I was hit by a chevrolet avalanche on my driver side door and front/side of my vehicle. The speed limit was 60 and the roads were icy and snowy. I was driving approximately 35mph and the other vehicle must have been going at least 55-60mph. The police report stated the other vehicle was driving too fast for road conditions. My side airbag didn't deploy and i suffered a concussion and have additional injuries due to the impact. Due to the nature of the accident and location of the impact i feel my airbag should have deployed. So far the estimate on my vehicle damages is anywhere from 10-15k.
I purchased the 2020 equinox suv. Immediately leaving the dealership after a heavy rain the suv wasn't able to stop when i applied the breaks & approached a stop sign on a major highway and i was struck on the driver side of the car. I woke up in a trauma center in springfield mo. The vehicle had 84 miles on it. $17,500 in damage not including serious injuries not just to myself but the car that struck me. I was also sited a ticket from the missouri highway patrol for failure to stop at a stop sign, though i applied the breaks with enough force to stop the vehicle. I still have problems with the breaks in wet/cold climates. It's terrifying

I took this 4 week old car in to autonation chev austin for an esv light that started appearing soon after purchasing the car. I took it in on aug 10 and they called the next day to tell me the car was ready. I drove it for 4 minutes and had to take it right back to them and it has now been there 8 days. Not acceptable.

Rough idle when vehicle comes to a stop and rpms will fluctuate. Rattle noise from the exhaust when turning on or on reverse. Brakes responding late.
This complaint is not the result of an accident, but to prevent one from happening and possible taking lives of people.the keep lane assist (lka) is dangerous in that if you are depending on it. There are occasions that normal traffic lines are present and for some reason the just disappear and are not present and it is possible for the vehicle to veer off the road or into the opposing lane. General motors does provide a means of turning lka off, but it re-enablesevery time the vehicle is started.the auto stop (as) has the issue that if you stop and your vehicle stops running, you can be in a situation where you cannot get out of the way in time to prevent an accident because the vehicle has to have time to restart. Other manufactures provide a means of disabling as with a switch but general motors does not.i called the dealership and general motors and both declined to deal with the problems.

Even backing out of the driveway the car shut off and had to push down hard on gas to get it to back up because it wouldn't accelerate back. When i was coming out of my neighborhood the car would not acceleratefrom a stopped position when turning onto the main street and the cars had to come to a complete stop behind me.

I started having issues with my car stalling, there was no acceleration and the car was shaking.when the car was stopped, there was also shaking.after the car would get going, the shaking would stop, but whenever i stopped the problem would persist. I have my car at the dealer right now for 4 days.they are telling me the motor seems to be consuming too much oil and that the motor is shot,they are accusing me of not keeping up with oil changes, which is not true, and that i am responsible for the cost of repairs.i did not have the oil changes done at the dealer, but at another local shop, but don't have all of the receipts, just one from the oil change done on 3/15/2021. Is there any way to check the on-star system or computer, to see that the maintenance was completed?the car sends alerts for all sorts of things, low tire pressure, low oil, low fuel, etc.i never received low oil messages.the dealer is refusing to request any computer records for the car.the car was leased is early 2020 and shouldn't be having these kinds of issues.
As this car was being driven down the highway, about 10 minutes into my drive, smoke started coming from the vehicle, i pulled over, a passer by ran over to me telling me to get out of the vehicle that flames were shooting out of the bottom.

The second day after purchasing my vehicle as i was driving down a city street, accelerating, the car started to fill up with gas fumes!

Complaint: owner states adaptive cruise control malfunctions without notice. Owner brought vehicle to local gm service department and vehicle was returned to customer as an unfounded complaint.reporter found the following; all ipc indicators are functioning during self test, no ipc warning lights/messages present, distance following system appears to be functioning as designed and recognizes vehicles in its zone of influence. Reporter test drove vehicle with customers adas settings as dropped off. Adaptive cruise control did malfunction as customer indicated. Adaptive cruise control on engagement functioned as designed and then unexpectedly without warning failed. The most disturbing part of this fault is the only warning the system has failed is forward collision alarms. Secondly, the cruise control did not disengage upon this warning. If the prior were not enough, no ipc warnings or hard faults were recorded.this malfunction occurs unexpectedly at highway and local speeds. This fault, all the more worrisome, appears also to be either a programming error or transient. No other diagnostics were conducted. Supporting documents attached. Having personally owned adas equipped vehicles for over eight years and the confidence of using them without a problem this was a frightening experience for me and very concerning.
Driving 75 miles per hour on interstate while passing two vehicles and one car behind me the car made a dinging noise, the adaptive cruise not available light illuminated and the car decelerated causing the car behind me to have to brake.if i had not stepped on the accelerator the car behind may have hit me.this has happened on four different dates and on one trip it happened 8 times in 80 miles.this is a safety hazard that could cause rear end collision at high speed.the repair shop at my chevy dealer in town says there are no error codes and the adaptive cruise is working as designed.is i get hit frombehind at high speed this could easily cause a devastating crash.i do not trust this car or the responses i am getting from the dealer.they say no one has complained about this but i kind find sites where people are reporting the same problem.
Back in early october 2020, vehicle had about 2000 miles on it. I noticed that when i started up the vehicle the brake assist service message came on the brakes were spongy and hadvibrating feel.i drove about a half of a mile and the problem stopped. The engine light came on and stayed on but then went out.everything was ok for about two weeks when it did it again light came on took it a dealer but light went off. They serviced the vehicle and seem that the problem had stopped.then in early april of 2021 it happened again. Took it to the same dealership, they replace some more parts. Week or two weeks later same issue. Took it back to the dealership. They replaced the engine control module. During all these times, an engine light would soon follow after the message about the brake assist message. Thought it was fixed.on june 14 2021 at 1:14pm started my vehicle up the service brake assist message came on called the dealership. The brakes were vibrating and were not smooth. I stopped and turned off the vehicle and restarted the vehicle message went away brakes appeared to be fine. This time however no engine came on. Dealership was willing to service the vehicle but if the engine light wasn't on it would hard to diagnosed. I took a picture of the message before it had clear. On july 8th 2021, at 2:08pm, i started my vehicle and the service brake assist message came on. I took a photo of it. I tested the brakes appear to be ok. Turned the vehicle off the message didn't show again. My son borrow the vehicle and he got into an accident the same day approximately 6 hours. He swerved to avoid hitting a deer. He said that brakes appeared not to slow him down. He left roadway and struck a tree head on. The vehicle caught fire and he was lucky to escape. The vehicle was destroyed by the fire and crash. Not putting blame on anyone because i know there were other contributing factors to the accident . I just wanted to report this because of past problems with gm.

When we bought the 2020 equinox on january 20, 2020 the check engine light came on and they kept it 2 days diagnosing it and it said a fuel system problem and they told us that they contacted gm engineers who were looking into it and to go ahead and drive it with the light on till they got back with us. It has continued to stay on i had the code read again and it is a p2365 fuel pump a low flow/performance code. I do not like driving it with the light on, the dealership telling me to, not hearing anything back from them, the remote start will not work with the light on which is a main reason we bought it.

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 untilthe 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

My 2020 equinox has less than 500 miles and over the weekend,when coming to a stop at a light, the forward completely disengaged and would not allow us to move forward. We could only go reverse. We had our 5 year old grandson with us and this was terrifying. It could have been even more dangerous had it been dark or on a busier road.

I am a crash investigator/reconstructionist looking into a fatal crash involving a 2020 equinox with approximately 2000 miles on it that hit a tree in the front (head-on) at approximately 40 miles per hour.there were 2 occupants, driver and front seat passenger.passenger said he was not wearing his seat belt.passenger seat belt was found to be retracted and locked tight.driver seat belt was found to be retracted and loose (normal positioning).initial observation of the cdr data, and not that of a thorough and complete analysis, indicates that the driver was buckled and the passenger was unbuckled.the steering wheel appears to be collapsed as though the driver moved forward in the force of the impact.there are many factors that involve the normal and safe seat belt operation, and therefore it is not known if this is a defect, normal operation as a result of the crash, operator misuse, etc.further inspection of the driver seat belt has not been done at this time.

Received "service brake assist" on car dashboard. When brakes were applied the pedal went all the way to the floorboard. Went to 3 different dealerships, the 1st 2 would not provider a loaner vehicle to me while car was being repaired. Note the car was purchase about a month ago and has 1200 miles on it. I was told that gm has a policy that they will not provide loaners, if this is true i find it very troubling. The last stop i had to put my foot down and tell them they were going to provide a vehicle for me to drive or get my car fixed immediately. I ended up with a loaner and they found that i had some pinched wires and the wiring harness had to be replaced which involves the whole engine being pulled to replace this part. The car has now been in the shop for almost a week and i may get it back tomorrow. This is the first chevy i have owned and it may be my last.

The engine light came on and stayed on but then went out.everything was ok for about two weeks when it did it again light came on took it a dealer but light went off. They serviced the vehicle and seem that the problem had stopped.then in early april of 2021 it happened again. Took it to the same dealership, they replace some more parts. Week or two weeks later same issue. Took it back to the dealership. They replaced the engine control module. During all these times, an engine light would soon follow after the message about the brake assist message. Thought it was fixed.on june 14 2021 at 1:14pm started my vehicle up the service brake assist message came on called the dealership. The brakes were vibrating and were not smooth. I stopped and turned off the vehicle and restarted the vehicle message went away brakes appeared to be fine. This time however no engine came on. Dealership was willing to service the vehicle but if the engine light wasn't on it would hard to diagnosed. I took a picture of the message before it had clear. On july 8th 2021, at 2:08pm, i started my vehicle and the service brake assist message came on. I took a photo of it. I tested the brakes appear to be ok. Turned the vehicle off the message didn't show again. My son borrow the vehicle and he got into an accident the same day approximately 6 hours. He swerved to avoid hitting a deer. He said that brakes appeared not to slow him down. He left roadway and struck a tree head on. The vehicle caught fire and he was lucky to escape. The vehicle was destroyed by the fire and crash. Not putting blame on anyone because i know there were other contributing factors to the accident . I just wanted to report this because of past problems with gm.
Whenever i backup i hear a squeal noise when i put my brake on to put it in drive. I bought my car brand new and it has been doing this for a month now.
I purchased the 2020 equinox suv. Immediately leaving the dealership after a heavy rain the suv wasn't able to stop when i applied the breaks & approached a stop sign on a major highway and i was struck on the driver side of the car. I woke up in a trauma center in springfield mo. The vehicle had 84 miles on it. $17,500 in damage not including serious injuries not just to myself but the car that struck me. I was also sited a ticket from the missouri highway patrol for failure to stop at a stop sign, though i applied the breaks with enough force to stop the vehicle. I still have problems with the breaks in wet/cold climates. It's terrifying
Rough idle when vehicle comes to a stop and rpms will fluctuate. Rattle noise from the exhaust when turning on or on reverse. Brakes responding late.
Turning right after a yield and took a loop (highway) my vehicle crashed another vehicle from behind, but my vehicle supposed to have an auto warning or alert sign that i should have noticed, a beep that supposed to alert me that the other vehicle was so close even the switch was at the on mode
This complaint is not the result of an accident, but to prevent one from happening and possible taking lives of people.the keep lane assist (lka) is dangerous in that if you are depending on it. There are occasions that normal traffic lines are present and for some reason the just disappear and are not present and it is possible for the vehicle to veer off the road or into the opposing lane. General motors does provide a means of turning lka off, but it re-enablesevery time the vehicle is started.the auto stop (as) has the issue that if you stop and your vehicle stops running, you can be in a situation where you cannot get out of the way in time to prevent an accident because the vehicle has to have time to restart. Other manufactures provide a means of disabling as with a switch but general motors does not.i called the dealership and general motors and both declined to deal with the problems.
I have a brand new chevy equinox and there is an issue with the steering. It makes a knocking noise when i turn or back up to turn around. I have less than 2000 miles on this vehicle.

As this car was being driven down the highway, about 10 minutes into my drive, smoke started coming from the vehicle, i pulled over, a passer by ran over to me telling me to get out of the vehicle that flames were shooting out of the bottom. As soon as i exited the car, the entire car was engulfed in flames. The entire car was burned to the ground. The fire department was called and extinguished the fire. Gm refused to recall this vehicle or to take any responsibility.

While traveling down the interstate around 75mph, the vehicle began to shake almost uncontrollably. While i was able to regain control and continue on after slowing down, it was a very frightening occurrence.it seems to be a prevalent problem with gm cars as an internet search revealed lots of complaints for this "chevy shake."

My 2020 equinox has developed a shake/shimmy vibration when accelerating between 30 and 45 mph. When i first noticed the vibration it was slight and did not happen all the time but with more milage now at 5309 miles, it has become more noticeable enough, that my wife and i do not feel as if the car is safe to drive.two days ago while accelerating up a hill the car shimmied and a fluttering sound was heard from under the console; it happened twice while going up the hill.upon returning home i went to the dealership at riverview chevrolet and had a technician ride with me.while riding, the tech. Said he felt the vibration but could not tell me what was causing the problem or how to alleviate the problem. Upon returning to the garage i talked to the service write up person and he said to, "call all him in 10 days!!!!!."

Starting october 26, 2020 i've been experiencing my car radio shutting off and turning back on. When the radio randomly turns off, it disconnects my bluetooth and music stops playing. Today alone i have had this issue happen to me 7 times in a matter of 35 minutes. I have no idea what is causing this issue, but i would like a resolution considering that i"m the first owner of this vehicle and it's still brand new.
Car has a problem with mold in the condenser and a odor that can't be corrected. Problem is when the air conditioner is running., and becomes a problem to my breathing. After looking on line it seams to be called dirty sock syndrome. This was also smelled in the rental equinox that was provided. This is a health risk to people with breathing problems as i have.
Front wheel shake uncontrollably on a throttle load at times
I started having issues with my car stalling, there was no acceleration and the car was shaking.when the car was stopped, there was also shaking.after the car would get going, the shaking would stop, but whenever i stopped the problem would persist. I have my car at the dealer right now for 4 days.they are telling me the motor seems to be consuming too much oil and that the motor is shot,they are accusing me of not keeping up with oil changes, which is not true, and that i am responsible for the cost of repairs.i did not have the oil changes done at the dealer, but at another local shop, but don't have all of the receipts, just one from the oil change done on 3/15/2021. Is there any way to check the on-star system or computer, to see that the maintenance was completed?the car sends alerts for all sorts of things, low tire pressure, low oil, low fuel, etc.i never received low oil messages.the dealer is refusing to request any computer records for the car.the car was leased is early 2020 and shouldn't be having these kinds of issues.

Air flow into the full body throttle detaching
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 untilthe 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

I was pulling up to a family member's car port, behind their car. The car port has a grass portion leading up to the gravel section where they park their car. I pulled in slowly when my 2020 equinox suddenly accelerated! i was on the brake, but the vehicle kept accelerating causing it to run into the back of the family member's car. My vehicle continued to accelerate shoving the car forward sandwiching it between my vehicle and their home.i was able to put it in neutral as the engine continued revving up the rpms. I put the vehicle in reverse with both feet on the brake. The car lurched backward. I managed to put it in park and shut off the engine. I contacted my dealer (my vehicle has 1656 miles on it, and i have only had it for about one month). I talked with someone in the service department and was told that my floor mats caused it to happen because they had seen this before. My floor mats were well below the accelerator pedal. The vehicle rpms surged. Even if there had been a problem with the mats, i don't think the rpms would have jumped up as high as they did. The family member's vehicle was totaled. I am waiting to hear from my insurance co. They vehicle is being towed to a dealership.
The contact owns a 2020 chevrolet equinox. The contact stated that while driving 30 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate above 30 mph with the rpms revving up without the vehicle responding. In addition, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was restarted however, the gears failed to shift. The vehicle was towed to jim browne chevrolet, inc. 11300 n florida ave, tampa, fl 33612 where they diagnosed that the engine computer needed to relearn. The vehicle was repaired however, three months later the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 9,500.
Adaptive cruise control when on closest setting will not stop the car when you are going over 60mph, when a car drastically slows down in front of you the car fails to respond in fact the adaptive cruise control shuts off and ive practically hit the vehicle in front of me many times ..its hard to trust this system..and the other day it just shut off all together without a hard warning i could have plowed into the car in front of me.also the lane assist does not beep/or seat rattlewhen you veer from your lane. It beeps randomly sometimes when you edge out of your lane going around a bend "sometimes" but randomly and not consistently. Ive talked to chevys customer care team and they keep referring to the dealership like they are the manufacturer..but they did not design and are assuming its working right because all their other same models do the same things..in my opinion this doesnt mean its not a recallable inherent issue with its current programming..i think it is and should be corrected before someone gets hurt
Driving 75 miles per hour on interstate while passing two vehicles and one car behind me the car made a dinging noise, the adaptive cruise not available light illuminated and the car decelerated causing the car behind me to have to brake.if i had not stepped on the accelerator the car behind may have hit me.this has happened on four different dates and on one trip it happened 8 times in 80 miles.this is a safety hazard that could cause rear end collision at high speed.the repair shop at my chevy dealer in town says there are no error codes and the adaptive cruise is working as designed.is i get hit frombehind at high speed this could easily cause a devastating crash.i do not trust this car or the responses i am getting from the dealer.they say no one has complained about this but i kind find sites where people are reporting the same problem.
Rough idle when vehicle comes to a stop and rpms will fluctuate. Rattle noise from the exhaust when turning on or on reverse. Brakes responding late.
The second day after purchasing my vehicle as i was driving down a city street, accelerating, the car started to fill up with gas fumes!
While driving, the tires felt like they were being locked up to keep from fishtailing even though roads were clear and dry with normal acceleration. After driving, parked vehicle and sat in it for an hour. Afterwards, turned vehicle on and the screen stated to service esc.stabilitrak, lane assist, and parking assist light came on. After a couple hours with the vehicle off and drove a block, the warning lights turned off and became normal. Then after an hour of the vehicle sittingand turned off for an hour, we began driving on the highway, after an hour of driving, the screen stated to service esc again.stabilitrak, lane assist, and parking assist light came on again.
