ON 05/05/13 MY 7 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER NOTICED THAT THE BACKSEAT FLOORBOARDS WHERE WET. IT'S BEEN RAINING A LOT SO I SHRUGGED IT OFF WITHOUT CHECKING. ON 05/06/13 I NOTICED PUDDLING IN THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE FLOORBOARD. REMEMBERING WHAT MY 7 YEAR OLD HAD SAID I LOOKED BACK TO FIND STANDING WATER IN THE BACK SEAT FLOOR BOARDS!!! I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND CHECKED THE SPARE TIRE WELL AS RECOMMENDED. IT HAD STANDING WATER! I CALLED THE DEALERSHIPS SERVICE CENTER AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $265 FOR A "WATER LEAK DIAGNOSTIC". THEN I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR WHATEVER THE ISSUE IS BECAUSE I AM NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN AND AM WORRIED ABOUT MOLD. NOT SURE HOW I AM GOING TO FIX THIS WITHOUT BANKRUPTING. I SUCKED IT ALL OUT WITH A WET VAC AND WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE CARPET EVERY DAY. SOMEONE HELP!! *TR

WHILE SITTING STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT YESTERDAY, MY BRAND NEW EQUINOX JUST TURNED OFF. A CO-WORKER WITH THE SAME CAR (DIFFERENT MODEL YEAR) MENTIONED THIS HAPPENED TO HER TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO IT HAPPENING TO ME. WHEN I WENT ONLINE TO RESEARCH THE ISSUE, I WAS ALARMED AFTER LOCATING MULTIPLE FORUMS WHERE EQUINOX OWNERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND LOOKING FOR ANSWERS. THE CAR HAS BEEN SHUTTING OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING, INCLUDING WHILE PEOPLE ARE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS OBVIOUSLY IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE AS IT IS HAPPENING TO PEOPLE WITH VARIOUS MODEL YEARS, AND IT COULD POSE A SERIOUS PROBLEM ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR
