2006 Chevrolet Equinox

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE. THE PROBLEMS STARTED WITH A LOAD KNOCKING NOISE THAT ORIGINATED FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, AFTER 5 ATTEMPTS TO FIX AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY EVENTUALLY ENDED UP REPLACING THE ENTIRE REAR AXEL AND ALL COMPONENTS. AFTER THIS ISSUE WAS RESOLVED, THE BRAKES BEGAN MAKING A HIGH PITCHED SQUEALING NOISE THAT GETS PROGRESSIVELY WORSE EACH DAY. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN INSPECTED AND DO NOT NEED REPLACEMENT. SOUNDS LIKE SOME PARTS MAY DISLODGE FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH STARTING THE VEHICLE. AT RANDOM TIMES, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN OVER WHEN CRANKED TO START. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP TO TRY AND RESOLVE THE BRAKE NOISES AND STARTING ISSUE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AT LEAST 10 TIMES. WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE PURCHASED BACK BY CHEVY. *TR

RATTLING SOUND UNDER THE HOOD WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR JUST IDLING. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. DIAGNOSE WAS MISSING BOLTS FROM THE FLY WHEEL. BOLTS HAD BEEN SLOWLY COMING OFF OF THE FLYWHEEL AND THERE WAS ONLY ONE BOLT LEFT. DEFINITELY APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY, VERY SERIOUS SITUATION HAD I BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT A HIGHER SPEED. DEALERSHIP IS REPLACING BOLTS. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MADE A THUMPING NOISE WHILE DRIVING. EVENTUALLY, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND FAILED TO MOVE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE SENSOR CONNECTED TO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH PROMPTS THE RPM TO DOWNSHIFT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP FOR 21 DAYS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND SPEED WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 7,500. THE CONSUMER STATED QUESTIONS THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT DOWNSHIFTS AT HIGH SPEEDS AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE CONSUMER STATED THE FAILURE MILEAGE IS 7,035 AND 10MPH. UPDATED 08/29/07 *TR

VEHICLE MAKE LOUD ROARING NOISE DURING HARD RAIN, AND LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE ACTED LIKE IT WAS HYDROPLANING, HOWEVER, THEY ROADS WERE PUDDLED ENOUGH TO CAUSE SUCH AN EFFECT ESPECIALLY AT 5,000 MILES, BRAND NEW TIRES. THE VEHICLE SOUNDED LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS GRINDING, AND AFTER PUNCHING THE GAS, HAD NO RESPONSE. I PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE CAR, IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY AS THE RAIN SUBSIDED. I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT DATE OF THE INCIDENT. *TR
