37 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 09/18/2020

When accelerating the car begins to shake and shimmy noticeably beginning around 35 or 40 mph. This shaking is felt in the seat as well as the steering wheel. The vibration continues until the acceleration is halted. This shaking feels like it is coming from the transmission or drive shaft. It seems to be getting worse too. Currently 3650 miles on the car. Serpentini chevy in westlake, OH is also aware of the problem and showed me a letter that gm sent to the dealers acknowledging the issue on 9/9/20 but no fix is available. It feels unsafe.

38 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 05/11/2020

My vehicle’s star is being illegally tapped into and accessed on a regular basis with individuals using a coding method and/or a device. I have made numerous attempts to prevent this by purchasing rfid pouches, clothes to avoid key fob intrusion. This has access has also opened the intrusion to my iphones, ipads, tvs, refrigerators, etc. I ask that you start an investigation and also demand an update to these security issues. While I’m driving, the car is an open source as well as when the car is off.

39 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2020

I own a 2020 Equinox with a VIN of 2gnaxuev1l6226983 and is still covered under the manufacture warranty. I am experiencing the technical issues reported in the service bulletin concerning the climate control odor when the engine restarts which affects 2020 to 2022 model year chevy Equinox and GMC terrain vehicles. I have contacted both the dealership I purchased the vehicle from and the general motors customer service hotline. Both have indicated to me that my VIN is not listed on the service bulletin and that I would have to pay out of pocket for the correction.

40 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 12/11/2019

In -13 degree farenheit, the vehicle locked me out. Key fob left inside vehicle for 45 min, engine off, parked in a parking lot. Remote start from inside building did not work due to fob in car. Once I arrived back a the vehicle I found the doors locked, door handle unlock button unresponsive with multiple attempts. Vehicle failed to unlock while I stood outside in -13 degree weather, completely unsafe, for 5 min. I tried all doors and tried unlocking from passenger side. There was no unlocking sound when pressing the door buttons. I tried the chevy app to unlock standing right next to the vehicle, it did not unlock immediately. After a minute or longer delay the locking mechanism started to engage or disengage randomly without me pressing buttons on the door or app. Each time I tried to open the door without success. On the last click I was able to suddenly open the door. 2530 odometer reading.
