2008 Chevrolet Equinox complaints

MY 74 YEAR OLD BROTHER BOUGHT HIS 2008 EQUINOX NEW IT HAS LESS THAN 120,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS THE BIGGEST HEAP OF CRAP CHEVROLET INVENTED!!!! 5. POWER STEERING WENT OUT COSTING $2500.00 TO FIX JAN 2015 6. TRANSMISSION STARTS JERKING WHEN HITTING 45 MPH DEALERSHIP INFORMED US OF THE TRANSMISSION WHEN WE TOOK IN FOR A RECALL ON A DEFECTIVE GAS MODUAL THAT THEY NEVER REPLACED SAYING THE PART WAS OK. THEY DROVE IT AND SAID THAT ITS THE TRANSMISSION AND ASKED $500.00 TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC. STARTED FEB 2016 7. THE STABLE LINK LIGHT PERIODICALLY COMES ON SAYING TO SERVICE THE STABLE TRAC THEN GOES OFF STARTED MARCH OF 2016 8. THE TOP OF THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE BACK HATCH IS GONE WHERE IT FELL OFF AT SOME POINT HAS MANY OTHER THINGS WRONG. TURN SIGNAL GEARS TO TURN OFF SIGNALS FOR RIGHT AND LEFT SIGNAL DO NOT WORK. THE WASHER FLUID MOTOR DOES NOT WORK. DRIVERS DOOR POWER WINDOW MOTOR BROKE FROM WINDOW.DRIVERS DOOR HAS TO BE MANUALLY LOCKED AND UNLOCKED. THIS VEHICLE IS A CLEAN AND IN EXCELLENT SHAPE IT WAS BOUGHT NEW AND IS OWNED BY AN ELDERLY MAN. IT HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED HAS LESS THAT 120,000 MILES ON IT

AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE 102,000 MILES. WON'T GO OFF TOOK IT IN FOR DIAGNOSIS AND WAS TOLD NEED A NEW PPS MODULE. IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. SO DIDN'T GET IT FIX WOULD HAVE COST $900. SEEN ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL WITH SAME PROBLEM. AND THAT 2007 WERE RECALLED BUT NOT 2008. AND CONSIDERING THE RECALL WAS MADE IN 2008 DON'T YOU THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED 2008 MODELS AS WELL?? HOPING THEY WILL STILL ISSUE A RECALL SOON SO WE CAN GET IT FIXED!!! TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A PROIRITY AND FIXED!!!

I HAD TO HAVE MY SENORS REPLACED IN MINE AND WONDER WHY MINE WAS NEVER RECALLED. COST ME $1,000. I SEE HERE THE SAME ISSUED AND IT HAS A RECALL.

MY VEHICLE HAS 84,000 MILES ON IT. ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR CODE P0008. AFTER FURTHER REVIEW THE DEALER DISCOVERED I HAD A STRETCHED TIMING CHAIN THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT THE TUNE OF $3,000. I HAVE CHANGED MY OIL AS STATED IN THE MANUAL AND CHECK THE OIL LEVELS PERIODICALLY. THE SERVICE SCHEDULE IN THE MANUAL INDICATES THAT THE BELTS NEED TO BE CHECKED FOR WEAR AT 150,000. THE TIMING CHAIN SHOULD SURELY LAST LONGER THAN THE BELTS. CHEVY ISSUED A CUSTOMER SERVICE BULLETIN WITH REGARD TO PREMATURE TIMING CHAIN WEAR ON ALL 2008 EQUINOX'S EXCEPT THE SPORT (WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE). AFTER DOING SOME ONLINE DIGGING I HAVE DISCOVERED MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE 2008 SPORT THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY STATED SINCE MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO.

LEAKING GAS FROM THE TANK UNDER REAR DOOR PASSENGER SIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM MODULE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

I PURCHASED MY EQUINOX BRAND NEW IN JULY OF 2008 AND IT CURRENTLY HAS 109,000 MILES ON IT. I JUST STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES SO I TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP. THE VEHICLE IS HAVING A HARD TIME SHIFTING INTO 3RD SHIFT. THE TRANSMISSION SHOP STATED THAT I NEEDED A NEW WAVE PLATE. CHEVROLET HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON MY VEHICLE FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE AND I FALL WITHIN THE DATE AND MILEAGE LIMITS, BUT GM IS CLAIMING THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT QUALIFY. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON THAT MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE EXCLUDED FROM THIS WARRANTY.

2008 EQUINOX - MY KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND I CAN'T TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. THE VEHICLE ISN'T REGISTERING THAT IT'S IN PARK. IT'S SOME ISSUE WITH THE SHIFTER. THE KEY WAS STICKING FOR ABOUT A MONTH BUT WOULD ALWAYS TURN OFF UNTIL NOW. NUMEROUS EQUINOX OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE BUT CHEVY HASN'T FIXED THE PROBLEM OR ISSUED A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY BECAME STUCK AND WAS UNABLE TO BE EJECTED FROM THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

I BOUGHT MY EQUINOX IN OCTOBER OF 2015. AFTER HAVING IT JUST 6 MONTHS AND DRIVING IT APPROX. 3,000 MILES THE HEAD GASKET BLEW. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH ONLY 70,000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL AUTO BODY SHOP, AND THEY TOLD ME I WOULD NEED A WHOLE NEW ENGINE (THEY SUSPECTED STOP LEAK WAS PUT IN TO MASK THE PROBLEM BEFORE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE). THEY ARE QUOTING $3,400 FOR A REFURBISHED ENGINE (THAT COULD RUN INTO THE SAME ISSUE) OR $5,900 FOR A NEW ENGINE. GM HAS BEEN NO HELP AT PROVIDING ANY TYPE OF ASSISTANCE. AS I'VE DONE MORE RESEARCH, I SEE COUNTLESS OTHER CASES OF THIS HAPPENING WITH LOW MILES. WE HAVE ALWAYS PURCHASED GM VEHICLES, AS MY HUSBAND'S STEPDAD AND UNCLE WERE BOTH GM EMPLOYEES. MY FAITH HAS NOW BEEN SHAKEN IN THE COMPANY, AND I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING ANOTHER GM VEHICLE ANYTIME SOON.

ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO MY KEY STARTED STICKING IN THE CYLINDER AND I WAS UNABLE TO TAKE THE KEY OUT. IT WOULD TAKE 2-5 MINUTES BEFORE IT WILL RELEASE THE KEY. IT HAS GOTTEN MORE FREQUENT SO I HAD SOMEONE CHECK IT OUT. HE FOUND A RECALL REFERENCE #09-02-35-005C WHICH STATES THAT CHEVROLET EQUINOX FROM 2007-2009 BUILT PRIOR TO 7/2008 WILL NEED TO HAVE A NEW CYLINDER IGNITION LOCK PART #20869121 INSTALLED FOR IGNITION KEY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE, BINDS OR STICKS. MY CAR WAS BUILT IN 2007 YET THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY VIN# WHICH ACCORDING TO YOUR RECALL NOTICE IS NOT TRUE. PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP ABOUT THIS MATTER. [XXX] OR EMAIL ME @ [XXX]. THANK YOU. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. FOR YEARS THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY DISPLAYED, OR GOES OFF AND ON DEPENDING ON WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS A PASSENGER, AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN. OCCUPANTS HAVE NO SECURITY OF KNOWING WHETHER OR NOT THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT.

I HAVE A LIGHT ON SAYING SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY AIRBAG .ALSO A TAPPING IN MY ENGINE

SERVICE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT ON FOR LAST YEAR ALL THE TIME

THE SPEEDOMETER TO MY VEHICLE IS NOT WORKING. REGARDLESS IF THE CAR IS ON OR OFF, THE NEEDLE IS ALWAYS STUCK ON 120 MPH. I HAVE ALSO STARTED TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BACK DOORS IN WHICH THE LOCKS ARE NOT WORKING WITH THE REMOTE. IF I TRY TO UNLOCK, THE BACK DOORS REMAIN LOCKED. WHEN I DO USE THE REMOTE TO LOCK THE VEHICLE, THE BACK DOORS WILL UNLOCK. I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE HEADLIGHTS. THE SEALS MUST NOT BE THAT GREAT BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF MOISTURE IN THEM TO WHERE NOW I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THEM. MY BACK LIGHTS CONSTANTLY GO OUT AS WELL AND AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR, I HAVE TO REPLACE THE BULBS.

PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. AIRBAG LIGHT GOES OFF AND ON AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN. CHEVROLET, ALTHOUGH THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE REPORT THIS REFUSES TO FIX. COST TO FIX AT DEALER IS AROUND $1000.00. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE PART THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. CHEVROLET SHOULD FIX THIS

DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT OPERATE WITH REMOTE AND WILL NOT UNLOCK WITH REMOTE. WHEN VEHICLE IS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK, AND WHEN VEHICLE PLACED IN PARK DOORS WILL NOT UNLOCK.

THE STABILLITRAK LIGHT AND WARNING SYSTEM SUDDENLY CAME ON MY CAR AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. I LOST POWER STEERING IMMEDIATELY. THE EQUINOX HAS 67, 363 MILES ON IT. I HAD THE ENTIRE CAR SERVICED AND THE SYSTEMS PUT ON A MONITOR IN DECEMBER WITH NO PROBLEMS APPEARING. LUCKILY , I SLOWED DOWN AND TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC THAT TOLD ME THE PROBLEM.

BOTH HEADLIGHTS CONTAIN MOISTURE DUE TO FAULTY SEALS. BOTH HEADLIGHTS NEED REPLACING ON A MINIMUM OF TWICE A YEAR. ADDITIONALLY, BREAK AND/OR TAIL LIGHTS SEEM TO FAIL AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR AS WELL.

PASSENGER AIR BAG CONSTANTLY COMING ON SAYING IT IS NOT WORKING. ALL OTHERS RECALLED BY 2008. NOW SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND SERVICE STABILITRAK SENSOR ON. I'VE READ ABOUT BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ONLINE HERE SO WHY NO RECALLS WHEN IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S REACURRING FOR OTHERS.

BAD WIRING HARNESS.

THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER AND PARK AT LOW SPEEDS. I'VE SEVERAL FORUMS WITH THIS PROBLEM OCCURRING A LOT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE POWER STEERING RECALLS. IT'S NEARLY $1,000 TO HAVE THIS PART REPLACED!

TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON, ALWAYS . AIR BAG IS OFF ALWAYS. THIS CAR IS ONE PIECE OF TRASH.

2008 CHEVY EQUINOX PASSENGER PRESENCE SENSOR SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE. IT WAS RECALLED ON THE 2007'S BUT NOT THE 2008'S EVEN THOUGH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE PERSISTS. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT GM WILL NOT RECALL IT. THIS IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE AS THE AIRBAG WILL NEVER DEPLOY AS THE SENSOR AND/OR PRESSURE MAT IS DEFECTIVE. THE "SERVICE AIRBAG" LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. THIS IS ABOUT A $1,000 CHARGE AT A DEALER THAT IS DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL DEFECT. THEY ADMITTED ON THE 2007'S AND SHOULD BE FORCED TO FIX THE 2008'S ALSO. LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR 40,000 MILES WAITING FOR THE RECALL.

VEHICLE HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT AND IT HAS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON WITH THE DTC P0008. THIS CODE IS IN REFERENCE TO THE TIMING CHAINS NEEDING REPLACED. THERE ARE RECALLS ON OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME ENGINE AND THE EXACT SAME CODE.

SERVICE AIR BAG, SOMETIMES PASSENGER CAME ON, SOMETIMES DIDN'T, NOW FAILED INSPECTION BECAUSE OF IT. AUTO DOOR LOCKS SOMETIMES WORK, SOMETIMES DO NOT

THE STEERING KIND OF LOCKS WHILE IN MOTION AND YOU HAVE TO FORCE IT SOMETIMES TO TURN. ONCE I ADJUST THE COLUMN IT WILL SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THEN ONCE I START THE CAR AGAIN IT WILL BE FINE FOR A WHILE AND I HAVE TO KEEP DOING IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. BUT THE COMPUTER READS IT'S FINE AND THE MACHANIC CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT

AIRBAG LIGHTS COMING ON AND OFF PASSENGER AIR BAG WORKS SOMETIMES ON AND OFF ELECTRICAL WITH THE LIGHTS BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR BAGS A LOT AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

I HAVE ONLY 73000 MILES ON 2008 EQUINOX AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IN INDICATING THE TIMING CHAIN HAD TO BE CHANGED. THERE IS A SPECIAL COVERAGE BULLETIN #11340 THAT COVERS THE 3.6L V6 ENGINES IN AUTOS BETWEEN 2007-2009 BUT GM IS TELLING ME THAT MY 3.6L LY7 ENGINE IS NOT COVERED I HAVE THE SPORT MODEL.

WHITE PAINT BEGAN PEELING OFF BACK RIGHT CORNER OF VEHICLE OVERNIGHT. WHEN PARKED, PAINT WAS FINE- NEXT MORNING IT WAS COMPLETELY PEELED. NO VANDALISM OCCURRED. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH- THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2008 MODEL.

LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR DOESN'T GO ON OR GOES ON AND THEN TURNS OFF WHILE IN CAR DRIVING OR STATIONARY. MOVING AROUND ON SEAT MAKES IT SWITCH BACK AND FORTH. LOOKS LIKE THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE FROM THE 2007 RECALL, BUT NOT EXTENDED TO 2008. HAVEN'T TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP YET, BUT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. WAS SOLD TO ME LAST MONTH FROM A USED CAR DEALER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK WHEN INSIDE THE CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CAR IN ORDER TO GET OUT. WINDOW MUST BE ROLLED DOWN IN ORDER TO REACH OUTSIDE AND OPEN THE DOOR . VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND I WAS TRYING TO OPEN THE DOOR WITH THE HANDLE AND SOMETHING CAME LOOSE AND DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR WITH THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK.

I HAVE PURCHASED A CHEVY EQUINOX 2008 AND THE MESSAGE CENTER FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS DISPLAYED SERVICE AIR BAG. THERE SEEMS TO BE A ELECTRICAL ISSUE I CAN HEAR STATIC OR SOMETHING COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR EVERY TIME I OPEN AND CLOSE IT. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I ONLY HAVE A 30 DAY WARRANTY. I CHECKED THIS CAR ON AUTO CHECK AND THE MILEAGE WAS EVEN WRONG, WHEN INSPECTED LAST THE MILES WERE 118,000 WHEN I GOT IT IT HAD 115,769 DID THEY ROLL IT BACK. WHAT SITES ARE ACCURATE? I CHECKED AUTOCHECK VIN PRO THE PAST COUPLE YEARS THEY HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING SAME ISSUES AIR BAG SENSOR ETC CHEVY SUCKS!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE BATTERY; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.

AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. THE SYSTEM WILL NOT ARM DUE TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR, THE SYSTEM WILL SOMETIMES WORK IF A PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT OR MAY SUDDENLY STOP WORKING WHEN THE PASSENGER MOVES IN THE SEAT. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE PREVIOUS MODEL YEAR AND IT WAS RECALLED, WHY NOT THE 2008 MODEL? VERY POOR RELIABILITY OF A SAFETY SYSTEM.

TWICE NOW, MY 2008 CHEVY EQUINOX HAS CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AFTER I STOP PUSHING THE GAS. BOTH TIMES, I HAVE BEEN MERGING WITH HIGHWAY TRAFFIC, SO I AM PUSHING THE GAS PRETTY HARD TO GET UP TO THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC. THIS LAST TIME, I SPENT ABOUT FIVE SECONDS TRYING TO BRAKE, FEELING THE ACCELERATOR STILL PUSHING THE CAR FORWARD. I DIDN'T WANT TO DESTROY MY BRAKES, ESPECIALLY SINCE BY THEN I WAS GOING DOWNHILL, SO I TRIED A QUICK TAP OF THE ACCELERATOR AND THAT LET IT UP TO WHERE I HAD CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AGAIN. THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE WAY HOLDING THE PEDAL DOWN, (NOT THE FLOOR MAT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT) SO MY ASSUMPTION IS THERE IS SOME SORT OF SPEED CONTROLLING SOFTWARE FOR THE CAR THAT IS MALFUNCTIONING.

MY CAR WOULDN'T START. SO I BROUGHT A NEW BATTERY THEN MY CAR STARTED AND THEN I NOTICED STABILITRAK LIGHT WAS ON. I TRY TO DRIVE CAR BUT MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN AND COULDN'T DRIVE THE CAR.
