| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2006 chevy equinox has shut off 9 times w/in 3 separate rain weather incidents. spring 2006. i advised him that my car has shut off repeatedly when it was raining 4 several days or when we have rainstorms. the most serious incident is when i had my family in the car driving to bridgeport,ct on the evening nov 16, 2006. it started to rain really hard & my car started to make this roaring sound all of a sudden . i was pressing on the gas & i noticed the car had lost power. the lights were on but the odometer was dropping. i kept pressing the gas pedal & nothing happen. there were a lot of trailers/cars on the road. i couldn't see in front of me because of the heavy rain fall. i slowly moved over trying to get to the shoulder since the car was still gliding on the rain. i was at exit 27 southbound on i95 which is a down ramp 2 get off the exit i couldn't see the shoulder on the side of the highway b/c of the rain & i was afraid 4 me & my families due 2 safety reasons that moving on the shoulder with the hard visibility due 2 the rain wouldn't be a smart move on my part. so i was able 2 make it w/no power steering down the exit ramp i was able 2 pull over off the highway. the car has turned it's self off when it rains really hard in a storm or it has been raining 4 hours. this is a major concern & safety issue 4 me & my family. i shouldn't have 2 inconvenience my family & friends when it rains but i'm afraid my family & i could get killed. something occurs. i can't put my families life in jeopardy or my own. i can't trade in the car because if god forbid someone else gets this car & gets killed then i would have some fault in knowing i gave a faulty car 2 a dealership. i can't live with that. yes, it's an inconvenience 4 me and my family but i know their is a problem with this car that needs 2 be fix or solved b4 someone gets killed. i could have caused an accident on i95 & killed myself, my family & other people on the highway. please help me? *nm |
