I WAS ABLE TO WALK IN FRONT OF MY EQUINOX, IN DRIVE, (UNKOWN TO ME) THINKING THAT THE CAR WAS IN PARK.. START BUTTON IS INVISIBLE WHEN STEERING WHEEL IS ALIGNED PROPERLY AND TO SMALL TO SEE, AND THE LIGHTS ON IT ARE TOO SMAIL. EXTERIOR TURN SIGNAL NOT VISIBLE IN DAYLIGHT. NO SUNSCREEN BANNER ACROSS FRONT WINDSHIELD
I TOOK MY CAR THROUGH A AUTOMATIC CAR WASH AND AFTER LEAVING THE CAR WASH..MY DOORS WOULD NOT UNLOCK. I HAD TO CRAWL OUT THROUGH THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE TO GET OUT. THE CAR WOULD NOT UNLOCK UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. I WENT THROUGH THE CAR WASH AT 4PM AND AT 630AM THE NEXT DAY, IT FINALLY UNLOCKED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO MY DAUGHTERS 2018 EQUINOX AS WELL. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. WHAT IF HER OR I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT....
VIBRATION IN DASH THE MORE YOU PUSH ON THE ACCELERATOR THE LOUDER THE VIBRATION GETS WHILE DRIVING OR MOVING
AFTER FILLING FUEL GAUGE READS 3/4 FULL. CAN NEVER BE SURE HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE CAR. THE DEALER SAYS THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS ALL 2018 CHEVROLET EQUINOX'S AND GM TERRAINS AND THERE IS NO FIX.
