2014 Chevrolet Equinox electrical complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 46 of 46, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The front passenger seat caught fire sometime between 3 p.m. On 8/10/14 and 8 a.m. On 8/11/14 when the vehicle was unoccupied, parked, and locked. The fire burned a large hole in the seat. Charred debris from the burned seat was found on the front passenger side floor mat. The vehicle was taken to a chevrolet dealer for diagnosis as soon as the burned seat was discovered. The dealer diagnosed the problem as a "seat fire caused by an internal heat source" and offered to replace the front passenger side air bag sensor and seat cushion.
When turning the steering wheel left or right at low speed or stopped, groaning or rubbing noise is emitted from front tires. Car is 1 month old, has approx. 5000 miles on it now and problem still continues after 2 attempts for dealer to repair it. During fill ups, the gas pump would click/stop and fuel would splash back out of tank and down side of car. This happened whether you set the automatic fill up switch on the fuel pump, or if manually filling the car myself. 2 complaints later, the whole gas tank had to be replaced. 2 days in a row, on 2 separate occasions, the smell of burning plastic and/or electrical wires has been noticed inside vehicle, and is more defined when outside of vehicle and smelling engine area.
I put my phone charger to charge and a fire ignited I quickly pull the plug out. It is the 6 charge I have damaged. And the ignition key at time get over heated. Anything that get plugged into the USB also eventually get over heated. My phone get mess up from it. Help please. Thanks
Several times recently, while driving, a warning bell sounds yet there is no light on the dash to tell me what is wrong. I checked the manual, nothing. It sounds like the ding you hear when your seatbelt isn't fastened. I thought perhaps I hadn't properly fastened my seatbelt, that wasn't it. So if my car thinks my seatbelt isn't fastened, then if I have collision would it think I was driving and protect me with my airbag.- or not?
A few times I have noticed that when I turn the SUV off, the ignition switch and the metal part of the key are very hot. Is this problem similar to other recalls?
