO USE THEM AGAIN BUT THEY STILL DID NOT WORK. I PULLED BACK ON TO THE INTERSTATE, PARKED UNDER AN OVERPASS, AND CALLED FOR SOMEONE TO BRING A REPLACEMENT FUSE. THIS DID NOT WORK EITHER. BASED ON RESEARCH INTO THIS ISSUE, IT APPEARS THE WIPER TRANSMISSION FAILED. FROM THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I FOUND, THIS SEEMS TO BE A WELL KNOWN ISSUE. WITHOUT A DOUBT, IT IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE! THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE TURNED INTO A RECALL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE STARTED TO REV, WOULD NOT GO OVER 30 MILES PER HOUR, NO REVERSE, ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED. ALMOST INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT.

I'VE HAD AN EXHAUST PROBLEM FOR THE FOURTH TIME!

I RECEIVED A CHEVROLET 2010 EQUINOX FROM BOB'S SAYS YES SUPER STORE IN COLUMBUS,OHIO IN 2016.TWO WEEKS LATER WE HAD ENGINE PROBLEMS.WE INFORMED THEM AND GOT A DIAGNOSTIC AND BOB SAYS YES INFORMED ME THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG.A FEW WEEKS(APPROXIMATELY 4 WEEKS) GO BY AND WE TAKE IT BACK AND BOBS TELLS US THAT WE HAD TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST.SO WE HAD THE STATE OF OHIO ATTORNEY GENERAL OFFICE INVOLVED.BOB SAYS YES AGREES TO A FREE DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND WHEN THEY FINALLY AGREED TO LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM THEY AGREED TO PAY THE $1000.00 OF THE $1600.00 OF WHICH $600.00 WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY.LATER DURING THE WEEK I CALL BOB SAYS YES TO GET A UPDATE ON THE REPAIRS AND THEY INFORM ME THAT THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AND THE WORK COST MORE BUT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO CHARGE US MORE.APPARENTLY IF THEY ARE COVERING A RECALL THEN UNDER THE FACT IT IS A RECALL I SHOULD NOT BE PAYING ANYTHING SO I WILL BE CONTACTING THE OHIO ATTORNEY GENERAL ON THIS UPDATED INFORMATION.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN HARD RAINSTORM, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECAME INOPERABLE. THIS CAUSED A NEAR COMPLETE LOSS OF FORWARD VISION. WAS ABLE TO GUIDE VEHICLE TO SIDE OF THE ROAD. RAIN WAS SUCH THAT ONLY GUIDANCE BY WHITE/YELLOW STRIPES WAS POSSIBLE; ANY OBJECT FORWARD OF CAR COULD NOT BE SEEN THROUGH RAIN ON WINDSHIELD. WIPERS WERE MOVABLE BY HAND, AND MOTOR WAS AUDIBLY OPERATIONAL; A LINKAGE INTERNAL TO THE CAR HAD FAILED.

I HAD EXITED I75 AND WAS DRIVING ON A 35MPH COUNTY ROAD WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. I WAS DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED IN ANTICIPATION OF STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION. STEPPED ON THE BRAKES ON MY 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX AND THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN, BUT CAR WAS STILL ROLLING. NO WARNING SIGN FROM THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR. I'M SURE THERE ARE OTHERS OUT THERE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. MAJOR DRIVER/ROAD SAFETY ISSUE!!

2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS, ENGINE REPLACEMENT AND TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. SHE WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT ONTO THE NEXT ROAD AND TRIED SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL THEN BACK TO DRIVE AGAIN. THE VEHICLE REVVED WHEN SHE STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR. SHE PULLED OVER INTO A PARKING LOT, SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, AND RE-STARTED IT AGAIN. THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TWO MILES TO HER HOME, NEVER GETTING OUT OF FIRST GEAR, WHILE THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV. UPON RETURNING HOME, THE CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE ONTO THE STREET, OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, BUT SOON DISCOVERED THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE. HOWEVER, THE ENGINE REVVED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST WHERE THE CONSUMER WAS QUOTED A PRICE OF $ 3,465.90 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH FRACTURED WAVE PLATE THAT NEEDED TO PLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64.300.

WHILE DRIVING ON AN ARTERIAL CITY STREET APPROX 50MPH THE VEHICLE LUNGED UNEXPECTEDLY WITH A HARD KNOCK SOUND. AFTER SLOWING AT THE LIGHT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED ON NORMALLY. THE NEXT DAY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PUT IN REVERSE, TO BACK OUT OF THE GARAGE, NOTHING HAPPENED AND WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED STILL NOTHING HAPPENED. THE VEHICLE WAS PUT BACK INTO PARK AND THEN BACK INTO REVERSE AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED NORMALLY. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN LATER THE SAME DAY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALER AND DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM. A TECHNICIAN WAS ABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT IT WAS PROBABLY THE WAVE PLATE CRACKING IN THE TRANSMISSION. HE STATES THIS HAS BECOME A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR AND WHEN IT FULLY BREAKS IT CAN DO ALOT OF DAMAGE. LATER IN THE MORNING THE SERVICE REP CALLED AND STATED THE WAVE PLATE SHOULD BE REPLACED AND THAT IT WOULD COST $3600. I LOOKED THIS ISSUE UP ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND THEIR ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THIS VERY PART WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION, MANY WITH SCARY STORIES OF WHAT HAPPENED. CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE STATES THAT THERE WAS A NOTICE PUT OUT FOR MODEL YEARS 2007-2009 BUT NOTHING AFTER THAT FOR THE EXACT SAME SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAS BECOME A TREND AND THE WAVE PLATE/TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH THE 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE DEALER BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ITEM SO THAT THE CUSTOMER IS SAFE AND NOT STUCK WITH A $4000 REPAIR FOR SOMETHING THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS IDENTIFIED AS AN ISSUE ON THE EXACT SAME MODEL BUT OLDER MODEL YEARS. OBVIOUSLY AFTER IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM NOTHING WAS DONE TO CORRECT IT IN FUTURE MODEL YEARS AND THEREFORE ALL THOSE CUSTOMERS ARE AT RISK.

MY CAR BEGAN OVERCONSUMING OIL THE MOMENT I BOUGHT IT IN 2016. IT BROKE DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD NO OIL IT EVEN THOUGH I JUST HAD THE OIL REPLACED MERELY DAYS BEFORE. WE WERE IN ANOTHER STATE, SO I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED AND RENTED A RENTAL CAR FOR SEVERAL DAYS. IT COST ME OVER $1,000 TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR AND ASSOCIATED RENTAL COSTS. ULTIMATELY, THE CAR WAS SUBJECT TO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND THE ENTIRE ENGINE HAD TO BE REBUILT. LAST YEAR, MY TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET. I HAD TO GET THAT REPLACED TOO. NOW GM IS REFUSING TO COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR UNDER THE CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE POWER TO THE CAR WAS REDUCED, WAS BARLEY ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ONLY HAD ONE GEAR TO DRIVE TO A SAFE DISTANCE. HAD VEHICLE TAKEN TO LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND LEARNED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHOT AND THAT IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. THERE WAS NO SIGNS OR INDICATIONS OF THERE EVER BEING ANY ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE IS UP TO DATE WITH ALL SERVICES RECOMMENDED BY CHEVROLET. THESE MAKES AND MODELS NEED TO BE RECALLED FOR THE TRANSMISSION AS I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE & MODEL OF VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WITH NO SAFETY DEFECT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL GRINDING NOISE EMITTED FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT AND WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER FAILED TO OPERATE AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING EVAPORATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I WENT DIRECTLY TO CHEVY DEALER. THEY FOUND THAT THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY AS THE RUBBER SEAL INTO THE BREAK MASTER CYLINDER HAD FAILED. THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BOOSTER AND FLUSH THE BRAKE SYSTEM AT A COST OF $1,210.92. I DISCOVERED THAT THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM HAD LEAD TO RECALLS IN 2010 OF TOYOTA AVALONS AND HIGHLANDERS. ALSO NISSAN IN 2009 RECALLED SENTRAS FOR SAME REASON. MY CHEVY SERVICE MANAGER CONFIRMED THAT MY BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE WAS THE SAME CAUSE. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET HEADQUARTERS AND THEY REFUSE TO DISCUSS THE MATTER WITH ME AND REFUSE TO GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION ON THEIR EXPERIENCE OF THIS BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE.CAN YOU HELP ME?WHY IS THERE NO GM RECALL ?

MY 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX STARTED WITH AN OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM 86,000 MILES MAY 2016 ALL NEW PISTONS, RINGS, HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP TIMING CHAIN AND SEALS COVERED ON GM EXTENDED WARRANTY. 1 MONTH LATER THE TRANNY GOES 87,000 MI TOWED CAR TO DEALER THEY ARE TELLING ME I HAVE NO WARRANTY WILL COST ANYWHERE FROM $3-5,000. ALL I READ IS BAD NEWS ABOUT THIS TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED SEVERELY AND AN UNKNOWN SOUND WAS HEARD FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH IN THE LEFT LANE OF THREE LANE TRAFFIC, A SEMI-TRUCK MERGED FROM THE MIDDLE LANE TO THE LEFT LANE AND CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE SPUN AROUND AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT WAS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS AND RECEIVED EXTENSIVE MEDICAL TREATMENT. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE WRISTS, BACK, AND NECK AND HAD A CT SCAN FOR LOWER BACK PAINS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE CRASH. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOWED THE VEHICLE TO A YARD. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHY THE AIR BAGS HAD NOT DEPLOYED AND THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,070.

NUMBER ONE EXCESSIVE OIL STARTED AT ABOUT 55,000 MILES. NUMBER TWO EXCESSIVE ENGINE NOISE FROM TIMING CHAIN AND CAM SEIZURES. NUMBER THREE TRANSMISSION FAILURE 52,000 MILES. NUMBER 4 WIPER TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT APPROXIMATELY 48000 MILES NUMBER 5 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON DUE TO FAULTY CAM ACTUATORS.

ON 6-5-2016 WHILE TRAVELING ON THE PA TURNPIKE DURING A RAIN STORM THE VEHICLES WIPERS WERE AT FIRST OPERATING PROPERLY. VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING IN THE RIGHT LANE IN A SEVERAL MILE CONSTRUCTION ZONE WITH NO BERM AND CONCRETE BARRIERS ON BOTH SIDES, RAIN SUDDENLY PICKED UP TO A TORRENTIAL LEVEL. WHEN WIPERS WERE TURNED UP TO MAXIMUM SPEED THE DRIVERS SIDE WIPER IMMEDIATELY WENT BEYOND THE WINDOW ROOF PILLAR AND BOTH WIPERS FROZE IN PLACE. DRIVER FOUND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT THE FRONT WINDOW OR ACCURATELY DETERMINE WHERE HE WAS ON THE ROAD OTHER THAN TO GUESS BY DISTANCE FROM THE LEFT BARRIER. TRAFFIC WAS VERY HEAVY WITH TRAILER TRUCKS PASSING ON LEFT EXTREMELY CLOSE. EMERGENCY FLASHERS WERE ACTIVATED AND SPEED DROPPED TO A CRAWL WITH FEAR OF A CHAIN REACTION ACCIDENT FROM REAR. PASSENGER LEANED OUT RIGHT SIDE WINDOW AND GAVE GUIDANCE TO DRIVER AS TO DISTANCE FROM RIGHT SIDE BARRIER AND DIRECTIONAL ADJUSTMENTS UNTIL VEHICLE FINALLY REACHED AN EMERGENCY PULL OFF AREA. VEHICLE WAS PARKED UNTIL RAIN SUBSIDED TO THE POINT THAT VISIBILITY BECAME GOOD ENOUGH TO SAFELY CONTINUE AT A SLOWER BUT SAFE HIGHWAY SPEED. THIS WILL BE THE LAST GM VEHICLE I WILL EVER OWN . ONLY A MIRACLE PREVENTED THIS FROM BECOMING A MULTIPLE FATALITY MULTIPLE VEHICLE ACCIDENT. THIS WAS A WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE WITH ONLY 64.000 MILES. ONLY 2 DAYS EARLIER ON THE OUTBOUND LEG OF THIS SAME JOURNEY THE COIL ON THE #3 CYLINDER FAILED ON I80 IN RURAL PA. VEHICLE HAD TO BE NURSED ALONG ON 3 CYLINDERS FOR APPROX. 60 MILES UNTIL A CHEVROLET DEALER COULD BE REACHED WHO THANKFULLY WAS ABLE TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX THE PROBLEM. NEVER PREVIOUSLY HAVE I ENCOUNTERED A ROAD TRIP PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE I EVER OWNED. WE FEEL EXTREMELY BLESSED TO HAVE SURVIVED THIS TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE.

WHILE DRIVING ON I80 IN RURAL PA ENGINE STARTED MISSING INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN I EXITED THE ROAD TO INVESTIGATE THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO RUN VERY ROUGH AND THE INFORMATION CENTER WAS SHOWING A PROBLEM WITH STABILI-TRACK - WHICH MADE NO SENSE SINCE IT WAS SUMMER AND THE ROAD WAS DRY. AFTER VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF FOR AWHILE AND RESTARTED IT SEEMED TO RUN MORE SMOOTHLY. HOWEVER, AS I ACCELERATED BACK UP TO HIGHWAY SPEED THE MISFIRING RETURNED. WE CONTINUED TO LIMP ALONG AT A SLOWER SPEED WITH EMERGENCY FLASHERS OPERATING WHILE WE SEARCHED BY PHONE FOR THE NEAREST GM DEALER. AFTER SEVERAL DIFFERENT ATTEMPTS GM ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY A DEALER ABOUT 20 MILES AWAY. WE SUCCESSFULLY CONTACTED THEM AND REACHED THEIR LOCATION WHERE THEY WERE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AS A FAILED #3 CYLINDER COIL. A FIX WAS COMPLETED AND WE WERE ABLE TO RESUME OUR TRIP. I ESTIMATE WE DROVE ABOUT 60 MILES PRETTY MUCH IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHEE ON 3 CYLINDERS BEFORE BEING ABLE TO FIND HELP. TWO DAYS LATER ON THE RETURN LEG OF THIS SAME TRIP THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ALSO FAILED IN A SEVERE RAIN STORM WHILE IN A SEVERAL MILE CONSTRUCTION ZONE WITH NO BERM. ONLY A MIRACLE PREVENTED A MULTIPLE FATALITY MULTIPLE CAR ACCIDENT. THIS WAS A WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE WITH ONLY 64,000 MILES THAT HAD NEVER PREVIOUSLY HAD ANY SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPER TRANSMISSION FAILED CAUSING BOTH WIPERS TO STOP WHILE DRIVING DURING A RAINSTORM, NEARLY CAUSING A CRASH. THIS IS THE SAME PART BEING RECALLED ON 2013 MODELS, AND THE DEALER WOULD ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY

I BOUGHT A 2010 EQUINOX JAN9,2016 FROM VIC CANEVER IN FENTON MI FOR 10320 ON MAY26,2016 I JUST DROPPED OF MY SON AND GRANDSON AND WAS ON MY WAY HOME ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN MY TRANSMISSION ALL OF A SUDDEN WENT OUT AS I WAS DRIVING. I ALMOST GOT INTO A BAD WRECK AND COULD OF POSSIBLY LOSE MY LIFE. WHEN I FINALLY GOT ,Y VEHICLE TOWED AND INSPECTED AT BILL'S TRANSMISSION SHOP IN ROSEVILLE MI I WAS SHOWN THE COLOR OF MY TRANSMISSION FLUID WHICH WAS CHARCOAL BLACK AND THICK. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND MADE A COMPLAINT AND WAS CONTACTED BY MIKE AGNONE WHO'S THE SENIOR CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER AND BRANDON WHO'S THE USED CAR MANAGER. I WAS TOLD I'LL HAVE TO COME UP WITH 2500 TO GO TOWARDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. WHAT THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT I'M ON A SET INCOME AND DON'T HAVE NO MONEY. GENERAL MOTORS NEEDS TO RECALL ALL THE EQUINOX'S. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND FOUND NOTHING BUT BAD THINGS ABOUT THEM AND ALL YEARS.

WINDSHIELD TAKES UP TO HALF AN HOUR TO DEFROST WHEN FIRST STARTED IN COLD WEATHER. I HAVE TO MANUALLY WIPE OFF THE INSIDE WINDSHIELD A FEW TIMES SO THAT I CAN DRIVE TO WORK. WINDSHIELD WILL FOG UP WHILE DRIVING IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS, SUCH AS RAIN, ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS MORE THAN ONE PERSON IN THE VEHICLE, AND IT WILL TAKE TOO LONG TO DEFOG, LIMITING VISIBILITY. WHEN THE HEAT IS ON FOR LONG PERIODS, THE RADIO OVERHEATS AND STOPS WORKING PROPERLY. HEAT CONTINUES TO COME OUT OF THE VENTS EVEN WHEN IT IS TURNED OFF. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON MAY 21, 2016.

ENGINE LIGHT ON WITH 60000 MILES, TIMING CHAIN CODE, KNOWN ISSUE AND GM WANTED $4000.00 TO FIX. CHANGED ALL TIMING GEARS AND TENTIONERS IN DECEMBER OF 2017.

TAKATA RECALL. BUMPED A CURB (FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE) AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED (ON A REGULAR ROAD MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN) AND ALL AIRBAGS DEPLOYED EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE NO PASSENGERS. FRONT TIRE WAS RESTING AT CURB (DID NOT GO OVER CURB BECAUSE WAS NOT GOING FAST ENOUGH). ENDED UP WITH A BROKEN NOSE, STITCHES ON FOREHEAD, EYEBROW, TWO AREAS OF NOSE BECAUSE OF CUTS FROM AIRBAGS. ALSO EXTREMELY SWOLLEN HAND WITH FRACTURES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH LUMBAR SEAT SUPPORT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, A LOUD CRACKING NOISE WAS HEARD AND THE FRONT DRIVER LUMBAR SEAT SUPPORT FRACTURED. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO DRIVE WITH CAUTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,010.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECAME INOPERABLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIPER TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000. UPDATED 07/14/16*LJ

THE CAR SHUTS OFF BY ITS SELF CAN'T PICK UP SPEED I CAN BE AT A LIGHT AND THE CAR WILL JURK AND TRY TO PULL OF AND CAN GO NO MRS. THAN 15MH.

THE RADIO WILL NOT TURN ON WHEN I START THE VEHICLE. IT IS NOT UNTIL 10 MINUTES LATER THAT THE RADIO WILL FINALLY TURN ON AND WORK PROPERLY. THIS ALSO EFFECTS THE TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARD LIGHTS. I FEEL THAT WITH THE FACT THE TURN SIGNALS DO NOT WORK THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS STARTED IN MY DRIVEWAY.

WIPERS, STOPPED WORKING, WHILE DRIVING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE DEFROSTER BLEW COOL AIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V489000 (VISIBILITY). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 EQUINOX, WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THIS SINCE IT DISABLES THE AIRBAG SYSTEM? SINCE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN WHY HAS THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT?

I HAVE A 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX AND IN LATE MARCH WHILE DRIVING OUR YOUNG CHILDREN; OUR TRANSMISSION BLEW UP. WHEN I SAY BLEW UP, I MEAN IT LITERALLY EXPLODED AND MY HUSBAND STARTED TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WE WERE STRANDED AND HAD TO GET IT TOWED. WHEN WE BROUGHT IT INTO THE MECHANIC HE SAID HE WOULD DO WHAT HE COULD TO TRY TO "RE-BUILD" IT AND PERHAPS SAVE US SOME MONEY. ONCE HE OPENED THE HOOD; HE SAID HE COULD NOT BELIEVE HIS EYES AND SAID IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO SALVAGE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS TRANSMISSION AND WE PD.$4,000 TO GET THIS PART REPAIRED. HE MENTIONED HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT IN 30 YEARS. WHEN I WENT ONLINE I SAW SEVERAL DIFFERENT PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE FOR THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL TRANSMISSION. THEY, AND MYSELF HAVE SENT CONCERNED LETTERS TO GM, HOWEVER; GM WILL NOT HOLD ANY ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THIS ISSUE ALTHOUGH IT HAS HAPPENED TO SO MANY. I WOULD HOPE THE LARGE AMOUNT OF ONLINE REMARKS ARE ENOUGH SAFETY CONCERN TO WORK ON OPENING AN OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION TO GET A RECALL ON THIS. MY TRUCK CAN BE REPLACED; MY CHILDREN CANNOT. I DO NOT BELIEVE GM HAS ACTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL TRAFFIC AND MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT BY INITIATING A SAFETY RECALL. I FEEL AN OBLIGATION TO REACH OUT TO TRY TO HELP OTHERS WITH THE SAME SITUATION TO TRY TO PREVENT DANGEROUS ACCIDENTS AND SAVE LIVES THAT COULD BE TAKEN AS A RESULT TO THIS FAULTY TRANSMISSION EXPLOSION.

I HAVE TO REPLACE ONE OF THE TIRE HUBS ON MY CAR BECAUSE THE STABILIZABILITY TRACK IS MESSED UP. COSTING ME OVER $650. THE LIGHTS CAME ON ONE DAY TO GET IT SERVICED. THAT IS THE ONLY REASON I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG.
