Electrical system, ignitionJul 5, 2016
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Buick Verano and 2016 Chevrolet Malibu as the electronic park lock lever may allow the ignition key to be removed without the transmission being in PARK. Also, certain 2013 Buick Encore, 2011 Buick Regal, 2013-2014 Buick Verano, 2011-2016 Chevrolet Cruze, 2010-2013 Chevrolet Equinox 2013-2015 Chevrolet Malibu, and 2011-2013 GMC Terrain vehicles may have been serviced with similar defective replacement electronic park lock levers. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention."
If the key is removed without the transmission in PARK, the vehicle may rollaway as occupants are exiting, increasing the risk of injury.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and if necessary replace the key cylinder lock housing, free of charge. The recall began on October 14, 2016. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, Buick 1-800-521-7300, and GMC 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 50490 and 50491.

In the affected vehicles, the bolt that secures the driver's and passenger's power front seat height adjuster may fall out causing the seat to drop suddenly to the lowest vertical position.

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, PULLED ONTO A STREET AND PUT THE CAR INTO PARK. ATTEMPTED AGAIN AND THE CAR SLOWLY DROVE. ANOTHER INCIDENT, MY SON WAS DRIVING AND HE SAID IT JUST "WOULDN'T DRIVE", LUCKILY HE WAS NEAR A RELATIVES HOUSE AND PULLED INTO THE DRIVE. HE ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE CAR AND PUT IT INTO REVERSE AND IT WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. THE CAR IS NOW AT A CHEVY DEALER. NOW THIS MAY NOT BE DEEMED A "SAFETY ISSUE", BUT WHAT IS THE ISSUE, THE CAR ONLY HAS 65,000 AND WE ARE BEING TOLD BY CHEVY THAT THE CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. AT WHAT POINT CAN A NON-SAFETY ISSUE BE DEEMED A RECALL. APPARENTLY THERE IS A BULLETIN REGARDING THE CHEVY EQUINOX 2010, MANY MANY COMPLAINTS, AND CHEVY WILL NOT REPAIR THEM. WHAT CAN BE DONE?
Power train, May 20, 2018
MY TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING HARD LAST WEEK & I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE TOLD MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME I CAN DRIVE IT UNTIL THAT HAPPENS BUT I MAY LOOSE POWER & THE VEHICLE MAY STALL OR COMPLETELY DIE WHILE I'M DRIVING. I WAS TOLD IF THAT HAPPENS TO RE-START THE VEHICLE AND I SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE OFF AGAIN. THIS IS SCARY TO SAY THE LEAST & I'VE FOUND SEVERAL HUNDRED OTHER CONSUMERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUES. MANY OF THEM HAVE HAD FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED BUT ARE EXPERIENCING RE-OCCURRING FAILURE DUE TO WHAT'S BELIEVED TO BE DEFECTIVE PARTS BEING USED BY CHEVY/GM. SEVERAL CONSUMERS DIDN'T HAVE ANY INDICATION THE TRANSMISSIONS WERE FAILING & IT DID HAPPEN WHILE THEY WERE DRIVING PUTTING THEM @ RISK & CREATING DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. I WAS QUOTED $4560 FOR THIS REPAIR BUT WITH NO GUARANTEE A NEW TRANSMISSION WILL NOT GO OUT THE SAME WAY THIS ONE IS. THE PROBLEMS I'VE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE HAVE ALL MADE ME AFRAID TO DRIVE IT B/C I DON'T FEEL SAFE BUT THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST WORRISOME. CAN YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS & HELP US? WE REALLY NEED TO KNOW IF THE "NEW TRANSMISSIONS" WILL BE A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. GM SEEMS TO BE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT REMARKS THE GOVERNMENT HAS TO ISSUE RECALLS. THANK YOU!

THE CAR ONLY HAS 116,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 2 AIR COMPRESSORS ON THE CAR. THE CAR HAS ALSO DID AN AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN ON ME. I HAVE HAD TO TOW THIS CAR 4 TIMES.

I HAVE A 2010 CHEVROLET EQUINOX AND ON JULY 21ST, 2017 IT WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I'VE SEEN THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING. NO 3RD GEAR/NO REVERSE. IT SAYS IT HAS A WAVE PLATE THAT OFTEN BREAKS AND SHOOTS SHATTERED PIECES INTO THE TRANSMISSION, ALL WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR SUSPICION THAT ANYTHING COULD BE WRONG. I CALLED THE FINANCE COMPANY WHICH THEN L THEN LED ME TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TELLING ME THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR INFORMATION ABOUT ANYTHING. IT IS NOW OCTOBER 3RD, 2017 AND MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE SAME PARKING SPACE (CANNOT REVERSE TO GET OUT OF PARKING SPOT) WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS. I URGE ANYONE WHO EXPERIENCES ANY PROBLEM TO REPORT IT. I NEED HELP AND I NEED IT ASAP!!!

BEGINNING AROUND 30,000 MILES I BEGAN EXPERIENCING A CLUNKING SOUND AND JERKING WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS BECAUSE I WAS ALWAYS DRIVING IN ECO MODE. EVEN OUT OF ECO MODE I STILL EXPERIENCED THE CLUNK/JERK. ONCE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT I WAS UNABLE TO TAKE IT IN AND PAY THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO BE TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG. RECENTLY I NOTICED MORE SLIPPING ESPECIALLY WHEN ACCELERATING TO ENTER TRAFFIC ON BUSY INTERSTATE CAUSING HESITATION AND DANGER WHEN TRYING TO MERGE AT HIGH SPEEDS. AFTER GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY AND CRAWLING HOME, I PARKED THE VEHICLE WITHOUT INCIDENT. AFTER PARKING UPON TRYING TO SHIFT INTO GEAR IT REFUSED TO SHIFT AT ALL. TOWED TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WAS OUT, HAD TOWED TO GM DEALERSHIP. BATTLING GM NOW TRYING TO GET ASSISTANCE WITH REPLACEMENT SINCE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND IT WAS ACTING UP BEFORE WARRANTY EXPIRED. GM SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR NOT FIXING THIS COMMON PROBLEM

LET ME START OFF BY SAYING THAT I AM ONE OF MANY HAVING THE SAME TROUBLE WITH MY 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX. ON JAN. 21, 2015 I WAS HIT BY A YOUNG DRIVER TOTALING MY 2002 S10 CREW CAB. I FEEL THIS TRUCK SAVED MY LIFE. IN NEED OF A SAFE VEHICLE I FOUND MYSELF AT BOWMAN CHEVROLET PURCHASING A CERTIFIED 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX WITH LESS THAN 41000 MILES. AT THAT TIME I RECEIVED 24 MONTHS OF OIL CHANGES/ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PLUS ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE AND BUMPER TO BUMPER FOR 12MONTHS. THIS VEHICLE SEEMED GREAT TILL MY FIRST OIL CHANGE AND MAINTENANCE. IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE SERVICED. I APPARENTLY BOUGHT A CANADIAN VEHICLE. CALLED BOWMAN ABOUT THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT BACK TO THEM ( OVER AN HR FROM HOME) AT THIS TIME I MENTIONED A FEW THINGS I FELT WERE ISSUES (MY CAR WOULD RUN ON AFTER SHUT OFF, WOULD ROLL BACKWARDS IN DRIVE AND SHIFTING WOULD PAUSE BETWEEN GEARS). ABOUT A MONTH LATER I GOT MY CAR BACK, NEW DASHBOARD WITH A FEW SCRATCHES AND A GOOD CHIP IN THE WINDSHIELD. WASN'T HAPPY BUT THEY SAID ALL WAS GOOD. UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I HAD TO TAKE IT IN, STILL HAVING RUN ONS WHEN I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND SHIFTING PROBLEMS ALONG WITH A FEW MINOR THINGS( I WAS TOLD WAS NOT COVERED BUT SHOULD HAVE BEEN STILL UNDER WHAT I WAS PROMISED BY THE 12 MONTHS BUMPER TO BUMPER) OVER THE NEXT 21 MONTHS OF MY WARRANTIES I CONTINUED TO HAVE MANY ISSUES WITH MY CAR. NEVER FULLY FIXED EACH TIME I TOOK IT IN AND BEING TOLD MANY TIMES THEY WONT DO THE RECALLS BECAUSE ITS ON A CANADIAN CAR NOT MY NOW AMERICAN CAR. ON JULY 13, 2017 DRIVING ON 96 IN CONSTRUCTION AND RUSH HR TRAFFIC WITH MY GRANDSON THE TRANSMISSION WAS LOSING GEARS AT ONE POINT THE CAR STOPPED ABRUPTLY. WE BARELY MADE IT HOME! DROVE IT TO DEALER NEXT MORNING ONLY HAD 1ST GEAR. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. HELP US ALL!
