2015 Chevrolet Equinox Other Problems

When I was driving down the street, I noticed smoke coming from the hood then flames . I parked off to the side of the road and open the door and took off running away from the vehicle. Loosing everything clothes, phones , jewelry important documents.

I have a 2015 Chevy equinox LS. I have had 4 incidents recently of when coming to a stop the car dies. this has happened at red lights and stop signs.

Check engine light came on. Took to dealership yesterday. Found that rodents had eaten through wire to oxygen sensor causing it to arch.

Sunroof problems, I was driving down the interstate. It was a nice day about 73 degrees with nobody around the vehicle and suddenly I heard a loud noise (sounded like a shotgun going off). I investigated by opening the sunroof sunshade and could see the sunroof had shattered upwards.

The tail gait window exploded from no reason. It had been sitting in son at work and cracked into thousands of little pieces with a 2 foot by 8 inch section exploding and living a hole. My dealer, dale earnhardt gmc tallahassee fl, refuses to do anything saying it is not a gm problem.

On 11/28/2014 I was driving south on I-49 to shreveport, la during a light rain. Driving our 2015 equinox lt at 65 MPH in cruise control and eco drive with about 6,000 miles on the vehicle. On level ground with no vehicles in front for miles our fontal crash alert system came on with the warning noise and a strong application of the braking system.

The car was in park & I was sitting in it on the top of my driveway. I was about to open the door when it started to roll backwards while still in park. It started to pick up speed & did not stop until it hit a tree.

Traveling with cruise control set to 40 MPH on a 2 lane road the collision alert went off, beeping and the brakes were applied hard enough to feel the stutter of the anti lock system. This was the second time, the first time no cruise was being used. I had to apply the brake pedal to gain control again.

Vehicle stalled out at a stoplight, no warning lights or errors. Brought to dealership for service, where they found the cam shaft actuator solenoid control valve wasn’t working, and had to be replaced. Looking online, saw others having the same issue with this particular car (and a history of recall for the same issue on an older model) and so decided to submit a report.

While driving car starts to sputter and stalls, just shuts off, both on city streets and highway. While going 70 MPH it just stopped. We were lucky no one was driving right behind us or we would have been plowed over.

On 4-14-29 my car stalled while driving multiple times. I had it taken in to a gm dealership on 4-15-19 and they stated that there was an engine oil consumption issue thru the piston rings that has caused extensive damage. There proposal was either a $3500 fix or a new engine for $7000.

My car is stalling while I'm driving at low speeds on the city streets and when I'm idling at stop lights. It's idling very rough to where my car is shaking.

I own an 2015 equinox lt which I purchased specifically to tow behind a motorhome. We pulled fuse 32 according to the manual (an extra 12-v outlet is required to be installed because the law requires us to have additional braking in the towed). My braking system requires a 12-v outlet and fuse 32 kills the factory installed outlet.

While driving my 2015 Chevrolet Equinox (2.4L Ecotec) in active traffic, the vehicle suffered a sudden, catastrophic loss of oil pressure with no prior warning, displaying a 'Stop Vehicle' message. The sudden loss of engine power created an immediate collision risk. Independent diagnosis confirmed the engine lost all oil. This is a known defect (GM Special Coverage #14882) where a frozen/clogged PCV orifice causes excessive crankcase pressure, blowing out seals (like the rear main seal and VVT solenoids) and dumping the oil. I called GM, who told me I needed the vehicle to be towed to a local dealership (White Allen Chevrolet) refused to perform the GM-mandated Manometer Vacuum Test to confirm the PCV defect, attempting to conceal the root cause of the engine failure. This is the only test I asked them to perform, and I provide my GM case number and the TPS number. This known PCV design flaw creates a sudden, highly dangerous stalling condition at highway speeds. It had been very cold in Dayton for over a week, something known to cause this problem.

I bought a vehicle from a small dealership as a "as is". My passenger side door shifted. Its does not state on the title and I was not told that it was in a accident. I have had this vehicle about a month now. I have a loan against it.

I am submitting this complaint due to a serious mechanical failure involving the vehicle’s transmission system. The transmission developed a fluid leak that resulted in a sudden loss of proper hydraulic pressure, causing abrupt and unintended vehicle movement while driving. This malfunction created a hazardous driving condition and nearly caused an accident. Given that the vehicle has approximately 77,000 miles, this type of transmission failure is premature and raises concerns regarding a potential manufacturing or component defect. Immediate review and corrective action are requested due to the safety implications of this issue.

Stabili Trak needs service every other month and I have had it done over 5 times and am back again getting it serviced. It’s scary especially when it affects the brakes and ABS system

We have had nothing but issues with our Chevrolet equinox. The recall that says it is not fixed is actually fixed!! There was no fix when it malfunctioned in the middle of a rain storm and I had to drive an hour and a half very slowly to get home!

I was driving home after picking up my grandson. He was playing on his iPad, and all of I heard something that sounded like a gun shot. Huge pop noise.

The paint on my car started bubbling and falling off i contacted my local chevy dealer who told me too bad its outside of the warranty , the paint is defective

PCV valve froze forcing pressure to blow the rear main seal while driving. Oil went everywhere yet no engine warning light ever came on, just a strong odor. I did not realize what had happened until I parked and found a puddle of oil trailing me. Fortunately I got it to a mechanic in time before the engine locked. However, GM has posted service bulletins and acknowledges this defect yet has not issued a recall. In terms of safety this could cause you to be stranded in an unsafe location or unsafe conditions such as below freezing temps with no heat while waiting for a tow truck assuming you have cell reception to call one.

I was driving to work and when I stopped at a stop light my vehicle stalled. It started up again and whenI went to park it at work, it stalled again. It started again and did not experience any more stalling after that incidence. No check engine light ever came on, however I decided to have it checked over anyway as I did not think it should be stalling. That is when I had the repairs done.

The wipers stop working during use and wiper transmission or bushings have to be replaced frequently. It had happened in 05/2020 12/20 and now 3/21. Wipers stop working while driving, extremely dangerous.

THE VEHICLE HAS A EXHAUST SMELL IN CABIN. THE FUMES ARE CONCERNING BECAUSE IT'S COULD CAUSE CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND GM SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I REVIEW NUMEROUS FORMS AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. THIS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUES.

Vehicle making a rattling sound for a few days when driving at low speed and stopped when at high rate of speed on all roads. Low oil light never indicated oil was low. It was still at 8 percent when I took it in and had miles to go until my next oil change.

Check engine light came on got a notification from onstar stating that engine and transmission system issue has been detected. Also when I shut down my vehicle and restarted it the starter keep making this sound like it wanted to start and did not then did. Then I got a message on the dash saying that something was wrong with power steering.

2015 chevrolet equinox. I was driving on the highway at 60 MPH when sunroof shattered. I heard a loud noise and did not see anything that could have hit my car.

Water in floor board on driver side! Happened more than once. This time it's bad!

Windshield wipers failed while driving in a severe thunderstorm on the highway, was told at the dealership that this failing is a "common issue".

A/c vents have been spewing shiny white flakes throughout the vehicle for about 2 1/2 years which the dealer did not investigate to find the their source nor did they repair the vehicle while it was under warranty saying the flakes were dust or pollen. I had samples of the flakes analyzed by analytics corp.

Windshield wipers - front, completely stopped working. Dealership said and replaced wiper module, 84241847:sl-n (10150-ct). This was in a recall for the equinox.

I just purchased a used 2015 chevrolet equinox from rick hendricks chevy duluth. Since I have purchased this vehicle, I noticed loud noises coming from the brakes when applying pressure to stop the vehicle. Not only that, but while driving it makes a knocking sound.

During a down pour, my windshield wipers failed. They just stopped working while I was driving on a 2 lane highway next to a 18-where truck! I immediately lost all visibility and was unable to see.

Pcv valve is bad which caused my rear main valve to fail. I have always kept up on my maintenance, paid on my car for 6 years. It was paid off for 2 months and this all happened.

When I crank my car to let it run before driving off, the doors automatically lock when I attempt to get back in the car. My car is then left running with the doors locked and I have to call for assistance.

The car radio shuts off and comes back on after about 10-15 seconds. So far it hasn't caused any problems but when we travel I've come to depend on the navigation system and wouldn't want it to do this when a direction comes up. This has happened at least 3 times when I was driving I don't know if it has ever happened with my wife.

Front windshield wipers stopped working while driving in middle of a rain storm. Probably the wiper transmission or link. Only 45,000 miles on the car!!!

2015 well maintained, always garaged vehicle. Was driving on highway at 65 MPH when sunroof shattered. No damage to my car ever.

The key has broken out of the key fab with both sets of my keys since owning the vehicle (less than 4 years). The first broken when clicking the small silver circle button to unlatch the key. It then broke off, with multiple pieces scattering across my driveway.

Takara recall was driving during a really bad rain storm 65 miles an hr and when wipers stopped working thought we were going to die cars and semis honking we dident know what happened but seams to have a recall on this on 2013 but not 2015 I can assure you my life was flashing before my eyes and someone is going to pay to fix this and it wont be me recall the 2015 wiper problems

I pumped gas this am, was sitting at a light car cut off and transmission light came on. Now still on want go off.

My link and radio turn on and off , turn signals not working door charm and seat belt charm not working . Does not matter if it is stationary or moving . Also on star cuts off when the my link and radio goes off and on

After driving vehicle for approximately 10 - 30 minutes or more the vehicle emits a toxic type of odor/vapor that polluting inside of the cabin. The air quality in the vehicle needs to be checked while driving. If the weather is cold, there is a delay.

The instrument panel cluster lens allows for an excessive glare that not only prevents the driver from being able to adequately read the settings of the analog gauges, but is also a nuisance and a distraction allowing the glare from the lens/covers to blind the driver's vision, in addition to the glare that comes from the gear shift lever.
