Recently reported EQUIPMENT problems on 2007 Chevrolet Equinox

On this day april 8, 13 while driving on the freeway all of a sudden the sunroof of my 2007 equinox ls flew off. *tr

2007 chevy equinox. water leaks into spare tire well. i never had occasion to look in the spare tire well as i have never had a flat tire so i don't know when it started leaking. but after checking on the internet i find that this is an ongoing problem with this vehicle from the very first time that gm started producing this vehicle. *tr

I have the 2007 chevrolet equinox which been a lemon since new. among the many breakdowns over the three years the driver side power lock does not work and the most glaring is the sudden failure of the power steering assist motor. my wife was putting air in the tire and the battery failed. the battery needed a sudden recharge. why pay on a vehicle with constant breakdowns. the repairs alone on the power steering assist motor are over 700 dollars to also get the stabilitrak light off. the recall of the power steering assist motor on the chevrolet cobalt needs to extend to the chevrolet equinox as well. now with no money to fix the motor, the driving has and is an adventure with no power steering. even if i could fix the vehicle myself, the part is virtually unavailable.

I was driving my 2007 chevy equinox, and i lost my steering. i had to fix the problem, i could not drive the vehicle. i had the same problem as the chevy cobalt is having now. i contacted gm for some assistance, and they did nothing. i want you to know that the chevy cobalt might not be the only vehicle that has this problem. luckily for me, i did not have a accident, or any other issues listed below. *tr

I've had just exact same problem as the following other complaint explains... i bought a 2007 chevy equinox new. a couple of days after taking it home a strange problem started occurring, an electrical problem between the left speakers and the directionals. a loud rapid noise would suddenly come through the left speakers as i was driving and would continue until i used the turn signal (either direction). the dealership has never been able to locate the problem and i have the same problem still. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet equinox. while driving 90 mph, the vehicle accelerated to a high speed. the contact downshifted, which caused the vehicle to decrease to an appropriate speed. the failure recurred when he shifted gears; however, he was once again able to downshift the vehicle and it returned to a normal speed. the dealer stated that the floormat was caught in the groove and caused the unintended acceleration. the purchase date was unknown. the current and failure mileages were 2,160.

I bought a 2007 chevy equinox new. a couple of days after taking it home a strange problem started occurring, an electrical problem between the left speakers and the directionals. a loud rapid noise would suddenly come through the left speakers as i was driving and would continue until i used the turn signal (either direction). i had the vehicle back to the dealer numerous times. first i was told there was an intermittent short in the radio, but the radio replacement did not fix the problem. then the left tweeter speaker was changed, the radio recalibrated (three times), the radio software updated, and finally the body control module changed. none of these things fixed the problem. the gm engineer looked at it twice and still couldn't solve the problem. i was told no other gm product in the entire country had the same problem as my vehicle. when i went to the general manager of the dealership and told him of the problem and that the vehicle was a lemon, he contacted the gm district rep, who refused to replace the vehicle. i was forced to take gm to arbitration, and now i am getting my money back plus my filing fee. the problem is a safety issue and significantly impairs the value of the vehicle. i am turning the equinox in next week, taking my money and buying a honda cr-v. i would not advise anyone to buy an equinox after my experience, and especially gm's attitude. in fact, i will never buy another gm product. if you have had your equinox to the dealer at least 4 times for the same problem and are still getting the run around and no resolution, first write to the chevy customer assistance center for help in repairing the vehicle. you will need to do this in order to request a replacement vehicle or a repurchase. second, don't let gm keep stringing you along. file for arbitration under your state's lemon law program. it'll come to that anyway. please, read the reviews and the auto blogs about this vehicle on line. even the newest models rate poorly. *tr

The passenger air bag only comes on now & then. my vehicle has been to the garage numerous times. i've explained what happens. also have issue with wipes work, then not, blinkers work then not, blinkers double click. radio gets real loud sometimes, beeps when door open real loud. have replaced 3 batteries & two starters. but everytime in garage, hear "nothing wrong". i don't feel safe driving my car. i'm afraid if i get in accident my air bag wont work. all this started six months after bought car. *tr

My trip odometer keeps resetting on its own, when your going down the road. also my car sounds like it is taking off when started the first time during the day. i was told it will warm up and go away. but it sounds like the exhaust is falling off or something. i think there is a problem with the computer since it has been. and the passenger seat air bag does not always come on. reset several times, but keeps doing the same thing with the trip odometer. *tr

I have had my 2007 equinox sense 2007 and the first few month the left headlight went out and then a few months later it went out again this headlight has went out 5 times and the left headlight has went out about 3 times and each time it goes to westgate chevorlet they can not find anything wrong but they are charging me each time i take it in now. the left headlight is out again so do i need to get a lawyer because i do not think that i should pay for something that keeps happening. *tr

Tl*- the contact stated air conditioner in the 2007 chevrolet equinox was not working properly. one could not switch the settigns so that one could set the recirculate air button. in order for the recirculate air button to work the temperature had to be over 40 degrees. the contactwas concerned because he was breathing the carbon monoxide from other vehicles. the contact took vehicle to dealer, and they stated that there wasn't any flaw with the vehicle, that it was designed that way. the failure mileage was 968 ,and the current mileage was 1050.*ak
