I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2006 CHEVROLET EQUINOX AND THE FLOORBOARD IS STAYING WET, LIKE STANDING WATER. I'VE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND IT APPEARS THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THEM. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT MAKES IT FEET WET AND SLIP OFF THE BREAK AND GAS PEDDLES. WHY HASNT GM FIXED THIS? NOT TO COUNT THE ELECTRICAL PART INVOLVED! CAN WE SAY FIRE HAZARD?? COME ON GM, DO YOUR JOB!

IN APRIL OF 2015 I PURCHASED A 2006 CHEVY EQUINOX FROM SID DILLION CHEVY DEALERSHIP. APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE IT RAINED AND WATER HAD LEAKED INTO DRIVER SIDE FLOOR BOARD. WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE IT STARTED BUT THERE WAS NO ACLERATION AND THE CAR WOULDN'T DRIVE WHEN PUT IN GEAR. I INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INSTRUCTED TO BRING THE VECHICAL BACK OUT THE DEALERSHIP TO BE LOOKED AT. IN FINDING THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS SUNROOF DRAIN THAT BACKUP AND LEAKED WATER INTO MY DRIVER SIDE FLOOR BOARD, ALSO LEAKING WATER ON TO THE THROTTLE SENSOR WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE GAS PEDAL. THEY INFORMED ME THAT DRAIN HAD BEEN BLOWN OUT AND THE ERROR CODE WAS RESET AND THE VECHICAL RAN AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW MONTHS LATER AND I WAS AGAIN INSTRUCTED TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THIS THE SAME PROCEDURE WAS DONE AS BEFORE AND I ASKED WHAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND WAS INFORMED THAT DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE SUNROOFS DRAIN, WHEN IT RAINS I WILL HAVE WATER THAT LEAKS INTO VECHICAL IF THERE IS LARGE AMOUNTS OF RAIN AND THAT BECAUSE THERE ARE NO BROKEN PARTS THE PROBLEM CAN NOT BE FIXED. I INFORMED CHEVROLET MAIN CENTER OF THE ISSUE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY RECALLS ON THE VECHICAL AND TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED. I'VE TAKEN PREVENTIVE MEASURES BUT KEEPING THE DRIAN CLEARED AND WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENS RESETTING THE ERROR CODES, BUT LAST WEEK 06-07-18 I HAD THE LINE CLEARED AND THE FOLLOWING DAY IT RAINED AND THE THROTTLE SENSOR ERRORED RESET THE CODE AND VECHICAL RAN. YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING I GOT CAUGHT IN HEAVY RAINFALL THE VECHICAL COMPLETELY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A 4 LANE BUSY ROAD AND WOULD NOT MOVE, WATER BEGAN LEAKING INTO THE DRIVER SIDE AND ALSO FROM THE PEDAL AND INTIOR LIGHTS. I'M VERY FEARFUL OF DRIVING THE VECHICAL. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE.

WITHIN THE LAST MONTH WHILE I AM DRIVING MY TRUCK WOULD JUST CUT OFF WITH OUT ANY WARNING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD A TUNE UP, THE LEFT WHEEL BARRING CHANGED, FRONT STRUTS DONE AND I HAVE JUST BROUGHT A PCM. MY ABS AND TC LIGHTS STAYS ON AND MY MECHANIC CAN NOT EXPLAIN WHY IT KEEPS CUTTING OFF. I HAVE CHECKED FOR RECALLS FOR THIS YEAR AND THERE ARE NONE LISTED; HOWEVER, I HAVE SEEN SOME ON THE NHTSA SERVICE BULLETIN. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ASSIST ME THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!!!!
