Tire pressure indicator keeps showing wild numbers on all 4 tires 38, 32, 34, 35 for example even when they are properly inflated at 35 lbs per tire. This happens whether driving or in park. Got letter from gm my onboard navigation needed update for $135 and the car is barely 2 yrs old at 45k miles. Called ceo of gm complained & they had the attitude well we can't upgrade it for free. They had to have known before the 2014 model was sold that there was going to be an update in 2016 but no one told me as the buyer/customer at time of purchase. Don't thin my next vehicle will be a gm product.
I bought my 2014 chevy Equinox new. I was in crash which I hit a full size chevy truck in the driver door and it totaled my car and not one air bag came. I was crossing east and west the truck was going north to south.
Squirrels nest inside dash and squirrels inside car. Got five out. They kept coming out as I was driving down the road. Insulation chewed inside dash from behind steering column across to the glove box. Took to dealer they said they shouldn't be able to get into the car. They kept my car for a few days and said that they found a nest and put mesh over a hole where the windshield wiper fluid drains? in the engine compartment area? they said that is where they were getting inside the car. I could have gotten into an accident multiple times. This all happened over a course of a couple of weeks. We would get one out and more would show up. Two were sitting on the passenger floor next to me as I was driving down the road, a squirrel was seen on my dashboard inside the car when I was in a store. One was in a bag on the passenger seat next to me. Got two in traps that I set on the floor inside the car, etc. This shouldn't happen!! I am tramatized by this and do not want anyone else going through it.
This is an addendum that I posted on 3/3/2015 ( see complete report) regarding the crash alert system activating without reason. A week ago on a clear, sunny day, in the middle of the afternoon, without any obstacles or cars around, the red alert light went on and, instead of the brakes pulsating like in past incidences, the brakes applied themselves almost stopping the car before releasing. If a car had been behind us, there would have been a rear-end collision. I am waiting for a call from a gm representative regarding this matter. They and the dealership were alerted about the past incidences that have occurred. A customer service representative asked me what I would like done. My response was fix the problem before someone gets seriously hurt! or, post a recall, since my vehicle isn't the only one having this problem ( see report on 2/16/2015. ).
Collision alert system flashes red and the Equinox brakes on it on . It seem that the system taps the brakes and then releases . This has happened three times .
I looked away from my driving for perhaps 2 seconds, when my car drifted to the edge of the road-- it was raining and the grass was very slick and pulled me on into the ditch. While trying to get out of my slide, I hit a road sign with my front bumper. Immediately, I was told "airbag deployed". . . However, it did not deploy. I could smell something, like electrical burning, but the airbags stayed inside their compartment, or whatever.
Very unhappy with the space, when you put down the back seat, had to buy a spacer which was one hundred an thirty four dollars, I feel you should have provide with the vehicle. I have dogs, one got his leg caught I would like a refund, should have been part of the vehicle. Also not air for the back seat very poor design. You sent me a letter on a 2006 chev cobalt, have not own for four years please correct your records, I have 2014 chev Equinox.
A few times I have noticed that when I turn the SUV off, the ignition switch and the metal part of the key are very hot. Is this problem similar to other recalls?.
Ignition key difficult to get in and difficult to turn engine over; ignition key sticks both off and on??? I know of similar problems with the same vehicle. Ongoing problem with gm???.
The collison avoidence has been activatived 4-5 times. The red collison light and alarm have gone off when there has not been another vehicle in front or to the side. It feels like the either the brake is activated or as if somthing is falling out under the car. I have taken it in to the dealer and they cannot find anything.
