general problems of the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox - part 2

Purchased this vehicle 2 years ago. It has under 50k miles and seemed to be in good condition. Currently it is at 65k miles and has experienced these issues: -stalling at intersections or stop signs a total of 6 times. Taken in multiple times for this issue. - wheel grinding and bucking when stoping of turning right. Also taken in multiple times to dealer - electrical system failure identical to the prior year model recall. The electrical system that houses the heating system and the radio has stopped working. None of the buttons are lighting up at all. You can not turn on the heat or defrost causing s visibility hazard. The radio it's self does work but you have to operate it from the steering wheel. The 2011 models had the same exact issue and were recalled. I feel this model should be included since the issue is the same. No alterations or have been done to the console. Everything is still as it was when purchased from the dealer.

The control module failed and resulted in headlight gone at ~50k miles. The transfer case went bad and the car did not move at all at 64k miles. Can not believe the powertrain got problem just after the warranty expired.

This may be related to NHTSA campaign number 16v502000. On July 11, 2016, I was in my son's driveway, placed my car in park, and my granddaughter and I got out of the car. The car was still, and my keys were still in the ignition. While I was between the door and the car, the car started to roll backwards, which knocked me to my feet and under the car. The car rolled up onto my ribcage and my vision started to go dark. A nearby person managed to roll the car off of me. I was taken to the hospital where I learned I had five broken ribs and a small puncture in my lung. My leg is bruised from my thigh to my toes. About a week later, I developed an infection in a wound on my ankle. I have had several follow up visits to doctor to check for pneumonia and blood clots. A visiting nurse comes to my house twice per week. I cannot drive and have weight restrictions for several weeks. I have mailed a letter to the ceo and general counsel of gm, but have not received a response.

The my link radio goes out at around 40,000 to 50,000 miles. With the loss of the radio you lose backup camera and all the info on the vehicle including warnings such as turn indicator noises, hazard noises, and all the other Smart features of the vehicle.

The failure mileage was 35,000. The VIN was unavailable.

Vehicle will accelerate unexpectedly or sputter or pause before accelerating. Vehicle has stalled out several times. Radio preset station zeros out or radio station randomly changes. Clock does not work on a regular basis. Key fob locks and door opener randomly stops working until key fob is put into the ignition. Warning lights on dash come on randomly, mostly on washer fluid and tire pressure.

Driving slowly the engine and entire electric system shuts down and the car just turns off while driving. Then you have to put it in park and start the car back up and then it happens again.

I filed a different report earlier for the same vehicle. Now the vehicle is starting on its own, if the key is left in the ignition when you turn it off, about 30 seconds to 1 minute later the car will start with no one behind the wheel. It will continue to try to start until you pull the key out. It is just the key in the ignition, no key chain hanging from it. Last week Apr 29,2014 the car started and ran for 10 second with the ignition off. How long before the vehicle jumps into gear and runs someone over with no one behind the wheel? I found out that this website does not investigate any report unless you pay $50. 00 plus, whatever else they want for it.

2012 Chevrolet Equinox has been to the dealer four times for the same problem. Would seem to have to do with the electrical components in the radio/gps unit. The safety portion involves the dash and gps unit darkening during the day which causes the driver not able to see any of the gauges. Not being able to see the speedometer is extremely dangerous. At the same time any use of the gps is unavailable. Have been told the entire unit and components were replaced. Now I have my doubts. The dealer and service department is dublin Chevrolet in dublin, CA.

My vehicle keeps red lining at 6000 rpms and bangs into gear. . Been at the dealer many times and they say nothing's wrong but keep replacing parts. . . My car is still under warranty and now they wanna charge me for a transmission I have every record since we bought the car that this problem has been happening since day 1. . . The vehicle is in motions and it happens at different speeds I also have videos of it acting up.

When stopped at a stop sign or red light sometimes the engine tries to cut out, and the car jerks like it is trying to stay cranked. I have a friend that has a gm terrain and hers does the same thing. When turning there is a knocking in the steering. The speakers have a rattling sound like they are busted, but it doesn't do it all of the time. I took my car to the dealer, but of course they couldn't find anything wrong with it, the car now has 23,000 and it still hasn't been fixed. (this has been going on since September of 2011 when I bought the car).

The night sandy hit on the east coast, it was windy in michigan. Our city was doing leaf pickup around that time so leaves were accumulated at the edges of the roads. The car was being driven through a subdivision on a paved road and it just caught on fire. Gm will take no responsibility for the fire. They say leaves blew up under the car and they are what caught on fire. How can vulnerable areas not be shielded from this? the car was about a month old!!! the fire burnt for about 7 minutes. The dealership says that there is nothing they can do. A team from gm inspected the car and they will not even let us see their report. We haven't had a car for over a month and I for one am furious! they tell us if we have the car repaired we lose any right to pursue legal proceedings. . . . We have to pay $500 (our insurance deductible) to start repairs even though they wont tell us what is damaged even though we purchased additional insurance at the time of purchase through the dealer to cover our deductible in the event of damage. . . All they say is that it was our fault for not reading the manual regarding driving or parking over leaves. . . We found reference to it in the off road portion of the manual. The car had never been driven off road.
