Door locks on all 4 swinging doors act inconsistently. When locking valuable items with the remote, only some of the doors would lock. Very dangerous and i see this should be a recall with all the complaints on the internet. Wife doesn't on feel safe if she need to get in her car and lock the doors only to find 2 of the doors did not lock. *tr

The drivers side back door will sometimes unlock with the kiosk and sometimes i have to manually unlock the door lock. This has been going on for a year. Now my drivers side window will sometimes roll down after several times trying to roll it down. Other times it will not roll down. Has anyone else experienced this with their 2008 equinox? *tr

I purchased my chevrolet equinox brand new in 2008 and currently we are having issues with the following: 1- drivers side window- will only roll down and/or up intermittently. Occasionally it will roll back up if the interior panel is hit several times. 2- door locks/alarm- the alarm will set but the doors will not lock with the key fob. When using the power locks inside the car, the drivers side door is the only…

Drivers side power door lock stopped working. Driver side power window slowly began to fail. Would work when it wanted to and then stopped working altogether. Seems like the same recall as the 250k midsize suv's based on the trailblazer(2006,2007). *tr

Locks on car have got to where they may or may not lock or unlock. Not only very inconvenient to get in or out of car but could very well be a major safety issue in the event of a wreck and not able to get out. *tr

Door locks occasionally failing to lock/unlock when using keyless entry or internal door look switch. Warmer weather appears to contribute to the frequency in which the doors fail to look/unlock. *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…

On 5/27/11 my rear wiper froze up in the on mode which caused my battery to go dead. In trying to jumper the car we noticed the driver door would not open even with the handle. The passenger doors would open. I had to crawl over the console to flip the hood release so we could start the car. My concern is if there was an accident & battery was dislodged you would never be able to get the driver out. This is a big…
