2006 Chevrolet Equinox UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Unknown

THE KEY SLIDES OUT THE IGNITION & THE IGNITION CAN SLIP FROM THE "RUN" TO THE "ACCESSORY" OR "OFF" POSITION WHILE I'M DRIVING, CUTTING POWER AND CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE

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.

RAN HOT .BLOWN HEAD GASGET

WATER IS FLOODING INTO THE CABIN. SEEMS TO DO SO AFTER DECENT ABOUT OF RAIN.

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.

VEHICLE DOES NOT GET WARM. BLOWS COLD AIR.

HEATER BLOWS COLD AIR IN WINTER

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.

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.

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?

HEATING BLOWS COLD AIR DUE TO BLEND DOOR MALFUNCTION

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.

BAD BLEND DOOR HEAT BLOWS COLD AIR

AIR BLEND DOOR BROKEN. HEATER BLOWS COLD AIR. VEHICLE WAS RUNNING.

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 DO ABOUT THIS DEFECT?

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 OUT. I WOULD LIKE GM TO ISSUE A RECALL SO MANY PEOPLE ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND WITH NO HEAT!!!! THIS PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE DUE TO THE VEHICLE NOT HAVING A DEFROST

HEATER BLEND DOOR- TEMPERATURE DOOR IS BROKEN. THIS REPAIR IS ESTIMATED AT $1000.00. AFTER READING SEVERAL THOUSAND REVIEWS, THIS IS A PROBLEM OCCURRING IN ALL OF THE 06 CHEVY EQUINOX'S. CHEVY NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS DEFECT AND ISSUE A RECALL. THIS IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR THAT MOST CAN NOT AFFORD AND SOMETHING THAT NEEDS REPLACED IN A COUPLE OF YEARS.

IGNITION LET'S THE KEY GO WHILE VEHICLE IS STARTED. RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM CHEVROLET STATING A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR IGNITION CYLINDER. TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER ON 7/14/15 AND THEY SAID MY IGNITION HOUSING IS BAD ALSO. TRYING TO CHARGE ME 230.00 TO FIX THE IGNITION. I FEEL A RECALL NEEDS TO BE PLACED ON THE ENTIRE IGNITION NOT JUST THE CYLINDER. MY KEY STICKS SOMETIMES IN THE ON POSITION. MY KEY IS ABLE TO BE PULLED FROM THE IGNITION WHILE RUNNING. MY KEY SOMETIMES STICKS IN THE OFF POSITION SO I CAN'T START IT.

NO HEAT FROM HEATER ...BLOWS COLD AIR THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY 7 YEAR OLD DISABLE SON WHO CANNOT REGULATE HIS BODY TEMP VERY WELL.

HEAT STOPPED WORKING. COOLANT LEVELS ARE FINE, NO EXPLANATION

IGNITION IS STICKING. SOMETIME CANT TURN THE KEY.

THE ISSUE WITH THE HVAC APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM, NO HEAT JUST COLD AIR, DEFROSTER WILL NOT DEFROST WINDOWS BUT FOGS THEM ALL UP, WHICH IS REALLY A PROBLEM @ 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. SPOKE TO DEALER ABOUT TSB # 11135 ISSUED BY GM MAY OF 2012 AND THEY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT WHAT IS CONTAINED IN THIS BULLETIN. WENT BACK TO DEALER CONCERNING CRUISE CONTROL JUST SHUTTING OFF WITHOUT WARNING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THEY COULD NOT GET VEHICLE TO REPLICATE THIS (WHAT NO FAULT CODES). INTERMITTENT NO START WHEN ACTUALLY USING KEY TO START, DEALER CLAIMS THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THIS ALSO. IT APPEARS THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS VERY GOOD AT NOT WANTING TO FIX OR ABLE TO REPLICATE ANY OF THESE ISSUES. VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT MARCH 25, 2014 WITH 99,704 MILES ON IT, CURRENT MILEAGE IS JUST SHY OF 103,000. COME ON GM STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT AND TELL YOUR DEALERS TO BE TRUTHFUL WHEN RESALING A VEHICLE THAT HAS A TRACK RECORD LIKE THIS.

THE TEMPERATURE BLEND DOOR IS THE PROBLEM ON MY VEHICLE. I DO NOT HAVE ANY HEAT, WHICH MEAN I DO NOT HAVE DEFROSTERS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION, IN WHICH THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THIS VEHICLE.. I DON'T KNOW HOW IT IS NOT RECALLED. I WAS TOLD MY MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP IT COULD COST $4,000 TO FIX. I BROUGHT IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC THAT TOLD ME IT IS SET UP TO FAIL, AS IT IS CHEAPLY MADE! IS CHEVY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED WHEN THEIR DEFROSTERS SUDDENLY FAIL. I USED A PLUG IN HEATER TO DEFROST MY WINDOWS THIS PAST WINTER BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY TO FIX IT. THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS THE HEATER KEPT BLOWING MY FUSES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY!!

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE JUST SHUTS OFF AND IT TAKES ALONG TIME TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN AND THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST TWICE A DAY. *TR
