I recently bought a 2006 chevrolet equinox and the floorboard is staying wet, like standing water. i've researched the issue and it appears this is an ongoing issue with them. this is a safety hazard as it makes it feet wet and slip off the break and gas peddles. why hasnt gm fixed this? not to count the electrical part involved! can we say fire hazard?? come on gm, do your job!

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.

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 service bulletin. can someone please assist me this is very dangerous!!!!

A few weeks ago while driving my vehicles abs and traction control lights came on, right after that the brakes have started making a loud grinding noise or lock up altogether to where i can't stop. i have done plenty of research over this and it seems to be a recurring thing with these vehicles. if everyone of them is having this issue and the brakes are that dangerous, how has there not been a recall. this happens everytime i drive, whether going down an interstate and having to hot my brakes to just driving in a small town, then when i try and go again they make the grinding noise while driving for a minute.

The key can be removed from the ignition while the vehicle is running or while in any other position. there was a recall on other models for this exact same issue, but no recall was made for my vehicle.

Bought my 06 eqinox in may of 2015. day 2, battery died. dealer put new battery in. next week, battery dead and took out stereo with it. dealer replaced battery and stereo. now having trouble starting again. have replaced brake pads and rotors twice on rear wheels and front once. car makes grinding noise still when backing with foot on the brake. abs and tc lights came on may of 2017. had checked out and needed front right wheel speed sensor replaced. replaced it and light stayed on. had it rechecked and it still reads the same. no brakes. pedal stutters on the way down and then has to be forced down the rest of the way to stop the car. had mechanic look at it and was told to replace abs module. we did and i finally have brakes again but now my break light is on along with the abs/tc lights. car has sunroof. had car 2 years and all of a sudden my back floor is flooded. thought the kids spilled water. nope. soaked a beach towel cleaning it up. next hard rain, flooded again. lines are clogged and backing up into my car. two beach towels ...

My 2006 chevy equinox heater start blowing cold air on december 1, 2016. per the chevy dealer the heater blend door is broken it cost me over $2,300 to fix the heater . there are too many 2006 chevy equinox with the me problem. this is s defect and a recall should be done. gm need to pay for this part and labor defect.

What is happening: the heater blend door is stuck blowing only cold air. this is after the engine is warm and working properly. in northern minnesota this is a huge problem. from a quick search this is happening far too often for it to be anything other than a manufacture defect. it is a very poor design which i believe should be recalled.

The key is hanging up in the ignition after turning vehicle off. it is often difficult to put the key back in the ignition to then start it again. the vehicle now stalls while running without notice. when it does, all power cuts off (power brakes, traction control, lights radio, breaks - anything electric shuts off. have been able to pull the vehicle over and restart it almost immediately. happens on the street as well as freeway. i wonder whether this is covered by a recall or something. please let me know as this does not seem to be very safe.
