2006 Chevrolet Equinox

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. WHILE DECELERATING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT FELT THE BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY. THE TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN USE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ON THREE OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

WE HAVE HAD REPETITIVE PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS BRAKES KICKING IN AND THE VEHICLE NOT WANTING TO STOP. HAVE HAD IT SERVICED 3 TIMES IN 4 MONTHS. (HAVE ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR 6 MONTHS). REPLACED BOTH FRONT WHEEL ABS SENSORS AND THE LAST TIME THE ABS CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED AND NOW IT IS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. IT IS A PERSISTENT PROBLEM BUT THE SENSOR LIGHTS ONLY COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. WE HAVE NOT EVEN PUT 3000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE SINCE WE HAVE OWNED IT. FROM LOOKING ONLINE WE HAVE FOUND THAT WE ARE ONE OF MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN IT IS DEALING WITH A BRAKE ISSUE I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT CHEVY HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. WE ALSO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE IGNITION WHEN YOU TURN IT OVER IT CONTINUES TO TRY TO START AFTER IT IS RUNNING. THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IS STOP IS TO STEP ON THE GAS. AGAIN BY LOOKING ONLINE I SEE THAT THIS TOO IS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM. I REALLY LIKE THE CAR BUT AT THIS POINT I AM SO FRUSTRATED WITH TAKING IT INTO THE SHOP ALL OF THE TIME AND HAVING THEM NOT BE ABLE TO TELL ME WHAT NEEDS DONE TO FIX IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE PASSENGER WAS SEATED IN THE FRONT SEAT, THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

I HAVE AN 06 CHEVY EQUINOX. OVER THE PAST MONTH IT HAS BEEN RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF AS YOU ARE DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND IT SHUT OFF. AFTER A FEW TRIES TO START IT BACK UP I CALLED MY HUSBAND HE CAME TO GET ME AND IT STARTED BACK UP. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC THAT DAY. HE SAW NOTHING WRONG. THERE WAS NO CODE THAT CAME UP TO IDENTIFY A PROBLEM. SINCE THEN IT HAS SHUT OFF MULTIPLE TIME WHILE IN MOTION. THE ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN AND THE TC LIGHT WILL COME. I FOUND THIS FORUM AND READ OTHER COMMENTS OF THIS HAPPENING. I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND HAVE TO GO OVER A BRIDGE EVERY DAY TO GO TO WORK. I AM SCARED THIS MIGHT HAPPEN WHILE ON THE BRIDGE OR HIGHWAY. GM SHOULD REALLY LOOK IN TO THIS PROBLEM IF IT IS HAPPENING TO MORE THAN A FEW PEOPLE. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO GIVE AWAY IF NO PROBLEM CAN BE SEEN BY A MECHANIC NOR CAN I AFFORD A NEW CAR. SOME ONE PLEASE HELP OR GIVE ME AN ANSWER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT HAD SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND EXITED WHEN THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY RESTARTED WITHOUT THE KEY BEING IN THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSIS OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

THE HEATER VENT DOOR HAS BECOME INOPERABLE RESULTING IN NO HEAT ENTERING THE CABIN. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE BUT YET NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED BY GM (ONLY SERVICE BULLETINS). THIS IS A FLAWED DESIGN AND IS A HAZARDOUS SAFETY ISSUE DURING AN ICE/SNOW EVENT. THE VEHICLE ALSO BEGAN OVERHEATING FOR NO APPARENT REASON (EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE WATER PUMP, THERMOSTAT & FLUSHING THE SYSTEM). THESE SYMPTOMS ALL BEGAN SHORTLY AFTER THE HEATING PROBLEM MATURED. RELATED OR NOT, THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH SIMILAR (MAJOR) EXPENSE IN TRYING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE(S). THERE IS SOMETHING FLAWED IN THE DESIGN OF THIS COOLANT/HEATING SYSTEM AND GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!! *TR
