Front turn indicator lights have gone out. unfortunately, due to chevy's vehicle design, the bulbs can only be replaced by pulling the bumper off in total and replacing bulbs. then, putting entire bumper system back. this information was given to me by chevrolet of issaquah and confirmed by bonita point repair in chula vista california.
Rear main seal has blown three times since i purchased my vehicle from carvana. i’ve pulled the engine out myself as i cannot afford another $3,500 at the shop. i’m a single income household that makes too much for financial assistance. the chevy equinox was the only vehicle in our price range. that was prior to the seal blowing, again.
