This special coverage, bulletin #14882 is exactly what's going on with my vehicle and I am under the 10-year, 120k time frame. Yet apparently my VIN doesn't match up so I don't get coverage. Https://gm. Oemdtc. Com/1899/special-coverage-adjustment-plugged-pcv-orifice-in-intake-manifold-2010-2014-Buick-Chevrolet-GMC I was sold this vehicle in August of 2016. I complained about excessive oil use via email and my complaint was never addressed. Bulletin 12585c was released between January and March of 2016, so jeff belzer Chevrolet of lakeville, mn sold me this vehicle with the piston issue instead of covering them. Now that I've learned about special coverages, I am outside of the time frame for coverage and I feel slighted and cheated. This is a faulty design and instead of Chevrolet holding a semi-decent standard, I am left with the bill. Https://gm. Oemdtc.

In February 2015 the throttle body was replaced/repaired due to reduced engine power and stalling while driving. Although no longer under warranty, Chevrolet picked up the repair cost. Since the repair, there has been hesitation in acceleration. More recently there has been loud engine noise (sounds lile a diesel engine), rough idling at a stop & hesitation when turning off the vehicle. It sounds and feels like the engine is going to fall out. The check engine light has come on 2x. I will be scheduling service.

Driving at 55mph suddenly car decelerates and warning light flashes "engine power reduced". . . Cannot accelerate past 15 mph. Service at chevy dealer diagnosis - throttle body needs replacement. . . Concerned to have this sudden problem at highway cruising speeds.

My wife purchsed a 2011 chevy equanok with a window sticker stating a four cyclinder engine. It had 1800 miles on the vehicle when purchased. We took the vehicle in to have the oil changed and found it has a six cyclinder engine. How is this possible and who should I speak wiht at gm. I'm very concerned because of the terrible gas milage and a six cyc engine was not shown on the paper work?.

Upon leaving the home driveway, as the car began to accelerate, the "check engine" light came on, and the information station flashed the warning "stabilitrac / power reduced". The car was still drive-able, but would not accelerate past the first transmission gear. After getting the vehicle back home, I restarted it, and the same warning was displayed in the information station. The vehicle also began to idle very roughly and emit thick black smoke. All indications from internet sources point to a bad throttle body, which was later confirmed by the car dealership. According to the massive amount of complaints about this part, it has a very high failure rate in this vehicle. However, chevy refuses to cover this part as part of their power-train warranty. The "power reduced" condition caused by this part failure is a very dangerous thing to have happen to you if you are turning in a busy intersection or on an interstate highway, and if something is not done, there will be injuries or fatalities because of it.

Sensors for the throttle control went out causing reduced engine power in sub zero weather at a stop. This made for hazardous driving in rush hour traffic as it was difficult to get the car above 15 mi per hr especially up any slight incline when the normal speed limit was 45 and every one is annoyed they are being slowed down.

When vehicle was pulled into our garage, a strong smell of gas was noticed. Still under warranty the fuel line was replaced by our dealer. The vehicle mileage was 18700 miles. We bought the vehicle in February of 2011. The vehicle gets parked in our garage every night. We are concerned that a vehicle with so little mileage and at so young an age could have such a serious corrosion problem.

Engine continue to run 3 - 5 seconds after the ignition was turned off.

My wife took our 2007 tahoe in to trade it for something that got better gas mileage. She went to liberty Chevrolet in villa rica GA. She was looking at the chevy Equinox. After talking with the sales person melissa bell who assured my wife the Equinox would get better than 30 mpg. And if it didn’t get the mileage it could be fixed. Well after multiple trips to three dealerships it is very obvious that melissa was lying through her teeth just trying to sell the car. After 5000 miles we still only get around 22mpg highway. I called the Chevrolet complaint line just to be told that that mpg was under best driving conditions in other word they were going to do nothing to fix the problem even though the sales person lied to my wife right in front of my sister. I will tell you this I have bought my last Chevrolet.

The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that there was a sever rattling heard from the vehicle as soon as it was started. The vehicle was hesitant to acceleration and the contact stated that it was consuming far more gasoline fuel than normal the failures recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis however the failure could not be replicated. The manufacturer was notified but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 100 and the current mileage was 30,000.

Traveling 70 mph down freeway when suddenly my cel illuminated along with the traction control and anti skid lights. After carefully dodging a few vehicles, I pulled to side of freeway in heavy traffic and turned off my engine for a couple minutes. Restarted and engine appeared to run fine however the cel remained illuminated. I took the vehicle to a local gm dealer and they indicated a new throttle body was needed to remedy my situation to the tune of $340. 00. The money part doesn't bother near as much as having to get to the shoulder in heavy 70 mph traffic. This imposed a very severe safety hazard to not only myself, but all occupants in my vehicle at the time.
