FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
2006 CHEVY EQUINOX FUEL GAUGES DOES NOT READ ACCURATE. WHEN FULL IT READS 3/4 OF TANK TO 1/2. IT WILL THEN GO TO ALMOST FULL AS GAS GOES DOWN. I NOTICED THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FROM OTHERS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM AS IT IS NOT SAFE WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL YOU HAVE. GM SAYS ITS A CORROSION PROBLEM WITH THE SENDER IN THE TANK. SHOULDN'T THAT BE THERE PROBLEM TO FIX? SEEMS THEY CHOSE THE WRONG MATERIAL TO USE IN THE TANK IF THAT IS THE CASE. I HAVE NEVER OWNED ANY OTHER CAR WHICH HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. GM SAYS THE SENDING UNIT NEEDS REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $500.00 INCLUDING LABOR. *TR

VISIBILITY
THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW 'IMPLODED' IN SEPT. '07 ON MY 2005 CHEVY EQUINOX FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE GLASS WAS REPAIRED ( THROUGH CAR INS.) AND THEY MENTIONED (GLASS DOCTOR) THAT THEY'VE HAD A LOT OF GLASS REPAIRS FOR EQUINOX. THE REPAIRMAN MENTIONED THAT THE 'CABLE' FOR THE WINDOW WAS LOOSE & THAT THE WINDOW WOULD NO LONGER GO UP OR DOWN. I HAD THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED A FEW MONTHS PRIOR (DEFECT, ALSO-NO VISIBLE DAMAGE) HAVE BEEN CHECKING ON 'RECALLS' FOR THIS, BUT HAVE NOT FOUND ANY...JUST COMPLAINTS. WON'T DRIVE IT UNLESS I HAVE TO FOR FEAR OF EXPLODING GLASS. MY INSURANCE CO. SUGGESTED I FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE DEALERSHIP, BUT IT WAS PURCHASED IN LA & I AM NOW IN GA. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
I BOUGHT A NEW 2005 EQUINOX BACK IN MARCH OF '05. OVER THIS YEAR-2008- I HAVE PROBLEMS JUST GETTING MY KEY TO TURN IN THE IGNITION. I HAVE TO WIGGLE IT BACK AND FORTH FOR A FEW MINUTES UNTIL IT CATCHES AND TURNS OVER. I CAN'T GET IN AND JUST START MY CAR. I CAN TURN MY KEY MAYBE AN INCH AND I HAVE TO TURN IT BACK AND KEEP WIGGLING IT UNTIL IT "GIVES" FOR ME TO TURN ALL THE WAY. OF COURSE, MY WARRANTY WAS UP AT 36,000 MILES WHICH I HAVE SURPASSED A FEW THOUSAND MILES AGO. I AM TRYING TO GET SOME $$ TOGETHER (THINGS ARE VERY TIGHT AS EVERYONE KNOWS!) TO GET IT LOOKED OUT. I DON'T KNOW IF THE LOCK IS MISALIGNED OR WHAT? I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS TO BE FIXED BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF FEEDBACK ON INTERNET FROM PEOPLE THAT HAVE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS TYPE OF CAR. I AM NOT TAKING IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO PAY HUNDREDS OR POSSIBLY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. I WILL TAKE IT TO A LOCAL REPUTABLE MECHANIC WHO IS VERY TRUSTWORTHY AND REASONABLE. *TR

SEPTEMBER 12, 2006 VEHICLE INTO THE GARAGE BECAUSE THE PREVIOUS EVENING WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, SMOKE AND A BURNING SMELL WAS COMING OUT FROM INSIDE THE STEERING COLUMN. AT THIS VISIT I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY WASN'T EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THE VEHICLE WAS CHECKED AND NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND. JANUARY 18, 2008 VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN BECAUSE THE KEY WAS STICKING IN THE IGNITION CAUSING THE ENGINE TO REV AND THEN THE ENGINE WOULD SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IGNITION CYLINDER WAS CLEANED AND LUBED. APRIL 24, 2008 VEHICLE TAKEN INTO THE GARAGE FOR IGNITION STICKING AND THEN VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF. AGAIN, CYLINDER WAS CLEANED AND LUBED. MAY 1, 2008 VEHICLE TAKEN INTO GARAGE AGAIN SAME PROBLEM. TECHNICIAN NOTED THAT THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG, BUT THE IGNITION CYLINDER WAS REPLACED AND A NEW KEY WAS CUT. AFTER PICKING THE VEHICLE UP, THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED. SEPTEMBER 11, 2008 VEHICLE TAKEN BACK WITH IDENTICAL PROBLEM OF THE KEY STICKING IN THE IGNITION, REVVING THE ENGINE AND THEN THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF. CYLINDER WAS CLEANED AND LUBED. OCTOBER 24, 2008 VEHICLE BACK INTO THE GARAGE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. AT THIS TIME THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AND ASKED IF THEY COULD KEEP IT OVER THE WEEKEND OR RETURN THE VEHICLE ON THE MORNING OF MONDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2008 AND LET THEM CONTINUE TO LOOK AT IT. ON OCTOBER 27, 2008 THE VEHICLE WAS DROPPED OFF. TECHNICIAN COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE REMAINED AT THE GARAGE UNTIL OCTOBER 30, 2008 AT WHICH TIME THEY AGAIN TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND I NEEDED TO COME PICK IT UP. THE ABOVE DESCRIBED PROBLEM HAS BEEN ON-GOING SINCE THE ISSUE IN SEPTEMBER 2006. IT OCCURS SPORADICALLY AND DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE ANY CONNECTION TO THE WEATHER, THE TIME OF DAY, ETC. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
PURCHASED VEHICLE IN SEPT 07 AND STARTED NOTICING A KNOCKING NOISE FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE AT ABOUT 2000 MILES. THE NOISE WOULD OCCUR DURING SLOW REVERSE, SLOW FORWARD, AND TURNING AT SLOW SPEEDS AT INTERMITTENT TIMES. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERS AND THEY HAVE ALL STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT HEAR THE NOISE. I AM CURRENTLY AT 21,000 MILES AND WE STILL HEAR THE NOISE AND WE CAN NOT FIND ANYONE WILLING TO PERFORM THE PROPER CHECK ON THE VEHICLE TO LOCATE THE CAUSE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2005 EQUINOX. IT STARTED OVERHEATING AND LOSING COOLANT, THOUGH THERE WAS NO LEAK UNDERNEATH. BROUGHT IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME I HAD A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. I EMAILED CHEVY BUT BECAUSE ITS NOT AT A DEALERSHIP REFUSE TO HELP ANY WITH THE PROBLEM. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW SOMETHING SO MAJOR CAN BREAK ON A 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. *TR

EQUIPMENT, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, STEERING
THE CHEVY EQUINOX IS OVER-ALL A PIECE OF GARBAGE. EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2004 IT HAS GIVEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW, BUT I DOESN'T PERFORM LIKE A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. SINCE I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE IT HAS OVER HEATED ON ME, THE AC SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPAIRED, THE GAGE LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON AS IF SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, WHEN I DRIVE ON THE EXPRESS WAY AND HIT 60 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL START SHAKING WHEN AS I'M BRAKING, THE ONE BELT THAT THE EQUINOX HAS SNAPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING, AND THREE WEEKS AFTER I GOT THE BELT FIXED AS I WAS DRIVING AND I TURNED ON THE AC THE VEHICLE STARTED SMOKING. KEEP IN MIND THAT MY WARRANTY EXPIRED EARLIER THIS YEAR SO MAJORITY OF THESE EXPENSES ARE COMING OUT OF MY POCKET, AND GUESS WHAT, YESTERDAY ON 9NOV2008 THE EQUINOX DIED ON ME. I CAN'T EVEN GET IT TO START. WHEN I TURN THE KEY ALL THE VEHICLE IS DOING IS MAKING A CLICKING NOISE BUT IT'S NOT TURNING OVER. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE BATTERY BECAUSE THE HORN WORKS, THE GAGE LIGHTS COME ON, THE RADIO WORKS, BUT IT'S JUST NOT TURNING OVER. IT'S BACK IN THE SHOP AGAIN, AND THERE'S NO TELLING HOW MUCH THIS IS GOING TO SET ME BACK. THIS VEHICLE HAS GIVEN ME AND MY WIFE SO MUCH HEART ACHE, AND WHAT I JUST LISTED WERE SOME OF THE HIGH LIGHTS OF PROBLEMS THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS GIVEN US. TIMES ARE TOUGH RIGHT NOW AND THIS EQUINOX IS NOT MAKING THINGS ANY EASIER. THE GM COMPANY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES FOR MAKING SUCH A CRAPPY PRODUCT SUCH AS THIS VEHICLE. NEVER AGAIN WILL I EVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY OR ANY OTHER GM PRODUCT. I REGRET EVER BUYING THIS VEHICLE. *TR

A FEW MONTHS AGO MY HUSBANDS MOTHER DROVE HIS 2005 CHEVY EQUINOX TO THE STORE AND THE BATTERY DIED. THEY JUMPED THE CAR AND EVERYTHING HAS BEEN FINE UNTIL A FEW DAYS AGO. WE HAD TO JUMP START MY HUSBANDS CAR A FEW DAYS AGO AND THAT IS WHEN HE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THE CD PLAYER STAYING ON AFTER THE CAR WAS OFF. WHEN YOU LISTEN TO THE CD PLAYER IT SOUNDS LIKE PLAYER IS TRYING TO EJECT A CD BUT IT WONT AND EVENTUALLY IT SAYS ON THE SCREEN "CD CHANGER ERROR." IT EVEN DOES THIS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF SO IT ENDS UP KILLING THE BATTERY. MY HUSBAND HAS TO UNPLUG THE FUSE FOR THE CD PLAYER OR IT DRAINS HIS BATTERY. AND STILL HAVING IT UNPLUGGED THE VEHICLE HAS A HARD TIME STARTING BECAUSE IT IS LIKE IT CAN NO LONGER HOLD A CHARGE. WHEN WE MENTIONED THIS TO MY HUSBAND'S MOTHER SHE SAID WHEN IT DIED THE TIME SHE DROVE IT HAD SAID THE SAME THING. I HAVE SEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT. ONE PERSON SAID THAT THEY EVEN REPLACED THE CD PLAYER MULTIPLE TIMES AND EVERY FEW MONTHS IT DOES THE SAME THING. WE ARE GOING TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP HERE AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY, BUT I REALLY FEEL THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY CD PLAYERS AND BATTERIES EVERY FEW MONTHS. THE EQUINOX CAME OUT IN '05 AND IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THIS IS AN ERROR THAT THEY DID NOT FIX BEFORE PRODUCTION. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
I BOUGHT A 2005 EQUINOX 4 MONTHS AGO, PAID $4000.00 DOWN ON THIS CAR AND THEN 2 MONTH LATER I HAD TO PUT OUT $ 956.00 ON THE COOLING SYSTEM. THE AIR COMPRESSOR HAD WENT OUT. NOW 2 MONTHS LATER THE CAR HAD STARTED GETTING A LITTLE OVER HEATED. I PUT ENGINE COOLANT IN IT AND IT SEEMED TO BE DOING BETTER. 2 WEEKS AFTER PUTTING THE ENGINE COOLANT IN IT RUNS HOT AGAIN WORSE THAN BEFORE AND I AM BEING TOLD THAT IT HAS A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. I TOOK IT TO A PLACE THAT I TRUST WITH MY VEHICLE REPAIRS FIRST BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT DUE TO BEING AFRAID IT WOULD MESS IT UP EVEN MORE. THEY CALLED AND TOLD ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND THAT'S WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAY THEY ARE GOING TO COME AND TOW THE VEHICLE TO THEIR SHOP AND CHECK IT OUT AND SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE. OR EITHER SEE ABOUT GIVING ME ANOTHER CAR. I'M NOT GOING TO KEEP PUTTING MONEY OUT TO GET THIS CAR FIXED AND NOTHING IS UNDER WARRANTY ANY MORE. THERE ARE A FEW OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. A COUPLE OF TIMES IT'S ACTED LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO START, AND I CAN GET OUT OF IT AND LOCK IT AND BEFORE I WALK AWAY IT WILL UNLOCK BY IT SELF. ALSO I HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF IT AND THE BELL WILL KEEP DINGING LIKE THE KEY IS STILL IN IT. I'VE NOTICED THAT WHEN I'M MAKING A SHARP TURN THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE NOISE WITH THE FRONT TIRE OR SOMETHING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I CAN'T AFFORD TO BE FIXING THIS CAR EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS. IT'S CRAZY... *TR

EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE SAME PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR OVER A YEAR. WHERE I GO TO START MY CAR, MY KEY TURNS OVER BUT THE ENGINE NEVER KICKS ON. ITS MAKES AN ODD NOISE, NOT GRINDING BUT A NOISE. IT TAKES ABOUT 6-7 TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL KICK ON. ONCE IT FINALLY STARTS THERE IS BLACK SMOKE AND FLUID COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST PIPE. THE RPM'S REV UP TO 8K THAN DOWN TO 4K, THE CAR IDLES AND SOUNDS LIKE IT WANTS TO DIE. I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES SINCE APRIL 15, 2008. SO FAR NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE AND THEY STATE THE CAR IS UP TO GM STANDARDS. I HAVE WASTED MUCH TIME AND MONEY INTO THIS ISSUE AND SOON THE CAR WILL BE OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE A FEELING THAT ONCE THE WARRANTY IS UP THAT THEY WILL CHARGE ME AN ARM AND LEG TO GET IT FIXED. I HAVE A 2006 CHEVROLET EQUINOX WILL A LITTLE BIT UNDER 34K MILES. *TR
