2015 Chevrolet Equinox Owner Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SUN SHINED INTO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND REFLECTED OFF THE CHROME FINISH ONTO THE FRONT CUP HOLDERS AND OBSCURED THE CONTACT'S VISION WHILE DRIVING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25.

MY 2015 EQUINOX HAS SPOTS ALL OVER THE REAR WINDSHIELD. I'VE BEEN TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS AND HAVE HAD NO SUCCESS. THE SPOTS APPEAR TO BE FADING SPOTS INSIDE THE WINDOW GLASS, CANNOT WIPE THEM OFF OR NO AMOUNT OF CLEANING WORKS. WHEN DRIVING IN CERTAIN LIGHT, THE SPOTS ARE VERY DISTRACTING AND CAUSE A VISUAL PTOBLEM. BOTH DEALERS MORE OR LESS SAID IT'S MY PROBLEM. MY CAR ONLY HAS 10,000 MILES AND I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY SOMEONE CAN'T HELP.

ON TWO (2) SEPARATE OCCASIONS MY VEHICLE HAS STOPPED DEAD IN THE ROADWAY WHILE DRIVING. I LOST ALL POWER STEERING, LIGHTS, RADIO ETC. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BOTH TIMES. THIS COULD BE DEADLY IF I AM ON A BUSY ROAD OR FREEWAY. I AM TERRIFIED FOR MY SAFETY, BUT ALSO FOR MY TWO YEAR OLD GRANDSON, FAMILY, FRIENDS AND ANYONE ELSE WHO COULD BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. MY VEHICLE WAS LEASED JANUARY 19, 2015. I AM WAY UNDER ON MY MILES (2600) AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED BY ME WITH ZERO DAMAGE ANYWHERE. MY VEHICLE WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP FROM JUNE 29, 2015 THE FIRST TIME THE ENGINE STOPPED WHILE DRIVING. THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE FRO 3 DAYS. AT THAT TIME I WAS ADVISED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT MINE WAS THE THIRD VEHICLE IN THE LAST WEEK WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON JULY 6TH AFTER THE SECOND TIME IT STOPPED DEAD IN THE ROADWAY. I WAS CALLED ON AUGUST 12, 2015 THAT THE VEHICLE WAS READY FOR PICK UP AND THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE DEPT. STATES THEY HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE FOR A MERE 58 MILES OVER THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS. THE SERVICE MANAGER SUGGESTS I BUY OUT MY LEASE AND JUST SELL IT TO SOMEONE ELSE. OF COURSE THIS IS NOT AN OPTION FOR ME.

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER LENS ALLOWS FOR AN EXCESSIVE GLARE THAT NOT ONLY PREVENTS THE DRIVER FROM BEING ABLE TO ADEQUATELY READ THE SETTINGS OF THE ANALOG GAUGES, BUT IS ALSO A NUISANCE AND A DISTRACTION ALLOWING THE GLARE FROM THE LENS/COVERS TO BLIND THE DRIVER'S VISION, IN ADDITION TO THE GLARE THAT COMES FROM THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER.

TRAVELING WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET TO 40 MPH ON A 2 LANE ROAD THE COLLISION ALERT WENT OFF, BEEPING AND THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED HARD ENOUGH TO FEEL THE STUTTER OF THE ANTI LOCK SYSTEM. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME, THE FIRST TIME NO CRUISE WAS BEING USED. I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GAIN CONTROL AGAIN. CAR IS CURRENTLY AT CHEVY DEALER BEING CHECKED. THERE WAS NO THREAT OR CARS IN FRONT OF ME. I AM NOW SCARED TO DRIVE WITH THE SAFETY FEATURES TURNED ON.

11/30/2015

DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35-40 MPH WITH NO VEHICLES IN SIGHT, NO OBSTACLES, ON A CLEAR DAY, THE FRONT COLLISION ALERT TURNED ON AND THE VEHICLE BRAKES WERE STRONGLY APPLIED. IT WAS EXTREMELY ROUGH AND FRIGHTENING FOR MY DAUGHTER AND I. THERE WAS NO EXPLANATION FOR IT. SINCE THEN, IT HAS HAPPENED SPORADICALLY, AT LEAST 5 MORE TIMES AT ANY GIVEN SPEED AND SAME CONDITIONS AS ABOVE. I HAVE SINCE TURNED OFF THE FEATURE (FORTUNATELY AN OPTION). IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN DRIVING BEHIND ME ANY OF THESE TIMES, THERE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN A REAR END COLLISION. I'VE TAKEN IT IN TO BE CHECKED OUT TO NO AVAIL. THERE ARE NO CODES, THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE IT, SO "THERE'S NO ISSUE" ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WITH 3768 MILES, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES IT MAY HAVE OCCURRED BEFORE THEN AND I AM AT 4984. THESE INCIDENTS HAVE ALL OCCURRED IN A 1 MONTH SPAN.

ON MAY 18, 2016, I WAS GOING APPROX. 10 MILES/HOUR ON DRY PAVEMENT, ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RH TURN WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE FOR APPROX. 5 SECONDS. SINCE I HAD BEGUN THE TURN BUT WAS UNABLE TO FINISH THE TURN, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE. IF THERE HAD BEEN A CAR IN THE ONCOMING LANE, I WOULD HAVE HIT IT. AFTER APPROX. 5 SECONDS, THE STEERING WHEEL UNLOCKED AND I WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE THE TURN AND GET THE VEHICLE BACK INTO THE PROPER LANE. TOOK VEHICLE INTO DEALER; DEALER INFORMED ME OF A MANUFACTURER SAFETY BULLETIN FOR LOSS OF POWER STEERING. DEALER RE-PROGRAMMED POWER STEERING, TEST DROVE AND INFORMED ME THAT IT HAD BEEN REPAIRED. WHEN I PICKED UP VEHICLE FROM DEALER, I WAS BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACE, LOST COMPLETE POWER STEERING; UNABLE TO GET VEHICLE BACK INTO PARKING SPOT. CURRENTLY VEHICLE IS AT DEALER. THIS VEHICLE HAS APPROX. 8K MILES. THIS IS THE 2ND MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. THE FIRST OCCURRED APPROX. 1 MONTH AGO. VEHICLE WAS MAKING LOUD KNOCKING NOISE. DEALER INFORMED ME THE FLY WHEEL WAS DAMAGED. GM TOLD DEALER TO REPLACE THE TORQUE CONVERTER. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

5/23/2016

ON 1/2/2017 I POSSIBLY TOTALED A 2015 CHEVY EQUINOX AND I WASN'T EVEN IN IT. I AM THE FIRE CHIEF IN MY TOWN AND RESPONDED TO A NON-RESPONSIVE INDIVIDUAL CALL. WHEN I ARRIVED I WAS APPARENTLY DISTRACTED BY THE CALL TYPE AND WHAT WE WERE GOING TO BE DOING NEXT AND LEFT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. IT WAS COLD SO I LEFT MY VEHICLE RUNNING. THE CAR SAT THERE FOR ABOUT 10 - 15 MINUTES IN DRIVE BUT NOT MOVING. I CAME OUT OF THE HOUSE TO MAKE A PHONE CALL, ONLY TO SEE MY VEHICLE START TO ROLL FORWARD AND THEN GAIN MOMENTUM AND TRAVEL INTO THE WOODS AND DOWN A RAVINE. WHAT IF THERE HAD NOT BEEN ANYTHING TO STOP IT. HOW FAR WOULD IT HAVE GONE? WHAT IF IT HAD BEEN IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA? WHAT IF IT HAD BEEN A MOTHER WHO GOT OUT FOR SOMETHING BUT LEFT HER KIDS IN THE CAR. THE TECHNOLOGY EXISTS TODAY ON MY RIDING LAWN MOWER THAT IF I AM NOT IN THE SEAT IT SHUTS OFF. SHOULD VEHICLES NOT HAVE THE SAME TECHNOLOGY TO KEEP THIS KIND OF ACCIDENT FROM HAPPENING? YES, I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE EXTRA SECOND TO MAKE SURE IT WAS IN PARK, YES I COULD HAVE SET THE EMERGENCY BRAKE (WHICH I DEFINITELY WILL IN THE FUTURE FOR ANY VEHICLE I LEAVE RUNNING). BUT HUMANS ARE NOT INFALLIBLE AS I FOUND OUT. IT WAS A SICKENING FEELING TO WATCH AND NOW I AM JUST HOPING IT DOES NOT HAVE SIGNIFICANT RAMIFICATIONS FOR MY EMPLOYMENT. MY INCIDENT IS PAST, BUT IF SOMETHING COULD BE DONE TO PREVENT A RECURRENCE FROM HAPPENING TO SOMEONE ELSE THEN I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I AM PART OF IT. *TR

EXTREME DESIGN FLAWS. REAR-SIDE/CORNER VIEW WINDOWS ARE TOO SMALL & LOCATION IS OF NO HELP VISUALLY. BACK SEAT HEAD RESTS ARE NON-REMOVABLE & BLOCK VIEW OF MERGING TRAFFIC. WE MUST FOLD DOWN BACK SEATS FOR SAFETY. RARELY DO WE CARRY BACK SEAT PASSENGERS; BACK SEAT HEAD RESTS SHOULD BE REMOVABLE.

DESIGN FLAW BETWEEN THE PEDALS AND THE SEAT HAVE CAUSED ME TO HAVE SCIATIC PAIN. I HAD THE CAR JUST SHORT OF 2 YEARS BECAUSE I COULDN'T TAKE THE PAIN ANYMORE. THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE PEDALS BOTH VERTICALLY AND HORIZONTALLY ARE A PROBLEM. I ONLY RELATED THE PROBLEM TO THE CAR WHEN I WAS NOT DRIVING THE CAR FOR A THREE WEEK PERIOD, MY PAIN WAS GONE. I STARTED DRIVING THE CAR AGAIN AND THE PAIN RETURNED. I TESTED IT AGAIN, BY RENTING A DIFFERENT VEHICLE FOR A 5 DAY PERIOD AND THE PAIN WENT AWAY AGAIN AND A DAY AFTER RESUMING DRIVING MY EQUINOX THE PAIN RETURNED. I TRADED THE CAR IN THIS PAST WEEKEND (20170225) SO I COULD LIVE MY LIFE PAIN FREE.

WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR A YEAR AGO AFTER ABOUT 4 MONTHS IN I STARTED TO NOTICE A NOISE EVERY TIME I TURNED LEFT. IT WAS A SMALL NOISE SO I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS AND THERE ARE NONE. NOW IT IS MORE NOTICABLE BUT THE CAR IS DRIVING FINE UNLESS I MAKE A LEFT TURN IT'S LIKE A SLIGHT CLICKING NOISE. HAS THERE BEEN ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING BECAUSE THE CAR SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS. I HAVE ONLY HAD IT A YEAR. OTHER THAN THIS ISSUE THE CAR RUNS GREAT.

7/4/2018

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE A YEAR AGO. A LITTLE OVER A MONTH AGO I NOTICED THAT DRIVING AT NIGHT IS DANGEROUS. IT USED TO LIGHT THE ROADWAY GREAT, NOW I CAN HARDLY SEE 2 CARS AHEAD OF ME. AND ON THE SIDES EVERYTHING IS DARK. I MADE NUMEROUS TRIPS TO DEALERSHIP WHO INSISTS IT IS WORKING OK AND NOTHING IS WRONG. THEY REFUSE DEAL WITH MY CAR. I ALSO CONTACTED GM ON THIS. ALSO I BROUGHT IT TO DEALERSHIPS ATTENTION THAT THE LIGHTS GO DIM WHEN STARTING. INSIDE AND OUT. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I'M NOT ALONE I HAVE READ NUMEROUS REPORTS ON PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD TO GET A SECOND OPINION FROM ANOTHER SOURCE. THE PROBLEM IS NOBODY WHATS TO WAIT AROUND UNTIL DARK TO SEE WHAT I'M NOT SEEING...THE ROAD ! I ASKED MY DEALSHIP I PURCHASED TOP PLEASE GO WITH ME, THEY GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND. GUY GAVE ME LITERALLY FIVE MINUTES., WAS NOT TOTALLY DARK, BUT HE DID SEE SOMETHING. OH YES THEY SAID THEY ADJUSTED LIGHTS, AND THEY SAID THEY CHANGED 1 LIGHT BULB IN EACH HEADLIGHT..AND SAID THEY ADJUSTED THEM., AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO SEE MY CAR BACK !! REAL PROFESSIONAL ! RIGHT ? NOTHING CHANGED. THAT IS WHY I TRULY BELIEVE THEY NEED TO BE RECALLED. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CANNOT FIX. SO I'M PAYING FOR A CAR THAT I CAN ONLY DRIVE AT NIGHT. I'M TRYING TO FIND A PLEASE . WHERE I AN TRUST TO BRING MY CAR. REALLY BAD. I HAVE A PAPER TRAIL ON MY VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP, DEFINATELY NOT TRUST WORTHY. YOU KNOW ITS BAD WHEN YOU HAVE THE MANAGER OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TELL ME HIS WIFE DRIVES WITH THE HIGH BEAMS, AND IT WAS OK.. I USED TO GET FLASHED WHEN MY LOW BEAMS WERE ON ! NOT NOW , I PUT MY HI BEAMS ON TO SEE THE REACTION FROM ONCOMING CARS...ALL TEN CARS THAT PASSED ME DID NOT FLASH THEIR LIGHTS TO TELL ME TO TURN OFF MY HIGH BEAMS. AN ASSOC. ASKED MY IF I WAS WEARN SUNGLASSES AT NITE! THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED MY CAR WAS AT ROBERT GREENS IN MONTICELLO NY.
