Wheel Problems of Chevrolet Equinox - part 2

Bought this car on 11/3/19, within the first week there was a horrible thumping and vibrating while driving or turning the wheel. So I took it back, they told me they would replace my wheel hub on the drivers side, I return to pick up my car, the same issue is there just not as bad, he claimed he still replaced the wheel hub. So I take the tire off myself and inspect the wheel hub and tires, and they in fact didnt replace the hub, they just siliconed the wheel hub to the end of the axle shaft, which now has caused other damage to my trans and or suspension. I call to let them know and the owner first played stupid as if he didnt know if they replaced it, so I told them id call back. I waited a week called back, let him know what I found on the wheel hub that was supposed to be replaced. . Then he gets nasty and says its out of their hands ect, and they did replace it. . Well no wheel hub is gong to go bad in less then a month with normal driving conditions, and there is no reason at all silicone should be used to hold anything to an axle or wheel hub. I am worried about the safety of my family and wife, and I am suppose to continue to pay another 2700 dollars on a car they lied about during my warranty.

Bought Equinox in March 2018 equipped with 4 hankook tires. Shortly after purchase, the hankook tires began to lose air pressure. In January of 2019, I took the car in for the annual state inspection and told the mechanic the right rear tire lost much more air pressure than the other tires. The mechanic said there was a screw in it. It was patched. The tire was rotated from back to front. The tires were still losing pressure . On October 22, 2019, while parked at my home, the right front had 5lbs and the right rear had 6lbs of pressure. I put air in the tires, the right rear took the air, but the right front would not. I had the car towed in on October 24, 2019 to the dealer, priority Chevrolet in chesapeake, va and they had to put 2 goodyear tires on to replace the hankook ones because the hankook tires had been discontinued. My concern is the that the 2 remaining hankook tires might go flat while driving.

I have 41,000 miles and my car started making a weird wobbling noise ( worse when I turn)at the left front drivers side tire. I was advised to fix it right away as it is a safety hazard. Took it in and I had to have my left front wheel baring replaced for $600. 00 I have 41,000 miles and these should be good for 80,000-150,000 miles. I kept the part.

When driving down the road, the dashboard lights go off, the radio goes off and reads �lost communication with telematics control module�. During this time, the car is still running in motion, the dashboard lights come back on, but the gauges are at 0. The radio turns off completely, the heating/air shuts off, the signal lights don't work, and my headlights start to flicker going on and off. This is very dangerous when driving at night. After minutes, everything comes back on, but likely goes out again. I've started to experience this in every trip to and from. Also, I recently had an oil change and they found metal shavings in the oil. This could eventually clog my motor if not handled properly, and first have to find out what metal pieces are rubbing. Last but not least, my tire pressure monitoring system does not properly read the actual tire pressure. I just don't know where to start.

2 days after driving this 2010 chevy Equinox off the lot. The power steering pump goes out. The power steering had a winding noise since it was replaced, and they told me there may just be air in the line. After riving it that way for a month took it in to get that looked at and they ended up replacing that and said it was a faulty pump. Then days later one of the tire sensors goes out. Had that replaced! then a few hours after driving it that same tire sensor goes out again. This is the worst vehicle that general motors as made!!!!! it had new tires when we bought this vehicle and not even 8 months the two rear tires were making the rear end slide all over the road and after investigating the problem I found the two rear tires had wires showing on the inside of the wheel tread all the way around the wheels. Take it in and the mechanic said it was because we didn't have a tire rotation! well, after replacing the tires, then 6 months down the road the new tires are in the exact same place just on the rear tires. There is no way that you need to have a tire rotation that often. Had them replaced once again. The heat stopped working and only blows cold air! found out that these vehicles are known for this issue. That sensor up under the glove box isn't strong enough to open/close the vent to keep regulating the heat control. Now, the 2nd set of tires have the same wires going around the tires!!!!! major safety issue! if, gm doesn't do something about these issues they are going to be facing a lot of lawsuits or customers going elsewhere. Now the wipers stopped working and like the control arms fell off under the outer dash area!!!! take these vehicles straight to the junkyards. Oh, and the stability trac control issue has happened as well were the vehicle loses all power in the middle of a four-lane freeway!!!.

I have been having issues with the tires , at first I had a screw in the back passenger tire . The dealership did fix that, then I had to take the vehicle back because the same tire kept loosing air then it was the valve stem, now the tire on the back passenger side is showing that it is low and I have had to go to the dealership, they are giving me grief about these damn tires ! I don't know if it is something going on with the sensors or if they just need to go on and replace these tires since I am on the new tires for life program but every time I have to go to the dealership I end up with attitude from them and a migraine from having to deal with some Smart ass that is telling me that I can't get a new tire until they determine that I can or if it is a sensor issue I'm gonna have to pay for it! no sir !!! this vehicle is brand damn new !!! I will get a lawyer and I will see Chevrolet dealership and whomever in court and y�all can buy this crap car back! either fix this issue or we can do this another way.

2018 Equinox all wheel drive tires, michelin premier ltx m&s, size, 225/60r18 100h tpc bsw. All 4 tires are down to 1/32" tread depth at 16482 miles. Vehicle serviced 3 times by Chevrolet dealer for oil change and tires rotated twice. Tires kept at recommended tire pressure of 35 psi. Tire rated by manufacturer for 60,000 miles. Tires evenly worn across tread surfaces. Chevrolet declined warranty claim stating tire wear is a tire manufacturer's issue. Dealer contacted michelin representative who states that there is a recall on the same tire with either a 16" or 17" rim size but not 18". Dealer relayed that michelin would replace the tires with same identical model however I would be responsible for 25% of tire retail cost as well as all taxes, mounting and balancing totaling over $300. 00. This does not seem right as I am sure that the 18" tires will also eventually be included in this recall.

Tire pressure monitor system is reading incorrectly. It's saying my tire pressure is 18 when it is 48.

The tpms system:. We have a 2018 Chevrolet Equinox. Thru on star we get a "low pressure" tire warning every few weeks. And the warning takes over the speed gage which has been a problem. Air is added where indicated but we will get another notice in a week later. Now lately around February 5th, 2019, the car was taken to the dealer. Tires checked. They said that nothing was wrong except for too much air. They reset the computer. 7 days later around February 12th, 2019, we got another warning. Again it blocks the speed monitor and it won't let you reset it. The week of February 19th, 2019, I contacted the dealer again. Concern that it could be a sensor. They finally called back today-2-25-2019. Patrick from serra Chevrolet tried to down play the sensor needing to be replaced. He put more emphasis on the weather. But we keep explaining that it happens in spring to winter. Serra Chevrolet-southfield is where we leased this vehicle. Concern: 1. With this continuing to happen we will never know when we could get a tire blow out. 2. Not being able to see the speed monitor off and on is also very dangerous. And it won't allow us to reset it. We want all 2018 Equinox to be checked. The sensors in the 2018 Equinox must be checked and be replaced. We need some support from the manufacturer/gm. ****also check, delay in acceleration after that gas pause in the engine. Thank you. And be blessed.

2017 Equinox came with michelin latitude tour x tires. After less than 2 years (30,000 miles), tire sidewalls are severely cracked. I have never seen a tire degrade as badly as these have. The factory in poland must be using substandard materials to make these tires. Dot b53t 031x 4516. According to michelin, I will be responsible for at least 80% of the replacement cost. I always thought michelin was a high quality company but after seeing how these tires are falling apart, I no longer think that.

I need to report that when driving on these icy roads that my awd Equinox feels like it swerves? it feels like it takes me into the other lane most of the time. Now, I don't know if its the awd causing it but other awd vehicles that I've driven have never did it this bad to the point that it feels almost like my back end starts going sideways.

~tl the contact owns a 2018 Chevrolet exquinox. The contact stated that the rear tires were worn. The contact stated that while driving both back tires are warn and cause for a bumpy ride. Now the tires are warn and when the contact drives they go off the road. The vehicle was taken to kleme sales inc. , 125-129 n 2nd Ave, stratford, WI 54484 (715) 407-4179 where a mechanic test drove the vehicle and they told the contact that the tires were fine. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and they provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 16,450. Jw.

I am not exactly sure what it is that's wrong with my car it has to do with my brakes and the pedal. . I thought the brake pads were bad. When I changed them it had almost brand new ones on. . My traction control light stays on and my abs light stays on. . The pedal has hard spots in it and it just grinds like the pads are bad when I hit my brakes! its not safe and I don't know what's wrong with it! my research shows I'm not the only one with this car that has the problem. Its been a problem for a bit now. . I just bought this car and very disappointed. . I have 2 kids and can't even fix my brake problem because I don't know what to fix and can't afford to to replace it all. . The problem is mainly when driving slow through towns the brakes pedal locks and it grinds and I have to pump it several times to try and get it to work. . Then I have to my e brake if it don't. . Thanks an angry customer.

I asked mechanic to rotate my tires. They reported that a majority of lug nuts had deep cracks and metal was separating on the lug nuts. One lug nut on front passenger wheel was frozen on and sheared in half when attempted to remove. I had to take vehicle to Chevrolet dealership. The dealer advised me that if I drove the car in that condition it would be impossible to change tire if I got a flat. On 12/18/2018 I returned to dealership and they recommended that I change all the lug nuts due to cracks. They also advised me that the wrench that came with the car would not fit the broken lug nut and it would have been impossible to change the tire on the road. The broke the stud in drilling out the lug nut. The total bill came to 6 hours labor $720, 20 lug nuts $179. 80, one stud $5. 99 plus tax for $937 total. I believe their is safety issue with these lug nuts. They are made from two types of metal that with use appear to start to separate with large cracks in the chrome metal on the axis where the two metals appear to join. In my situation it would have posed a definite road hazard if I had attempted to remove the tire and the bolt sheared in half along the axis of where the metals joined. I would have been left in a situation where is was impossible to change the tire along the side of the road. The car would have had to be towed as a tow truck operator would have found it impossible to change the tire.

Our 37 yr old son who was visiting from out of town for the holidays was driving on our local interstate when he heard a loud noise in the front end and what he thought was the drivers side. He knew he did not hit anything in the road or pothole. The next thing he knew he was quickly sliding to a stop. He did not know what happened. He pulled onto the shoulder of the road and saw the left front tire was missing, but observed that the five lug nuts and the center part of the aluminum alloy cast rim were still tight and intact on the hub. Two new york state police responded and retrieved the tire, rubber still fully in tact, no blow out, no damage, but the entire inner rim had disintegrated was missing. The only part of the rim left was the circle area that the tire hugs, basically the lip area. All the center mass, spokes were gone. Lug nuts were tight. . Trooper said in his 28 yrs he never saw anything like this and wrote in his accident report as cause of accident "faulty equipment failure". The vehicle struck nothing prior, during, over after this event. Had my wife been driving, she probably would have panicked or worse. This could have easily become a multi car pileup with injuries and or fatalities. Having an automotive background and experience and understanding building my first car engine at age 15 yrs old it is my belief that this was a faulty rim based on impurities in its casting process or a possible stress crack. Had this been billet machined aluminum instead of cast aluminum/alloy this event would never had happened. My concern is public safety in regards to this failure, not knowing if this is an isolated incident or are there millions of cars out there that this could happen to, which I know gm would try to sweep under the rug as it would cost millions of dollars for recalls to refit cars with newer safer rims. I have several photos/video. Thank you.

After the first snow, driving with my new Equinox the slush built up inside the wheel-wells and affected the driving. My car shimmied while driving at any speed, and I have to stop and chop out the ice around the tires and spring above the tire, which is very close to the tire. It seems to be the "fabric" that the wheel-well is made from. I have never had this happen on any other SUV I have driven in winter. Now that I have owned it a while and today is the first real snow of fall, it is continuing to do this. I called the dealer today and they said that all day today they have been dealing with customers and this issue.

The vehicle burns oil and the gas pedal occasionally stops working while driving and the steering wheel locks. I was driving on a street downtown in a city and the gas pedal stopped working in the middle of the street and the steering wheel would not turn. I had to restart the car to get it to work again.

I purchased this vehicle I June 28th of 2018. I have had to take it into the shop at least three times with complaints of squeaking from brakes mirror alert problems trunk sticking and the suspension has gotten worse since I first started driving it I'm noticing it. Every time I complain they tell me nothing is wrong except for at the beginning of my lease it had to be taken in for repairs. I was told that the brakes squeaking is not a safety issue and it was recommend to change my brake pads and in the same conversation was told that my brakes were fine. I spoke to the manager at balise chevy because I felt like this veichele was a lemon. I asked if there was anything they could do because I did not have time to keep taking this brand new veichele because it was a lease so they did nothing. Balise chevy in warwick should have notes of complaints. I also took the vehicle to hurd auto mall in johnston. There was a slow leak in one of my tires and balise could not find the leak so I was told if it happens again they would submerge the tire and check that way. They sent me home the tire continued to leak air my last oil change was done at hurd automall in johnston where they did an oil change found the tire leak no problem and fixed it.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Equinox. While the contact was retrieving items from the vehicle, the front passenger tire exploded unexpectedly while in park. Also, while driving various speeds, various warning indicators, including the air bag, check engine, and power steering, illuminated intermittently. In addition, the serpentine belt fractured on three separate occasions due to a defective pulley inside the engine. The contact took the vehicle to various independent mechanics to have it serviced; however, the serpentine belt and the warning indicator failures persisted. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 8,000.

I purchased a 2012 gm Equinox on sept. 6, 2017 sept 9 my check engine light came on and vehicle was low on oil � we added oil sept 13 I had a tire claim due to tires being �dry rotted� per dealership. Oct 19 car started driving funny, stalling � stopped in middle of road with my 18 month old son and my 8 year old disabled daughter. Had to call someone to come. When checked vehicle had almost no oil in it again. Oct 29 � bringing disabled daughter to school when car stalled in middle of road. Checked and there was almost no oil in it. We have had to add oil to vehicle at least once a week since just to make sure I didn't break down taking my daughter to school. We did this every Monday just as preventative maintenance because obviously there was a problem with the motor. Feb 6 � even after keeping oil in vehicle weekly my car wouldn't start this morning. Checked oil etc. It finally started up later that day and I went to get my step daughters. When we got ready to leave and tried to crank car it made a loud whiny kind of sound and it smelled like wires or something burning. Steering locked up and it wouldn't turn over again and I couldn't remove key from ignition. The vehicle wouldn't crank back. Called someone to come. They checked battery, fuses, etc. I ended up having to leave my car where it was overnight believing it was an ignition problem. Feb 7 � mechanic was called to check car. Rear main sealed was busted, timing chain had broken and severely damaged entire motor. Entire engine was completely shot and had numerous broken pieces! I was told there was no warranty on this and dealership couldn't do anything about it. I decided to do some research. There are literally hundreds of complaints with details very similar to my own and end results the same as my own.

My fleet consists of 40 2018 Equinox I have had to put tires onto 26 with under 20k miles, have had 7 alignments checked and all were off, bad on the back. As much as . 38deg toe 1. 3deg camber. All issues seem to be in the rear end.

I have a 2013 chevy Equinox with michelin latitude tour tires 235/55r18 99t m+s dot m33j 007x 1810. The vehicle has less than 42,000 miles on it. The tire tread on all four tires is peeling away from the sidewall, exactly what is occurring with the other sizes of latitude tour tires that have been recalled. The tire that I have should also be recalled because I am having the same problem as the other recalled tires and have to replace all four tires immediately, not because the tread is wearing out, but because they are in danger of blowing out due to the tread/sidewall separation, which is a manufacturer defect.

Lug nuts have rusted through and are cracked. 70,000 miles on vehicle, and have had tires rotated at dealership at appropriate intervals.

Today ( 7/7/17 ) going approx 25mph the passenger front tire blew out at the side wall causing the vehicle to shoot to the right and graze the curb. Prior to the failure the tire pressure monitor light went on and right after the light turned on the blow out happened. The tire had 3571 miles of which we put approx 300 miles on it after purchasing the vechile as a demo from the dealer on 6/29/17. Vehicle has michelin latitude touring p225/65/r17.

Rv towed 2015 Equinox developing vibration and hard to hold on highway. Hard to steer without over-correcting.

I have lived on sheads mountain rd for 3 years now. In that 3 years we have had 9 flat tires and all of them have had rocks in them and most of them we have had to get new tires because this road is so bad and they could not plug or patch them. My husband works for escavating company for 28 years and isince we have lived here they have never graded this road! I have sent so many complaints and have even called and talked with vdot and have never gotten anywhere. I have a brand new 2016 SUV with 13,000 miles on it and in the last 3 weeks have had to get 2 brand new tires. I filed what I thought was a claim already but it was just a road complaint and got a call from mike baily and when I went into detail about my complaint and that I was getting a lawyer and I was tired of these road conditions the very next day they came out and actually graded the road instead of just throwing stone down on itt like they usually do. The washboards were so bad you literally had to drive 5 mph and still you about went into the ditch which is dangerous in itself because the ditch line was so deep. I am submitting a claim for both of my tires and I have a picture of one of them with the rock.

Tire pressure( every week need air pressure),power steering( light on say check) , cod#p0010 (ing light on) ing off alone. . .

Tire inflator monitor is still acting up won't keep accurate reading or hold information for longer than a few hours, vehicle is stationary!!!.

Continue issues with the tire sensors and false readings. I have had the vehicle to shop at least 2 x a month for this and still same issue. I see that in 2011 this as an issue with the vehicle, but I my vehicle was built July 2012. Light comes on at 30lbs and everytime there is no issue with any of the tires. I believe that this is an issue that needs address.

Was alerted to the condition of my tires while on an eight hour trip from home. Dry rot on tires with less than 40,000 miles. Tires rotated regularly. Mechanic said I was in dire danger. Had to install 4 new tires, an expense not expected on michelin tires, of which was a selling point on my car. He said they won't even carry them because of the dry rot problems they've been seeing. My husband looked on youtube when I called to get his take. Said there was a stream of stories and videos from folks just like me. The lord was with me that day for sure.

I bought this car used in 2026 I have not had it a year yet and after the first month it has been in for repairs, the wheels sounds like they are coming off at times, it sounds like something is dragging underneath, brakes scrubs even with my placing new one on, sometime it feel like transmission is going out, it pulls hard at time. Even tho this car is old can I still take it in for recall problems. I was not told about any recalls when I bought this car, I paid $3500 and I feel I have almost paid this much in repairs,all of this happens when car is in motion. On highway​, streets and it pops sometime when making turns.
