Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY EQUINOX THAT I PURCHASED USED IN MARCH 2009 FROM JOHNNY LONDOFF CHEVROLET. I HAVE BEEN TAKING IT TO THE DEALER FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND THEY WOULD SAY EVERYTHING IS WORKING PROPERLY. I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING ALOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR SINCE I'VE PURCHASED IT. THE AIR DIDN'T WORK & I PAID TO GET IT FIXED ONLY FOR IT TO GO OUT AGAIN. WHEN I START IT SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T WANT TO START, I HEAR NOISES LIKE IT'S MISFIRING WHEN IT DOES START. I RECENTLY HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED & HAD A MULTIPOINT INSPECTION & WAS TOLD AGAIN EVERYTHING IS WORKING PROPERLY ONLY TO BE DRIVING HOME & WHEN I TRIED TO STOP THE BRAKES DON'T WORK. I COULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT & MY CHILD WAS IN THE CAR AS WELL. I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THEM TO FIND OUT WHAT CAUSED THIS & THEY SAID THE HUB BEARING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED & THE HARNESS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT'S NOT GONNA BE CHEAP TO FIX AS I'M NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I WANT THIS TO BE INVESTIGATED AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT ANY WARNING SINCE I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR ABOUT 1 YEAR & 8 MOS. THE MILEAGE WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR WAS 53010 & SINCE I HAVE HAD IT I'M ONLY AT 62567 MILES. I NEED ANSWERS JUST LIKE OTHERS EXPERIENCING SOME OF THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR
