“I purchased a 2007 chevy Equinox from a private party back in january but due to a mix-up with the title and the previous owner I could not title the car and start driving it until march. I've noticed lately a strong smell of gas and a very loud clunking noise from the driver side front wheel. I took it to a local shop in my town and was told I had a gas leak at the top of the tank and that the sway bar linkage needed to be replaced . …”
NHTSA complaint #11097287, filed 2018-05, 129,000 miles“I was driving home from work on a busy interstate going nearly 60 MPH when my traction control light came on, I lost engine power, my car jerked because of this and I was nearly hit from behind. This is a huge safety problem and should be fixed. After reading other complaints about the same issue, when is GM going to do something about this obvious problem for the consumer?”
NHTSA complaint #10551357, filed 2013-11, 104,396 miles“Once again, driving on a busy highway my stabilitrac light came on and my engine was powered down. My vehicle is once again in the shop having the throttle bottle replaced. The first time this happened, the mechanics just cleaned the part, this time it is being replaced. When your vehicle powers down, you lose the ability to safely maneuver your car- potentially causing an accident.”
NHTSA complaint #10551361, filed 2013-11, 105,115 miles“The car starts to jerk while driving almost causing me to have an accident. The transmission jerks and the tractions control makes the car become undrivable. The computer in the car is defected I purchased the car last year in 2013 and the car computer transmission is no good.”
NHTSA complaint #10627363, filed 2014-08, 78,000 miles“I was driving and all of a sudden the steering got really hard I've been doing research and it appears there has been more cars like mine with the same problem definitely there should be a recall of somewhat plus the dealership is charging me $750 for repairs.”
