This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the tire pressure monitor warning light and the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed and determined that the thermostat, and head gasket needed to be replaced. Additionally, there were other mechanical issues with the front and rear brake pads, rotors, calipers, drive belt, and the lower control arms. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 107,000.
Vehicle is stalling when stopping and starting to go. Service engine light came on had it it scanned, found it to be the camshaft position sensor. Called my local dealer as to find out if there is any recall on this, and they said that there is not. I believe there should be a recall on this part as is it is a safety issue, as stated the vehicle was stalling and you lose all power. When starting to pull out in traffic you will be left with no power as the engine stalls and you have to put the vehicle in neutral and restart it.
The brake system is locking up different wheels because the module thinks traction has been lost. This caused my daughter to spin around and go off the road. The part is on back order through gm - I have tried to obtain one from other sources with no luck - all the parts places I spoke to have been waiting on these for months which tells me there is a lot of cars affected.
While driving at the speed of 45mph-?? the vehicle suddenly started increasing acceleration to 62 mph-??-??attempts to apply brakes failed-??. Was unable to stop acceleration Brake pedal was pressed all the way to the floor an car was slammed into PARK-??
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to downshift and upshift. In addition, while the brake pedal was depressed, the vehicle delayed to stop extending the braking distance. The vehicle was taken to tucker Chevrolet located at (1340 us-1, waldoboro, me 04572) where it was diagnosed that the shifter knob needed to be replaced, the transmission control module needed to be reset, and the transmission fluid needed to be flushed. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,460.
Had my Equinox for couple years without any problems. Just recently ABS light came on along with traction control. SUV slides to the side when applying breaks. A month before this started engine light kept turning on and off. Didn't stay long enough to see whats wrong. Gas gauge does not show correct amount of fuel 1 out of 5 days.
Have had the car less than a year. Had it in the service shop 4-6 times for noisy breaks and squeal in the front coming from engine. Every time you put on the breaks it makes an awful noise. When you turn the car completely off it squeals from the engine. The service manager stated 'it's supposed to sound like that'
My 2015 Chevrolet Equinox has developed a spongey brake pedal, the car does stop but the pedal is spongey. Is it possible that GM has a bigger problem with vehicles that are covered under existing recall?
This and all other GM vehicles have faulty anti lock brakes that do not function correct on snow or ice. What should be a normal stop in a normal distance turns into the brakes going into anti lock if even one wheel looses traction. This extends stopping distance by about 5 times what it would be without anti lock brakes. Yesterday again I almost hit another vehicle when I when through an intersection. I was not going that fast and what should have been an easy stop the brakes went into anti lock and the car looses about 90% of it's stopping ability. I am not the only one to know GM car brakes become useless on snow and ice. Their is no reason anti lock brake even need to function at speeds of say under 30 mph and should function at a different pulse rate in temperatures under 32 degrees.
I just purchased a used 2015 Chevrolet Equinox from rick hendricks Chevy duluth. Since I have purchased this vehicle, I noticed loud noises coming from the brakes when applying pressure to stop the vehicle. Not only that, but while driving it makes a knocking sound. I was told by one of there mechanics in the service department that it was ok! the Equinox is known to make a little noise while driving. It has been to there shop over 3 times for several days at a time in less than a month and still the problem continues. They explained everything they fixed to make sure that the noise was gone and the brakes were in good working condition. When I asked for proof they were unable to provide it. I am not a mechanic but I do not believe for one minute this vehicle should be making any noise at all let alone noises when you apply pressure to the brakes. I have reiterated over and over again to rick hendricks Chevy duluth that there is a brake issue going on with the vehicle that could possibly be deadly and I was told there is nothing they can do. I try to limit the amount of driving I do to important places only seeing as the noise is still there.
False alarms have occurred 5 times from the forward crash alert system. The display flashes and sound several high-pitched beeps. Also one can feel slight braking and when using cruse control it disengages. Has occurred at 70 mpg on highway (twice) and at 35 on city street (3 times) while no vehicles were in range to show a green or red vehicle on dash.
Traveling with cruise control set to 40 mph on a 2 lane road the collision alert went off, beeping and the brakes were applied hard enough to feel the stutter of the anti lock system. This was the second time, the first time no cruise was being used. I had to apply the brake pedal to gain control again. Car is currently at Chevy dealer being checked. There was no threat or cars in front of me. I am now scared to drive with the safety features turned on.
My wife was driving our 2015 Chevy Equinoxs down a 4 lane highway in town when all of a sudden the anti collision warning light came on and bells went off and the front brakes locked up for no reason we bought the car 2 months ago and it has 7,000 miles on it the car is currently at the Chevy dealers here in town bei8ng looked at.
Driving at approximately 35-40 mph with no vehicles in sight, no obstacles, on a clear day, the front collision alert turned on and the vehicle brakes were strongly applied. It was extremely rough and frightening for my daughter and I. there was no explanation for it. Since then, it has happened sporadically, at least 5 more times at any given speed and same conditions as above. I have since turned off the feature (fortunately an option). If someone had been driving behind me any of these times, there could have easily been a rear end collision. I've taken it in to be checked out to no avail. There are no codes, they can't duplicate it, so "there's no issue" according to the service department. I bought the vehicle with 3768 miles, so I don't know how many times it may have occurred before then and I am at 4984. These incidents have all occurred in a 1 month span.
