LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I PURCHASED MY CHEVROLET EQUINOX BRAND NEW IN 2008 AND CURRENTLY WE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FOLLOWING: 1- DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW- WILL ONLY ROLL DOWN AND/OR UP INTERMITTENTLY. OCCASIONALLY IT WILL ROLL BACK UP IF THE INTERIOR PANEL IS HIT SEVERAL TIMES. 2- DOOR LOCKS/ALARM- THE ALARM WILL SET BUT THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WITH THE KEY FOB. WHEN USING THE POWER LOCKS INSIDE THE CAR, THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IS THE ONLY DOOR THAT WILL CONSISTENTLY LOCK. THE BACK DOOR LOCKS WILL GET STUCK HALF WAY AND WON'T LOCK OR UNLOCK EXCEPT MANUALLY. 3- STABILITRAC- THE STABILITRAC WILL DISABLE RANDOMLY. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IN DRY CONDITIONS OR WET CONDITIONS, ON WARM AND COLD DAYS AND ALSO WHEN THE CAR IS BEING STARTED IN THE DRIVEWAY. 4- AIRBAGS- THE "SERVICE AIRBAGS" LIGHT WILL COME ON AND GO OFF FOR NO REASON. IT WILL COME ON ONE DAY AND BE ON FOR A WEEK AND THEN GO OFF FOR A MONTH OR TWO AND THEN COME BACK ON AGAIN. 5- DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT COVER HOLDS A LOT OF MOISTURE 6- CHECK TIRE PRESSURE COMES ON QUITE A BIT FOR NO REASON. ALL TIRE PRESSURES ARE DOUBLE CHECKED AND ARE AT THE PERFECT PRESSURE RECOMMENDED BY GM. *TR

AIR BAGS
APPROX 6 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING MY CAR - NEW THE AIR BAG SERVICE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE - REPLACED THE AIR BAG HARNESS. ABOUT 6- 8 MONTHS LATER AIR BAG SERVICE LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN, PLUS THE TRACTION CONTROL ALARM. CALLED IN FOR SERVICE REPLACED THE AIR BAG HARNESS AGAIN- CALLED ABOUT SERVICE, THAN THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. ABOUT 6- 8 MONTHS LATER THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON A LONG TRIP (600 MILES), CAME HOME NOTHING. IN OCT 2012 THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN REPLACED THE AIR BAG HARNESS AGAIN, ALL OUT OF MY POCKET - NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. LASTED ABOUT 6 WEEKS, ALL ALARMS WARNING GOING OFF, AIR BAG, TRACTION, AND NOW THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS OFF, AND OIL LIGHT WARNING. TOOK CAR BACK TO ORIGINAL DEALER, STATED ENTIRE AIR BAG NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, CAN'T FIND A REASON FOR THE TRACTION? I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR. IT HAS BEEN 4 WEEKS SINCE MY CAR WAS AT THE DEALER, NO ALARMS UNTIL YESTERDAY, NOW THE AIR BAG ALARM IS GOING OFF EVERY 2.5 MINUTES, VERY ANNOYING IF YOU ARE IN THE CAR TRAVELING FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES. I ASKED THE DEALER TO MAKE ME AN OFFER ON THIS LEMON OF A CAR. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ELECTRONICS ON THIS CAR. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
PURCHASE VEHICLE IN AUGUST 2009. INSTRUMENT PANEL FAULTY WITHIN MONTHS OF PURCHASE. WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER & LIGHTS ON DASH GO OUT INTERMITTENTLY. RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE CONCERNING THIS ISSUE IN APRIL 2010. PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING. HAVE BEEN BACK TO DEALERSHIP AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES. HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH GENERAL MOTORS IN DETROIT. DEALERSHIP NOR GENERAL MOTORS ARE RETURNING OUR CALLS OR FIXING THE PROBLEM. ONLY 17546 MILES ARE ON THIS VEHICLE. LIGHTS AND DEFROSTER GO OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING CAUSING US TO BE VERY INSECURE TO TAKE IT ANYWHERE FOR FEAR IT WILL HAPPEN WHILE WE ARE OUT. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE COULD SMELL FUEL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE SMELL WAS SO STRONG THAT SHE COULD NOT PARK THE VEHICLE IN HER GARAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WAS CRACKED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V459000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE DEALER INFORMED HER THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 118,303.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I OWN A 2006 CHEVY EQUINOX. PURCHASED THE CAR BACK IN AUGUST 2009 AND A FEW DAYS AFTER BUYING THE VEHICLE THE CAR WOULDN'T START. I WOULD TURN THE KEY TO TURN THE CAR ON AND IT WOULDN'T COMPLETELY TURN OVER AND IT WOULD "STICK," CAUSING ME TO TURN THE CAR BACK TO OFF. AFTER ATTEMPTING TO START THE CAR THE FIRST TIME, THE SECOND TIME WOULD USUALLY WORK. NOW, IT'S GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE THE CAR WON'T TURN OVER WITHOUT PRESSING THE GAS, IF I DON'T PRESS THE GAS THE ENGINE WON'T START AT ALL. I CAN TURN THE KEY ON AND OFF; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 TIMES BUT IT REFUSES TO START WITHOUT THE GAS (I'M WORRIED I'M GOING TO FLOOD THE ENGINE NOW). THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY DURING ANYTIME OF DAY AND DURING ANY WEATHER CONDITIONS, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T EVEN HAPPEN FOR DAYS/WEEKS THEN SUDDENLY THE PROBLEM COMES BACK AND ITS WORSE. THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS ESPECIALLY WITH A CAR WITH ONLY 70,000 MILES ON IT. NO DEALER WILL HELP ME BECAUSE THE CAR WILL NEVER ACT UP FOR THEM. I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND I AM RUNNING OUT OF OPTIONS. I DON'T WANT TO BE LEFT STRANDED BECAUSE GM WON'T HELP ANYONE WITH A PROBLEM A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THE SAME YEAR AND CAR! *TR

AIR BAGS, STEERING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS A LOUD BANG HEARD FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE FOLLOWED BY A CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE RACK AND PINION AND STEERING SHAFT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE AIR BAG FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

AIR BAGS
THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD WENT FROM AN "ON" TO "OFF" STATUS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE WITH AN ADULT PASSENGER ABOARD AND THE SEATBELT FASTENED. WE HAD THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER, BOB FISHER CHEVROLET, READING, PA, FOR AN INSPECTION AND OIL CHANGE - AND ALSO REPORTED THIS INSTANCE. MY WIFE WAS CALLED AND TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL EFFECTING OUR VIN. ALSO THAT IT WOULD NOT REACT AS DESCRIBED "AT THAT TIME". REFERENCE GM NOTICE #07174 DATED AUG 22, 2007. THE DEALER STATED THAT AS OUR VIN WAS NOT IN THE "RANGE RECALLED" THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROPERLY FIX THE PROBLEM AS GM WOULD NOT REIMBURSE THEM. SO, WHAT DOES CONSTITUTE GM'S AND THE DEALERS RESPONSIBILITIES WHEN THERE IS SOME SORT OF OBVIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM? *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SUSPENSION
I HEARD A THUMPING NOISE FROM WHAT FELT LIKE UNDER MY FEET. I THEN TRIED TO PUSH ON THE BRAKES, ONLY HAVING THE PEDAL GIVE A GREAT AMOUNT OF RESISTANCE WITH LOUD ABS NOISES. IT WILL CONTINUE DOING THIS UNTIL BOTH MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT COME ON. I HAD MY BRAKES CHECKED AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. AND OF COURSE IT WAS OUT OF MY 50000 MILE WARRANTY. I STILL DRIVE CAUTIOUSLY AND TRY TO GET THE LIGHTS ON AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE WHEN DRIVING MY CHILDREN AROUND SO THAT WE AREN'T SERIOUSLY INJURED. NOT UNTIL I STARTED RESEARCHING THE PROBLEMS I'M HAVING WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE DID I REALIZE I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE. THE BRAKES ARE THE FIRST TO MENTION...THEN THERE'S THE AC/HEATER PROBLEM IT WON'T BLOW HOT AIR, AND IT WON'T BLOW COOL AIR WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. THEN THAT LOUD CLUNKING NOISE MADE WHEN I'M DRIVING OVER BUMPS THAT SOUND LIKE MY FRONT END IS GOING TO FALL OFF. OH AND THE FACT THAT MY SPEEDOMETER WILL ONLY INCREASE BY 3-5 MPH INCREMENTS. THE DEALER SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, AFTER GETTING A SPEEDING TICKET BY A CAMERA LIGHT IT WAS TAKEN INTO A SPEED SHOP WHO VERIFIED ITS ABSOLUTELY NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. THEY COULDN'T EVEN GIVE ME A READING BECAUSE ITS BROKEN. NICE!!!!! SERIOUSLY IS SOMEONE GOING TO HAVE TO DIE, OR SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE SOMEONE STEPS UP AND TAKES RESPONSIBILITY? *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, WHEELS
WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC AT A LOW SPEED I HAD TO STOP DUE TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME STOPPING. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES, THE BRAKES STARTED PULSING AND I HAD NO STOPPING ABILITIES UNTIL I HIT THE CAR INFRONT OF ME. AGAIN THE SAME SITUATION OCCURRED, I WAS MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AT A LOW SPEED WHEN THE CAR INFRONT OF ME SLAMS THEIR BRAKES AND I FOLLOW MY APPLYING MY BRAKES. AGAIN THE BRAKES PULSED AND THE CAR DID NOT STOP. THE SECOND TIME I HAD MORE THAN TWO CAR SPACES BETWEEN MYSELF AND THE OTHER CAR WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE ROAD CONDITIONS FOR BOTH INCIDENTS WERE CLEAR AND NO VISIBLE LIQUID ON THE ROAD. EACH TIME THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTING THROUGH THE GEARS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SEATS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY CAR BEGAN CHUGGING, LOSING POWER AND EVENTUALLY STALLED AS I CAME TO A STOP. THIS BEGAN WHEN I SLOWED MY VEHICLE ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS (ONCE WHEN I SLOWED TO TURN A CORNER- 2012, ONCE WHEN I SLOWED TO STOP AT A LIGHT-3/2013 AND THE THIRD TIME WAS WHEN SITTING IDLE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE-2/2013.) EACH TIME MY GAS TANK WAS LESS THAN HALF FULL BUT AT DIFFERENT LEVELS AT EACH OCCURRENCE. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER THE INCIDENTS. AFTER THE CAR STALLED, I TURNED IT OFF AND WAS ABLE TO START IT BACK UP WITHOUT INCIDENT EACH TIME. THE CAR RIDES ROUGH AND IS NOW MAKING A RATTLING/RUBBING NOISE. I HAVE HAD TWO CODE CHECKS; ONE RETURNED AS AN ISSUE IN BANK ONE WITH 3 POTENTIAL ISSUES: OXYGEN SENSOR, FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM OR IGNITION MISFIRE. THE SECOND CODE CHECK WAS CODE PO172, FUEL TOO RICH. AFTER THE FIRST CODE CHECK, WE REPLACED THE O2 SENSOR AND THE CAR STALLED THE NEXT DAY SO THE CODES WERE CHECKED AGAIN AFTER MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. OTHER ISSUES: *DRIVER SIDE LUMBAR SUPPORT BROKE. CHAIR ROCKS A LITTLE BUT IS STILL USABLE (ALBEIT PROBABLY NOT SAFE): DECEMBER, 2012 *CAR JERKS/SHIFTS ROUGHLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR SHIFTING FROM SECOND TO THIRD. ALSO, WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL, IT SLOWS DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY AND ABRUPTLY. (CURRENT ISSUE AND AN ISSUE SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR IN AUGUST, 2009. *CLIMATE CONTROL STUCK ON HIGH (DOCUMENTED RECALL THAT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT.) *WEATHER STRIPPING ON THE INSIDE OF THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR STUCK TO THE DOOR AND PULLED OFF WHEN THE DOOR WAS OPENED (UNKNOWN MONTH, 2010) *DRIVER SIDE BOTTOM PART OF SEAT CUSHION CAME UNATTACHED FROM SEAT BASE WHEN I PULLED IT TO THE SIDE TO GET AN ITEM THAT DROPPED DOWN NEAR THE CONSOLE (UNKNOWN MONTH 2010) *CONSTANT KNOCKING IN THE ENGINE (BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT IT). *TR

ENGINE
I BOUGHT MY 2011 EQUINOX LATE 2011. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS ON AND OFF WITH THE ENGINE. FIRST IT STARTED MAKING AN AWFUL RACKET WHENEVER IT WAS FIRST STARTED. SOMETIMES ONLY ONCE A WEEK OR SO, SOMETIMES 2-3 TIMES A DAY. CHRISTMAS DAY 2012, WHILE LOADING THE VEHICLE WITH GIFTS AND SUCH I HAD STARTED IT SO THAT IT WOULD BE WARM WHEN WE WERE DONE. BUT BEFORE WE WERE DONE THE CAR STARTED TO SPUTTER AND ACT LIKE IT WAS OUT OF FUEL. I TURNED IT OFF AND AFTER I RESTARTED IT RAN FINE BUT ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. LIGHT WENT OFF AFTER ABOUT 50 MILES. FROM CHRISTMAS 2012 TO FEBRUARY 20, 2013 THAT SPUTTERING HAPPENED OCCASIONALLY AND THEN TURNED INTO A LITTLE WORSE OF AN ISSUE AND MY ENGINE POWER REDUCED MESSAGE STARTED COMING ON AND I'D HAVE TO STOP AND RESTART THE CAR BEFORE IT WOULD QUIT.THE CAR WOULD BE 'SPUTTERING' OR FEEL AS THOUGH I WAS RUNNING OUT OF GAS. IT GOT TO WHERE WHEN THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED MESSAGE CAME ON, BEFORE I COULD EVEN PULL OVER TO SHUT IT OFF THE 'SPUTTERING' WAS SO BAD THAT MY CHECK STABILITRAC MESSAGE WOULD COME ON TOO. I NOTICED THAT MY MPG HAD WENT DOWN ALSO. 2-20-13, I PARKED THE CAR AND DIDN'T DRIVE IT AGAIN UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP COULD LOOK AT IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 2-26-13 AND I GOT IT BACK TODAY 2-28-13. THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND SOME OF THE WIRING FOR THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT RUNS LIKE A DREAM (SO FAR ANYWAY). IN FACT, I'M NOT SURE THAT IT EVER RAN THIS WELL THE ENTIRE TIME I'VE OWNED IT. *TR

A MECHANIC TOLD US AFTER INSPECTING THAT THE FUEL TANK HAD A BAD LEAK BUT WOULDN'T TOUCH IT BECAUSE HE KNOW OF A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHEN WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IT TURNED OUT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP BUT WE WERE TOLD THAT THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. *TR
