2008 Chevrolet Equinox

DOOR LOCKS ON ALL 4 SWINGING DOORS ACT INCONSISTENTLY. WHEN LOCKING VALUABLE ITEMS WITH THE REMOTE, ONLY SOME OF THE DOORS WOULD LOCK. VERY DANGEROUS AND I SEE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. WIFE DOESN'T ON FEEL SAFE IF SHE NEED TO GET IN HER CAR AND LOCK THE DOORS ONLY TO FIND 2 OF THE DOORS DID NOT LOCK. *TR

THIS CAR HAS BEEN A LEMON SINCE I GOT HER. SHE HAS HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS FROM STEREO, BRAKES, MOTOR AND NOW THE GAS TANKS LEAKS. WE HAD RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER MONTHS AGO STATING THAT THIS WAS A RECALL BUT IF YOU DO NOT SMELL FUEL, THEN DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. WELL, NOW WE DO AND I HAVE CALLED GM AND WAS TOLD THAT THEIR SYSTEM WAS DOWN AND THAT THEY WOULD CALL US BACK. THEY ALSO TOLD US THAT WITHOUT THE RECALL LETTER THEY COULDN'T HELP US. I AM LOOKING FOR THE LETTER BUT SHOULDN'T THEY HAVE THIS ON RECORD? THAT WAS OVER A WEEK AGO AND STILL NO ANSWER. WE HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND STILL NO RESPONSE. WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO TO GET SOME ANSWERS? *TR

1.)THIS MORNING, I STARTED MY CAR, IT STALLED OUT, LIKE IT DID NOT WANT TO START. I SWEPT THAT UNDER THE RUG. AFTER WORK, I STARTED MY CAR AND IT STALLED AGAIN WHILE TRYING TO START. AS A MATTER OF FACT IT WAS AS IF SOMEONE HAD GOTTEN UNDER THE HOOD AND DISCONNECTED/RECONNECTED MY BATTERY. I HAD TO RESET MY CLOCK AND RADIO STATIONS.2.)ALSO, WHILE I AM COMPLAINING, I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE MY BRAKE LIGHTS AT LEAST 4 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY JUST SAID "YOU DO KNOW YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE BULBS EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE"---YES! BUT NOT SEVERAL TIMES IN ONE YEAR. 3.)THERE IS ALSO MOISTURE IN THE HEADLIGHTS--EVEN AFTER THE DEALERSHIP "FIXING IT". 4.) MY KEY FOB DOES NOT LOCK THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. (SOMETIMES THEY LOCK, SOMETIMES THEY DON'T. I HAVE READ SOME OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS, BUT YET THERE ARE NO RECALLS. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? *TR

WIFE DRIVING CAR AT SLOW SPEED IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD (APPROX. 20 MPH); STEERING BECAME VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE, SEVERE FRONT END VIBRATION, AND STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON. CLEARED UP AFTER ABOUT 3 MINUTES. WAS DRIVEN LATER TODAY WITH NO PROBLEM RECURRENCE. HAD THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED IN TRAFFIC OR AT HIGHER SPEED, IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR
