Equinox 4-cyl

  • 18,000 miles
In my 2014 Chevrolet Equinox, noontime, Sunday, sitting at red light pointed West, three lane road, waiting to cross 7 lane road, got the green light, proceeded forward up to maybe 10mph and got to about 2nd lane of 7 to cross intersection, then wham, I am hit in the intersection, left side just in front of front wheel, by car that ran red light at full speed going North, basically took front of my car off, spun me 1 3/4 times to now face South, the air bags did not deploy, my body left side head, shoulder and hip hit the left side interior even though my seat beat was on (was dazed and had help getting belt off) and received concussion, neck injury, hearing difficulty, accelerated memory loss issues, damaged shoulder, hip troubles, bouts of unexplained outbursts from little anxiety stimulus, heightened startle response, nightmares, and severe trouble controlling anxiety that were all not present prior to the crash. The car was totaled immediately by the insurance company, and even though witnesses saw that I had the green and that the car that hit me at a 90 degree and estimated to be doing 35-50mph while running the red light, the attorney was unable to block the quick disappear of the vehicle and the police investigators crash site notes and report was very incomplete and wrongly documented the accident. My concern is that I have lingering pains, hip trouble, still low pain left side head, neck tensions, new memory issues, severe anxiety attacks that cause over 220 bp and panic breathing issues, and new struggles with mobility I did not have before the crash, and that with horrific impact that spun me nearly 2 times around, took the front of car, declared total loss -- why did none of air bags go off in this 2014 Chevrolet Equinox this accident crash June 24, 2018 "?" attached 5 pics my vehicle next day +crash sketch +Florida dhsmv crash report me&my car.

Due to the bumper beinv so low it constantly hangs up oncu on curbs. 2 weeks after owning my 2014 Equinox I parked and eent ti to a store. I heard nothing when I parked but as I backed up I heard a scrapping sound. Upon inspection I found the bumper had been stuck on the concrete parking block. Because the whole front is one piece it had pulled away from the light on the passenger side. This piece is attached mainly by little plastic teeth that fit into little plastic squares. The dealership said it would cost $400 to replace the bumper because the little "teeth" had broken off. I could push it together with very little effort. It reminded me of the plastic model cars I used to build.

Chevy Equinox 2014 blew a rear main seal at 88,610 miles after being told is excessively consumes oil. I heard a pop and the low pressure indicator appeared. No indicator was present to show I had low oil at the time of the vehicle leak starting, so I was left stranded on the side of a highway for about 3 hours in -10 degree weather. This was a "common issue" in these models and I was told I must pay 1,800$ to repair it as there are no recalls out on this particular model. The engine completely ate my oil and neglected to inform that it was doing so and it was low, resulting in me being stuck in my car with no heat.

Equinox

I purchased a 2014 Chevrolet Equinox in September 2015. It had 10 miles on it when I bought it right off the showroom floor. The car currently has less than 1700 miles on it because it's parked in the garage 90% of the time. In November 2017 I opened the vent part of the sun roof and heard a loud crack sound. When I tried to close it, it wouldn't close. The dealership stated that it broke because there was dirt in it. It cost me $1,000 to replace the whole mechanism including the window because they don't make parts for it. My question to the dealer and Chevy was 'how does dirt get into a sunroof that is closed all the time" the response has been I don't know. No one can even tell me how to maintain it so this doesn't happen again. I believe that it is either a defect with the sun roof or improper installation at the factory. The new sun roof is made to be more heavy duty but I am concerned that in two years I'll have to replace this also. The customer service person asked if I drive it in areas that there is a lot of dust. The answer was no, but shouldn't it be made to keep dust out" after all, it is on the exterior of the car.
