2013 Chevrolet Equinox steering problems

Filed Dec 13, 2023 · Brakes, Steering · GA

Car feels like it is going to take off at a red light. Then it rumbles and cuts off at the light. I purchased car from US Auto Sales. DOWC paid PepBoys for multiple repairs for breaks rotors and the light that keeps coming on is service stabile track they got the light to cut off but the issue still persisted. They even changed all things dealing with the gas line. This car is still idling high at stop signs like it will take off on its own. And still cuts off at a red light. This is very unsafe and many drivers have almost run onto the back of me. I told US Auto Sales, DOWC, and PepBoys and they all put me back in the same vehicle after voicing my concerns about safety. Instead of putting me in a safer vehicle they ignored it. This has been happening since I purchased the vehicle in November 2022

My car made an aggressive right turn on its own. Back story: I started up my car and started slowly driving straight out of a street parking spot. I noticed the steering was slightly resisting me. I made a right turn and noticed the car was pulling some to the right (I actively had to counter it). About half way down the block my car made an aggressive right turn on its own (the steering wheel turned 90 degrees before I could fight it back and come to a stop from ~20mph). While stopped I turned the steering wheel all the way to the left, all the way to the right and back to center. I got out of the car and checked all tires. There was no flats or issues with the tires, tire pressure gages were reading normal. I started driving again and the car was still fighting me. Thinking it could be the banked road (but never has been an issue before), I turned right onto a flat street. The car still was trying to pull me to right on a flat street for about 2 blocks and then it eased up and drove normally again. Two days later the "service power steering" warning appeared for 30-60 seconds upon starting my car then disappears on its own. Steering problems has never been an issue before and has not happen again in the past 4 days with minimal driving. The warning to service power steering is not consistent upon starting my car and has never appeared prior to the car steering on its own.

Engine light came on, had it serviced. Engine light came on again on the way to store and we lost power of car, steering locked. We were able to barely get it to the side of the highway almost getting rear ended by a semi. Car completely died and a huge pool of oil came out from under the car. Paid over $6,000 for a new engine and wiring and other parts because of the oil, because we were told there was not a recall. Guess what... Drinking oil, oil leak, service engine light on. This was a new engine. Spent a bunch of money on car in 2014 have had major trouble with it!!! We are not made of money, but this 2013 is the worst car and dangerous too, despite what they say!!!!

On a cold winter day approximately 20 degrees, I exited off of the highway. Upon coming to a stop at the toll plaza, the car began making a horrible clanking noise, the 'engine reduced power' notification appeared as well as the traction activation. The car died but started back up to get it off the road to safety. Had it towed to the nearest chevrolet dealership and discovered the pcv system froze up and blew the rear main seal. The car had 103k miles on it at the time and was purchased new. Never had a single problem with it and always we'll maintained. Ended up having to replace the motor to the tune of $5,575. Less than 24 hours after picking it up from the dealership, it would not start. The stabilitrack and power steering lights came on and had to be towed back to the dealership.
