Description of the problem | After the first snow, driving with my new equinox the slush built up inside the wheel-wells and affected the driving. My car shimmied while driving at any speed, and i have to stop and chop out the ice around the tires and spring above the tire, which is very close to the tire. It seems to be the "fabric" that the wheel-well is made from. I have never had this happen on any other suv i have driven in winter. Now that i have owned it a while and today is the first real snow of fall, it is continuing to do this. I called the dealer today and they said that all day today they have been dealing with customers and this issue. |
