    The back hatch lock will not release on my 2010 equinox to open the hatch. It started with a difficult try to open it. Now it will not open at all. I am bringing it to the dealer tomorrow (it is out of warranty over 36,0000 miles) this hatch is not open every day. In reality it is open only about once a week, so it shouldn't have broken. *tr

    Chevy has known for almost 2 years that android and blackberry phones do not work with many new chevys. They have a software glitch that they can not repair. This means that owners are not able to safely use their phones while in their cars. I believe that there should be a recall to fix this problem. I personally purchased this vehicle with the knowledge that i had a bluetooth in it. I make and receive a lot of…

The other driver used his cell phone to call the police. I received minor injuries during the accident. A few days later i told my husband that i thought it was strange that onstar did not contact me right after the collision. He called…

    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…

    For a few months my key was having trouble turning in my ignition as well as my spare key. It finally stopped working all together. I had to get my car towed and had to have the housing and ignition replaced. My mechanic has informed me this is an ongoing problem with the equinox models. My friend and i have the same model but different years and are realizing we are having the same issues. If this is such a problem…
