I have noticed my car does not signal to me when I'm getting to close to something in my backup camera. In other words I backed into someone's garbage bin while reversing. I was going very slow. This is a problem for me as I don't feel the camera is very accurate. I was watching the camera and listening for a beep with no music or air going because I had noticed I hadn't heard the thing beep before. I was only in the driveway but this could have caused an issue if I was parallel parking on a side street in town.

About 3 weeks ago I went to start my equinox with the key and when I put it in the ignition my vehicle would not start at all. The vehicle was parked on a city street. Then the beginning of december I had gone over a little bump and my dash started showing up with warning lights saying 'service stabiliz' and 'all-wheel drive off'.

While driving on city streets and highways the lights dim and the radio will shut off and all lights on the dash will bim and blink. When I have the cruz control on the car will start picking up speed, and one point I felt I was going a little to fast and when I looked down I was doing 83 MPH and I had the cruze control set to 60 MPH. Angel the driver seat will move down on its own while I am driving. I do not feel this is right. I called the dealer ship and they said it was more likely a fuse. I do not believe that. My trackstion control goes off by it self also.

Back on jan 14, 2019 oil was changed as part of routine at a service station. Operator suggested we take it in to the dealers as part of an oil consumption recall he heard about, within 200 miles we took it into a dealership for the test to be performed and they refused to do it due to a rear main seal leak that no one mentioned earlier or at the oil change place. They wouldn't repair it as part of the gm service bulletin 14882 (which is what caused the issue) had to pay $1700 just to get the seal fixed so they could perform the test on an issue gm already was aware of! Vehicle finally failed the consumption test and had the recall done at another dealership. Within 3 weeks of being fixed multiple electronic issues have popped up like the stabilitrak disabling, engine power decrease warning, stalling when in idle, burnt smell, air bag lights, and above avg engine noises and has shut down on the highway. Taking it back to the dealer who fixed it to see what can be done. This is my wife's daily driver and takes our kids everywhere so it's imperative that people read this an really think hard before buying this gm product if you've got a family. Current;y under 91,000 miles but it seems like oil changes became more frequent around 75,000 without warning of oil being low.

Service stabilitrak system warning message appears with associated ABS and traction control lights. Occurring randomly when hitting bumps in the road while highway and city driving, the lights will illuminate with dinging alert. Duration of the message varies from a couple of seconds to minutes before all lights extinguish. Various references online indicate the solution for others are all over the place with some dealership maintenance shops trying multiple fixes with no avail. Has been occurring since 2017.

The timing chain had to be replaced at 140,000 miles. ($2,000) [occurred jan. 2018] their is an issue causing with leaky pistons causing oil to evaporate. My car was low on oil (though the "low oil" indicator had not gone off) and the pressure inside the engine caused the rear main seal to break. (replacement of refurbished engine + labor est. $4,000) [occurred jan 2018 at 170,000 miles) not to mention that the back,left door is closed, though a sensor says it is ajar. The sensors in the tires are always way off, tempting me to over-inflate tires. [infinity.]
