Vehicle battery dies, car dies. No them or reason to it. It will not start. Battery is less than a year old. Try to start the vehicle and nothing, no interior lights radio, nothing. Other times it will let the interior lights come on and just clicks. This is after the car has sat for 2-3 days and not driving or going anywhere due to the corona virus. Went out the next day, started fine. We even tried jumping the car off from another vehicle and it wouldn't even clicked it was trying to start. This has happened multiple times over the last year. Resulting in replacing the battery. Now it's still happening and the battery is less than a year old.
Takata recall. . . My vehicle has an intermittent issue of a slow to no crank when the vehicle is being started. Onstar sent the following message: your 2015 Chevrolet Equinox detects a battery shorted cell. The battery is needed to start the vehicle. To avoid a situation where you can't start your vehicle, please schedule service with your preferred service provider as soon as possible, so they can replace your battery. You can still drive your Chevrolet but it may become harder to start. And if the battery does fail, you will not be able to start the vehicle. My odometer reads 39,000 thus voiding any warranty coverage of up to 36,000. The vehicle is only 1-1/2 years old, purchased new. Online research has indicated that this has been an ongoing issue with the Chevrolet Equinox for the 2015 models as well as many other model years. Gm has been unable to identify the root cause of their battery issues. It appears that something is causing a draw on the system and gm has not been able to identify the issue.
"takata recall . I was on my phone using the bluetooth. Then I received another call and took call. My other party hung up the line and once I was done with the call I hung up but on the display it showed as if I was still on my phone. Cut my car off still nothing happened. I went so far as resting my radio and phone features. . . . Still nothing. So when I home the light and display stayed on and when woke up the next morning battery dead . . . . Mind you this is a 2015 not even 3 or 4 months since I bought it. Took the car in after I had to get a jump start. The dealership kept my car for a few days to tell me nothing is wrong. But as I did some research I see other chevy Equinox owner's are having the same issues. What is going to be done??.
