I have had the 2013 Chevy Captiva sport for almost 6 months. After I have been driving for about 30 minutes and stop at a red light/stop sign. It either shuts off or begins to shake forward and backward. It does not matter if I am in a little town, highway, interstate, etc., it does the same thing. My wiper warning light and sound along with my battery light, and random indicator lights and sounds go off randomly. The only accurate lights are the seatbelt and door ajar indicator lights. When the heater or ac is on the vehicle shakes more. When my battery light is on, I cannot turn my high beams on. The eco system does not work at all. The key gets stuck when it wants too. No specific time of day or time traveled. The steering wheel gets stuck randomly when I make a sharp turn. The turning signal has its frequent moment when it will not turn off. This is a very dangerous road hazard for other drivers. Most of these defects occur twice a week.

Captiva

While driving my vehicle on the highway while it was raining I heard a noise and my passenger side wiper stopped working. This sounds like a problem that was involved on 2013 equinox (Captiva probably uses many of the same components). NHTSA campaign number 16V582000 - GM's recall number for this is 25302. Luckily the driver side wiper continued to operate properly. This is definitely a safety hazard and should be covered by GM and if the repair has already been made, should be reimbursed by GM. I am presently working on getting the problem fixed. I also experienced as many others have (lots of complaints online) about an oil problem with the ecotec 2.4 engine. Like many others who experienced stalling problems, when I took my vehicle to my mechanic they found out I was out of oil. (09/21/2018) now I am constantly checking the oil level in my vehicle. This is also a major problem that relates to safety and by viewing the many complaints on line, it seems as though GM has no intention of doing anything about it. Present mileage on vehicle is 78,000. It's a nice vehicle, but these serious problems need to be dealt with by the manufacturer.
