Check engine light came on. Took to dealership yesterday. Found that rodents had eaten through wire to oxygen sensor causing it to arch. Told us this was the second vehicle they had repaired with this damage yesterday. Suspicion that non-petroleum based wire causing rodents to eat wires. Arching can cause fires. We are senior citizens on fixed income. Had bought extended warranty to protect us from unexpected…

Windshield wipers - front, completely stopped working. Dealership said and replaced wiper module, 84241847:sl-n (10150-ct). This was in a recall for the equinox. Dealership said our car was not recalled. Also, car was produced in their canadian plant where they were having issues with same. Found it ironic and extremely dangerous and expressed that to gm when customer service called & offered $100.

Sunroof problems, i was driving down the interstate. It was a nice day about 73 degrees with nobody around the vehicle and suddenly i heard a loud noise (sounded like a shotgun going off). I investigated by opening the sunroof sunshade and could see the sunroof had shattered upwards. I continued about a mile and exited off interstate and looked at the sunroof from the outside of the equinox and you could hear it…

I own an 2015 equinox lt which i purchased specifically to tow behind a motorhome. We pulled fuse 32 according to the manual (an extra 12-v outlet is required to be installed because the law requires us to have additional braking in the towed). My braking system requires a 12-v outlet and fuse 32 kills the factory installed outlet. 4 times in my travels, my towed has started thrashing about (wobbling) after hitting…

During a down pour, my windshield wipers failed. They just stopped working while i was driving on a 2 lane highway next to a 18-where truck! I immediately lost all visibility and was unable to see. The wipers never started back up and i had to take my car to the shop. The dealership informed me that gm has a recall on 2013 model (wipers/motor) but no others. This is despite the fact that they use the same part…

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…

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.

I had samples of the flakes analyzed by analytics corp. Of ashland, va and the tests showed a plethora of elements to include ones that are considered toxic. I put a…

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.

The car was in park & i was sitting in it on the top of my driveway. I was about to open the door when it started to roll backwards while still in park. It started to pick up speed & did not stop until it hit a tree. I was so shocked by what was happening & the fact that i live on the river even though nearly 900 feet away all i could think of was it was going to roll straight in the river. I jumped out of the car &…
