Equinox

  • 5,000 miles
Started vehicle and rpms were bouncing and car was idling very rough. I took the car the dealership and was told there was nothing wrong, they could not duplicate anything. I also asked about the hard downshifting and brake fade and was told they were unable to duplicate any issues with car. I picked the car up 4 days later from the "service" and the greasy handprints all over the hood and sides of the car were tell tale signs I would not be returning. I waited approximately 1 month and the start up idle was getting worse so I took the car to another dealer and was told it was normal for this engine to idle rough and emit black smoke on initial start and was given a bulletin that said this was a normal condition for this vehicle. Then on 12/5/14 I received a letter stating that if the car is driven straight for a long period of time the steering could not operate properly and be difficult to turn and you should use force to turn the wheel. This is a new car with less than 7500 miles on it and no one is willing to help? thanks for nothing GM.
