There's a leak by the rear fuse box. Moisture and water gets on the fuses. My sunroof and sunshade have stopped working. I noticed the Julian date on my sunroof motor falls with in the date range that it needs to be replaced cause it could be a faulty one.
When I gets an oil change days later my car start running slow saying decrease in power I was told air is getting in the filter and causes a freeze to decrease the power which is dangerous in traffic. This has been going on for the last two years. I-??m told thousands of equinoxes has been brought in for service with the same scenario. It started in January of 2023
Code P0299 Dash says engine power reduced, speed has been reduced, a long with power and gas consumption not good, smelling gas in oil, not sure if connected. Dealer says no recall but it is a design flaw from supercharger freezing up due to no protection from elements, out of pocket to fix design flaw $1100 not covered under warranty or recall
When washing the vehicle through a standard car wash (Mister) in Minnetonka, MN 55345. The vehicle takes on gallons of water. This seems completely inappropriate. A car built in 2018 should be able to be washed. Taking on gallons of water on all areas of the floor board is unacceptable and ultimately a quality concern for mold and rust longer term.
The sunroof has a major leak, flowing through the fuze box and filling up the spare tire well and soaking all the carpets. This could potentially create a very bad mold issue, which I am trying to avoid. I-??ve seen many others with this car have the same issue and nothing is being done to solve this. I am paying all this money for a car that is just going to rot from all this water, and possibly cause sickness with the mold. How is this not a recall?

The first half of the panoramic moon roof exploded as I was driving down the road. There are several article about this same issue happening to other GM vehicles however, it was never determined to be a recall. The vehicle has not been inspected. It is sitting in my garage waiting for a part to come in so a glass company can install a new one. There was no warning, the roof was not hit by anything, it just exploded as I was driving down a major highway.
Was driving down the road and had just hit about 50mph at 4k rpms when suddenly the car started shaking and the check engine light started flashing, i knew immediately it was just a misfire, HOWEVER then the car immediately locked up brakes on full blast and engine cut off. Almost caused a mass accident let alone launching all my stuff. Then i turned the car back on and it drove fine for 20 miles. Just before i got home i am starting to try and stop at a stop sign. Hit the brake and the brake went all the way in with no pressure. A car is coming my car wont stop and im laying on my horn. Car finally got brakes again and boom the car stopped. Got home and ran the codes and it was Abs, t/c, stability lignts all on, airbag system, stability trac, anti lock + braking system, engine and tranny on my chevy app all said -??service immediately-?? rear differential clutch control, electronic brake control module all showed up when i ran the code reader. Was extremely terrifying!! Im going into the dealership tomorrow to get it looked
I constantly get error messages When the ambient (outside) temperature exceeds 100 degrees. The lane keeping assist, the forward collision sensors, etc. When it gets below freezing, the forward collision sensors, the brake assist and the service indicators go bonkers.
I have a 2018 Chevrolet Equinox LT AWD that has trouble shifting gears when going uphill and the car sounds like it's struggling. Lately I've had a similar issue going downhill where the RPM meter shoots up and (I'm guessing) won't shift gear. Makes a horrible sound and feels like I'm breaking the car!! Any advice" Could it be a transmission fluid issue? Also, my driver's seat moves about, side to side, over bumps, etc. Any input on how to proceed to get this fixed" I have also had the following service lights pop up on my center display screen from time to time recently: service side detection system and service park assist system.
We were driving at night I had turned on the overhead cabin light and when I turned on the overhead cabin light so my wife could hand food to our are sun and behind us the At the same time that I push the button the sunshade started to go and so I let it go but then it got jammed and it started to crank so I pushed the button in it started to go and reverse and then it like Jim in it aint like you know the motor growing sound and like there's a big shatter we thought that it was the glass from the moon roof shuttering turned out it was just like the plastic piece it was like holding the shade in place and so And so then to get that repaired they had to take the roof off take the rails out to get to the little plastic piece to call that plastic piece an external trim fastener so if it was an internal fastener it would be covered if it was because it was a fascinary if it was because it was a fascinator if it was because it's trim I don't know what trim you have to pull a roof off and pull rails out to it to find but that is why they didn't call it cover
For about a month the Traction Control Light comes on, the Service Brakes Assist Light comes on, the Alternator Symbol comes on. Yesterday, Monday, November 22, 2021, the vehicle stopped while driving on the street and it required a jump to get it started again. It has been very slow when starting back when at the red/green light. Very sluggish to slow motion to get speed. The system was showing low oil percentage at 53% but oil was changed three months ago and is not due for change until January, 2022 at 47281 miles. Current mileage is 45740/50. Took car back to Art Moran last Friday to have system reset since it had not been done at the time of oil change. Please respond ASAP. My father is 80+ and he was very frightened when the car stopped on him.
The ac went out on the 2018 equinox and the dealership replaced and ac line citing it was the wrong line and a bolt from the fan shroud rubbed a hole in the line. I have the pictures the dealership took prior to repairs. the hose and we line it up with the bolt on the fan shroud and we do not see how the bolt would rub the hose. It has to be a factory defect.
Panoramic Sunroof buckled and shattered. (thank goodness we weren't driving it at the time). Police were notified as we weren't sure if it was vandalism but seeing the way the frame buckled and the glass concave it's a defect
When using the bluetooth/handsfree with my phone while driving or stationary, the radio unit with dial out a call, but when the person on the other end picks up that person can not hear me. The person will say hello several times before hanging up. This could be an issue if I had an accident and couldn't get ahold of someone to talk to immediately. The vehicle is outside of the bumper to bumper warranty 3 years/36000 miles.
Check enginge light keeps coming on. Code says dealer specific, went to go to dealer, light went off. Two weeks later, light comes back on for a few days, goes back off. Had the diesel system cleaned by dealer, light still comes on and off. Car has 42K miles, expertly maintained. Dealer wants $135 to diagnose the problem that their own documents say there is no solution for. On star diagnoses found nothing wrong with the vehicle and didn't even show the 'check engine light' as being on. Similar reports from others online involving the 1.6L diesel. No performance issues with the light on, but Chevrolet should be able to fix the issue - even if the car is out of warranty. A two year old car shouldn't be having random check engine light issues.
I bought a demo with 7,000 miles on it in May 2018. 41,000 the sunroof and shade stopped working. 42,500 check engine light came on for electrical issues. Chevy was no help because my warranty ended at 39,000.
1. on 31jan2018, I purchased a new Chevrolet Equinox premier from scenic Chevrolet in West union, South Carolina. 2. in mid-February 2018 on a 5-6 hour trip, traveling on interstate 95. My wife and I could not hear ourselves and could not converse as the noise was obnoxiously loud, a constant growl. We both developed headaches about 4 hours into the trip. 3. the Equinox was taken to vaden Chevrolet in savannah, ga with the complaint and information above. Vaden service personnel examined the vehicle and 'found nothing out of the ordinary'. 4. in March, 2018, I obtained a decibel(db) meter, for sound measurement. With this meter, I was able to measure sound exposure level(sel). 5. shortly thereafter, while on another road trip, again on interstate 95, I was able to measure the noise level. It fluctuated between 81 and 85 decibels, 'a' scale (dba). Niosh & osha would recommend limiting the 8 hour exposure to less than 85 dba. And require 6. with another trip to vaden, they examined the Equinox again using a frequency meter. My Equinox was driven in comparison to another analogous Equinox. Vaden informe them D me they both sounded the same and the frequency was quite similar. I was unable to convince that frequency had nothing to do with amplitude. I was told that is the way General Motors engineers designed the vehicle. 7. later in March 2018, I insulated the vehicle doors, front and rear fenders, and back hatch with sound proofing material at my expense. The decibel rating decreased to 78-82 decibels at 60mph on the interstate 95. My wife and I had to shout at each other to engage in conversation. 8. from the standpoint of hearing conversation, this vehicle is quite dismal. Vaden Chevrolet in conjunction with GMC has made no effort to remedy the situation. Please see attachment. Thank you. Respectfully, w.L.bohach lt.colonel usmc(ret)
Driving down the road the car started to smoke under the hood area and all I could smell was burned plastic. Pulled over and got out. Not even a minute later the car burst into flames.
