Chevrolet Equinox Steering Safety Report | Nov 07, 2011
Reported on Nov 07, 2011
| BOUGHT THE EQUINOX NEW IN APRIL 11 FOR MY DAUGHTER. HAD IT ABOUT 6 +/- MONTHS AND STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT. IT WOULD LOOSE POWER ALL OF A SUDDEN AND ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND STEERING WOULD BECOME EXTEMELY HARD TO DO. HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY MANY TIMES SINCE THEN ALL FOR THE SAME REASONS. THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING AND LOOSES POWER. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR WITH NO ACCIDENTS. I AM HAVING TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN FOR THE SAME REASONS. NOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE USING A LOT OF OIL. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION ONCE, REPLACED ALOT OF FUSES AND WORKED ON THE ENGINE SEVERAL TIMES. THERE ARE STILL PROBLEMS. I THINK, GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT FIXING THIS VEHICLE AND ALL THE OTHERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET, THERE ARE A LOT OF OWNERS OUT THERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. NHTSA, HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES IT TAKE TO HAVE A RECALL DONE...? | |
