Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“First off, sometimes my vehicle when in park acts like it may turn off, but doesn't. Can hear/feel the vibrations like its about to. Secondly, the main reason I'm on this page, the A/C. It just stopped working out of the blue and making a noise. I take it in and told the condenser has a leak and needs replaced as well as the condenser which is making the noise. Wow, quoted from one place $1,084 the other place I only got a quote on the condenser of $424.. No telling what the compressor will be. …”
NHTSA complaint #10565020, filed 2014-02, 50,000 miles“In september 2011, six weeks after purchasing my 2011 chevy Equinox, I was rear-ended by a heavy-duty pickup truck. I was so rattled by the collision that I forgot that I had onstar. The other driver used his cell phone to call the police. I received minor injuries during the accident. A few days later I told my husband that I thought it was strange that onstar did not contact me right after the collision. He called onstar and told them what happened. …”
NHTSA complaint #10434389, filed 2011-11, 1,600 miles“The air conditioner stopped working completely, Chevrolet is trying to charge us 100-200$ but we have an extended warranty with the vehicle, not sure if what they are doing is legal, can they really charge to repair something that is still under warranty? I think the air conditioner malfunction is a symptom of a much greater problem, I.e. Electrical problems with the engine or computers onboard the car. Onstar says several things have been recalled on the car, but the government recall site has none of those items listed.”
NHTSA complaint #10461742, filed 2012-06, 24,000 miles“First time owner of this vehicle. The end of june, 2014 began noticing that the GPS would not save destinations when traveling, would have to reenter address anytime the ignition was turned off and back on. Shortly after this, the clock stopped working, when the time was corrected, if would reset after ignition was turned off and back on to the incorrect time. The bluetooth also began randomly disconnecting and would not connect anymore. Sept. 24th, the vehicle was brought to dealership where purchased to see what was wrong. …”
