Consumer Description

THE 2012 CHEVY EQUINOX STALL CONSTANTLY BELOW 30 MPH. IT STALLS AT LEAST 2 TO 3 TIMES TRYING TO BACK OUT OF GARAGE TO MOVE IT 10 FEET. THE IDLE STARTS OFF SMOOTH BUT WITHIN 10 SECONDS THE EQUINOX STARTS IDLING ROUGH AND JERKING, THEN IT STALLS. WHEN STOPPED AT STOP LIGHT THE EQUINOX JERKS BACK AND FORTH, WHEN I GIVE IT GAS TO GO, THE EQUINOX JERKS FORWARD AND USUALLY DIES ON ME. IT BURNS A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS AND OIL, I HAVE TO REFILL THE OIL UP AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK.I HAVE CHANGED THE OIL MYSELF AND FOUND THE OIL IS SATURATED WITH METAL FILINGS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE BECAUSE OF A DEAD CELL. I HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE DUE TO A BLOW-OUT AT 24,000 MILES AND DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPLACE IT, SAYING I HIT SOMETHING AND IT COULD NOT HAVE BLOWN OUT. THE ENTIRE NAVIGATION SYSTEM IN OUT AND THE LIGHTS FLICKER IN THE CUP HOLDERS. THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS WHEN OUT FOR AT LEAST 5 DAYS AND IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN WITH NO REPAIR OF THE SYSTEM. THIS IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE CONSIDERING, I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO STALL DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. A RECALL IS MANDATORY FOR FULL REPLACEMENT!!!! *TR
