| 2006 | VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM | BOUGHT USED IN FEB 2012 FROM LOCAL DEALER THE HEATER WORKED FINE UNTIL EARLY APRIL. WE HAD WEIRD WEATHER HERE IN UPSTATE NY VERY WARM SO DID NOT NEED TO USE HEATER THAT MUCH. TOOK DAUGHTER TO WORK AT 4 AM AND TURNED ON HEAT AND COLD AIR IS COMING THRU VENTS, THE TEMP GAUGE IS FINE I AM THINKING MAYBE THE THERMOSTAT IS STUCK OPEN IT MIGHT BE ORIGINAL THERMOSTAT OR FROM WHAT I SEE ON THIS SITE THE MECHANICAL DOOR IS STUCK OR BROKEN. I SPOKE WITH DEALER HE SAID IT WAS COVERED IN THE WARRANTY TO PAY THE $100 DEDUCTIBLE AND HAVE IT CHECKED OUT , WITH SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS CAN THE ATTORNEY GENERAL GET INVOLVED ON THIS IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE IF NO HEAT AND DEFROSTING WINDOWS AND GM SITS ON THEIR HANDS AND SAY IT IS WITHIN GM'S CRITERIA WELL GM OBVIOUSLY SUCKS AND DO NOT HONOR A MAJOR DEFECT IN THEIR PRODUCT. I LIKE THE EQUINOX BUT ONLY HAD IT 2 MONTHS AND THIS IS NOT GOOD GLAD IT IS GETTING WARM NOW. *TR |
| 2012 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT SOMETIMES THE ENGINE TRIES TO CUT OUT, AND THE CAR JERKS LIKE IT IS TRYING TO STAY CRANKED. I HAVE A FRIEND THAT HAS A GM TERRAIN AND HERS DOES THE SAME THING. WHEN TURNING THERE IS A KNOCKING IN THE STEERING. THE SPEAKERS HAVE A RATTLING SOUND LIKE THEY ARE BUSTED, BUT IT DOESN'T DO IT ALL OF THE TIME. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER, BUT OF COURSE THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT, THE CAR NOW HAS 23,000 AND IT STILL HASN'T BEEN FIXED. (THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE SEPTEMBER OF 2011 WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR). *TR |
