2020 Chevrolet Equinox

I WAS HIT BY A CHEVROLET AVALANCHE ON MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND FRONT/SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 60 AND THE ROADS WERE ICY AND SNOWY. I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35MPH AND THE OTHER VEHICLE MUST HAVE BEEN GOING AT LEAST 55-60MPH. THE POLICE REPORT STATED THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS DRIVING TOO FAST FOR ROAD CONDITIONS. MY SIDE AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY AND I SUFFERED A CONCUSSION AND HAVE ADDITIONAL INJURIES DUE TO THE IMPACT. DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE ACCIDENT AND LOCATION OF THE IMPACT I FEEL MY AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. SO FAR THE ESTIMATE ON MY VEHICLE DAMAGES IS ANYWHERE FROM 10-15K.

WHEN WE BOUGHT THE 2020 EQUINOX ON JANUARY 20, 2020 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEY KEPT IT 2 DAYS DIAGNOSING IT AND IT SAID A FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD US THAT THEY CONTACTED GM ENGINEERS WHO WERE LOOKING INTO IT AND TO GO AHEAD AND DRIVE IT WITH THE LIGHT ON TILL THEY GOT BACK WITH US. IT HAS CONTINUED TO STAY ON I HAD THE CODE READ AGAIN AND IT IS A P2365 FUEL PUMP A LOW FLOW/PERFORMANCE CODE. I DO NOT LIKE DRIVING IT WITH THE LIGHT ON, THE DEALERSHIP TELLING ME TO, NOT HEARING ANYTHING BACK FROM THEM, THE REMOTE START WILL NOT WORK WITH THE LIGHT ON WHICH IS A MAIN REASON WE BOUGHT IT.

DRIVING 75 MILES PER HOUR ON INTERSTATE WHILE PASSING TWO VEHICLES AND ONE CAR BEHIND ME THE CAR MADE A DINGING NOISE, THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE NOT AVAILABLE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE CAR DECELERATED CAUSING THE CAR BEHIND ME TO HAVE TO BRAKE. IF I HAD NOT STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR BEHIND MAY HAVE HIT ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON FOUR DIFFERENT DATES AND ON ONE TRIP IT HAPPENED 8 TIMES IN 80 MILES. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT COULD CAUSE REAR END COLLISION AT HIGH SPEED. THE REPAIR SHOP AT MY CHEVY DEALER IN TOWN SAYS THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES AND THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE IS WORKING AS DESIGNED. IS I GET HIT FROM BEHIND AT HIGH SPEED THIS COULD EASILY CAUSE A DEVASTATING CRASH. I DO NOT TRUST THIS CAR OR THE RESPONSES I AM GETTING FROM THE DEALER. THEY SAY NO ONE HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS BUT I KIND FIND SITES WHERE PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM.

MY 2020 EQUINOX HAS DEVELOPED A SHAKE/SHIMMY VIBRATION WHEN ACCELERATING BETWEEN 30 AND 45 MPH. WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THE VIBRATION IT WAS SLIGHT AND DID NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT WITH MORE MILAGE NOW AT 5309 MILES, IT HAS BECOME MORE NOTICEABLE ENOUGH, THAT MY WIFE AND I DO NOT FEEL AS IF THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. TWO DAYS AGO WHILE ACCELERATING UP A HILL THE CAR SHIMMIED AND A FLUTTERING SOUND WAS HEARD FROM UNDER THE CONSOLE; IT HAPPENED TWICE WHILE GOING UP THE HILL. UPON RETURNING HOME I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT RIVERVIEW CHEVROLET AND HAD A TECHNICIAN RIDE WITH ME. WHILE RIDING, THE TECH. SAID HE FELT THE VIBRATION BUT COULD NOT TELL ME WHAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM OR HOW TO ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM. UPON RETURNING TO THE GARAGE I TALKED TO THE SERVICE WRITE UP PERSON AND HE SAID TO, "CALL ALL HIM IN 10 DAYS!!!!!."

I PURCHASED THE 2020 EQUINOX SUV. IMMEDIATELY LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP AFTER A HEAVY RAIN THE SUV WASN'T ABLE TO STOP WHEN I APPLIED THE BREAKS & APPROACHED A STOP SIGN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND I WAS STRUCK ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR. I WOKE UP IN A TRAUMA CENTER IN SPRINGFIELD MO. THE VEHICLE HAD 84 MILES ON IT. $17,500 IN DAMAGE NOT INCLUDING SERIOUS INJURIES NOT JUST TO MYSELF BUT THE CAR THAT STRUCK ME. I WAS ALSO SITED A TICKET FROM THE MISSOURI HIGHWAY PATROL FOR FAILURE TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN, THOUGH I APPLIED THE BREAKS WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE BREAKS IN WET/COLD CLIMATES. IT'S TERRIFYING

AS THIS CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN DOWN THE HIGHWAY, ABOUT 10 MINUTES INTO MY DRIVE, SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM THE VEHICLE, I PULLED OVER, A PASSER BY RAN OVER TO ME TELLING ME TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE THAT FLAMES WERE SHOOTING OUT OF THE BOTTOM. AS SOON AS I EXITED THE CAR, THE ENTIRE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE ENTIRE CAR WAS BURNED TO THE GROUND. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. GM REFUSED TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE OR TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY.

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AROUND 75MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLY. WHILE I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL AND CONTINUE ON AFTER SLOWING DOWN, IT WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING OCCURRENCE. IT SEEMS TO BE A PREVALENT PROBLEM WITH GM CARS AS AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED LOTS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS "CHEVY SHAKE."

STARTING OCTOBER 26, 2020 I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING MY CAR RADIO SHUTTING OFF AND TURNING BACK ON. WHEN THE RADIO RANDOMLY TURNS OFF, IT DISCONNECTS MY BLUETOOTH AND MUSIC STOPS PLAYING. TODAY ALONE I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE HAPPEN TO ME 7 TIMES IN A MATTER OF 35 MINUTES. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE, BUT I WOULD LIKE A RESOLUTION CONSIDERING THAT I"M THE FIRST OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND IT'S STILL BRAND NEW.
