This vehicle frequently loses charge on battery battery and alternator are new. Vehicle has less than 70k miles also throws up computer codes radio turns on and off when it wants to. I purchased it used with 40k miles and has been a problem since. I have quotes for over 2k in repairs and was told at time of purchase all recalls were cared for. Was purchased certified preowned from a dealership. Every time I fix something there's another problem.
2012 Chevrolet Equinox - 43,600 miles. Driving normally along a residential road and all inside electrical begin flashing like a strobelight. Vehicle dies soon after. Taken to mechanic, analysis done and faulty alternator is the culprit. Gm claims vehicle is out of warranty and I have to pay for repair out of pocket. After less than 1. 5 years of ownership (and buying brand new), already have to replace a major electrical component.
Vehicle lights for service stabilitrac, engine and alternator will be lit on dash. Car hesitates upon acceleration. Car was checked by dealer but they unable to correct the problem.
