2010 Chevrolet Equinox Body and structure Problems

“I started noticing that water was soaking the floor mat on the drivers side of the car after it rained or I went through a car wash. I took the car to a repair shop and they notified me that the bottom of the car is not welded properly from the manufacturer, so the space where it should have been welded together has left holes on both sides of the bottom of the car. These holes provide an area where water leaks into the car and continuously soaks the floors. …”

“Incident occurred: june 30, 2015 a tractor trailer was passing another vehicle and proceeded to come into the left lane. I had cruise control engaged. The truck came over admittedly at a speed that was going slower than the rate of speed I had on my cruise control. When I went to apply the brake, I felt as though my car was not decelerating enough based on the pressure I was applying to the brake. …”

“As I approached an intersection, I hit the rear end of a ford 150 pick up truck that was in the intersection waiting to make a left turn. My approx speed was 15 miles per hour. I had my seatbelt on, I was taken by ambulance to the hospital - my evaluation revealed sprain/strain to my neck, fractured right ankle, and chest wall discomfort related to the seat belt. The car was totaled --- the airbag did not deploy.”

“The other day it was raining slightly and I was at my friends house. Later when I left it was raining harder so I was using my wipers and when I had gotten 5 mins down the road my windshield wipers stopped working and it caused me to lose control because I could not see a thing. When that happened I hit something and was in the grass a bit. Now I have a chunk of my bumper gone and a headlight out cause of what I hit. Which I really don't know what it was I hit. Now my wipers don't work, a chunk of my bumper is gone, as well as some plastic under my car came off.”

“Vehicle is 5 years old and there is rust on the inside lower door hem on three of the 4 doors. It has always been housed in a garage in the evenings and washed with relative frequency. Gm has issued a notice to fix this issue but for vehicles housed in canada only not in the us. It is obvious this is a design flaw that GM is correcting in canada but not the us.”
