My car started itself when the key was in my pocket and i was at the rear of the car unloading. I do not have a keyless entry or starting feature on my car. I was parked at our community garden and my daughter and i were unloading garden tools, so we were touching the car and felt it when it fired up. It was an underwear changing moment.

Bought a used chevy equinox and the manifold cracked, costly repair that i was informed seems to be a recurring safety issue being addressed 10 plus times a month by this center alone. As this seems to be a frequent and known defect that can cause death if not found and fixed i believe that chevy should acknowledge the safety concern and issue a recall rather than waiting to see people pass away because they can't…

My 2010 chevrolet equinox is burning oil very fast. I have had a mechanic at my work check the oil level every thursday for the last month and add approximately 1.5 litres every thursday. My co-worker had the same issue with her equinox and it was a recall. Her oil was going into her fuel. This is clearly an issue that seems to be reoccurring. Before realizing that the oil was an issue, my car would automatically…

I filed a complaint 4 days ago #11182292. I've contacted gm and they have no recall on my specific vehicle. There was a recall #090298 done for the exact problem i'm experiencing. Neither the dealer nor gm seems willing to include my car in this recall. I'm a senior citizen living on a fixed income. I'm taking the car to the dealer for diagnosis today. I'm asking for help paying for this if it is diagnosed with the…

The climate control system intermittently blows either high heat or no heat at all. I found a safety recall # 090298 for this specific problem and called my dealer. They have no recall for this and won't fix it for no cost unless they can find a recall! If you need more information please advise. Thank you in advance for your assistance. This happens of course when in motion no matter what type of street or highway…

A year after i purchased my used equinox my water pump went out. While at the dealership they realize that my opinions have been worn and my timing chain needed to be replaced. Less than 6 months after my engine light popped on.. This car has been unreliable almost the whole time i've owned it. Last march i replace the timing chain again. After much research i realize that my timing chain keeps getting destroyed…

The vehicle is showing symptoms of the exact same issue as before where defroster is no longer working because of controls not functioning. Radio is also out along with possible other unknown electrical issues. We've turn the car on and off several times hoping it was just a glitch, however…

The heat and air will not work for long and short periods of time. There is a ticking sound, but the heat or air won't work. Periodically the screen of the radio will go off and remain that way until the heat or air decides to work again. It's hard to drive in the rain, and i will have to roll the windows down to clear the fog from the windshield. This has happened over the course of a year.

Exhaust manifold cover issue -the car made a loud noise when i start the car. I took it to an auto repair place when noise was unbearable and found that the exhaust manifold cover was cracked and that was causing toxic air pushed back into the car when i turn on a/c or heat which is hazardous to the occupants health. So i needed to get it fixed asap. I googled to see if there is any recall or warranty extension on…

While driving the engine speeds up but the car will not move almost like it is out of gear..it revs and then will be ok and back to normal speed and i was on a surface street. No one was behind me.luck for me. At times makes a high pitched sound while this is happening. The nearest dealer is not 20 miles from my home. I am afraid to drive this vehicle.
