2013 Chevrolet Equinox

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS IN. I HAD ONSTAR RUN A VEHICLE DIAGNOSTIC AND THE CODE BACK AS A P00013. THEN I HAD REILLY'S AUTO PART RUN A DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY CAME BACK WITH CODES P00013 AND P00011 FOR THE CAMSHAFT SENSORS. I'VE TALKED TO OTHERS THAT OWN OR HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE AND THEY ALL HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE GAS FUMES BACKING UP INTO THE CAR WHEN I TURN THE AIR THAT IS DANGEROUS CHOKING AND GIVES ME A HEADACHE. I HAVE TO RUN THE AC SYSTEM OFF AS SOON AS THE FUMES START. IT'S SUMMER AND HIT SO I HAVE TO RIDE WITH THE WIDOWS DOWN BUT THAT'S NOT HELPING. BUT THAT'S TRULY BESIDES THE POINT. HAS BACKING UP IN THE VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS AND MANY EQUINOX OWNERS ARE HAVING PROBLEMS OR CHEVY OWNERS IN GENERAL ARE HAVE CONTINUED PROBLEMS WITH THIS. WHY IS THERE NOT A REPAIR FOR THIS ISSUE? I LOVE MY CHEVY BUT HATE THIS ISSUE. I HAVE ANOTHER MECHANIC COMING BY TODAY TO RUN A MORE THOROUGH COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC THAT SAID THIS MAYBE A 1200 TO 1300 FIX BECAUSE IN HIS EXPERIENCE REPLACING THE CAMSHAFTS HAVEN'T STOPPED THE VEHICLE FROM HAVING AN ISSUE FROM OTHER VEHICLES HE HAVE WORKED WITH IN THE PASS. GAS FUMES ARE RELEASED IN THE CAR AS SOON AS THE AC IS TURNED ON BUT THEY START AS SOON AS THE CAR IS STARTED.

TAKATA RECALL, INTERMITTENTLY WHEN STARTING THE CAR THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL COME ON, THIS STARTED AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES. USUALLY IF THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE MESSAGE WILL DISAPPEAR. OCCASIONALLY, WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION THE MESSAGE WILL APPEAR. IT USUALLY CLEARS IF THE CAR IS STOPPED AND RESTARTED. UNTIL I STARTED RESEARCHING, I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST AN ELECTRICAL GLITCH. NOW I REALIZE IT'S A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. THANK GOD, I HAVEN'T HAD A MAJOR COLLISION, MY AIRBAGS MIGHT NOT DEPLOY. THIS YEAR MODEL SHOULD DEFINITELY BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MY CAR NOW HAS 95,000 MILES ON IT. I DON'T EVEN FEEL COMFORTABLE SELLING THIS CAR WITH THESE ISSUES. I WOULDN'T WANT TO ENDANGER OTHER FAMILIES.

THE VEHICLE HAS HAD A RANDOM BUCKING MOTION (AS IF YOU RAN SOMETHING OVER) SINCE I PURCHASED. THE GARAGE SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING. IT HAS MANIFESTED TO A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHUTTING DOWN, OIL CONSUMPTION BEYOND (2.5 QTS) IN TWO WEEKS. ALL I AM TOLD IS THAT THIS IS KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE EQUINOX AND IT IS PROBABLY THE PISTONS, THE CAM SENSOR AND LIKELY $3-4,000 TO REPAIR. HOW IS IT, THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND WE AS CONSUMERS HAVE TO PAY TWICE TO OWN THEIR PRODUCT? SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING, WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS, OIL LOW WITHOUT WARNING LIGHTS... NOT A SAFETY ISSUE??? GM, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? NO INTEGRITY, THAT'S FOR SURE. FROM THE VOLUME OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS, WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL. GM CLEARLY MESSED UP ON THIS ONE. DONE VENTING AS THIS WON'T PAY FOR A NEW CAR. DON'T BUY AN EQUINOX!
