| 2005 | AIR BAGS | IT WAS RAINING, TRAFFIC AHEAD WAS COMING TO A STOP AS I WAS BRAKING TO A COMPLETE STOP MY 2005 EQUINOX CHEVROLET WAS REAR END BY A FORD MUSTANG, PUSHING ME INTO THE HONDA PILOT IN FRONT OF ME. MY AIRBAG DID NOT INFLATE NOR DEPLORE, BUT MY VEHICLE SUSTAINED SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT & THE PILOT I WAS PUSHED INTO SUSTAINED BACK DAMAGE AS WELL. MY VEHICLE WAS DEEMED TOTAL LOSS BY THE LIABLE INSURANCE COMPANY UNITRIN. *TR |
| 2008 | ENGINE | WHILE DRIVING MY EQUINOX THE CHECK ENGINE AND STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP O'RIELLY CHEVROLET TUCSON AZ, I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THEM TO CHECK IT. I WENT TO ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP AND THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND SAID THERE WAS A AIR LEAK IN THE FUEL LINE MOST LIKELY THE GAS CAP. I REPLACED THE GAS CAP AND BOTH LIGHTS WENT OFF. THEN THEY BOTH RANDOMLY CAME BACK ON. I CALLED O'REILLY CHEVROLET AGAIN THEY OFFERED TO FIX CHARGING ME WHAT THE COST WAS TO FIX. I WENT TO A DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOP AND I WAS TOLD THE ERG VALVE WAS BAD SO I HAD THAT REPLACED. THE STABILITRAK LIGHT WENT OFF BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. THIS HAS GONE ON FOR A YEAR. I JUST RECEIVED A SOFT RECALL NOTICE FROM GM ABOUT A FUEL LEAK AND THERE WERE THREE ISSUES SHOWING UP. ONE OF THE ISSUES IS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I TOOK THIS RECALL ALONG WITH MY EQUINOX TO O'RIELLYS CHEVROLET MECHANIC TEC EXPLAINED TO ME THAT IT COULD BE A 50 50 CHANCE IT WAS EITHER MY PROBLEM OR THE RECALL AND THEY WOULD FIX IT AT MY COST. EACH TIME I CALLED I WAS NEVER TOLD AT THIS DEALERSHIP THAT MY VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE COST OF THE REPAIRS. NOW WITH A RECALL I STILL HAVE TO PAY THE PART OF THE REPAIRS. IS THIS NORMAL? *TR |
