NHTSA Complaint #10915452 — 2014 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

MAY 2016, HAD ISSUE WITH MY 2014 EQUINOX INVOLVING THE ACCELEROMETER PEDAL & SENSOR DUE TO FAULTY WIRING. MY VEHICLE WAS JUST LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD WITH 62K MILES AT THE TIME. WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, WHEN THE MALFUNCTION OCCURRED AND SENT THE VEHICLE INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER MODE. WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE VEHICLE STARTED TO QUICKLY LOSE SPEED DOWN AS IT HAPPENED JUST PRIOR TO GOING UP A HILL. HAD TO TRY AND GET VEHICLE OFF TO SHOULDER OF HIGHWAY, ACCELERATION PEDAL WAS COMPLETELY INOPERABLE DURING THIS TIME. CALL WAS PLACED TO GM REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND MY CONCERNS THAT IT COULD HAVE LEAD TO A CRASH, INJURY OR WORSE. GM HAD NO INTEREST IN COVERING THIS PROBLEM UNDER ANY WARRANTY AND DID NOT SEEM CONCERNED AT ALL WITH THE ISSUE OR MY CONCERNS THAT THE PROBLEM COULD HAVE LEAD TO A CRASH, INJURY OR WORSE. IN THE END I WAS LEFT WITH A $475 REPAIR CHARGE TO REPLACE AN $80 PART BY THE GM DEALERSHIP.
