![]() ![]() Then I put the vehicle into park and it started. It was smooth and I coasted downhill to a parking stall. While driving, all of a sudden the car and all electrical died. "I just fueled up and went to park to go shopping. ![]() Wife was driving the car luckily in a parking lot and the engine and lights just went dead. We are screwed and have no money or options. When we asked what Serpentini Chevrolet would give us to trade in and buy a cheap car to get us from point A to B, they will only give us $500 for the car which is otherwise in gorgeous condition. We were told there are no recalls, etc on this and the only things they could do was give us a brand new engine for $5,800 with a 3 year warranty on the engine.Īt this point, we still owe $4300 on the car and don't have another $5,800 to dump into it, especially when it's already 7. As we don't even have $1000, we then had it towed to Serpentini Chevrolet under the hopes that they could help as this is OBVIOUSLY due to the known leaky seal issue. Last Tuesday the car completely died and upon having it towed to a nearby mechanic, found that the engine was shot due to oil leaking in from faulty engine seals, and that the car needs an entirely new engine and would cost approximately $5,200 to install a used engine. My mom kept the car in PRISTINE condition, maintained everything faithfully & took it to the Serpentini Chevrolet faithfully for any and all recalls, notices, etc. We bought my parents 2012 Chevy Equinox from them this August and agreed to pay them $100 a month until we paid them $5,000. We don't have money for a new engine, and even if we did have the money, it's not up to us to fix a major problem that Chevy was well aware of. Now I have to wait a day or two for them to call me back, it remains to be seen if the Chevrolet company cares about the people or the money they make from selling cars that have bad parts to begin with? The lady that I spoke to was very nice and helpful but that doesn't mean much right now, the car is going through oil way more than it should. I wanted to find out if there were any other complaints or recalls and that's what I got!!! So now I'm waiting for corporate headquarters to call me back? I called the dealership where we bought it and they put me through to an already full mailbox (the Johnstown N.Y. We paid too much for this vehicle (a death trap) that has become a problem and a danger to my family. Chevrolet needs to fix these cars at no cost to the customer. We bought and paid for this piece of crap and I want Chevrolet to recall all of these cars. This car has completely died in the middle of a very busy intersection and was almost hit. ![]() I’m furious with Palm Coast Ford - I will never buy from them again and I’m reporting them and will let everyone know they are liars and scams!! They took advantage!! Does anybody know what the problem could be at all? My dad does some mechanical work and is telling me it’s garbage, there's no fixing it :-( This is absolutely horrible, it’s one thing after another. now I have no way to get my kids to school. They lied straight to my face - how can they see a single mom of 3 children and rip someone off like this? It’s sad. I know I’m screwed as I didn’t pay for a warranty and it took me forever to save for this vehicle - there’s no way Palm Coast Ford didn’t know about this. The vehicle completely lost power but I put in park and restarted it just fine, but it does the same thing again!! It's so dangerous especially with my children in the vehicle. Thank god it wasn’t heavy traffic - this s*** can cause a serious accident. Today is September 12th, 2012, day two of owning it and it did the same thing again at red lights and stop signs but today it stalled out twice while pulling into the store and into my dirt road. It did it the whole way home, got home and parked it! Woke up, had to run to the store and thought maybe it was a one time thing, but nope. Yes, the miles are high but for a single mom of 3 I paid a good penny for this vehicle and I don’t have money like that but we ended up making it home. I was freaking out and thought I wouldn’t make it home, crying my eyes out with my 4 year old son in the back, and Palm Coast Ford swore there was nothing wrong with this vehicle. At first as long as I smash the break hard it kinda stops. ![]() So I just purchased this 2012 Chevy Equinox yesterday at Palm Coast Ford in Palm Coast Florida, and halfway home it started jerking and jumping when I stopped at red lights or stop signs. ![]()
