Example complaints

“While driving, when trying to center the car in the lane I am driving in, the steering wheel sticks. It is for just a spilt second but nonetheless, it is sticking. Also, the car detection light on the drivers side mirror (car in your blind spot) stays on. Also get a message that says service side detection system dealer says no error shows up for them.”
NHTSA complaint #11165295, filed 2019-01, 12,899 miles“On many occasions while driving at highway speeds the steering wheel sticks causing me to use extra force to move the wheel. It's bad enough on dry pavement but on wet or snow covered roads it's worst. I have spun out 2 times already even while being cautious, luckily no one was around at the time. This needs to be addressed. There have been a few times that the blind spot monitoring stayed lit when there was no car around as well as at times the light never came on while I was being passed”
NHTSA complaint #11566039, filed 2024-01“I have purchased a 2018 Chevy equinox. It was damaged on the back bumper (rebuilt title). The backup camera works fine but there is a side detection error that comes on everytime I start the vehicle. The shop replaced the entire harness however that did not fix the issue. I have read 1000's of complaints on this. My vehicle has 45000 miles. This is effecting my gas mileage as well as other safety features. I see this has been an issue in MANY GM models and it has been taken care ( special warranty) but not on a 2018 equinox as of yet. …”
