2005 Chevrolet Equinox

SEAT BELT LIGHT IS ON WHEN DRIVER IS BUCKLED, ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, REPLACED BRAKES AND FRONT DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL BEARING, BEARING WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED 3/2014. HAVE HAD TO REPLACE WHEEL BEARINGS AND STRUTS IN THE FRONT ABOUT EVERY 6 MONTHS. JUST REPLACED FRONT PASSENGER SIDE IN 3/2015. TODAY SAME NOISE COMING FROM FRONT END, NEED FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BEARING REPLACED AFTER 2 MONTHS.

I WENT TO GET MY INSPECTION STICKER AND RECEIVED AN SAFETY/EMISSIONS RECALL SHEET OF PAPER INDICATING THAT I MIGHT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS DEFECT NUMBER: 2529, ENGINE FAMILY:5GMXV02.2025, EMISSION PROBLEM: SOME ENGINE CONTROL MODULES OR POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULES HAVE POTENTIALLY DAMAGED INTEGRATED CIRCUITS. THIS MAY CAUSE THE EGR SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION OR CAUSE THE FUEL PUMP TO TURN OFF OR THE TURBO SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT A MECHANIC HAS TOLD ME ABOUT THE EGR SYSTEM. IF YOU COULD PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND IF IT IS COVERED OR IF I CAN GET IT REPAIRED AT NO COST TO ME. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 1 YEAR SINCE MARCH 1, 2014. I'M THE SECOND OWNER. *TR

A LOUD POP OCCURRED DURING OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND THEN A NOTICEABLE CHANGE IN THE SUSPENSION WAS FELT. IN TESTING THE VEHICLES ABILITY TO TRAVEL TO A REPAIR CENTER THE BRAKE PEDDLE WOULD DROP TO THE FLOOR AS IF IT LOST COMPRESSION. THIS OCCURRED AFTER CAREFULLY OBSERVING THE TROUBLESOME BEHAVIOR OF THE TURNING CAPABILITIES AND SUSPENSION OF THE TIRES. IT SEEMED TO MAKE AN AWFUL GRINDING NOISE WHEN MAKING RIGHT TURNS BUT NOT LEFT TURNS. PREVIOUSLY BEFORE THESE PROBLEMS AROSE, THE APPARENT ISSUE OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND ITS FUNCTIONING PARTS(POWER DOORS, WINDOWS ETC.) WERE MALFUNCTIONING, INCLUDING THE RADIO. AT THE INITIAL PURCHASE OF THE CAR THE ONLY SEEMINGLY HARMLESS THING TO MIND WAS THE STICKING OF THE IGNITION SWITCH AT TIMES. TO DATE, THE CAR IS NOT ABLE TO REVERSE FROM PARKING POSITION, AND HAS A NEW ISSUE OF LOCKING UP TOTALLY AND NOT ABLE TO ENGAGE FORWARD. THE CAR IS NOT ABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND WHEN SEARCHING FOR CHEAPER INSURANCE (BYVIN) WE WERE IMMEDIATELY, UNDER NO UNCERTAIN TERMS ALERTED THAT THE CAR WAS UNFIT TO BE INSURED. THIS WAS TOLD AND SENT IN WRITTEN FORM TO US FROM A REPUTABLE INSURANCE AGENCY. *TR

I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH CHEVROLET ON THIS. THIS AUTO HAS A BRANDED TITLE AND HAS A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. THE KEY COMES OUT WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING. WE DID NOT OWN THE CAR WHEN IT WAS DAMAGED SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED THAT ACCIDENT. I DO KNOW THAT THERE WAS VERY LITTLE DAMAGE TO IT. THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY WON'T COVER REPLACEMENT OF THE SWITCH BECAUSE IT HAS A BRANDED TITLE. I FEEL THIS SAYS THAT MY LIFE IS NOT AS IMPORTANT AND THE PERSON WITH A NEW VEHICLE. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A CHEVROLET PERSON AND HAVE HAD BRAND NEW ONES SO THIS IS VERY DISAPPOINTING TO ME. CAN ANYTHING BE DONE ABOUT THIS? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO INDICATED THE A COMPUTER IN THE ENGINE MALFUNCTIONED. NO FURTHER INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.
