| 2011 | ENGINE | TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE BECAUSE THE CAR WAS SHAKING, AND RATTLING WHILE DRIVING, LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. EVENTUALLY THE ENGINE STALLED AND STALLED SEVERAL TIMES UPON RESTARTING THE ENGINE. THE SERVICE TEAM SAID THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE AN O2 SENSOR. SINCE THEN THE CAR IS STILL STALLING AND RIDING ROUGH BUT DOES NOT HAPPEN AS OFTEN. SERVICE DEPARTMENT KEEPS TELLING ME THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO ?REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM?. SO FAR THE CAR HAS STALLED ON ME 4 TIMES IN LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER BEING THE IN SHOP TWICE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. A CAR WITH LESS THAN 45,000 MILES SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS !! THIS POSES A DANGER TO THE PUBLIC AND MY FAMILY IF IT STALLS AND I AM UNABLE TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD IN TIME TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. *TR |
| 2008 | AIR BAGS | MY 2008 EQUINOX HEADLIGHTS ARE FULL OF WATER WHICH MAKE THE VISIBILITY AT NIGHT VERY BAD. THE DOOR LOCKS WILL ONLY OPEN THE LOCKS PART OF THE WAY AND YOU CAN'T GET IN THE CAR, AND THIS SEEMS TO BE AFFECTED MORE WHEN THE SUN SHINES ON THE VEHICLE. IT ACTS LIKE THE LOCKS WON'T WORK IN THE HEAT. I ALSO HAVE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON ANYTIME SOMEONE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS SUCH A COMFORTING FEELING, AND I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THESE ISSUES ARE NOT RECALLED BY THE AUTO MAKER. CAN ANYONE HELP US? THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THESE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD THAT ARE NOT SAFE......... *TR |
