Consumer Description

IT ONLY HAD 42000 MILES ON IT AND EVEN BEFORE IT SOUNDED FUNNY. WE HAD IT HOOKED TO DIAGNOSTIC AND IT SAID THE INTAKE AND EXHAUST CAM SHAFT ACTUATOR SOLENOIDS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED OR FAULTY. GOOGLE IT ONLINE IT COMES UP AS A RECALL FOR MY YEAR OF 2011 CHEVY EQUINIX. BUT WHEN I TOLD THEM AT CHEVY SERVICE CENTER THEY WERE ADDIMENT THAT ONLY CERTAIN VINS AND THATS WHAT THEY GO BY. BUT I TOLD THEM HOW WOULD YOU KNOW WHICH ONES ARE AFFECTED IF YOUR NOT TOLD BY CONSUMERS. ONLINE AND ON DIFFERENT SITES COME UP THAT SOME HAVE PROBLEMS AND HAVE RECALLS . WELL OM INFORMING THEM THAT THERES AN ISSUE BUT SINCE ITS NOT ON THEIR DATA BASE OR MY VIN THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. THE CAR WHEN DRIVING SHUTS OFF SOMETIMES. OR WHEN I START IT AND BEGIN TO DRIVE IT SHUTS OFF.
