2019 Chevrolet Equinox UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Symptoms started, changing gears while driving, delayed start at lights on a slant, stalled acceleration on interstate from slowspeed ——-took it in and they said the accumulator is bad and has likely messed up the transmission. They recommended a new transmission for $7000+. Researched and found many 2019s had been recalled for this issue, in 2022, but this one was not. I am wondering why it was not, because now I have a bad transmission at 150,000 miles. Why was this vin not recalled in 2022.

I have a leak somewhere inside the car. Every time it rains I have water under the cargo area, that I have to vacuum water out. ( where the spare tire is) I don't know where its coming in at. I don't feel like vehicles that cost as much as they do should have major problems like this and now because of this my moon roof no longer works. Thank you for your time

I was following my usual routine with my young child. I unlocked the vehicle, secured him in his car seat, then placed my bag (containing the key fob) inside the vehicle. I then closed the door and walked to the driver’s side to enter the car—as I do daily. However, when I reached for the door, every door was locked—including the trunk—and the vehicle would not respond to any button pressing, handle pulling, or proximity unlocking. My child was locked inside the car on a 92-degree day with no way for me to gain access. I immediately called emergency services. Both police and fire arrived quickly, but due to the design of the locking system and the placement of the lock buttons, they were unable to use their unlocking tools. Ultimately, they had no choice but to shatter a window to rescue my child, who had been trapped for 25 minutes in extreme heat. This malfunction could have led to serious injury or worse. I’m extremely shaken and concerned that this happened at all—especially considering I had the key fob in the vehicle and never manually locked the doors.

Transmission is slipping when I accelerate the car is only 5 years old

The radio volume changes up and down while driving making it very difficult to hear and concentrate on the road. I've called the dealer and been told to check for recalls and no recall exist for the radio.

My car is lunging forward when I stop at a traffic light once I let my foot off of the brake to step onto the gas pedal. My engine light happened to come on to coincide with this problem. I feel that this is unsafe.

Both rear view mirrors in my Equinox change position everytime i get into the car. It doesnt matter how many times you do the preset, it will have one mirror looking at the sky and the other the ground. GM calls it a non problem but I have almost got into several collisions because I didnt realize my mirrors were messed up.

Sunroof glass "exploded". Sounded like tire blew out. Scaring me into almost a panic situation. Dealer said they never heard of this. Have not gone to insurance yet. No warning signs.

Sometimes it will go to auto stop but instead completely shut down with no power or anything. You can do anything at all

We believe that there is a serious issue with the HVAC of this vehicle. My wife actually noticed it soon after buying the vehicle. I wasn't quite sure what it was. Anyway, on August 15, 2021 we drove to visit family and the strong odor of freon or something got so bad that my eyes were burning and began to cough. I took the vehicle to my local dealer and explained the problem. I left the vehicle and the service person called me to say that there was nothing wrong. They did a diagnostic of the vehicle and it came back fine. He mentioned that they is a "Service Bulletin" on 2019 Chevrolet Equinox that stated owners may complain of a strong chemical smell inside the vehicle. He stated that GM said that there is no fix for the problem. This is unacceptable since my wife has allergies and asthma. If this chemical smell is harmful, they should recall all the vehicles affected and correct the problem. It seemed to me that GM's attitude was "tough, live with it". There needs to be further investigation into this by our government and should force GM to correct this problem. I am waiting to hear more from the dealership regarding this problem today. I don't expect to hear anything different than what they told me yesterday, (August 17).

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT (STATIONARY) IN A DRIVEWAY. IN THE MORNING, THERE WAS A LARGE CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD. I WAS NOT A PARTICULARLY COLD NIGHT (FLORIDA). I DO NOT KNOW THE FAULT THAT CAUSED THE CRACK. IT COULD BE FAULTY TEMPERING, FAULTY INSTALLATION, OR SOMETHING ELSE. IT IS UNLIKELY FOR A WINDSHIELD TO SPONTANEOUSLY CRACK IN A MODERN CAR WITHOUT A FAULT.

TWO WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED THE BRAND NEW CAR IT STARTED ACTING UP MAKING LOUD SCREECHING NOISES, AND TURNING OFF ON ITS OWN. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEIR WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. TOOM IT IN 4 TIMES AND YET NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR ACCORDING TO THEM IT WAS ME. FINALLY THEY HAD TO TOW THE CAR BECAUSE IT TURNED OFF ON ME GOOD THING I WAS BARELY LEAVING MY HOME AND IT'S NOW BEEN 8 MONTHS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THE CAR IT'S JUST SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY IT TURNS OFF ON IT'S OWN. THEY DENIED ME A RENTAL CAR BECAUSE THE CAR WAS DEEMED SAFE BUT YET THE CAR HAS TURNED OFF ON THEM BUT STILL IT IS SAFE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO OR WHO TO ASK FOR HELP BUT NEITJER GM NOR CHEVROLET WANT TO SOLVE THIS. THEY SAY IT'S A BUY BACK BUT YET NO ONE IS WILLING TO GIVE ME ANY OTHER INFORMATION.

AT SEEMINGLY RANDOM TIMES THE VEHICLE'S CAMERAS STOP WORKING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND THE VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE GEAR, A BLUE SCREEN WITH THE MESSAGE ' SERVICE REAR VISION SYSTEM' APPEARS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT OCCURRED WHILE THERE. I CONSIDER THIS PROBLEM A SAFETY HAZARD. NONE OF THE CAMERAS FUNCTION WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS. I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IMPACTS OTHER SAFETY FEATURES ON THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR MOVING SLOWLY FORWARDS OR BACKWARDS.

IN A 2019 EQUINOX WITH DRIVER PACKAGES I AND II INSTALLED, HAVING A BIKE RACK INSTALLED ON THE FACTORY INSTALLED HITCH, REAR CROSS TRAFFIC AND FORWARD AND REAR ASSIST SAFETY OPTIONS ARE DISABLED. CHEVROLET SERVICE CLAIMS THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT EQUIPED WITH FRONT PARK ASSIST, EVEN THOUGH IT IS INCLUDED IN DRIVER PACKAGE II. THE USER MANUAL DOES NOT EXPLICITYLY STATE THAT THESE SAFETY FEATURES ARE DISABLED IF A BIKE RACK IS INSTALLED. IT SEEMS ILLOGICAL THAT A BIKE RACK WOULD DISABLE THE SENSORS ON THE FRONT AND SIDES OF THE CAR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE...TO DISABLE KEY SAFETY FEATURES, JUST BECAUSE THERE IS A BIKE RACK INSTALLED. GM SHOULD BE MORE EXPLICIT AND WARN ITS CUSTOMERS OF THIS SAFETY FAILURE.

EXCESSIVE VIBRATION INTERIOR WHEN REAR WINDOWS ARE OPEN AND DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 55MPH. DOES NOT TAKE OFF SMOOTHLY WHEN STOPPED OR SLOWED FOR TRAFFIC. I HAVE BEEN TO DEALERSHIP FOR AIR LEAKS IN INTERIOR AND NO IMPROVEMENT WAS MADE.

CAMERAS DO NOT WORK PART OF TIME. BACKUP CAMERA SHOWS BLUE SCREEN WHEN NOT WORKING AND SAYS SERVICE REAR VISION SYSTEM. FORWARD CAMERAS ONLY SHOW BLUE SCREEN. BY TIME VEHICLE IS AT DEALER CAMERAS ARE WORKING AND NOTHING SHOWS A PROBLEM. NOTHING SPECIFIC MAKES THE PROBLEM HAPPEN AND NOTHING SPECIFIC MAKES IT GO AWAY. THE PROBLEM IS RANDOM, BUT SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES SITUATIONAL AWARENESS.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE FROM WORK TO HOME, THE CONTROLS ON MY STEERING WHEEL FOR MY STEREO STOPPED WORKING. THE VOLUME STARTED GOING UP AND DOWN AND THE CHANNELS STARTED CHANGING. I TURNED MY RADIO OFF AND BACK ON AND IT IMMEDIATELY CONTINUED. I CALLED ONSTAR AND ASKED THEM IF THEY COULD DETERMINE IF ANYONE WAS REMOTELY CONTROLLING MY RADIO AND SHE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD NO WAY TO DETERMINE THAT AND I WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT MY DEALER. I DISCONNECTED MY PHONE FROM MY CAR, TURNED OFF THE WIFI AND BLUETOOTH SETTINGS ON MY PHONE AND THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUED DRIVING HOME. THE VOLUME CHANGED A FEW MORE TIMES AND WHEN I GOT HOME I SHUT MY CAR OFF. I HAD TO DRIVE IT AGAIN ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER BUT NOTHING HAPPENED THAT TIME. I DROVE ABOUT 20 MILES WHILE DEALING WITH THE RADIO GOING CRAZY THE WHOLE TIME.

EXCESSIVE VIBRATION IN INTERIOR OF VEHICLE WHEN REAR WINDOWS ARE DOWN AT SPEED OF 55MPH OR MORE. ALSO DOES NOT TAKE OFF SMOOTHLY WHEN STOPPED OR SLOWED FOR TRAFFIC.

I FOUND THAT THIS MODEL CAR AND OTHER MANUFACTURERS WITH PUSH TO START AND STOP CAN BE TURNED OFF IN ANY GEAR AND YOU CAN WALK AWAY FROM THE CAR WITH OUT AN ALARM OR ANY NOTIFICATION. I HAVE SEEN CARS ROLL WHEN LEFT ON A SLOPE. KEY IGNITION CARS DON'T LET YOU REMOVE THE KEYS WHEN THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK.
