problem #1

Equinox 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 41,000 miles
During a recent crash that I was in, when my air bag deployed I was pushed back into the seat. The seat came unlatched and plunged into the back seat where I had my daughter in her car seat. It was my understanding by both the insurance company and the dealer that this is to never happen.
