Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HILL IN MOTION AND I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. MY CHEVY EQUINOX SHUT OFF AS I MADE THE TURN. MY TRUCK STOPPED AND MY BACK END WAS IN THE LANE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO LEAVE. THE FRONT END WAS ON THE STREET I TRIED TO TURN ON. SO I IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO START THE EQUINOX. I TOOK FOUR TIMES FOR IT TO START. THIS HAS HAPPENS AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK. I'M TERRIFIED TO GET ON THE LOCAL HIGHWAY. ALSO I'M TERRIFIED TO GET ON THE INTERSTATE FOR FEAR I WILL GET INTO A WRECK BECAUSE IF MY VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR ONE YEAR. I'M STUCK WITH IT. IT'S TOTALLY UNSAFE. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO RETURN MY CALLS. I GET REGULAR OIL CHANGES. I NEED THEM MORE FREQUENTLY DUE TO THE OIL BURNING SO QUICKLY. I HAVE TO CHECK MY OIL ON A DAILY BASIS SO I CAN MAKE SURE THERE IS ENOUGH OIL FOR ME TO DRIVE TO WORK. SOMETIMES MY VEHICLE SHAKES WHILE I'M STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. I'VE THEN WE'LL TAKE MY VEHICLE TO GET IT CHECKED THERE WILL BE OIL IN IT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT SHAKES AND CUTS OFF AND BURNS UP OIL. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD. *TR
