NHTSA Complaint #10733263 — 2012 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 20 MILES PER HOUR WHEN ALL THE GAUGES ON THE DASH BOARD WENT CRAZY. THE ECO FUEL ECONOMY LIGHT WAS FLASHING ON AND OFF, THE STABILI TRAK LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD WITHOUT ME EVEN TOUCHING THE BUTTON, THE SPEEDOMETER AND ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE WERE GOING UP AND DOWN ERADICALLY. THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR THEN APPEARED ON THE DASH BOARD. I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, WHEN I WENT TO STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR, I HAD NO POWER. THE ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED TO THE FLOOR AND I WAS GOING ABOUT 5 MILES AND HOUR. ALL THE ABOVE WAS STILL HAPPENING ON THE DASHBOARD. THE AC WAS NOW BLOWING WARM AIR. IT SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. IN THE END THE SPEEDOMETER WASN'T WORKING. I REACHED SOMEWHERE SAFE AND PARKED THE CAR. I WENT TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND THERE WAS A HARD LOUD CLUNKING NOISE. THIS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR TO AUTO ZONE WHERE THEY PRINTED OUT THE CODES APPEARING FOR THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR. ( P069E, P0700, U0073, U0100) THE BATTERY IN THE CAR HAS ALSO BEEN REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE TWICE. IT HAS BEEN TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE DUE TO NOT STARTING THE NEXT DAY AFTER IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN THE DAY BEFORE AND WORKING NORMAL. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. THEY UNDERSTOOD WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THAT EVENING THEY CALLED US BACK SAYING, " WE CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, SO EVERYTHING IS FINE." WE LOST OUR MIND AND TOLD THEM TO KEEP THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL THEY COULD DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BECUASE THE CAR ISN'T THREE YEARS OLD AND SHOULDN'T HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. FURTHER, THE CAR ISN'T SAFE!! WE READ BLOGS WHERE THIS IS COMMON WITH THE EQUINOX AND INDICATED THAT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP.
