NHTSA Complaint #10811615 — 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

MY HUSBAND AND I BOUGHT BRAND NEW 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THINKING THAT THIS WOULD BE AN INVESTMENT AS A RELIABLE AND SAFE FAMILY CAR, IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A HEADACHE. IT CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 60K MILES AND IT HAS ENGINE FAILURE PROBLEMS AND ISN'T DRIVE-ABLE... THE ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY LOST POWER WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE 91 FREEWAY FROM IRVINE TO RIVERSIDE AROUND 70 MPH. THE ENGINE LITERALLY SLOWED TO ABOUT 10-15 MPH. MY HUSBAND IS A DECORATED MARINE CORPS WAR VETERAN WHO HAS SURVIVE THREE TOURS IN AFGHANISTAN, WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT A HUMDRUM COMMUTE TO WORK ALMOST COST HIM HIS LIFE. AND NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND I AM TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. THIS LIFE THREATENING SITUATION IS ONLY THE MOST SIGNIFICANT SOMETIMES THE CAR GET STUCK IN BACK UP CAM MODE OR THE RADIO SHUT OFF RANDOMLY AND REFUSES TO COME BACK ON. IF I AM GOING UP A HILL OR A MOUNTAIN THE CAR WON'T GO OVER 40 MPH, AND I CAN'T TRADE IT IN CAUSE I OWE MORE THAN WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH.
