Example complaints

“My wife's Equinox was traveling at around 45 MPH when axle broke and caused her to crash hitting another vehicle causing minimal damage to it, then it wen down a 10 ft embankment and hit a concrete wall head on. She had to be cut out of vehicle and car was totaled. The axle broke in half. We believe that this contributed to the accident.”
NHTSA complaint #10625684, filed 2014-08, 108,245 miles“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“Engine light turns on and says the stabilitrak needs servicing as well as the traction control and that they are off, also says that engine power is reduced. This has happened about 5 times in the past 2 months and each time that I have an appointment, the light goes off and the dealer says they cannot diagnose without a check engine light on. This concerns me. Autozone hooked up there little gadget while it was on once and indicated that the throttle position sensor may be the culprit, said it came up three times. …”
NHTSA complaint #10377808, filed 2011-01, 9,000 miles“Purchased vehicle in sept 07 and started noticing a knocking noise from the front end of the vehicle at about 2000 miles. The noise would occur during slow reverse, slow forward, and turning at slow speeds at intermittent times. We have taken the vehicle to three different dealers and they have all stated that they could not hear the noise. I am currently at 21,000 miles and we still hear the noise and we can not find anyone willing to perform the proper check on the vehicle to locate the cause.”
NHTSA complaint #10248577, filed 2008-11, 2,000 miles“Takata recall stability traction control indicator lights. No warning for brake problem. The brakes locked up and wouldn't stop or slow the car before entering a curve on a major highway.”
