Takata recall. When you drive the car longer then 5 minutes it over heats and you let it cool down and start to drive then over heats again but it has enough coolant in it and you fix the thermostat and flush the system. And there is no heat in the car what so ever.

I am not exactly sure what it is that's wrong with my car it has to do with my brakes and the pedal.. I thought the brake pads were bad. When i changed them it had almost brand new ones on.. My traction control light stays on and my abs light stays on.. The pedal has hard spots in it and it just grinds like the pads are bad when i hit my brakes! Its not safe and i don't know what's wrong with it! My research shows…

One wiper blade quit functioning and causes severe danger to the driver. Heater quit working causing fogging issues and keeping my kids & wife in danger. Apparently these issues are very common according to the 2009 report gm recalled 59,000 vehicles for this issue but our vehicle was not included in the recall.

1. My abs and traction control light come on almost everytime i drive the car. Most of the time they come on for no reason, just driving on smooth/good road conditions they come on or pulling out of a driveway. 2. Doesn't matter if the abs light is on or off, i've had to smash down on the brake pedal numerous times so i don't hit the car in front of me because the breaks feel like they aren't grabbing. Luckily my…

Vehicle will not start! Problem began when key fob unlock button would not work, so key was used to open door, alarm activated, deactivated alarm, tried to start, locked car icon indicating security system activated and will not release, even when disconnecting the car battery and reconnecting it.

Brought vehicle in due to no heat - they informed me there had been a recall on the 200 equinox for the heater core - at this point i am outside the 10 yr and the 120000 mile warranties for the recall. I believe if there is a recall it should be honored at any time the situation arises if no former knowledge is known of the situation.

Within the last month while i am driving my truck would just cut off with out any warning in the middle of traffic. I have had a tune up, the left wheel barring changed, front struts done and i have just brought a pcm. My abs and tc lights stays on and my mechanic can not explain why it keeps cutting off. I have checked for recalls for this year and there are none listed; however, i have seen some on the nhtsa…

It has not been two years after the heating system in my vehicle was fixed, and now i am experiencing the same issue again. The heat in my vehicle is only working while my vehicle is moving. When the car is in park or when i stop at the light the car blows out cold air.

Any time there is rain or going through a car wash my car has a leak of water that collects in my floorboard. I have read a million reviews online at chevroletforum.com and numerous youtube videos documenting the same problem with the make and model. If gm plans on charging for an upgrade like a sunroof then it should properly work. The reason for concern on this, the water leaks through the dash and even sometimes…

My heater is blowing cold air. The temperature blend door broke, and it will cost me almost $1000 to fix it! This would have been deadly if it had gone out in -30 degree minnesota winter temperatures.

The heating system no longer produces hot air for the heater/defroster. The problem has been identified as a broken (defective) cheap plastic arm that connects the temperature blend door to an actuator that controls the air blend. Estimated repair bill is $750-$1000. Living in the northwest it's crucial to have a functioning heater/defroster. A winter without such can prove to be disastrous, even fatal. What will gm…

My cars engine light and low engine power light came on while crossing an intersection reducing my speed and nearly causing an accident! When it rains, snows or goes through a car wash this happens. This has happened on multiple occasions and no mechanic has been able to resolve the issue.

My heat only works at idle speed. Replaced the blend door and the heatercore all at once while the dash was out. Replaced thermostat and topped off coolant after lines were flushed, no leaks from the water pump. What are my other options?

Takata recall recently my 2006 chevrolet equinox ls has stopped heating up my vehicle. I have read multiple articles of owners of this vehicle having the same problem. It is due to the heater blend door being broken. To get this problem fixed is around 1,000 dollars. That is ridiculous, after knowing that more than several people are having the same problems i don't understand why there hasn't been an recall sent…
