2005 Chevrolet Equinox

EGR TUBE CRACKED AND LEAKS EXHAUST INTO CAR. DEALER REFUSES TO FIX AND STATED INSTEAD OF THE PART TO FIX THIS OURSELVES, (LESS THAN $100) WE WOULD NEED THE 'UPDATED' KIT WHICH WAS NEARLY $400 PLUS THE LABOR TO INSTALL PLUS AND ADDITIONAL FEE TO 'CALIBRATE' THE NEW PART. LOOKING AT OVER $750+ TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. NICE WAY TO SCAM MONEY FOR YOUR DEALERS! CHEVY NEEDS TO RECALL THIS! *KB

I PURCHASED MY CHEVY EQUINOX 2005 (NEW) FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THE TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 55,000 MILES, THE MECHANIC TOLD ME I COULD NOT DRIVE IT ......BECAUSE IT WOULD LOCK UP- THE ENGINE.........IT'S COSTING ME OVER A $1000.00 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED........(CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO LET THEM KNOW OF THIS PROBLEM....REFUSED TO LISTEN........ I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLES AND COSTING CONSUMERS LOTS OF MONEY THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PUT OUT.....PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM.......MAKE THE CONSUMERS HAPPY CHECK OUT THIS WEBSITE FOR MORE COMPLAINTS ON THE 2005 CHEVY EQUINOX WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2005/CHEVROLET/EQUINOX/COOLING+SYSTEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE HAD SMOKE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP WORKING. THE HAD BEEN SCHEDULED TO BE INSPECTED. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE HAS HAD TO HAVE THE DRIVE SHAFT REPLACED TWICE BECAUSE THE BEARINGS FAILED. THE CONTACT FEELS THESE ISSUES ARE MANUFACTURER DEFECTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

MY 2005 EQUINOX IS LEAKING WATER INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. I GET A LOT OF WATER COLLECTED IN THE SPARE TIRE AREA AND A LOT OF WATER IN THE REAR FLOORBOARDS. SINCE MY DRIVEWAY IS ON AN INCLINE IT IS DIFFICULT TO TELL WHERE THE LEAK IS COMING IN AT. I ALSO HAVE NOTICED THE WATER DRIPS OUT OF THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS WHEN I BRAKE. I HAVE BEEN TO TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND THEY BOTH HAVE RULED OUT A SUNROOF DRAINAGE ISSUE SINCE THE AREA IS CLEAR. I HAVE SEEN QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING, AND I AM NOT SURE WHAT STEPS TO TAKE AT THIS POINT SINCE IT IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE AND NOT WEAR AND TEAR. WITH NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL SINCE THE ISSUE IS NOT AN UNCOMMON OCCURRENCE? *TR
