Just before thanksgiving 2016 my wife's car started alternating back and forth luke warm air to cold air. i have replaced the heater core, the blend motor door, bled the lines for air bubbles, and today the blower motor resistor. nothing has changed the heater problems. it doesn't matter if the car is sitting or moving, it doesn't work right. if it's cold i can't keep my windows clear from fogging up or frost on my windows. *tr
Window on passenger front door will not work. it went down and with extreme slowness finally got it to roll back up. cannot use at all now. *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 door that will consistently lock. the back door locks will get stuck half way and won't lock or unlock except manually. 3- stabilitrac- the stabilitrac will disable randomly. it has happened while driving in dry conditions or wet conditions, on warm and cold days and also when the car is being started in the driveway. 4- airbags- the "service airbags" light will come on and go off for no reason. it will come on one day and be on for a week and then go off for a month or two and then come back on again. 5- drivers side headlight cover holds a lot of moisture 6- check tire pressure comes on quite a bit for no reason. all tire pressures are double checked and are at the perfect pressure recommended by gm. *tr
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
M7 2008 equinox rear wiper motor shorted out and is tied in directly to the battery, thus killing my battery as well. *tr
My rear windshield wiper motor caught on fire. it cause the inside of my car to be filled with a smoke. i had to have the motor replaced and the car cleaned to get the smell out. *tr
Hvac control defects. when recirculation air button is activated, the compressor is engaged with ac on, even if the ac button is not activated (pushed). *tr
Several incidents with vehicle from 6/08-current - check engine lights and several repairs including transmission replacement and currently awaiting parts for a new problem. car 24 months old, purchase new and has had several issues and has been towed 4 times for breakdowns. have 2 small children under 5yrs and terrified to drive with issues. have copies of all dealership paperwork, repairs. repairs include, not limited to transmission replaced, heater/cooler system leak, lighting/dash replaced, tire pressure sensor replaced but currently broke, currently awaiting parts for timing chain replacement approx cost $5000 repair, leather cracking, windshield wiper rear not working, carpeting coming out in need of repair, front headlight leak and foggy in need of repair. this car is constantly in the shop, getting nowhere with general motors. have been stranded on side of highway with children when broke down. dangerous now knowing what will happen next. *tr
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 safety concern for me as i am the primary driver of this 2008 equinox. has anyone else noticed this safety hazard? i talked with the dealer & he was unaware of this problem. *tr
2008 chevy equinox - purchased may 2008. nine (9) of the last eleven (11) months, the car has been in the shop for various warning lights; 'service battery charging system', 'service tire pressure monitoring system", & "service stabilitrak"on several occasions each. each time, i was told that a module relay was replaced. they also eventually gave us a new battery and changed the starter. now, the check engine light is lit up, and the "service stabilitrak" light is coming back on. the rear wiper will make a single sweep even when in the off position and the radio will start searching for a station even with a strong signal from an area station. if i have the cruise control on, the cd's will skip songs or restart itself. most times, i am told that the issue needs to be happening when i bring it in. unfortunately, it usually happens when on the highway or after hours. therefore, nothing is done to correct the constant problems. i really feel like i purchased a lemon and even gave my dealer a copy of the texas lemon law, i do not feel comfortable taking even short length road trips for fear my car will fail to run properly. i feel as though i am stuck paying for a "lemon" car for four more years. *tr
