NHTSA Complaint #11327425 — 2019 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AN INTERMITTENT FOUL CHEMICAL TYPE ODOR EMITS INTO THE CAR THROUGH ALL OF THE A/C VENTS. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE GENERAL MOTORS CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE, MY DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THE BBB AUTOLINE WHOM ARE ALL AWARE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE STATED IN A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AND IN A RECALL FOR THE ISSUE BUT GM STATES THERE IS NO REPAIR TO COMPLETELY ELIMINATE THE CONDITION AT THIS TIME. AFTER 4 SERVICE REPAIR ATTEMPTS AND A FINAL REPAIR ATTEMPT, THE PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING, IN WHICH GM, DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AND BBB AUTOLINE ARE AWARE AS WELL. THIS NAUSEATING ODOR IS A CHEMICAL TYPE POLLUTION EMITTING INTO THE VEHICLE CABIN THAT PRESENTS A HEALTH CONCERN AND SAFETY HAZARD FOR MYSELF AND ALL OTHER OCCUPANTS WHILE INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE ODOR IS SO POTENT THAT IT ADVERSELY AFFECTS MY ABILITY TO SAFELY CONTROL THE VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION. THE IMPURE AC IS NAUSEATING AND TAKES MY FOCUS OFF OF THE ROAD AND INTO AN IMMEDIATE PANIC TO FIND A WAY TO GET THE CONTAMINATED AIR OUT OF THE VEHICLE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. THIS PROBLEM/DEFECT WITH THE VEHICLE CREATES AN UNSAFE AND UNHEALTHY CONDITION. THE COMPONENT/PART CAUSING THE PROBLEM IS UNKNOWN BY ALL PARTIES. TSB: PIT2726. GM RECALL:N192271200. *TR
