Audible tone volume for seat belt unbuckled, door ajar, key left in ignition, turn indicator, etc intermittently reduces to a level that may be barely be heard. Next time it may or may not be restored restored to normal. Problem is random, sometimes lasting for entire trip but is normal on next trip. I have seen this problem listed on various internet automobile problem sites but not on your site.

I have had many problems with this vehicle regarding electrical, audio, airbag lights coming on and now engine oil. The engine oil was just detected at 80,000 miles however I have complained that my car does not run right since the beginning. They claim that the engine is burning off the oil however I am very good at getting my oil changes around 3000 miles and where is the oil going" its not in my garage or on the engine? I have had my car completely go blank on the dash no indicator lights etc. I have filled a complaint with Chevy to no avail. I am very disappointed that now my engine needs to be replaced or maybe just he pistons? at 80,000 miles" this has been going on since I owned it from Sept 2009! I think Chevy needs to step up and make things right! disappointed. Just for the record I bought this car in California.

Been having off and on problems with driver side air bag coming on and off. It will appear for maybe a week then go off totally for months. I took it in to the dealer where I bought and they ran a test and said it would be over $400 to fix. Not sure what to do as this is just once in awhile service airbag! has there been any other problems with this make and model.? not sure what to do. Hate spending all this money if it is just a fluke. Thank you for your help on this matter.

Car battery constant drains, car wont start upon hot/cold weather...BCM might be the cause-body control module computer, car cuts off while driving, has stalled, nocking sound when ac/heater is on, burning smell.battery replaced and not the problem, alt also checked and is working good. Have to constantly charge the battery to charge the computer to get the car to start.

2010 Chevrolet Equinox. Consumer writes in regards to faulty ignition shutting off vehicle several times while driving. The consumer took the vehicle in for service several times, but no diagnosis was given.

- Tampa, FL, USA

Was driving vehicle when all of a sudden entire dash lit up and car stalled. Messages included service stabilitrak, service ABS, engine light, and service traction control. I lost power, power brakes, and power steering and coasted vehicle to a stop. It took a couple of tries but finally got the car to turn over, engine light remained on but drove to dealer. Vehicle did not drive correctly when accelerated, it was slow and jerky. When I took the vehicle to the dealer they told me it would be covered under warranty, they plugged in their tech code reader and determined it was throttle body. I was given a concierge vehicle and informed it would take them the weekend to fix. When I picked the vehicle up they charged me saying that it would not be covered under the warranty and tried to make me pay for the rental and I have still not been reimbursed for the repairs that should have been covered under warranty or the rental car. The service agent at the dealership printed off where it clearly states that it should be covered. This is a dangerous problem and should be recalled.

Power steering locked up/stopped working when trying to back up. Wouldn't work when put back in forward gear. Happened intermittently and when taken to dealer, they couldn't replicate. Next couple of months did this intermittently. Recently, it did this regularly for a day when driving...very dangerous as it would happen often when executing a turn so car could lurch into an adjacent lane and potentially end up in an accident. Warning light came on and this time took to dealer who told me they diagnosed a problem that would require replacement of at least part of the power steering assembly. This seems to be the exact same issue as what occurred with cobalts, HHR, etc. In the latest GM recall and I believe that the recall should be extended to this model year and make as well (if not for others too!). caused me enough concern to get the work done and am now working on my options to try and get GM to reimburse me based on this being an identical issue to these other makes and models.

I have owned this auto, which I purchased from a chev. Dealer in atmore, al Dec 2011; first sign of trouble was notice to replace electronic board, and battery which was run down & alleged due to fail., replaced under bank service warranty, plus $110. From that point onthe car would start unattended, and parked, locked with alarm on. Attempts to correct meant fighting to get lock to stay open with key, and inserting same into ignition. Car has also stopped for no reason at all, .complaint to gn/Chevy two weeks ago, complaining of broken key as buttons had dropped off and second set did not work at all. Milton Chevrolet at milton, fl alleged corrected problem by making second (non-working) key work. A week later car parked, locked and alarm set, started in mid afternoon, no one near auto or keys and alarm ran off. We had to get key, enter auto and turn off ignition. The dealer wants the cost of two new keys to "fix" the problem. I think that the problem is a faulty ignition system entirely. If car stopped running on interstate for no reason, brakes, alarm, air bags would be inoperative. This has been reported to GM/Chevrolet about 6 times, a late as yesterday when they demand cost of keys to repair problem.at times we have gone into stores and heard the alarm go off with no one around. This is not the intent of Chevrolet to meet recall. Please advise as to how this can be resolved. I have no doubt that the key system and the key and ignition and engine are allinked and are faulty with problems yet tobe revealed. Current mileage, 60,700 total mileage.

Service air bag warning light on 2010 Chevrolet Equinox. So, why isn't this vehicle included in the recent recall?

- Plymouth, IN, USA

While driving the vehicle the wipers stopped functioning making it dangerous to drive. The center console display, radio and heater controls, went off and stopped functioning. This has happened several times and is a dangerous situation. I have had it looked at by the dealer and they tell me nothing is wrong. They also tell me there is no recall on any Equinox for these issues even after I recommended them to look at your site. They told me to "stop looking at the internet for information because it is no good and that people do nothing but complain on the internet." I called the GM customer service center to explain that to them and they recommended me to file a complaint with NHTSA to make it known that my car is having the same issue as the recalled cars to possibly get it added to the recall. I am not only doing this because they recommended me to, but because my family is at a safety risk driving this vehicle and GM doesn't seem to care. They need to be held accountable for this issue since there are many people out there having the same issue that are in the same boat as I am without being covered by the recall.
