2014 Chevrolet Equinox Body & Structure Problems

CHEVY EQUINOX 2014 BLEW A REAR MAIN SEAL AT 88,610 MILES AFTER BEING TOLD IS EXCESSIVELY CONSUMES OIL. I HEARD A POP AND THE LOW PRESSURE INDICATOR APPEARED. NO INDICATOR WAS PRESENT TO SHOW I HAD LOW OIL AT THE TIME OF THE VEHICLE LEAK STARTING, SO I WAS LEFT STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF A HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS IN -10 DEGREE WEATHER. THIS WAS A "COMMON ISSUE" IN THESE MODELS AND I WAS TOLD I MUST PAY 1,800$ TO REPAIR IT AS THERE ARE NO RECALLS OUT ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. THE ENGINE COMPLETELY ATE MY OIL AND NEGLECTED TO INFORM THAT IT WAS DOING SO AND IT WAS LOW, RESULTING IN ME BEING STUCK IN MY CAR WITH NO HEAT.

DUE TO THE BUMPER BEINV SO LOW IT CONSTANTLY HANGS UP ONCU ON CURBS. 2 WEEKS AFTER OWNING MY 2014 EQUINOX I PARKED AND EENT TI TO A STORE. I HEARD NOTHING WHEN I PARKED BUT AS I BACKED UP I HEARD A SCRAPPING SOUND. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND THE BUMPER HAD BEEN STUCK ON THE CONCRETE PARKING BLOCK. BECAUSE THE WHOLE FRONT IS ONE PIECE IT HAD PULLED AWAY FROM THE LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS PIECE IS ATTACHED MAINLY BY LITTLE PLASTIC TEETH THAT FIT INTO LITTLE PLASTIC SQUARES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WOULD COST $400 TO REPLACE THE BUMPER BECAUSE THE LITTLE "TEETH" HAD BROKEN OFF. I COULD PUSH IT TOGETHER WITH VERY LITTLE EFFORT. IT REMINDED ME OF THE PLASTIC MODEL CARS I USED TO BUILD.

I PURCHASED A 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX IN SEPTEMBER 2015. IT HAD 10 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT RIGHT OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 1700 MILES ON IT BECAUSE IT'S PARKED IN THE GARAGE 90% OF THE TIME. IN NOVEMBER 2017 I OPENED THE VENT PART OF THE SUN ROOF AND HEARD A LOUD CRACK SOUND. WHEN I TRIED TO CLOSE IT, IT WOULDN'T CLOSE. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IT BROKE BECAUSE THERE WAS DIRT IN IT. IT COST ME $1,000 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE MECHANISM INCLUDING THE WINDOW BECAUSE THEY DON'T MAKE PARTS FOR IT. MY QUESTION TO THE DEALER AND CHEVY WAS 'HOW DOES DIRT GET INTO A SUNROOF THAT IS CLOSED ALL THE TIME? THE RESPONSE HAS BEEN I DON'T KNOW. NO ONE CAN EVEN TELL ME HOW TO MAINTAIN IT SO THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS EITHER A DEFECT WITH THE SUN ROOF OR IMPROPER INSTALLATION AT THE FACTORY. THE NEW SUN ROOF IS MADE TO BE MORE HEAVY DUTY BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT IN TWO YEARS I'LL HAVE TO REPLACE THIS ALSO. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON ASKED IF I DRIVE IT IN AREAS THAT THERE IS A LOT OF DUST. THE ANSWER WAS NO, BUT SHOULDN'T IT BE MADE TO KEEP DUST OUT? AFTER ALL, IT IS ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE CAR.

VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE SPACE, WHEN YOU PUT DOWN THE BACK SEAT, HAD TO BUY A SPACER WHICH WAS ONE HUNDRED AN THIRTY FOUR DOLLARS, I FEEL YOU SHOULD HAVE PROVIDE WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE DOGS, ONE GOT HIS LEG CAUGHT I WOULD LIKE A REFUND, SHOULD HAVE BEEN PART OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO NOT AIR FOR THE BACK SEAT VERY POOR DESIGN. YOU SENT ME A LETTER ON A 2006 CHEVY COBALT, HAVE NOT OWN FOR FOUR YEARS PLEASE CORRECT YOUR RECORDS, I HAVE 2014 CHEVY EQUINOX. *TR
