2005 Chevrolet Equinox

SEAT BELT LIGHT IS ON WHEN DRIVER IS BUCKLED, ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, REPLACED BRAKES AND FRONT DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL BEARING, BEARING WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED 3/2014. HAVE HAD TO REPLACE WHEEL BEARINGS AND STRUTS IN THE FRONT ABOUT EVERY 6 MONTHS. JUST REPLACED FRONT PASSENGER SIDE IN 3/2015. TODAY SAME NOISE COMING FROM FRONT END, NEED FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BEARING REPLACED AFTER 2 MONTHS.

FEBRUARY OF 2014 I SPENT 1011.48 TO REPLACE A GASKET BETWEEN THE ENGINE BLOCK AND THE RADIATOR, WHICH I WAS TOLD WAS MADE OF PLASTIC. THIS WAS SUPPOSE TO SOLVE THE OVERHEATING OF MY ENGINE, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM DID NOT STOP AND I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE HEATER CORE NOW NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WHICH WILL COST ME ANOTHER $800-$900. IN ALL THE COMPLAINTS WRITTEN BY OTHER OWNERS THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE EQUINOX. I HAVE NO HEAT IN THE VEHICLE, THE FRONT DEFROST ONLY FOGS THE WINDSHIELD AND IT CONSISTENTLY OVERHEATS WHICH IN TURN ACTIVATES THE FAN WHICH I SUSPECT WILL STOP WORK SOON DUE TO OVERWORKING. THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN AND IS A DANGER IN THE WINTER MONTHS. I HONESTLY LOVE THIS TRUCK, BUT IF THIS A COMMON PROBLEM OR RECALL ISSUE IT NEED TO BE REMEDIED NOW. *TR

I HAD TO HAVE MY BATTERY REPLACED TODAY. MY BATTERY HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT IS NOT COMPLETELY TURNED OFF WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK. FOR A YEAR OR SO I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD AND MY CARS KEY HAS BEEN REMOVABLE FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. I HAVE ASKED ABOUT THE IGNITION SWITCH BEFORE TO MY DEALERSHIP OVER THE YEARS WITH NO RESOLVE. SINCE THE RECALL OF OTHER GM MODELS DURING THE SAME YEAR MY CAR WAS MADE RECENTLY I HAVE READ OVER THESE ISSUES AND MY EQUINOX IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I DO NOT HAVE TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK FOR THE KEY TO BE TAKEN OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. NOW MY BATTERY IS BEING COMPROMISED DUE TO IT NOT COMPLETELY BEING ABLE TO SHUT OFF. *TR

WE HAD SEVERAL INCHES OF RAIN, I WENT TO GET IN MY CAR FROM WORK TO GO HOME AND THE CAR WAS AN INCH DEEP IN THE FLOOR BOARDS. I COULD NOT TELL WHERE THIS WATER ACTUALLY CAME FROM. I WAS VERY UPSET, THIS WAS AFTER 5:00 PM ON A FRIDAY SO NEEDLESS TO SAY I DID NOT CALL INSURANCE COMPANY UNTIL THE FOLLOWING WEEK. I HAD NOT LEFT ANY WINDOWS DOWN BECAUSE IT HAD RAINED ALL WEEK. I SPOKE WITH A CHEVROLET DEALER NOT THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW FROM, THEY ARE NO LONGER IN BUSINESS. HE INFORMED ME THAT WE NEEDED TO GUT THE CAR AND DRY IT OUT FIRST IN ORDER TO DETERMINE WHERE THE WATER WAS LEAKING IN AT. I SPOKE WITH MY INS. AGENT AND ASKED WOULD THIS BE COVERED AND SHE DID NOT KNOW. SHE CALLED HER STATE FARM OFFICE AND RETURNED A CALL BACK TO ME. SHE STATED THAT AN ADJUSTER IN THE OFFICE TOLD HER THAT MY INSURANCE WOULD PAY FOR THE DRYING OUT OF MY CAR, BUT WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE MECHANICAL ISSUE. I WAS GIVEN A CLAIM NO. I CALLED THE ADJUSTER AND SHE SET UP A RENTAL CAR AND TOLD ME THAT THE CHECK WOULD BE PAYABLE TO ME AND I WOULD PAY THE DEALERSHIP. THIS WAS ON A WEDNESDAY, ON FRIDAY I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE AGENT WHO STATED TO ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT PAY ANYTHING BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE WAS KNOWN FOR MULTIPLE LEAKS. I WAS TOLD ONE THING THEN ANOTHER. I WAS VERY FRUSTRATED AND CALLED GM TO COMPLAIN TO THEM THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL IF THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. THEY WERE GOING TO CALL ME BACK AND NEVER ANOTHER WORD FROM THEM. I EXPLAINED TO INS. AND TO GM, AND ALSO TO THE INSURANCE COMMISSION THAT THIS WAS A HAZARD ON THE ROAD DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CAR WAS FOGGING UP FROM INSIDE AND I HAD ICE ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR DUE TO COLD WEATHER.I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU CAN HELP ME WITH THIS ONGOING PROBLEM. I AM SENDING ALL DOCUMENTATION REGARDING THIS ISSUE. *TR ## VIN PASSED ##

SPEEDOMETER FAILED TO GIVE AN ACCURATE READING. RADIO FADED IN AND OUT. AFTER AROUND A MINUTE OF THIS OCCURRING THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND SLOWED DOWN AND DID NOT REGAIN POWER EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL PRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS SAFELY BROUGHT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED OFF AND ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN. AFTER ABOUT 1 MILE OR LESS THE VEHICLE AGAIN DID THE SAME THING AND WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC.
