ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL PROBLEMS THAT HAVE BEEN FIXED, HOWEVER ONE REMAINS. THERE IS A POPPING NOISE, COMING FROM THE BACK END, RESULTING IN MANY POPS IN A SERIES, AND THEN IT WON'T DO IT AGAIN. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER A COLD START AND DRIVING IT FOR A COUPLE MINUTES THEN COMING TO A STOP. HOWEVER IT HAS HAPPENED IMMEDIATELY AT START UP AND DURING THE COURSE OF DRIVING FOR THE FIRST COUPLE MINUTES.*JB

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, STRUCTURE
I AM EXPERIENCING AN EXTREMELY STRONG MILDEW SMELL INSIDE MY EQUINOX. IT IS SO STRONG PEOPLE COMMENT OUTSIDE THE CAR. THE SMELL ALSO PENETRATES CLOTHING SO THAT OTHERS NOTICE THE SMELL. PEOPLE WILL NOT RIDE IN MY CAR. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER TWICE. BOTH TIMES THE ODOR IMPROVES SLIGHTLY (THEY DEPDORIZE THE HVAC) BUT STILL OTHERS COMMENT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING MY 3 YEAR OLD B/C OF THE SMELL. WE HAVE FOUND NO VISIBLE WETNESS OR MOLD. THE RUBBER AROUND TWO WINDOWS WAS LOOSE BUT THE DEALER DID NOT FIND WATER INSIDE THE DOOR. THE SMELL DOES NOT SEEM TO BE COMING FROM THE VENTS BUT MORES SO JUST FROM THE CAR. *NM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:ANTI-THEFT:CONTROL MODULE, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
(1) ON OR ABOUT 10/27/06, ALARM SYSTEM DEACTIVATED ITSELF, INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS TURNED ON, DOORS REMAINED LOCKED. (2) ON 11/01/06, ALARM SYSTEM ACTIVATED ITSELF, DOORS LOCKED THEMSELVES. (3) ON 11/27/06, VEHICLE SHUTTERED AND WENT INTO 'LIMP' MODE WHICH MAY HAVE CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. ONSTAR AND DEALER RETRIEVED THE FOLLOWING ERROR CODES: (I) P1626 - THEFT DETERRENT FUEL ENABLE SIGNAL LOST, (II) C0276 - TRACTION CONTROL NOT ALLOWED (TCM / ABS), (III) U0100 - LOST COMMUNICATIONS WITH TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM), (IV) U2105 - LOST COMMUNICATION WITH ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM). BETWEEN 11/27/06 AND 12/21/06, DEALER SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED BCM THREE TIMES AND 3RD NEW BCM FIXED PROBLEM. EACH NEW BCM WOULD GO TO ZERO (0) AND THE MILEAGE COULD NOT BE PROGRAMMED. DURING THAT TIME THE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM WAS DEACTIVATED WHICH WAS UNKNOWN TO ME. CURRENT MILEAGE IS INCORRECT. I BELIEVE THAT THE ORIGINAL FAULTY BCM MAY HAVE BEEN RE-INSTALLED AND THE CODES CLEARED WHEN THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE OTHER NONE-BCM ERROR CODES HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED BUT THE DEALER FORCED ME TO TAKE MY VEHICLE HOME ON 12/21/06. *NM

MY 2005 EQUINOX SHIMMIES WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AT ABOUT 40-50 MPH ROTORS WERE RESURFACED 1 TIME AND BRAKES WERE REPLACED WHEN VEHICLE HAD 30,000 MILES TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS DUST BUILD UP THEY TOOK APART AND CLEANED VEHICLE NOW HAS 40000 MILES AND THE SAME PROBLEM IS BACK AGAIN SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS I THINK DEALERSHIP SHOULD FIX AT NO COST TO OWNER OF VEHICLE. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, STEERING:COLUMN
WE PURCHASED A 2005 CHEVY EQUINOX IN SEPTEMBER OF 2005. THROUGH OUR RESEARCH, THIS WAS ONE OF THE ONLY VEHICLES THAT WOULD ACCOMMODATE 2 REAR FACING CHILD SEATS WITH SAFE OPERATION. THE EQUINOX NOW HAS APPROXIMATELY 16, 000 MILES ON IT. ON 11 NOVEMBER 2006, MY WIFE AND OUR 14 MONTH OLD TWIN DAUGHTERS WERE ON THEIR WAY TO VISIT HER FRIEND. I RECEIVE A PHONE CALL FROM MY WIFE. SHE IS FRANTICALLY SCREAMING TO ME THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE EQUINOX. SHE EXPLAINS THAT WHEN SHE APPLIES THE BRAKES AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45 -50 MPH, SHE IS EXPERIENCING A VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE VEHICLE'S FRONT END AND THE STEERING WHEEL, AND FEELS THAT SHE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. I ADVISE HER TO DECREASE HER SPEED AND CONTINUE TO HER FRIENDS HOUSE AND THAT I WILL RETURN HOME AND TAKE OUR SUBARU TO MEET HER. WE SWITCH VEHICLES. ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY, I ACCELERATE TO APPROXIMATELY 65-70 MPH AND NOTICE TRAFFIC BACKING UP DUE TO POLICE ACTIVITY DOWN THE ROAD. I APPLY THE BRAKES SLIGHTLY AND THE EQUINOX BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY TO THE POINT THAT IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE FRONT WHEELS ARE PULLING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS, AND I AM HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME KEEPING THE VEHICLE BETWEEN THE MARKED LANES. THE STEERING WHEEL IS ALSO SHAKING AND I HAVE TO GRIP IT TIGHTLY TO HOLD ON. I DON'T RECALL HAVING EXPERIENCED A STEERING WHEEL SHAKE THIS VIOLENTLY. AFTER DECREASING TO ABOUT 50 MPH, THE SHAKING SUBSIDED TO THE POINT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CONTROLLABLE WITHIN THE LANES. THIS OCCURRED SEVERAL MORE TIMES DURING THE RIDE HOME, SO I SUSTAINED A SPEED THAT WAS SAFE FOR MYSELF AND THE OTHER MOTORISTS. A TRIP THAT WOULD TAKE A LITTLE OVER AN HOUR TOOK ABOUT 2 HOURS TO COMPLETE WITH MINIMAL TRAFFIC. BEING THAT THIS OCCURRED OVER A WEEKEND, WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THE CHEVY TO THE DEALERSHIP OR A REPAIR STATION TO HAVE IT CHECKED. AFTER HAVING THE CHEVY CHECKED I WILL NOTIFY YOUR ADMINISTRATION OF THE OUTCOME. *NM

EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:ACCESSORY SCISSOR/SCREW/BOTTLE JACK/LIFT
I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY EQUINOX COMPANY VEHICLE. ON THURSDAY THE 26TH OF OCTOBER, I HAD TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE ON THE PASSENGERS FRONT. THE VEHICLE WAS ON LEVEL GROUND. WHILE THE CAR WAS IN THE RAISED POSITION, I REMOVED THE FLAT AND PROCEEDED TO REPLACE IT WITH THE SPARE. AS I WAS DOING SO, THE SCISSOR JACK COLLAPSED BY BENDING OVER IN HALF. ON NOV. 1ST, I WENT TO SALE AUTOMOTIVE IN KINSTON, NC. TO SHOW THEM THE JACK. THEY ORDERED ME A NEW ONE. I STILL HAVE THE OLD JACK UNTIL THE NEW ONE COMES IN. *NM

TIRES
REPLACED TIRES ON MY 2005 CHEVROLET EQUINOX WITH ONLY 11,000 MILES. PRIOR TO THIS, I HAD TO GET AN ALIGNMENT HOWEVER, THE TIRES STILL WENT BAD. AFTER I PURCHASED MY NEW SET OF TIRES, I WENT BACK TO HAVE THEM ROTATED AFTER THERE RECOMMENDED MILES OF 5,000 AND THE TIRES ARE WEARING AGAIN. I HAD LESS THAN 18,000 MILES ON IT THIS TIME AROUND. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO KEEP REPLACING TIRES EVERY 5,000 MILES. THE GARAGE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD REPLACED THE TIRES ON SEVERAL MORE EQUINOX THAT SAME DAY WITH JUST ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF MILES AS MINE. *NM

STEERING
I NEARLY RAN OFF THE ROAD AT 70 MPH AS I REACHED TO TURN ON THE DEFROSTER. I WAS SAVED BY THE SLEEP STRIP, WHICH SLOWED THE CAR DOWN ENOUGH TO REGAIN CONTROL. THIS CAR HAS VERY LOOSE AND ERRATIC STEERING AND WOBBLES WHEN CHANGING LANES. I MUST SLOW DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY TO GO AROUND CURVES, EVEN ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAD TAKEN IT IN FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS 3 TIMES PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. THE DEALER STATES THAT IT IS THE ELECTRONIC STEERING ON THIS MODEL CAR. AFTER THE INCIDENT, I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A "CHARACTERISTIC OF FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES". I FEEL THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING IN THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE. *NM

STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON FRIDAY JULY 14, 2006 MY WIFE CAME OUT OF WORK AT AROUND 4:00 PM ON A VERY HOT DAY AND ATTEMPTED TO START HER EQUINOX & WHEN IT STARTED, THE POWER STEERING WAS NOT ENGAGED. I LEFT IN THE MIDDLE OF A GAME OF GOLF AND WENT TO HER AID. WHEN I GOT THERE AND STARTED THE CAR, THE STEERING WORKED FINE. WE LEFT IT A THE DEALER FOR THE NEXT WEEK WHERE THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THEY DID RECOVER AN ERROR CODE INDICATING SOMETHING FAILED IN THE IGNITION. THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION. THIS PROBLEM AGAIN OCCURRED ON FRIDAY SEPT. 18, 2006 AT APPROXIMATELY 4:00 PM ON ANOTHER VERY HOT DAY. I CALLED TO GET IT TOWED & WHEN THEY ARRIVED APPROXIMATELY 2 HRS LATER, THE PROBLEM AGAIN WAS NOT APPARENT. I HAD IT TOWED ONCE MORE TO THE DEALER AND INFORMED THEM THAT I FELT IT WAS RELATED TO A VERY HOT INTERIOR. THEY HAD IT THE ENTIRE NEXT WEEK AND AGAIN FOUND NO PROBLEMS, HOWEVER, THEY REPLACED ALL OF THE ELECTRONICS IN THE STEERING COLUMN THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. SUNDAY SEPT 17, 2006 AFTER HAVING THE CAR 2 DAYS, IT FROZE UP TWICE AGAIN WHILE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. ALL PROBLEMS OCCURRED ON HOT DAYS WHERE THE CAR WAS CLOSED UP. THE DEALER CURRENTLY HAS THE CAR AGAIN AND IS TELLING ME THAT HE SEES NO PROBLEM. I AM WONDERING WHY I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE & WHY MY CAR COMPANY IS APPEARING TO BE OF LITTLE OR NO HELP. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR, SUSPENSION
MY WIFE AND I BOUGHT THIS 2005 EQUINOX IN MARCH OF 2005. IT HAD 9K MILES ON IT. A FEW TIMES AFTER THAT IT DID NOT SOUND LIKE IT WAS GOING TO START. WHEN IT DID THE WHOLE VEHICLE SHOOK, IT WAS LIKE STARTING A MANUAL IN GEAR. AT AROUND 12K MILES THE FRONT END STARTED SHAKING WHEN THE WERE BRAKES APPLIED. TOOK IT IN TO BE SERVICED IN FEBRUARY 2006 AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK BRAKES. THEY SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. THEY DID NOT FEEL ANYTHING. CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM CHECK THE BRAKES AGAIN. WHEN WE DID THEY TOLD US THE ROTORS WERE WARPED. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ALREADY. STILL HAS HALF THE LIFE ON THE BRAKES. TODAY WE TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THE SHOCKS AND STRUTS REPLACED. THIS WAS DUE TO A LOUD NOISE WE KEPT HEARING. HOPEFULLY THAT FIXED THAT PROBLEM. AS FAR AS THE BRAKES AND ROTORS, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US NOT TO WORRY ABOUT HAVING NEW ROTORS PUT ON UNTIL THE BRAKES WERE WORN. IT IS REALLY DANGEROUS ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN SOMEONE SLOWS DOWN IN FRONT OF YOU WHEN YOU'RE DOING 50 TO 65 MPH AND IT DON'T FEEL LIKE YOUR GOING TO STOP. WE WERE TOLD THIS WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS. I AM DONE WITH CHEVROLET. *JB

I HAVE TRIED PLAYING A VARIETY OF CD'S AND I CAN'T GET THEM TO WORK. IT HAS WORKED UP TO THIS POINT. BUT NOW IT WON'T WORK AT ALL. IT SPITS OUT THE CD AFTER IT SKIPS AND WON'T PLAY.

IN ADDITION, THE AIR CONDITIONER UNIT FELL OFF THE BRACKET WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. UPDATED10/04/06. *JB
