2016 Chevrolet Equinox Brakes Problems

“I purchased a pre certified vehicle on 3/22/19 and started having problems 12 days from purchase date. The problems that have occurred are: loud crank like noise coming from right front passenger side, vibration at high speeds and vehicle pulls to the left during acceleration and braking. Chevy has replaced the right front caliper twice, said my tires were defected so I purchased 4 brand new ones, performed 3 road force balances and 2 alignments on new tires, replaced propeller shaft and replaced high pressure power steering hose. My vehicle is still not fixed after all the repairs.”

I was immediately shocked with disbelief that my vehicle slightly impacted with the vehicle ahead of me instead of stopping 5 or 10 feet before that vehicle. …”

“On october 1, my mother (passenger) and I were involved in a roll back accident at my apartment complex. I put the vehicle in park and exited the vehicle.

Upon opening the driver's door, the vehicle began to roll back, even though the car was in park. I was caught between the vehicle door, with half of my body/extremities (the right side) in the cabin, and my left extremities outside of the vehicle. I was dragged 10-15 feet. …”

“Backing down a steep driveway with my foot on the brake working fine the first several seconds then the brake pedal went down to the floor and car rolled across a busy street jumping the curb and hitting a telephone pole and fence. No person or vehicle nor my vehicle was hit fortunately. A police report was filed. The rental company brought me a newer Equinox and the day after while backing out of parking space in hotel garage applying brakes the brake went to floor hitting wall as I put gear to neutral and then into park but it had already hit the wall.”
