2006 Chevrolet Equinox

1. MY ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COME ON ALMOST EVERYTIME I DRIVE THE CAR. MOST OF THE TIME THEY COME ON FOR NO REASON, JUST DRIVING ON SMOOTH/GOOD ROAD CONDITIONS THEY COME ON OR PULLING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY. 2. DOESN'T MATTER IF THE ABS LIGHT IS ON OR OFF, I'VE HAD TO SMASH DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL NUMEROUS TIMES SO I DON'T HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE THE BREAKS FEEL LIKE THEY AREN'T GRABBING. LUCKILY MY DAUGHTER WASN'T IN THE CAR ANY OF THE TIMES IT'S HAPPENED. I HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT BY A TECHNICIAN AT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND HE FOUND NO ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES. 3. THE FRONT END OF THIS VEHICLE IS HORRIBLE. I'VE REPLACED THE FRONT HUBS RECENTLY, AND THAT DID NO GOOD WITH EITHER OF THESE ISSUES. 3. I WAS GOING THROUGH A DRIVE THRU, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE E-BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, LOUD SOUND CAME OUT OF SPEAKERS WHEN I TURNED THE WHEEL, AND A NUMBER OF LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON. LUCKILY GOT OUT OF THE DRIVE THRU, AND SHUT THE CAR OFF, AND IT WOULDN'T TURN BACK ON. IT JUMPED STARTED BUT WE FIGURED OUT THAT THE WIRE FROM THE STARTED TO THE ALTERNATOR WAS LOOSE AND CAUSING IT TO NOT CHARGE THE BATTERY. WE TIGHTENED IT DOWN AND IT FIXED THAT PROBLEM. 4. I GOT INTO MY CAR, STARTED IT UP, AND WENT TO REVERSE AND THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. I PULLED BACK INTO THE SPOT AND TURNED OFF THE CAR & THEN BACK ON & IT CAME BACK. MY HUSBAND WAS JUST DRIVING THE CAR BEFORE ME AND HE HAD NO ISSUES. I HOPE THERE IS SOMETHING RECALLED ON THIS CAR. I'VE SEEN SO MANY PEOPLE WITH THESE SAME TYPE OF COMPLAINTS. IT'S DANGEROUS!!!

ANY TIME THERE IS RAIN OR GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH MY CAR HAS A LEAK OF WATER THAT COLLECTS IN MY FLOORBOARD. I HAVE READ A MILLION REVIEWS ONLINE AT CHEVROLETFORUM.COM AND NUMEROUS YOUTUBE VIDEOS DOCUMENTING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE MAKE AND MODEL. IF GM PLANS ON CHARGING FOR AN UPGRADE LIKE A SUNROOF THEN IT SHOULD PROPERLY WORK. THE REASON FOR CONCERN ON THIS, THE WATER LEAKS THROUGH THE DASH AND EVEN SOMETIMES COLLECTS IN THE LIGHT FIXTURES OF THE ROOF. WITH STANDING WATER ON THE FLOOR BOARDS I HAVE A HUGE CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY FROM BEING ELECTROCUTED OR BEING E POSED TO ANY TYPE OF MOLD CAUSED FROM THE WET CARPET. THERE ARE APPARENTLY ISSUES WITH SEVERAL SEALS WHEN IT COMES TO THIS MODEL AND I FEEL IT HAS BEEN OVERLY DOCUMENTED THAT IS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. NOT TO MENTION OF DRIVING IN RAIN WHICH IS SOMETIMES INEVITABLE, YOU WILL BE DRIVING IN YOUR OWN MONSOON. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THE ARE REFUSING TO STATE THAT THEIR IS ANY SAFETY CONCERN. HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT DRIVING MY VECHICLE, I AM. I HAVE EVEN PERSONALLY EMAILED CHEVROLET ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY ARE STATING SINCE THERE IS NO ACTIVE RECALL OPENED THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A DESIGN, HARDWARE MALFUNCTION. NOT SOMETHING CAUSE BY WEAR AND TEAR, LIKE TIRES OR BRAKES. THIS LEAK HAS ALSO BEEN KNOW TO START CAUSING ELECTRICAL ISSUES FROM POWER LINES BEING SATURATED IN STANDING WATER. MY CAR STARTS MAKING A CLICKING NOISE AND THE POWER WILL FLUCTUATE BECAUSE OF WATER LEAKING INSIDE CABIN AND UNDERNEATH DASH WHERE POWER CABLES ARE EXPOSED. THIS HAS CAUSED MY CAR TO STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY PREVIOUSLY.

BROUGHT VEHICLE IN DUE TO NO HEAT - THEY INFORMED ME THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THE 200 EQUINOX FOR THE HEATER CORE - AT THIS POINT I AM OUTSIDE THE 10 YR AND THE 120000 MILE WARRANTIES FOR THE RECALL. I BELIEVE IF THERE IS A RECALL IT SHOULD BE HONORED AT ANY TIME THE SITUATION ARISES IF NO FORMER KNOWLEDGE IS KNOWN OF THE SITUATION.

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!!!!
