| 2007 | STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:SUPPORT DEVICE | TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE CONTACT HEARD A TICKING SOUND IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. HE STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD POOR FUEL MILEAGE. THE CONTACT ALSO HAD TO JUMP FROM THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE SERPENTINE BELT CAUGHT A WIRE THAT WAS NOT IN A WIRING HARNESS AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THE CONTACT ALSO EXPERIENCED STABILATRAC FAILURE ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, WHICH CAUSED THE POWER STEERING TO FAIL. HE HAS BEEN INJURED TWICE BECAUSE THE REAR HATCH DOOR STRUTS FAILED AND STRUCK HIM IN THE HEAD. THE TIRES THAT CAME ON THE VEHICLE WERE SEVERELY WORN AND THE TURN SIGNALS WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THE TWO FRONT DOORS AND THE REAR HATCH DOOR CRACKS AND MAKES SQUEAKING NOISES. SOME REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE; HOWEVER, THE REAR HATCH NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED ALONG WITH THE TICKING SOUND IN THE ENGINE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 26,000. |
| 2007 | TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM | WE WERE TRAVELING 3-28-2013 AND WERE ABOUT A HUNDRED MILES FROM OUR DESTINATION WHEN THE SERVICE STABILITRAC, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. LESS THAN A YEAR PRIOR TO THIS ON 4-19-2012 WE HAD A SIMILAR INCIDENT, WHICH HAPPENED TO BE THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE. WE MADE IT HOME 4-2-2013 AND TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND FOUND OUT THE EGR VALVE NEED REPLACING. I REPLACE THE EGR VALVE AND CLEARED THE CODES. ALL WAS WELL TILL 4-7-2013 WHEN THE SERVICE STABILITRAC AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN. I HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK INTO THIS. *TR |
