I bought a 2005 chevy equinox in march with less than 38,000 miles. The ac never really got cold. I called gm as well as looking @ blogs on the internet. It seemed like a common problem. They only used this compressor for one year in any vehicle. I wrote a nice little letter explaining that my 2005 equinox with not quit 43,000 miles on it had a ac compressor problem. I am the 2nd owner of this car and it was…

My 2005 chevrolet equinox starting making a loud grinding noise when i had just gotten off of the interstate and was applying the brakes and turning.

At aprox 100k miles the cd player jammed and won't play cds nor eject or accept them. Since i cannot afford to fix this the cd player says it has an error all the time and attempts to clear the error and runs and runs. It still remains jammed and still gives me an error across the screen every 10 minutes. *tr

Bought the car used with 20,000 and it was having problems a week later. Passenger window would not roll up,grinding and clicking at slow turns. They replaced rotors ,clutch and suspension and the problem was solved. Then came the air condition not blowing cold air and the ignition sticking on start up. The final straw was the transmission slipping and dropping into lower gears,the car will be in the shop in the…
