2006 Chevrolet Equinox

THE HEATER IS BLOWING OUT COLD AIR, IT'S IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE TO DRIVE TO WORK WITH A BLANKET ON MY LAP, HEAVY JACKET AND GLOVES. THE BLANKET ON THE LAP IS NOT THE SMARTEST CHOICE BUT I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY SOMEWHERE BETWEEN $800 - $1000 TO GET THIS FIXED. I ALSO HAVE TO HAVE MY CHILDREN BRING BLANKETS SO THEY STAY WARM. WE LIVE IN A SOUTHERN STATE BUT WE STILL GET COLD HERE. I CAN'T IMAGINE LIVING UP NORTH AND DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM. NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR

VEHICLE RUNS FINE, SHUT IT OFF IT WON'T START. SOMETIMES IT WILL TAKE 2 OR 3 TURNS TO START IT OTHER TIMES 10 TO 15 MINUTES TO START IT. REPLACED IGNITION CYLINDER, SWITCH AND TUMBLERS, THINKING THIS WAS IT. NO. NO ONE CAN FINE PROBLEM. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH OTHER 2006 EQUINOX FROM THE FORUMS I READ. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE IT LEAVES PEOPLE LIKE ME STRANDED. I HAVE EMAILED CHEVROLET ONCE ALREADY AND TOLD THEM IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO ME WHEN I GET STRANDED FOR MY FAMILY TO SUE THEM. CHEVROLET TOLD ME TO TAKE MY CAR TO A DEALER, I CALLED AND THE PERSON I TALKED TO TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN AND IF THE PROBLEM DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE THE CAR WAS THERE , THEY WOULD CHARGE ME $ 85.00 PER HR. , IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY DAY , IT MIGHT GO A MONTH WITHOUT DOING IT AND THEN IT MIGHT DO IT 3 TIMES IN ONE DAY. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR JANUARY 2014. I HATE TO TRADE IT IN, BECAUSE THEY WILL JUST SELL IT TO SOMEONE AND I DON'T WANT IT TO BE SOMEONE WITH CHILDREN AND HAVE THIS HAPPEN TO THEM. SO, IN ENDING THIS COMPLAINT I HOPE THAT YOU WILL LOOK INTO THIS 2006 EQUINOX PROBLEM. THANK YOU !! ( THIS GETS SCARY TO A 63 YR. WOMEN AT NIGHTTIME ). *TR

THE ISSUE WITH THE HVAC APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM, NO HEAT JUST COLD AIR, DEFROSTER WILL NOT DEFROST WINDOWS BUT FOGS THEM ALL UP, WHICH IS REALLY A PROBLEM @ 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. SPOKE TO DEALER ABOUT TSB # 11135 ISSUED BY GM MAY OF 2012 AND THEY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT WHAT IS CONTAINED IN THIS BULLETIN. WENT BACK TO DEALER CONCERNING CRUISE CONTROL JUST SHUTTING OFF WITHOUT WARNING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THEY COULD NOT GET VEHICLE TO REPLICATE THIS (WHAT NO FAULT CODES). INTERMITTENT NO START WHEN ACTUALLY USING KEY TO START, DEALER CLAIMS THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THIS ALSO. IT APPEARS THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS VERY GOOD AT NOT WANTING TO FIX OR ABLE TO REPLICATE ANY OF THESE ISSUES. VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT MARCH 25, 2014 WITH 99,704 MILES ON IT, CURRENT MILEAGE IS JUST SHY OF 103,000. COME ON GM STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT AND TELL YOUR DEALERS TO BE TRUTHFUL WHEN RESALING A VEHICLE THAT HAS A TRACK RECORD LIKE THIS.
