When I turn off my Chevrolet Equinox and leave the key in the ignition the vehicle attempts to restart itself numerous times. The lights on the dash all come on for a brief moment and you can hear it act like it-€™s going to start but then everything cuts off a second later. This has occurred everytime I turn my vehicle off and do not remove the key. I am always sitting in the vehicle when the key is in the ignition.

Vehicle is burning astronomical amounts of oil, even when car is sitting. Car runs rough and idles and acts as if it will stall out. The ABS and traction control lights have come on. Car acts like it won't start and takes a few times before it actually starts up. Have replaced so many parts and of course at 155,000 miles for a 2010 Equinox we don't qualify under the pending lawsuit. Car is parked because it uses so much oil.
The automotive trouble code P2135 throttle/pedal position sensor/switch A/B voltage correlation refers to a problem related to the throttle's ability to open and close properly.... a throttle position sensor (tps) is situated opposite the throttle linkage connection on the throttle plate. Was driving down the road when an alarm went off on my dash saying a sensor was bad. Next thing the car said losing power to engine and my car started shaking and decelerating.

I bought my used 2010 Chevy Equinox from the dealer, and 2 weeks later the service stabilitrak light came on. Took it to the dealer, they did an alignment and the same day the light came back on with traction control light. The next day I went to the grocery store, and when I tried to start it to leave it wouldn't start. After 2 tries, it finally started but then the reduced engine power light came on and wouldn't go above 25 mph. Eventually the vehicle powered down and I had to pull over for a tow truck to come. The Chevy dealer said it was the main timing chain (not covered) and something else in the engine but I would have to pay for labor to disassemble it. My car has been out of service and sitting at the dealer for now 10 days. Luckily I wasn't on the highway when this happened, and decided to go to the store before heading to work. Carfax reports indicate the timing chain and fuel pump was replaced at 40,000 miles already. I see a lot of people with this problem in much scarier situations. I believe this should be a recall before something happens.
I bought this truck but they are saying they fixed stuff that nobody has touched. Attached will be their recall. And second a photo showing nobody fixed it, little lone touched it for repair. Scamming customers. I cannot get my tires to sync to the vehicle either. Both safety.
I was driving one day and these lights popped on out of no where the exhaust resginator cracking the car constantly has wheel bearing issue and the engine is burning oil it's not doing what it's supposed to do with it.I was driving on the L-90 thruway at 65 mph. I. am also having head light blowing I have changed the headlights 4 times this year
My car started itself when the key was in my pocket and I was at the rear of the car unloading. I do not have a keyless entry or starting feature on my car. I was parked at our community garden and my daughter and I were unloading garden tools, so we were touching the car and felt it when it fired up. It was an underwear changing moment.
Bought a used Chevy Equinox and the manifold cracked, costly repair that I was informed seems to be a recurring safety issue being addressed 10 plus times a month by this center alone. As this seems to be a frequent and known defect that can cause death if not found and fixed I believe that Chevy should acknowledge the safety concern and issue a recall rather than waiting to see people pass away because they can't afford or are unaware of the danger
My check engine light would come on and then turn off after a couple days this happen for a few months and then now it's on permanently I checked with onstar and had them run a test and it says my emissions control system is in trouble I do not understand because I use good fuel I maintain my oriole and my maintenance on my vehicle at all times and it is a fairly new Equinox I should not be having this problem
Car slowed down during driving, I pulled over and tried to change gears; unable to do so, I called the pick up truck, after they checked the car they said the problem was the transmission and I should call the dealer because of the low millage and that the transmission fluid was full.
My 2010 Chevrolet Equinox is burning oil very fast. I have had a mechanic at my work check the oil level every Thursday for the last month and add approximately 1.5 litres every Thursday. My co-worker had the same issue with her Equinox and it was a recall. Her oil was going into her fuel. This is clearly an issue that seems to be reoccurring. Before realizing that the oil was an issue, my car would automatically shut off while driving- sometimes in the middle of the intersection.
The heat and air will not work for long and short periods of time. There is a ticking sound, but the heat or air won't work. Periodically the screen of the radio will go off and remain that way until the heat or air decides to work again. It's hard to drive in the rain, and I will have to roll the windows down to clear the fog from the windshield. This has happened over the course of a year.
I filed a complaint 4 days ago #11182292. I've contacted GM and they have no recall on my specific vehicle. There was a recall #090298 done for the exact problem I'm experiencing. Neither the dealer nor GM seems willing to include my car in this recall. I'm a senior citizen living on a fixed income. I'm taking the car to the dealer for diagnosis today. I'm asking for help paying for this if it is diagnosed with the same problem as the vehicles that were recalled. All the items listed on that particular recall # are identical type identical to what I'm experiencing. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated in this matter.
The climate control system intermittently blows either high heat or no heat at all. I found a safety recall # 090298 for this specific problem and called my dealer. They have no recall for this and won't fix it for no cost unless they can find a recall! if you need more information please advise. Thank you in advance for your assistance. This happens of course when in motion no matter what type of street or highway I'm on.
A year after I purchased my used Equinox my water pump went out. While at the dealership they realize that my opinions have been worn and my timing chain needed to be replaced. Less than 6 months after my engine light popped on.. this car has been unreliable almost the whole time I've owned it. Last March I replace the timing chain again. After much research I realize that my timing chain keeps getting destroyed because the high pressure fuel pump is leaking gas into my crankcase. Chevy has put out a recall for my make and model vehicle but my VIN is not listed. I'm not sure why it wouldn't be listed especially since I am experiencing the same symptoms that is listed in the bulletin.
January 8th it was raining really heavy and I was on my way to work while I was driving down a busy city street to work the windshield wipers just suddenly stopped. Also right after I've gotten my car my car was making a loud noise I took it to the shop and they told me there's a crack in the exhaust both of these problems he said are very common in all the Equinox and they actually have a recall for this problem with the 2013 Chevy Equinox
