2008 Chevrolet Equinox

I PURCHASED MY 2008 EQUINOX IN MARCH 2010; THERE WAS SLIGHT MOISTURE BUILDING UP IN BOTH HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES; NOW MAJOR MOISTURE. AFTER REPLACING BOTH HEADLIGHTS AND MULTIPLE BULBS, THE ENTIRE LEFT SIDE WENT OUT IN JULY 2014. I TOOK TO A DEALERSHIP AND GM PART WAS REPLACED FOR $350 (HAD WORK DISCOUNT). MY RIGHT SIDE IS BUILDING UP WITH MOISTURE AND WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE TO BE REPLACED ONCE MY HEADLIGHT GOES OUT. THIS IS A KNOWN GM ISSUE; HOWEVER, GM DOES NOT SEEM TO WANT TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR A POORLY MANUFACTURED HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IN THE EQUINOX. *TR

PASSENGER AIR BAGS DID NOT WORK, DOESN'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE A PASSENGER. LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON TO SERVICE AIRBAGS. ALSO MY STABIL CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON THEN GO OFF. A COUPLE MONTHS OR EVEN LONGER, THEY COME ON AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THEM CHECKED OUT. THE PASSENGER AIR BAGS SENSOR WAS REPLACE AT A COST OF $900.00 ANDSTABIL CONTROL LIGHTS REPAIR WAS $350 AND CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS . ALSO BOTH MY HEADLIGHTS ARE FULL OF MOISTURE AND I CONTINUE TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE BULBS, AFTER REPLACING ONE BULB THAT NIGHT WAS PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE , BULB BURNED OUT AGAIN.I TALKED TO THE DEALER NO RECALLS ON ANY OF THE PROBLEMS AND I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH GMC PRODUCTS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

PASSENGER AIR BAGS DON'T WORK, DOESN'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE A PASSENGER. LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON TO SERVICE AIRBAGS. ALSO MY STABIL CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON THEN GO OFF. A COUPLE MONTHS OR EVEN LONGER, THEY COME ON AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THEM CHECKED OUT. FIND NOTHING. ALSO BOTH MY HEADLIGHTS ARE FULL OF MOISTURE AND I CONTINUE TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE BULBS WHICH ARE A PAIN TO GET TO. I HAD A BLAZER THAT DID THE SAME THING WITH THE HEADLIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS. *TR

THE DRIVER'S DOOR OF MY 2008 EQUINOX HAS STARTED NOT LOCKING OR UNLOCKING WITH THE REMOTE. THE WINDOW WILL NOT GO DOWN, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT COME ON OR GO OFF WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED OR CLOSED, & THE RADIO WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED. I HAVE ALSO CHANGED HEADLIGHTS 3 TIMES IN THE 3 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. NOW THE TAGS LIGHTS ARE BURNT OUT ALSO. SEEMS LIKE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM TO ME. *TR

MY 2008 EQUINOX HEADLIGHTS ARE FULL OF WATER WHICH MAKE THE VISIBILITY AT NIGHT VERY BAD. THE DOOR LOCKS WILL ONLY OPEN THE LOCKS PART OF THE WAY AND YOU CAN'T GET IN THE CAR, AND THIS SEEMS TO BE AFFECTED MORE WHEN THE SUN SHINES ON THE VEHICLE. IT ACTS LIKE THE LOCKS WON'T WORK IN THE HEAT. I ALSO HAVE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON ANYTIME SOMEONE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS SUCH A COMFORTING FEELING, AND I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THESE ISSUES ARE NOT RECALLED BY THE AUTO MAKER. CAN ANYONE HELP US? THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THESE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD THAT ARE NOT SAFE......... *TR

THE CAR WAS JERKING INTO GEAR, ESPECIALLY WHILE PUTTING IT INTO REVERSE. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR THE NEXT MORNING AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE SHOP. I HAD TO GET THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 43,000 MILES. I HAVE REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS TWICE AND HIT THE HOOD THIS LAST TIME AND IT CAME ON. THE MECHANIC SAID IT'S NOT SEALED PROPERLY. I HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS AFTER A THUNDERSTORM. THE MECHANIC SAID THE CAR IS NOT PROPERLY SEALED AND MOISTURE IS TRAPPED INSIDE THE LIGHTS. THE COST TO REPLACE AN $11 BULB WAS $24 IN LABOR BECAUSE ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET TO THE HEADLIGHT. THE BRAKE LIGHTS COST $$54 IN LABOR BECAUSE YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO DISASSEMBLE THE ENTIRE BUMPER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WOULD BECOME FILLED WITH WATER, AFFECTING THE ILLUMINATION OF THE LIGHTS WHEN IN OPERATION. THE CONTACT WAS TOLD BY BOTH THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER THAT IF HE ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO RUN FOR SIX HOURS, THE WATER WOULD BURN FROM THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REMEDY THAT THE DEALER PROVIDED DID NOT SEEM TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE FAILURE WOULD RECUR WHENEVER IT WOULD RAIN OR WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN THROUGH THE CAR WASH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THERE WAS NOT A REMEDY AVAILABLE FOR THE PARTICULAR FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 31,350. UPDATED 3/13/13 *CN THE CONSUMER HAS SINCE EXPERIENCED ANOTHER HEADLIGHT FAILURE.

HEADLIGHT LENSES WITH MAJOR MOISTURE ISSUES THAT WILL NOT GO AWAY. THERE IS A MAJOR AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS. GM TELLS ME THAT THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTLY DOES NOT INCLUDE LIGHT BULBS. THIS IS NOT A BULB PROBLEM. THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY LETS MOISTURE IN, BUT DOES NOT LET IT OUT. IT GETS TO THE POINT THAT THE HEADLIGHT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS A BULB PROBLEM AT NIGHT. THE MOISTURE BLOCKS THAT MUCH LIGHT.

THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE MOISTURE THAT DOES NOT DRY OUT WHEN RUN, EVEN FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED DURING A SNOW STORM. THE MOISTURE IN THE HEADLIGHT FROZE LETTING VERY LITTLE LIGHT THROUGH. CHEVROLET WAS CONTACTED AND THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT UNDER ANY WARRANTY OR RECALL. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS DURING A SNOW STORM AND NIGHT.
