ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM, VISIBILITY
THE BLEND DOOR IN MY 2006 CHEVY EQUINOX LT IS BROKEN. THE KNOB THAT TURNS IT FROM COLD TO HOT IS CRACKED AND I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT THIS PIECE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN BROKEN AND IT IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. IT IS ONLY BLOWING COLD AIR. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I CAN'T DEFROST MY WINDSHIELD ON A COLD DAY WITH COLD AIR. I HAVE DRIVEN WITH FOGGED WINDOWS AND WINDSHIELD ALMOST HITTING OBJECTS ON THE ROAD BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING. THE REPAIRS ARE EXPENSIVE AND GM NEEDS TO PLACE A RECALL ON THIS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
01/21/2011 THE EQUINOX WOULD NOT TURN OVER AND WAS HAULED TO THE DEALER. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, THERE APPEARED TO BE A SLOW LOSS OF COOLANT, REQUIRING A GALLON OF COOLANT TO BE ADDED OVER THE PREVIOUS THREE MONTH PERIOD. THERE WERE NO LEAKS ON THE GARAGE FLOOR, NOR ANY INTERIOR CABIN LEAKS APPARENT, BUT THERE HAD BEEN A "SYRUPY" SMELL IN THE PASSENGER CABIN. THE DEALER PUT IN A NEW BATTERY AND ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THE HEATER CORE WAS LEAKING. THE NEW BATTERY AND HEATER CORE REPLACEMENT TOTALED $1090.11. APPARENTLY, WHEN THE BATTERY DIED, THE DIAGNOSTICS CODES RELATING TO THIS INCIDENT WERE LOST. 03/16/2011 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED FREQUENTLY IN THE PAST BUT HAD ALWAYS BEEN RELATED TO A LOOSE GAS CAP AND WAS EASILY REMEDIED BY TIGHTENING THE CAP. WHEN THAT SOLUTION DID NOT WORK, THE EQUINOX WAS TAKEN INTO THE LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP. IT WAS THEN DIAGNOSED AS NEEDING A HEAD GASKET REPLACEMENT, WHERE IT IS NOW BEING REPAIRED. THE REPAIR TOTAL IS EXPECTED TO BE ABOUT $1400. IN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS, THIS VEHICLE (WITH ONLY 68K MILES ON IT) HAS REQUIRED AT LEAST $2400 DOLLARS IN HEATER CORE AND ENGINE HEAD GASKET REPAIR COSTS. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE HEATER CORE LEAKS WERE LIKELY TO HAVE HAD THE SUBSEQUENT EFFECT OF COMPROMISING THE INTEGRITY OF THE HEAD GASKET. I HAVE FOUND MANY DOCUMENTED REFERENCES TO SIMILAR PROBLEMS OCCURRING IN THIS ENGINE MAKE, THE 3.4L GM V6. THERE ALSO SEEMS TO BE A RELATED LINK TO PROBLEMS WITH THE TYPE OF COOLANT USED IN THIS ENGINE (DEX COOL). AT THIS POINT, I AM NOT AWARE THAT GM HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE IS PROBLEM. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT SO THAT IT CAN BE ADDED TO THE MOUNTING EVIDENCE OF PRODUCT DEFECTS IN THIS ENGINE TYPE.

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
COMPLAINANT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET EQUINOX WHERE THE HEAT AND DEFROSTER SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING ON MARCH 1, 2011. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE AIR TEMP ACTUATOR OVER ACTUATED AND BROKE THE AIR TEMP DOOR. THE AIR TEMP DOOR AND ACTUATOR ARE NOW FAULTY AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. ESTIMATE OF $1200 OF WHICH MOST OF THE COST IS LABOR DUE TO NEED TO DISASSEMBLE ALL OF THE DASHBOARD TO REPLACE PART. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT OF THE VEHICLE MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR AND MANUFACTURER HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL. VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. *TR

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING THE CHECK STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON, AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AS WELL. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO PROBLEM IN HANDLING OR OPERATION, BUT THE LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF, THEN STAY ON.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW EQUINOX FROM CHEVROLET IN 08/31/2010. SINCE 10/30/2010, I'VE HAD ONGOING ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. TWO INCIDENTS OF WHICH, I ALMOST HAD NEAR-DEATH CAR ACCIDENTS. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I AM IN A RENTAL CAR, TOTALING TO ABOUT A MONTH SO FAR IN RENTALS. FIRST INCIDENT IN OCTOBER, I HAD TO DRIVE WITH MY HAZARDS ON TO EVEN GET TO THE DEALERSHIP. MY SPEEDOMETER AND TECH WOULD ACCELERATE, HOWEVER, IT FELT LIKE I WAS IN NEUTRAL. IT WAS SERVICED FOR ABOUT 2-3 WEEKS AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. THEN 2 WEEKS AGO, I HAD JUST GOT OFF A 3-LANE 65 MPH HIGHWAY, WHEN MY VEHICLE STALLED ON ME. I REMEMBER LOOKING DOWN AT THE DASH WHILE I WAS DRIVING, THE SPEEDOMETER SAID I WAS GOING 100 MPH BUT I WASN'T MOVING. I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED BEING ON A HIGHWAY. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER A LANE AND PULL OVER. THE CAR WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO MOVE OR REVERSE. I WAS IN A RENTAL FOR ABOUT A WEEK WHILE THEY EXAMINED MY CAR. CHEVROLET/GM SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR AND FORCED ME TO RETURN THE RENTAL AND DRIVE MY CAR. I HAVE WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION STATED THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. NOW THE THIRD INCIDENT, I WAS DRIVING IN PHILADELPHIA ON A WAY TO A WEDDING. MY CAR STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES, CAUSING ME TO PULL OVER ON BROAD STREET ABOUT 4 TIMES, JUST TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND ON TO ATTEMPT TO MOVE IT. IT WAS A HAZARD TO MYSELF AND ON THE ROAD, I ALMOST GOT HIT MULTIPLE TIMES. CHEVROLET SAID THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR, BUT HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO TRUST THEM WHEN THEY NEVER TRUSTED ME WHEN I SAID SOMETHING WAS WRONG. THIS CAR IS BRAND-NEW AND THIS IS THE THIRD OCCURRENCE OF THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL COMPLETELY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND MY CONFIDENCE HAS PLUMMETED. PLEASE ADVISE ME OF WHAT TO DO. *TR

MY 2005 CHEVY EQUINOX FAILS TO START SOMETIMES. IT TURNS OVER LIKE IT WANTS TO START BUT NOTHING. I'VE HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. STEPPING ON THE GAS WILL USUALLY GET THE CAR TO FINALLY START BUT NOT ALWAYS. IT IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN. THE BATTERY, STARTER, ETC HAS BEEN CHECKED AND THEY'RE FINE. NEXT STEP IS CHANGING FUEL PUMP (VERY EXPENSIVE) BUT NONE OF THE LOCAL GARAGES SEEM TO THINK THAT IS REALLY THE PROBLEM AS THEY SEE THIS A LOT ON THE EQUINOX. *TR

STARTED SMELLING GASOLINE AFTER LEAVING MY 2007 CHEVY EQUINOX PARKED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. THEN MY EQUINOX HAD DIFFICULTY STARTING AFTER BEING PARKED OVERNIGHT. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER, AND THEY FOUND A CRACKED FUEL TANK AND A LEAK IN THE FUEL PUMP. THE COST FOR THE FUEL TANKS WAS $1,000, BUT THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO APPLY A ONE-TIME GM SAFETY FIX, WHERE I ONLY PAID $200 AND GM COVERED THE REST. THE LEAK IN THE FUEL PUMP WAS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. *TR

AIR BAGS, STEERING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I PURCHASED MY CAR IN DEC. 2007 AND HAVE HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES SINCE JAN. 2008. AT FIRST IT WAS SIMPLE THINGS LIKE REPLACING THE RADIO IN APR. 2008 (UNDER WARRANTY), FAULTY WIPER SWITCH IN SEPT. 2009 (UNDER WARRANTY). THEN IN OCT. 2010 I HAD TO PAY $175.54 TO REPLACE A FAULTY SPARK PLUG AND WIRE. BUT FEBRUARY 2011 HAS BEEN THE WORST! ON 2/10/11 I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MOUNTAIN IN BAD WEATHER ON MY WAY TO WORK WHEN MY ENTIRE DASHBOARD LIT UP, STABILITRACK DISABLED, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL TURNED OFF, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT; I COULDN'T DRIVE FASTER THAN 20 MPH WITHOUT MY CAR SLIDING ALL OVER THE PLACE. I WAS TERRIFIED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE VACUUM LINE WASN'T PLUGGED BACK IN DURING MY LAST OIL CHANGE AND THAT'S WHAT WAS CAUSING IT. I DROVE HOME AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED ALL THE LIGHTS LIT UP AGAIN. BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 2/16/2011. DIRTY SENSOR, THEY CLEANED IT. I PICKED UP MY CAR AND ALL THE LIGHTS WERE ON AGAIN SO THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR COSTING ME $174.54. EIGHT DAYS LATER MY CAR IS BACK IN THE SHOP. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, STABILITRACK LIGHT CAME ON AND MY POWER STEERING FAILED. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS ELECTRICAL AND I MOST LIKELY WONT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT BUT I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR AT ALL ANYMORE. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUES AND SOME ARE WORSE THAN MINE. GM NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND RECALL THIS VEHICLE. AND FOR YEARS MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG HASN'T WORKED PROPERLY. I'M 112LBS AND IT DOESN'T TURN ON WHEN I'M SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS CAN'T BE SAFE!

STEERING
ON 2/21/11, I WAS OPERATING MY 2010 CHEVY "EQUINOX" ON I-95. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR AND HALF START I BEGAN TO HAVE STEERING PROBLEMS. TRAVELING AT A SUSTAINED SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 70MPH I BEGAN TO NOTICE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS STICKING, WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PASS A SLOWER VEHICLE. THE LONGER I TRAVELED, THE PROBLEM BECAME MORE NOTICEABLE. THIS SITUATION CONTINUED FOR AT LEAST FOUR HOURS, UNTIL I LEFT THE INTERSTATE AND ENTERED A SECONDARY HIGHWAY, WHERE THE SPEED WAS SLOWER AND MORE TRAFFIC, WHICH REQUIRED MORE MOVEMENT IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS SITUATION KIND OF CAUGHT ME BY SURPRISE SINCE THE VEHICLE HAD 26,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN OPERATED IN THIS TYPE OF DRIVING NUMEROUS TIMES. IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO "STICK" AT SLOWER SPEEDS OR IN TRAFFIC. BUT I FEEL IT COULD CATCH AN INDIVIDUAL OFF GUARD, WHO MAY NOT BE AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP (2/22/11) THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM NOR DID THE COMPUTER INDICATE SOMETHING HAD HAPPENED. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET/GMC VIA PHONE AND E-MAIL. THEIR RESPONSE EACH TIME LEFT ME WITH THE IMPRESSION THEY APPRECIATED THE INFORMATION. I'VE INDICATED TO THEM THEY HAVE A SLEEPER WITH THIS ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE, THAT THE CAR WAS SAFE OR IF THEY HAD A PROBLEM. THIS CAR HAS A PROBLEM "A SLEEPER". AND ACCORDING TO THE WEB I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS A PROBLEM, WHICH COULD LED TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED A 2011 CHEV. EQUINOX ON 1/14/2011 AND THE BATTERY KEEPS GOING DEAD ON ME WHILE IT SITS IN MY GARAGE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW. IT HAS 623 MILES ON IT. I DON'T DRIVE IT EVERY DAY BUT IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN I OPEN THE BACK HATCH AND CLOSE IT. I MAKE SURE IT IS SHUT TIGHT AND ALSO THAT NO LIGHTS ARE LEFT ON. I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM AND HE SAID TO TAKE IT TO A CHEV. DEALER AND HAVE THEM CHECK THE BATTERY AND ALSO RUN A PERASTATIC DRAW TEST ON IT. THE ONE DEALER I CALLED DID NOT SEEM INTERESTED IN DOING THIS AS HE STATED HE HAD NO OPENINGS EXCEPT THE FOLLOWING WEEK. WHEN I PLANNED ON TAKING IT IN THE BATTERY WAS AGAIN DEAD AND I AM NOW CHARGING IT UP AGAIN. I REALLY WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT IS HAPPENING TO IT. I HAVE A 2006 SILVERADO AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT. I ALSO HAD A 2004 BUICK LESABRE THAT GAVE ME THE SAME PROBLEM AS MY EQUINOX. IF THEY WERE NOT DRIVEN EVERY DAY OR SO THE BATTERIES WENT DEAD. NO DEALER COULD FIND THE PROBLEM WITH MY BUICK SO I GOT RID OF IT. ALSO THE EQUINOX SEEMS TO HESITATE BEFORE IT SHIFTS INTO ANOTHER GEAR. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE OR MILEAGE VEHICLE MESSED UP FIRST TIME. WE BOUGHT IT ON JANUARY 19, 2011, MESSED UP WITHIN FIRST FEW DAYS OF HAVING IT. IT'S HAPPENED TWICE, WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED, BUT IN DRIVE (EX. RED LIGHT), THEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL IT WILL EITHER NOT GO AT ALL, OR BARELY GO AND THEN NOT GO ANY FURTHER. HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, SHUT OFF, THEN TURN CAR BACK ON TO MAKE IT WORK RIGHT. TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES, THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG OR DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, OR ANY LIGHTS AT ALL. CONTACTED GM ALSO, THEY ARE NOT MUCH HELP EITHER, SAY WE HAVE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BEFORE TAKING ANY FURTHER STEPS. DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THE CAR, I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN. THEY HAVE BEEN WITH ME BOTH TIMES IT HAS MESSED UP. THE FIRST TIME WE WERE STRANDED BETWEEN TWO LANES OF ON COMING TRAFFIC.
