TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT MIST FROM THE HEATER BLEW INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND CREATED AN ABNORMAL ODOR. IN ADDITION, THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE MIST PREVENTED THE CONTACT FROM SEEING OUT OF THE WINDOWS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW WATER PUMP WAS NEEDED. THE MECHANIC FLUSHED OUT THE SYSTEM AND PLACED A NEW HEAT SYSTEM IN THE ENGINE WITH NEW ANTI-FREEZE. THE FAILURE RECURRED LATER THE SAME WEEK. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 167,000.

WEAK PLASTIC IN THE BLEND DOOR OF THE HVAC SYSTEM CAUSES DOOR TO BREAK AND GET STUCK IN THE "COLD" POSITION. NO HEAT IN SNOW AND FREEZING RAIN MEANS YOUR WINDSHIELD WILL NOT DEFROST AND VISIBILITY DROPS BECOMING HAZARDOUS IN POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS.

I AM NOT EXACTLY SURE WHAT IT IS THAT'S WRONG WITH MY CAR IT HAS TO DO WITH MY BRAKES AND THE PEDAL.. I THOUGHT THE BRAKE PADS WERE BAD. WHEN I CHANGED THEM IT HAD ALMOST BRAND NEW ONES ON.. MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STAYS ON AND MY ABS LIGHT STAYS ON.. THE PEDAL HAS HARD SPOTS IN IT AND IT JUST GRINDS LIKE THE PADS ARE BAD WHEN I HIT MY BRAKES! ITS NOT SAFE AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT! MY RESEARCH SHOWS I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS CAR THAT HAS THE PROBLEM. ITS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR A BIT NOW.. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR AND VERY DISAPPOINTED.. I HAVE 2 KIDS AND CAN'T EVEN FIX MY BRAKE PROBLEM BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO FIX AND CAN'T AFFORD TO TO REPLACE IT ALL.. THE PROBLEM IS MAINLY WHEN DRIVING SLOW THROUGH TOWNS THE BRAKES PEDAL LOCKS AND IT GRINDS AND I HAVE TO PUMP IT SEVERAL TIMES TO TRY AND GET IT TO WORK.. THEN I HAVE TO MY E BRAKE IF IT DON'T.. THANKS AN ANGRY CUSTOMER

WHILE TURNING ON THE CAR AND DRIVING THE TC, BRAKE LIGHT, ABS, ENGINE, AND AIR BAG LIGHTS TURN ON AND THE CAR TURNS OFF BUT CONTINUES TO DRIVE. AS YOU DRIVE IT CONTINUES TO RING THE BELLS AND TURN ON OF THE OFF AND ON INCLUDING THE RADIO. YOU CAN ALSO PULL THE KEY OUT AND IT CONTINUES TO DRIVE. ALL THIS ON HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS.

ONE WIPER BLADE QUIT FUNCTIONING AND CAUSES SEVERE DANGER TO THE DRIVER. HEATER QUIT WORKING CAUSING FOGGING ISSUES AND KEEPING MY KIDS & WIFE IN DANGER. APPARENTLY THESE ISSUES ARE VERY COMMON ACCORDING TO THE 2009 REPORT GM RECALLED 59,000 VEHICLES FOR THIS ISSUE BUT OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.
Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 12, 2018
THE GAS TANK IS LEAKING FUEL A FARE AMOUNT. IT BEGAN THIS SUMMER HERE IN MESA AZ. WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN JUNE OF 2017 AND HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH FUEL LEAKING UNTIL THIS SUMMER. NOW IT HAS BECOME A HAZARD AND FROM WHAT I CAN SEE, IT IS COMING FROM THE FUEL TANK. THE PROBLEM BEGAN IN LATE JULY AND I HAVE LEFT IT PARKED SINCE. IT HAS BECOME AN SERIOUS LEAK. BECAUSE THE FUEL EVAPORATES QUICKLY, I HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY PICTURES. IT DID MAKE A SIX INCH PUDDLE UNDER THE TANK HERE IN THE DRIVE WAY THE LAST TIME I MOVED THE CAR A FEW FEET FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER OF THE DRIVE. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT SINCE.

AS I WAS AT STOP LIGHT 3 DAYS AGO AND AT A LOW SPEED AND ABOUT TO STOP MY ABS BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATED WITHOUT ANY INDICATOR LIGHTS AND IN DOING SO IT RELEASED THE BRAKES EVEN THOUGH I WAS STILL PRESSING THEM. I AVOIDED HITTING THE CAR AHEAD OF BY SHOVING IT INTO PARK. IT DOES IT EVERY TIME I ATTEMPT TO STOP AND NOW HAVE TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKES TO ACTUALLY COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN ABS ACTIVATES AND RELEASES BRAKES. DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED I REPLACE MY FRONT BRAKES AND THEY TRIED TO SAY IT WAS ALSO THE TIRES. THEY WERE ABLE TO REPRODUCE IT BUT NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. THEY DID NOT LET ME KNOW IT WASN'T FIXED AND NEARLY ROLLED OUT ONTO A HEAVY TRAFFIC ROAD. I CALLED THEM AND INFORMED THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND ASKED WHY THEY LET ME DRIVE A UNSAFE VEHICLE BUT WHEN I ASKED THAT THEY REMOVE THE FUSE FOR THE ABS SYSTEM UNTIL I CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. THEY SAID THAT WAS UNSAFE AND NOT LEGAL FOR THEM TO REMOVE THE FUSE. I ASKED POHANKA CHEVY HOW IS THAT ANY MORE OR LESS UNSAFE THEN NO BRAKES TO STOP. IT IS THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM THAT IS FAILING FOR SOME REASON AND WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED TO FIX. POHANKA ONLY OFFERED A APOLOGY BUT WILL NOT FIX OR HELP AND I NOW HAVE A UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT COULD FAIL ME AND CAUSE ME TO HAVE A ACCIDENT. I SPENT $785.41 AND THEY DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO REPORTED THEM TO MY STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S CONSUMER DIVISION OFFICE. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 12 YEARS AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF IT. NEVER HAD THIS KIND OF PROBLEM UNTIL 3 DAYS AGO. DO A RECALL ON THIS ABS BRAKING SYSTEM!

THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING OR WHILE IN ANY OTHER POSITION. THERE WAS A RECALL ON OTHER MODELS FOR THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE, BUT NO RECALL WAS MADE FOR MY VEHICLE.
Service brakes, Aug 7, 2018
BRAKES LOCKING IN THE 20-35 MPH RANGE. LOCKS WHILE SLOWING DOWN AND VAN SMELLS VEHICLE GETTING HOT. HAVE TAKEN TO A FIRESTONE AND CHEVY DEALER AND COMPLETED ALL SUGGESTED REPAIRS, ALTHOUGH NO ONE WAS ABLE TO GIVE ME A DEFINITIVE REASON TO THE BRAKES LOCKING. REPAIRS DID NOT FIX BRAKE LOCKING ISSUE.

THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ON-STAR CODES ARE P0137 AND P0128. I HAVE 81,368 MILES/130948,843750 KM. I WAS DRIVING.
Service brakes, Jul 18, 2018, crash
AT A LOW SPEED BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT STOPPING. IT SEEMED AS IF THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGED. NO BRAKES AS MY CAR CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD AT THIS LOW SPEED EVENTUALLY REAR ENDING ANOTHER CAR AS MINE NEVER STOPPED. THE BRAKES HAD JUST BEEN REPLACED 2 YEARS PRIOR. I HAD THIS CAR CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS SAME INCONSISTENT BRAKE ISSUE BUT NOTHING WAS NEVER FOUND. AT TIMES THERE WOULD BE A GRINDING NOISE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AND MY FOOT WOULD JUST GO TO THE FLOOR WITH NO STOPPING. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT GM HAS NEVER ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE. I HAVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY OVER THE YEARS TO TRY AND ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND NO MECHANIC COULD EVER FIGURE IT OUT. NOW MY CAR IS TOTALED AND I HAVE AN INSURANCE BILL THAT IS NOT ONLY COSTLY BUT NOT FAIR. GM SEEMS TO HAVE TAKEN NO ACCOUNTABILITY AND I JUST HOPE NO ONE ENDS UP HURT. I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE IF I WAS TRYING TO STOP AT A CROSSWALK WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED. I WAS BORROWING MY GRANDFATHERS CAR AND FEEL TERRIBLE.

IN APRIL OF 2015 I PURCHASED A 2006 CHEVY EQUINOX FROM SID DILLION CHEVY DEALERSHIP. APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE IT RAINED AND WATER HAD LEAKED INTO DRIVER SIDE FLOOR BOARD. WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE IT STARTED BUT THERE WAS NO ACLERATION AND THE CAR WOULDN'T DRIVE WHEN PUT IN GEAR. I INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INSTRUCTED TO BRING THE VECHICAL BACK OUT THE DEALERSHIP TO BE LOOKED AT. IN FINDING THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS SUNROOF DRAIN THAT BACKUP AND LEAKED WATER INTO MY DRIVER SIDE FLOOR BOARD, ALSO LEAKING WATER ON TO THE THROTTLE SENSOR WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE GAS PEDAL. THEY INFORMED ME THAT DRAIN HAD BEEN BLOWN OUT AND THE ERROR CODE WAS RESET AND THE VECHICAL RAN AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW MONTHS LATER AND I WAS AGAIN INSTRUCTED TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THIS THE SAME PROCEDURE WAS DONE AS BEFORE AND I ASKED WHAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND WAS INFORMED THAT DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE SUNROOFS DRAIN, WHEN IT RAINS I WILL HAVE WATER THAT LEAKS INTO VECHICAL IF THERE IS LARGE AMOUNTS OF RAIN AND THAT BECAUSE THERE ARE NO BROKEN PARTS THE PROBLEM CAN NOT BE FIXED. I INFORMED CHEVROLET MAIN CENTER OF THE ISSUE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY RECALLS ON THE VECHICAL AND TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED. I'VE TAKEN PREVENTIVE MEASURES BUT KEEPING THE DRIAN CLEARED AND WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENS RESETTING THE ERROR CODES, BUT LAST WEEK 06-07-18 I HAD THE LINE CLEARED AND THE FOLLOWING DAY IT RAINED AND THE THROTTLE SENSOR ERRORED RESET THE CODE AND VECHICAL RAN. YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING I GOT CAUGHT IN HEAVY RAINFALL THE VECHICAL COMPLETELY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A 4 LANE BUSY ROAD AND WOULD NOT MOVE, WATER BEGAN LEAKING INTO THE DRIVER SIDE AND ALSO FROM THE PEDAL AND INTIOR LIGHTS. I'M VERY FEARFUL OF DRIVING THE VECHICAL. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE.

1. MY ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COME ON ALMOST EVERYTIME I DRIVE THE CAR. MOST OF THE TIME THEY COME ON FOR NO REASON, JUST DRIVING ON SMOOTH/GOOD ROAD CONDITIONS THEY COME ON OR PULLING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY. 2. DOESN'T MATTER IF THE ABS LIGHT IS ON OR OFF, I'VE HAD TO SMASH DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL NUMEROUS TIMES SO I DON'T HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE THE BREAKS FEEL LIKE THEY AREN'T GRABBING. LUCKILY MY DAUGHTER WASN'T IN THE CAR ANY OF THE TIMES IT'S HAPPENED. I HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT BY A TECHNICIAN AT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND HE FOUND NO ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES. 3. THE FRONT END OF THIS VEHICLE IS HORRIBLE. I'VE REPLACED THE FRONT HUBS RECENTLY, AND THAT DID NO GOOD WITH EITHER OF THESE ISSUES. 3. I WAS GOING THROUGH A DRIVE THRU, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE E-BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, LOUD SOUND CAME OUT OF SPEAKERS WHEN I TURNED THE WHEEL, AND A NUMBER OF LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON. LUCKILY GOT OUT OF THE DRIVE THRU, AND SHUT THE CAR OFF, AND IT WOULDN'T TURN BACK ON. IT JUMPED STARTED BUT WE FIGURED OUT THAT THE WIRE FROM THE STARTED TO THE ALTERNATOR WAS LOOSE AND CAUSING IT TO NOT CHARGE THE BATTERY. WE TIGHTENED IT DOWN AND IT FIXED THAT PROBLEM. 4. I GOT INTO MY CAR, STARTED IT UP, AND WENT TO REVERSE AND THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. I PULLED BACK INTO THE SPOT AND TURNED OFF THE CAR & THEN BACK ON & IT CAME BACK. MY HUSBAND WAS JUST DRIVING THE CAR BEFORE ME AND HE HAD NO ISSUES. I HOPE THERE IS SOMETHING RECALLED ON THIS CAR. I'VE SEEN SO MANY PEOPLE WITH THESE SAME TYPE OF COMPLAINTS. IT'S DANGEROUS!!!

ANY TIME THERE IS RAIN OR GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH MY CAR HAS A LEAK OF WATER THAT COLLECTS IN MY FLOORBOARD. I HAVE READ A MILLION REVIEWS ONLINE AT CHEVROLETFORUM.COM AND NUMEROUS YOUTUBE VIDEOS DOCUMENTING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE MAKE AND MODEL. IF GM PLANS ON CHARGING FOR AN UPGRADE LIKE A SUNROOF THEN IT SHOULD PROPERLY WORK. THE REASON FOR CONCERN ON THIS, THE WATER LEAKS THROUGH THE DASH AND EVEN SOMETIMES COLLECTS IN THE LIGHT FIXTURES OF THE ROOF. WITH STANDING WATER ON THE FLOOR BOARDS I HAVE A HUGE CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY FROM BEING ELECTROCUTED OR BEING E POSED TO ANY TYPE OF MOLD CAUSED FROM THE WET CARPET. THERE ARE APPARENTLY ISSUES WITH SEVERAL SEALS WHEN IT COMES TO THIS MODEL AND I FEEL IT HAS BEEN OVERLY DOCUMENTED THAT IS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. NOT TO MENTION OF DRIVING IN RAIN WHICH IS SOMETIMES INEVITABLE, YOU WILL BE DRIVING IN YOUR OWN MONSOON. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THE ARE REFUSING TO STATE THAT THEIR IS ANY SAFETY CONCERN. HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT DRIVING MY VECHICLE, I AM. I HAVE EVEN PERSONALLY EMAILED CHEVROLET ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY ARE STATING SINCE THERE IS NO ACTIVE RECALL OPENED THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A DESIGN, HARDWARE MALFUNCTION. NOT SOMETHING CAUSE BY WEAR AND TEAR, LIKE TIRES OR BRAKES. THIS LEAK HAS ALSO BEEN KNOW TO START CAUSING ELECTRICAL ISSUES FROM POWER LINES BEING SATURATED IN STANDING WATER. MY CAR STARTS MAKING A CLICKING NOISE AND THE POWER WILL FLUCTUATE BECAUSE OF WATER LEAKING INSIDE CABIN AND UNDERNEATH DASH WHERE POWER CABLES ARE EXPOSED. THIS HAS CAUSED MY CAR TO STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY PREVIOUSLY.

MY HEATER ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. WHEN MY WINDSHIELD HAS A LAYER OF FROST OR SNOW ON IT, I HAVE NO ABILITY TO CLEAR IT BY WAY OF UTILIZING MY DEFROST. I DRIVE WITH ALL OF MY WINDOWS DOWN AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS MOVING CONSTANTLY IN ATTEMPTS TO SEE. CHEVY IS AWARE THAT THEY MADE A PART THAT IS DEFECTIVE. THEY EXTENDED A WARRANTY ON A CHEAP PLASTIC PART THAT TENDS TO BREAK AT 60,000 THAT WAS COVERED UNTIL 2016 OR 120,000 MILES. I HOWEVER DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES UNTIL OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY. I DON'T SCAN RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE IF I'M NOT EXPERIENCING ISSUES AT THE TIME. MY CHEAP DEFECTIVE PART BROKE WHEN UNDER 58,000 MILES AND UNFORTUNATELY IN 2017. CHEVY HIDES BEHIND THIS AND IS NOT WILLING TO FIX A DEFECTIVE PART AND ULTIMATELY DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURING. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT CHEVY DOES NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR AND IS ULTIMATELY A SAFETY ISSUE. CHEVY NEEDS TO PAY FOR IT TO BE FIXED-PERIOD.

3.4L GM POWER PLANT USED IN UNTOLD AMOUNTS OF VEHICLES BLOWING HEAD GASKETS, AND INTAKE GASKETS SINCE 1996. I DESIGN FLAW THAT WAS NEVER ADDRESSED. THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THAT. WE CANT KEEP ALLOWING COMPANIES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HARD WORKING PEOPLE BUY SELLING THEM JUNK. ALL OF THEM NEED TO BE HELD TO A HIGHER STANDARD.

BROUGHT VEHICLE IN DUE TO NO HEAT - THEY INFORMED ME THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THE 200 EQUINOX FOR THE HEATER CORE - AT THIS POINT I AM OUTSIDE THE 10 YR AND THE 120000 MILE WARRANTIES FOR THE RECALL. I BELIEVE IF THERE IS A RECALL IT SHOULD BE HONORED AT ANY TIME THE SITUATION ARISES IF NO FORMER KNOWLEDGE IS KNOWN OF THE SITUATION.
