I was driving one day and these lights popped on out of no where the exhaust resginator cracking the car constantly has wheel bearing issue and the engine is burning oil it's not doing what it's supposed to do with it. I was driving on the l-90 thruway at 65 mph. I. Am also having head light blowing I have changed the headlights 4 times this year.
Bought a used chevy Equinox and the manifold cracked, costly repair that I was informed seems to be a recurring safety issue being addressed 10 plus times a month by this center alone. As this seems to be a frequent and known defect that can cause death if not found and fixed I believe that chevy should acknowledge the safety concern and issue a recall rather than waiting to see people pass away because they can't afford or are unaware of the danger.
January 8th it was raining really heavy and I was on my way to work while I was driving down a busy city street to work the windshield wipers just suddenly stopped. Also right after I've gotten my car my car was making a loud noise I took it to the shop and they told me there's a crack in the exhaust both of these problems he said are very common in all the Equinox and they actually have a recall for this problem with the 2013 chevy Equinox.
Exhaust manifold cover issue -the car made a loud noise when I start the car. I took it to an auto repair place when noise was unbearable and found that the exhaust manifold cover was cracked and that was causing toxic air pushed back into the car when I turn on a/c or heat which is hazardous to the occupants health. So I needed to get it fixed ASAP. I googled to see if there is any recall or warranty extension on this part so I can take it to the dealership and there was no recall or warranty extension on this part. I researched online and came across complains from other chevy owners regarding this issue (complains seen online). I contacted chevy to complain about this issue as well as see if they would reimburse the money I spent on this repair (over $600) and they told me I should have taken it to their dealership where in reality would have cost me more than $1000 if there is no recall or warranty extension on this part (the chevy folks are aware that there is no recall on this part). I believe this is a health hazard for people who are not aware of this problem and drive around with a cracked exhaust manifold cover because they cannot afford to make that expensive repair. I contacted another auto repair place and they told me the same thing about toxic gas being pumped into the car if that cover is not fixed.
Wasn't informed about the excessive oil consumption. Letter never made it to my house. Excessive oil consumption has caused the catalytic converter to fail prematurely . Chevy issued a special warranty but it disqualifies you if you have more 120k miles. Chevy has known about this issues since 2011 but intentionally waited to issue special bulletin because they wanted to disqualify as many people as possible. . The service rep told me since I didn't pay the previous repair (which were manufacturer defects) that I am basically responsible for the repairs. This car has had over 4 major repairs that were due to manufacturer defects but the rep is saying that since I'm the original owner they won't assist me. I told her the issue is with the car, it has nothing to do with the ownership which is why you're issuing all the special warranties. None of the major repairs that were done on this car are listed in the vehicle history report on carfax or on the gm owner site where it states that such reports will appear. I got the service report from the dealership when I saw the sales associate with it. I told the rep had the information about the excessive oil consumption been listed on my chevy profile I would have had the issue fixed thus saving the catalytic converter. She still claimed it was sent. The catalytic converters need to be recalled without exception. Honda replaced my cracked my engine block no questions asked! they have honored ever warranty I've ever had and fixed every manufacturer defect without drama. I cannot say that about chevy. They have caused me nothing but stress over issues they created and have gotten away with it and today I just learned that my car now has a fuel pump recall.
