problem #1

Feb 172006

Equinox 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 7,000 miles
: the contact stated there was only half an inch between the front tires and the macpherson strut supports. The vehicle was taken to the dealership for inspection, although there was no problem. The dealership determined this is how the vehicle was manufactured; therefore, no repairs were available. The design of the coil spring mount has a razor sharp edge on the strut which could cause a serious accident. Updated 03/17/06.
