A cheap plastic part (air temperature control door ) breaks and you lose all heat and cannot defrost or defog windows, and as such have virtually no visibilty, which in my opinion is a very serious safety concern. *tr

The chevy equinox 2006 has had numerous problems with the heating system valve door breaking. It was explained to me by my dealer that this has been an ongoing problem with the car yet it is costing consumers approximately $1,000. To fix. There needs to be a recall on the trap door that releases the heat. *tr

Sounds like a dragging muffler while driving down the road or just idling. Called the dealership to see if they could just listen to it, needed to use a stethoscope to pinpoint where the noise was coming from. A bolt had fallen from the oil pan and was occasionally hitting the fly wheel. We were told we couldn't drive it until it was fixed and that we either had to have it done there or towed to where it would be…

We purchased a 2006 chevrolet equinox in may 2007. In sept. We started to notice a strange odor in the car. I heard water sloshing around in the car on inspection of the car we found standing water in the tire well of the car. Everytime we clean the water out of the tirewell it returns. At present we are unable to determine the origin. (the cargo mat carpet in the back was not even wet). I would like this complaint…

The car was parked from tuesday 8/19 until 8/23 due to tropical storm fay. On 8/24, the floorboards were soaking wet from under the dashboard to under the back seat; push on the carpet and water would just well up. The parking lot was not flooded, the windows rolled up; the seats were dry, as was all of the inside panels; so i'm not sure where the water came from. I've called chevy, they are sending me to a…

My check engine light comes on and the dealer tells me that it is water corrosion from the water leaking through the electrical wiring harness. This causes my car to run, even though i have my pedal to the floor, very…
