Check enginge light keeps coming on. Code says dealer specific, went to go to dealer, light went off. Two weeks later, light comes back on for a few days, goes back off. Had the diesel system cleaned by dealer, light still comes on and off. Car has 42k miles, expertly maintained. Dealer wants $135 to diagnose the problem that their own documents say there is no solution for. On star diagnoses found nothing wrong with the vehicle and didn't even show the �check engine light� as being on. Similar reports from others online involving the 1. 6l diesel. No performance issues with the light on, but Chevrolet should be able to fix the issue - even if the car is out of warranty. A two year old car shouldn't be having random check engine light issues.
Just finshed my second year into my 3 year 2018 chevy Equinox lease and for the last month or so the service brake assist has appeared and dissapeared dozens of times when starting the vehicle and while driving as well as the check engine light has come on and off for the last few weeks. Orginally mad an appointment but the dealer ship canclled it and then my car suddenly had reduced power the died in the middle of the road as I was driving on the road. Not a highway. Got it towed to the dealer and the say a vacum pump seized? now are saying there is metal in the engine amd they dont know why. Trying to get me to pay for cost. Have taken car of vehchile and done the required matinence. This should not be happening on a 2 year old car with on 32000 miles. Very concerned there is something defected with the car. As numerous vehicles have been recalled for similar issues to mine by gm.
Less then 10,000 miles in the car and the check engine light has come on. There had not been an issue with it at all until today when I started my car after work.
I recently purchased a vehicle at feldman Chevrolet in new hudson mi ( located at 30400 lyon center drive e, new hudson< mi 48165 : 248-573-0321 ) I purchased a 2018 chevy Equinox ( VIN 3gnaxjev8js540238 ) the week of thanksgiving 2017 I was driving the vehicle on Thursday 2/15/2018 when my solid state check engine light illuminated. I immediate hit the onstar and they gave me a code of p3055 and told me to take to the dealer within 7 days. . I was told it was a � voltage communication � issue and that I should be all set, it was resolved. The following 2/21/2018, while out at lunch during my work day, the solid state check engine line illuminated yet a 2nd time. This time they said my vehicle needed a new � engine control module � - that was repaired, approx. 2 weeks later, my " service esc brake/ traction control came on" and would not go off, they had the vehicle a week and determined it was a ground short. Here it is 3/23/2018 and a 4th time my car is at the dealer, esc/ traction control again. 4 times in 5 weeks my vehicle has now been in to the dealership, at 8,000 miles . Ridiculous- all of this happened while driving.
I purchased my vehicle oct 31,2017 and with in the first two months the check engine light came on at 1,400 miles. I took my vehicle into the dealership it was purchased from immediately and was told nothing was mechanically wrong and it was okay to continue driving with the light on. It eventually went out on its own just to come back on a month later, I again took it to the dealership this time to be told I needed a new vacuum brake booster pipe. After the part was replaced the dealership then told me I needed to have the brake booster pressure sensor replaced. Three days after the sensor was replaced the check engine light was back on at this point the dealership had no more answers and was reporting my issue to gm and having one of their technicians look at my vehicle. I brought my vehicle back in for a fourth time because the light continues to turn off and on intermittently and due to my knowledge of the lemon laws on a brand new vehicle gm is now interested in purchasing my vehicle back and to this day the transaction hasn't happened because I feel as though I am being penalized for their error. The light still goes off and on and I've now had the vehicle for seven months and there still isn't an answer as to why.
