Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY 2011 EQUINOX IN DEC. 2011. ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THERE WAS A RATTLE NOISE WHICH SOUNDED LIKE THE STARTER IS NOT ENGAGING RIGHT. I TOLD MY DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS, SO I HOPE GM WILL INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM. I HOPE THIS DOES NOT MESS UP THE ENGINE. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING 46 YRS & NEVER HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
