2010 Chevrolet Equinox. Consumer writes in regards to front and rear rusted subframe. The consumer stated the front and rear subframe was completely rotted. The rocker arms on both sides were extremely rusted and soft. The bottom of the doors were also rotted. The manufacturer was notified.
The Chevrolet Equinox instrument panel top pad has a integrated compartment in the center. The compartment has a bright chrome latch for opening the compartment. The latch has a very reflective surface. When driving South East the sun reflected off the latch blinding the driver even with sunglasses. View of the road was lost and the seat had to be repositioned to move the drivers eyes from the reflection. Photograph is available.
In new Chevy vehicles there is a center storage compartment located above the center console. This is held down in place by a simple push button. The button however is problematic as in some trims it is a chrome feature. In sunny condition, the reflection from the chrome push button reflects into the driver's eyes. This could lead to possible dangerous driving conditions.
