2006 Chevrolet Equinox complaints

WITHIN THE LAST MONTH WHILE I AM DRIVING MY TRUCK WOULD JUST CUT OFF WITH OUT ANY WARNING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD A TUNE UP, THE LEFT WHEEL BARRING CHANGED, FRONT STRUTS DONE AND I HAVE JUST BROUGHT A PCM. MY ABS AND TC LIGHTS STAYS ON AND MY MECHANIC CAN NOT EXPLAIN WHY IT KEEPS CUTTING OFF. I HAVE CHECKED FOR RECALLS FOR THIS YEAR AND THERE ARE NONE LISTED; HOWEVER, I HAVE SEEN SOME ON THE NHTSA SERVICE BULLETIN. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ASSIST ME THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!!!!

A FEW WEEKS AGO WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLES ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON, RIGHT AFTER THAT THE BRAKES HAVE STARTED MAKING A LOUD GRINDING NOISE OR LOCK UP ALTOGETHER TO WHERE I CAN'T STOP. I HAVE DONE PLENTY OF RESEARCH OVER THIS AND IT SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING THING WITH THESE VEHICLES. IF EVERYONE OF THEM IS HAVING THIS ISSUE AND THE BRAKES ARE THAT DANGEROUS, HOW HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I DRIVE, WHETHER GOING DOWN AN INTERSTATE AND HAVING TO HOT MY BRAKES TO JUST DRIVING IN A SMALL TOWN, THEN WHEN I TRY AND GO AGAIN THEY MAKE THE GRINDING NOISE WHILE DRIVING FOR A MINUTE.

I FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS A DANGER, WHEN I BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE JUST GAVE ME A PROBLEM, WHEN I GO RUNNING THE CAR IT GOES AWAY AND I FEEL SCARED, THE LIGHTS NEVER TURN OFF AND I FIXED EVERYTHING, ALWAYS HAS NOISE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING IN THE STREET. ME REGRET HAVING BOUGHT IT.

NO HEAT COMING FROM THE VENTS AND IT WON'T DEFROST THE FRONT WINDSHIELDS OR THE BACK GLASS, MOST FRUSTRATING THINGS IS NOT HEAT IN THE CAR AT ALL DURING WINTER. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP SAID EITHER BLEND DOOR STOP WORKING OR ITS BROKEN . NEED HELP MISS [XXX] MOTHER OF 2 VERY COLD WITH OUT HEAT. STOP WORKING WHEN I LEFT WORK. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

BOUGHT MY 06 EQINOX IN MAY OF 2015. DAY 2, BATTERY DIED. DEALER PUT NEW BATTERY IN. NEXT WEEK, BATTERY DEAD AND TOOK OUT STEREO WITH IT. DEALER REPLACED BATTERY AND STEREO. NOW HAVING TROUBLE STARTING AGAIN. HAVE REPLACED BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS TWICE ON REAR WHEELS AND FRONT ONCE. CAR MAKES GRINDING NOISE STILL WHEN BACKING WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE. ABS AND TC LIGHTS CAME ON MAY OF 2017. HAD CHECKED OUT AND NEEDED FRONT RIGHT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR REPLACED. REPLACED IT AND LIGHT STAYED ON. HAD IT RECHECKED AND IT STILL READS THE SAME. NO BRAKES. PEDAL STUTTERS ON THE WAY DOWN AND THEN HAS TO BE FORCED DOWN THE REST OF THE WAY TO STOP THE CAR. HAD MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND WAS TOLD TO REPLACE ABS MODULE. WE DID AND I FINALLY HAVE BRAKES AGAIN BUT NOW MY BREAK LIGHT IS ON ALONG WITH THE ABS/TC LIGHTS. CAR HAS SUNROOF. HAD CAR 2 YEARS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY BACK FLOOR IS FLOODED. THOUGHT THE KIDS SPILLED WATER. NOPE. SOAKED A BEACH TOWEL CLEANING IT UP. NEXT HARD RAIN, FLOODED AGAIN. LINES ARE CLOGGED AND BACKING UP INTO MY CAR. TWO BEACH TOWELS AND TWO GALLONS LATER OF WATER VACUUMED UP AND MY PADDING IS DAMP AND STILL STINKS LIKE MILDEW. THIS CAR IS BADLY DESIGNED. THE BRAKE SITUATION IS VERY DANGEROUS. LUCKILY THERE WAS AN EMPTY TURN LANE BESIDE ME WHEN IT RAINED OR I WOULD HAVE HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR WHEN TURNING AND WOULDNT STOP ON STRAIGHTAWAYS. THE ELECTRICAL WIRING IN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IS JACKED UP TOO. CAN'T UNLOCK THE DOORS, TURN

AIR BAG IS STUCK TO THE HORN WHICH DISABLED THE ABILITY TO HONK

TEMPERATURE BLEND DOOR CAN CAUSE ACCIDENT CAUSE IT WON'T DEFROST WINDOWS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 63,000.

WHILE ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE ISNT SHIFTING IN THE PROPER WAY IT SHOULD. THERE IS A CHAIN RATTLING KIND OF SOUND FROM THE ENGINE AS IT ACCELERATES, CLOSER TO THE DRIVER SIDE. WHILE BRAKING, THE BRAKES PADS ARE ALL NEW, IT WILL SOMETIMES MAKE A GRINDING SOUND AND HAVE LITTLE TO NO BRAKE RESISTANCE IF YOU HIT A BUMP. ALL IN A STRAIGHT MOTION.

ABS ENGAGES AT LOW SPEEDS, MAKES BRAKE PEDAL VERY DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS AND DIFFICULT TO STOP VEHICLE. (THIS OCCURS REGARDLESS OF TURNING/GOING STRAIGHT, AND HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED AND/OR WHEN IT'S RELEASED, AND SOMETIMES WHEN I'M NOT TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL AT ALL.) THIS OCCURS DAILY, AND AFTER SOME TIME, THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS WILL COME ON IN THE DASHBOARD. ONCE THE WARNING LIGHTS ACTIVATE, THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. SERVICED IN 4/2017 AT CERTIFIED GARAGE, AND WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. ONLINE AUTO FORUM RESEARCH SHOWS MANY EARLY MODEL EQUINOX OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE, GOING ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2011. HTTPS://CHEVROLETFORUM.COM/FORUM/EQUINOX-23/2006-CHEVY-EQUINOX-LT-ABS-TRACTION-CONTROL-LIGHT-PROBLEMS-41758/ THE MAJORITY OF THE COMPLAINTS LIST A PIGTAIL WIRE HARNESS AS THE SOLUTION. CHEVROLET HAS NO RECALLS THAT I'VE FOUND - BUT CLEARLY THERE ARE A NUMBER OF EQUINOX OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES, WITH NO RESPONSE FROM CHEVROLET. I'VE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH THAT THIS HASN'T CAUSED AN ACCIDENT YET... BUT I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE EXAMINED BEFORE SOMETHING DESTRUCTIVE OR TRAGIC OCCURS. I WILL CONTINUE TO ATTEMPT TO HAVE THE ISSUE DIAGNOSED AT CERTIFIED ASE GARAGES.

DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED IN HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY LOOSE ACCELERATION PEDAL FUNCTION. DANGEROUS SLOW DOWN IN HIGHWAY WHILE CARS PASS YOU BY AT HIGH SPEEDS AND YOU JUST CANT GET TO MOVE OUT THE WAY.WITH FAMILY IN VEHICLE

IN ALL DRIVING MODES, HEATER ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR, NOT HOT AIR

THE HEADLIGHTS IN MY VEHICLE SHUT ON BY THEMSELVES WHILE CAR IS PARKED AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME SHUTTING THEM OFF AFTER DRIVING AND ARRIVING TO MY DESTINATION. I ALSO NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM MY STEERING WHEEL.

IT HAS NOT BEEN TWO YEARS AFTER THE HEATING SYSTEM IN MY VEHICLE WAS FIXED, AND NOW I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN. THE HEAT IN MY VEHICLE IS ONLY WORKING WHILE MY VEHICLE IS MOVING. WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK OR WHEN I STOP AT THE LIGHT THE CAR BLOWS OUT COLD AIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE EXITING A PARKING LOT ONTO A MAIN ROAD, THE GEAR SHIFTER MOVED INTO FIRST GEAR AND FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF GEAR. THE CONTACT LET OFF THE THROTTLE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAITED FOR A FEW SECONDS AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

MY HEAT ONLY WORKS AT IDLE SPEED. REPLACED THE BLEND DOOR AND THE HEATERCORE ALL AT ONCE WHILE THE DASH WAS OUT. REPLACED THERMOSTAT AND TOPPED OFF COOLANT AFTER LINES WERE FLUSHED, NO LEAKS FROM THE WATER PUMP. WHAT ARE MY OTHER OPTIONS?

WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WITH 77,000 MILES, I NOTICE A GALLON OF WATER IN SPARE WHEEL WELL. HAD TO RESEAL REAR DOOR WHETHER STRIPE. 5 MONTHS LATER THE ACTUATOR OF THE HEATER FAILED AND BROKE THE BLEND DOOR TO THE HEATER. I DIDN'T HAVE HEAT FOR A YEAR. BRAKE SYSTEM SENSORS FAILED 3 MONTHS AGO $2000 FIXED HUB AND ASSEMBLY AND KNUCKLES. FUEL INJECTION LINE BROKEN AT ONLY 100,000 MILES.

TEMP CONTROL DOOR FAILED CAUSING NO DEFOGGING/DEFROSTING IN CAR. CHEVY IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WHICH COULD CAUSE DRIVER INABILITY TO SEE THRU WINDSHIELD AND HAS RECALLED SOME YEAR MODELS, BUT NOT 2006 MODELS. I REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE FOR $1162.49. THE PART IS NOT EXPENSIVE, REQUIRES MANY HOURS OF TAKING APART DASHBOARD.

HEATER BLOWS COLD AIR IN WINTER

MY GRANDDAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE AS ANOTHER VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND PULLED INTO HER PATH. SHE AND THE OTHER VEHICLE WERE BOTH AT A SPEED OF 25 MPH. THE FRONT CLIP WAS TORN FROM HER CAR AND NO DRIVERS AIRBAG DEPLOYED. SHE DID HAVE HER SEATBELT ON WHICH DID PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY. THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED 30 DEC 2016. THIS HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS.

HEATING BLOWS COLD AIR DUE TO BLEND DOOR MALFUNCTION

HEATER BLOWS COLD AIR IN WINTER IN CHICAGO CAN'T SEE WHILE DRIVING , VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

MY 2006 CHEVY EQUINOX HEATER START BLOWING COLD AIR ON DECEMBER 1, 2016. PER THE CHEVY DEALER THE HEATER BLEND DOOR IS BROKEN IT COST ME OVER $2,300 TO FIX THE HEATER . THERE ARE TOO MANY 2006 CHEVY EQUINOX WITH THE ME PROBLEM. THIS IS S DEFECT AND A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE. GM NEED TO PAY FOR THIS PART AND LABOR DEFECT.

BAD BLEND DOOR HEAT BLOWS COLD AIR

MY HEATER IS BLOWING COLD AIR. THE TEMPERATURE BLEND DOOR BROKE, AND IT WILL COST ME ALMOST $1000 TO FIX IT! THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY IF IT HAD GONE OUT IN -30 DEGREE MINNESOTA WINTER TEMPERATURES.

AIR BLEND DOOR BROKEN. HEATER BLOWS COLD AIR. VEHICLE WAS RUNNING.

WHAT IS HAPPENING: THE HEATER BLEND DOOR IS STUCK BLOWING ONLY COLD AIR. THIS IS AFTER THE ENGINE IS WARM AND WORKING PROPERLY. IN NORTHERN MINNESOTA THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. FROM A QUICK SEARCH THIS IS HAPPENING FAR TOO OFTEN FOR IT TO BE ANYTHING OTHER THAN A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. IT IS A VERY POOR DESIGN WHICH I BELIEVE SHOULD BE RECALLED.

THE HEATING SYSTEM NO LONGER PRODUCES HOT AIR FOR THE HEATER/DEFROSTER. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A BROKEN (DEFECTIVE) CHEAP PLASTIC ARM THAT CONNECTS THE TEMPERATURE BLEND DOOR TO AN ACTUATOR THAT CONTROLS THE AIR BLEND. ESTIMATED REPAIR BILL IS $750-$1000. LIVING IN THE NORTHWEST IT'S CRUCIAL TO HAVE A FUNCTIONING HEATER/DEFROSTER. A WINTER WITHOUT SUCH CAN PROVE TO BE DISASTROUS, EVEN FATAL. WHAT WILL GM DO ABOUT THIS DEFECT?

I BOUGHT A 2006 IN FEB ..IT WAS RUNNING FINE THEN ALL A SUDDEN THE HEATER STARTED BLOWING COLD AIR..A MONTH LATER IT JUST STARTED RUNNING HOT POUR WATER IN COOLANT LEVEL IT CUMES BACK OUT IN A PUDDLE ON DRIVER SIDE. ..TEMP GAUGE HITS RED WHEN IDLE UP...SMOKE OUT TAIL PIPE...COOLANT SMELL AROUND CAR...I NEED MY CAR NOW IM.WALKING!!!!

MY WIFE AND I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY EQUINOX A FEW MONTHS AGO THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT REPEATEDLY STARTED COMING ON CAUSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO PULSATE. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC THEY REPLACED ALL OF THE HUB BEARINGS SEEING THE CODES WE PULLED THOSE THE LOCK RING WAS BAD. DID NO GOOD SCAN THE VEHICLE AGAIN DIFFERENT CODES CAME OUT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT I SEE MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THE EQUINOX THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. I PLAN ON CONTACTING MY ATTORNEY TOMORROW TO SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING HE CAN DO ABOUT IT I'M ALREADY $1,000 AND REPAIR OVER A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED.

SOUNDS LIKE THE BRAKES GRINDING, STARTS UNSAFE STOPPING DISTANCE AND HAPPENS OUT OF BLUE, I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY KEEP TRYING TO PUSH THE BRAKES SO IT CAN STOP. AT TIMES BRAKES WILL ALSO BE HARD AS ROCK NO WARNING AND HAVE NO BRAKES AT ALL, BEEN HAPPENING OFF AND ON. ABS/TC LIGHTS ON, I WAS TOLD I NEEDED NEW HUB BEARING ASSEMBLY, ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS, ALL WAS CHANGED AND STILL NOT FIXED. I KEEP READING ABOUT A PIG TAIL HARNESS BUT DON'T KNOW THE CORRECT PART NUMBER OR ITS LOCATION. STARTED AROUND MARCH/2016 AND ITS ONGOING, ALMOST GOT HIT YESTERDAY BECAUSE THE TRUCK WOULDN'T BRAKE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER CONTROL MODULE AND THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

GRINDING, MOANING, STARTS UNSAFE STOPPING DISTANCE AND HAPPENS OUT OF BLUE, ABS/TC LIGHTS OFF AND ON, SO FAR EVERYTHING I HAVE READ ONLINE IT SEEMS TO BE A WHEELSPEED SENSOR OR HARNESS. AT TIMES BRAKES WILL ALSO BE HARD AS ROCK NO WARNING AND HAVE NO BRAKES AT ALL. BEEN HAPPENING FOR AWHILE OFF AND ON

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHEN THE IGNITION WAS TURNED TO THE ON POSITION, THE IGNITION FAILED TO TURN WITHOUT WARNING.SOMETIMES, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO PLACE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION OR REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. ALSO, THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INCREASED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, THE ENGINE FAN RAN FOR AN HOUR AFTERWARD, WHICH CAUSED THE BATTERY TO FAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT MADE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED PER AN UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER'S RECALL RELATED TO THE IGNITION SWITCH; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION SLEEVE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE KEY IS HANGING UP IN THE IGNITION AFTER TURNING VEHICLE OFF. IT IS OFTEN DIFFICULT TO PUT THE KEY BACK IN THE IGNITION TO THEN START IT AGAIN. THE VEHICLE NOW STALLS WHILE RUNNING WITHOUT NOTICE. WHEN IT DOES, ALL POWER CUTS OFF (POWER BRAKES, TRACTION CONTROL, LIGHTS RADIO, BREAKS - ANYTHING ELECTRIC SHUTS OFF. HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER AND RESTART IT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. HAPPENS ON THE STREET AS WELL AS FREEWAY. I WONDER WHETHER THIS IS COVERED BY A RECALL OR SOMETHING. PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE VERY SAFE.

VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED ONCE EVERY THREE DAYS UP TO 6 TIMES IN 20 MINUTES. IT HAS OCCURRED ON THE FREEWAY AND CITY STREETS. HAD PCM REPROGRAMMED, NO LUCK. I HAVE BEEN TESTING DIFFERENT FIXES. WHILE DOING SO I NOTICED I AM ABLE TO PULL THE KEY OUT AT ANY IGNITION POSITION.

HVAC BLOWER MOTOR INOPERABLE WHILE MOVING ON HIGHWAY. BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR BURNED BECAUSE BLOWER MOTOR DRAWING TOO MANY AMPS.

CAR STARTED OVER HEATING DUE TO COOLING SYSTEM VALUE, BLOWN HEAD GASKET AFTER 93000 MILES RAN HOT WHILE IDLE.

IGNITION. WHEN KEY IS INSERTED IN IGNITION IT IS VERY DIFFICULT...TAKES A NUMEROUS AMOUNT OF TRIES TO GET IT TO TURN ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD. THE BRAKES SEIZED AND THE ABS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE WAS PERSISTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE CONTACT REPAIRED THE BRAKES, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 133,785.

MY CHEVY EQUINOX HAS BEEN IN TWO DIFFERENT SHOPS INCLUDING CHEVROLET NUMEROUS TIMES. I HAVE SPENT PLENTY OF MONEY. BUT, STILL HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ABS & TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS PERIODICALLY COMING ON AND WITH THE UNCERTAINTY THAT MY BRAKES ARE GOING TO WORK PROPERLY EVERY TIME I ATTEMPT TO DRIVE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WITH THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS EXACT PROBLEM WHY IS THERE NO RECALL? IT IS VERY UNSAFE. CHEVY HAS BEEN GUESSING AND JUST CHANGING DIFFERENT PARTS THAT DIDN'T NEED CHANGED. THEY EVEN TALKED TO CORPORATE OFFICE AND SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS FOR SURE. PLEASE TELL ME HOW THAT IS POSSIBLE? WHEN IT APPARENTLY ISN'T A ISOLATED INCIDENT. THEY ACTED LIKE THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS SITE IS EVIDENCE ITS A PROBLEM! I WAS TOLD BY PERSON/PERSONS AT BOTH SHOPS IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. ARE THEY DRIVING THE SAME CAR I'M DRIVING? BECAUSE IT IS DEFINITELY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. BRAKES LOCK UP RANDOMLY OR GRIND AS CAR CONTINUES TO MOVE FORWARD SEVERAL FEET EVEN ONCE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. IT MATCHES DESCRIPTION OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ALONG WITH THE PULSATION. I HAVE PROBABLY TEN DIFFERENT INVOICES BUT IT WON'T LET ME LOAD ALL OF THEM AND THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS.

MY CARS ENGINE LIGHT AND LOW ENGINE POWER LIGHT CAME ON WHILE CROSSING AN INTERSECTION REDUCING MY SPEED AND NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT! WHEN IT RAINS, SNOWS OR GOES THROUGH A CAR WASH THIS HAPPENS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND NO MECHANIC HAS BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

WE HAVE NOTICED THE ABS AND TC LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY LIGHT UP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL UPON BRAKING/TURNING TO THE LEFT, AS WELL AS, WHEN BRAKING/HITTING A BUMP OR ROUGH TERRAIN. WE HAVE TAKEN TO A MECHANIC TO BE TOLD THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FIX ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS; THAT THIS IS A DEALERSHIP ISSUE. THIS IS A CAUSE FOR CONCERN DUE TO THE FACT OUR 75 YEAR OLD MOTHER DOESN'T DRIVE IT ALL THE TIME; HOWEVER, WHEN SHE DOES DRIVE, WE ARE WORRIED FOR HER SAFETY AND OUR CHILDREN'S SAFETY WHEN THEY'RE WITH HER. I AM SHOCKED GM HAS NOT RECALLED THIS.

ABS ACTIVATION AT LOW SPEEDS ON DRY PAVEMENT. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND CHANGES THE VEHICLE BREAKING DISTANCE. IT IS ALSO UNKNOWN HOW MUCH IT WILL CHANGE THE DISTANCE. SO IT CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE A LOW SPEED IMPACT ACCIDENT. THIS IS DUE TO NOT KNOWING WHERE TO BREAK FOR PROPER STOPPING DISTANCE. ENGINE PROBLEM WHEN STARTING VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE TURNS OVER THEN STALLS. ONLY WAY I HAVE FOUND TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING IS TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL WHILE TURNING IT OVER. WIPER ISSUE. MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER DOESN'T WORK. I LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE HEAVY SNOW FALL HAPPENS. THIS IS A DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. IF MY VEHICLE IS ON THE ROAD DURING A BLIZZARD OR HEAVY SNOW VISIBILITY IS LOST ON HALF MY WINDSHIELD.

MY HEATER IS ONLY BLOWING OUT A LITTLE BETTER THAN COOL AIR I WOULD SAY IT IS RIGHT BELOW WARM AND I HAVE A 14 MONTH OLD CHILD THE FIX IS 750.00 DOLLARS AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE MAYBE A RECALL IS WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN ??

THE BRAKE PEDAL IS HARD AT TIMES AND HAVE GRINDING NOISE FROM BRAKE PEDAL AND IT PUSHES BACK AND IT HAS AND AND TRAC CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON

JANUARY 2015 GM SENT A SPECIAL COVERAGE NOTICE REGARDING SEAT HEATERS THAT OVERHEAT AND FAIL. I OBJECT TO THE DIAGNOSIS FEE CHARGED IF THE HEATER ELEMENT IS NOT CAUSING THE FAILURE. IF IT IS ANOTHER PART SUCH AS A HEATER MODULE I WILL BE CHARGED $110.00 REFUNDED IF I REPLACE THE MODULE AT EXTRA COST. I FEEL THIS IS UNFAIR SINCE I DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURE OF MY DRIVER'S SEAT HEATER AND GM SHOULD BEAT THE DIAGNOSIS FEE. CAN YOU HELP THIS CUSTOMER.

MY 2006 CHEVY EQINOX HAS PROBLEM WITH STARTING SINCE IT WAS NEW ,I TOOK IT IN GM SERVICE WHEN IT WAS 1 YEAR OLD AND TOLD THEM THE CAR STARTS HARD SOMETIME SHUTS OFF COUPLE TIMES BEFORE IT TURNS OVER AND GM SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT EVERYTHING IS OK BUT NOW IT IS HARDER AND HARDER TO START IT UP I ALSO KNOW COUPLE OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVING SAME PROBLEM AND WHEN I GOOGLE THE PROBLEM I FOUND THERE IS THOUSANDS SAME ISSUES WITH PROBLEMS LIKE MY WITH SAME CAR, PLEASE HELP. THANKS.

I PURCHASED MY 2006 CHEVY EQUINOX NEW. AT 53K MILES MY IGNITION SWITCH FAILED. I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE MY KEY FROM MY RUNNING CAR. THERE WAS NO RECALL AND I HAD TO PAY THE DEALER LAST YEAR IN 2015. NOW IT IS HARD TO START AND AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR I HAVE TO OPEN ANOTHER DOOR BESIDES THE DRIVER DOOR TO DISABLE POWER TO THE DASH INSTRUMENTS, INTERIOR LIGHTING AND RADIO.
