I BOUGHT THE EQINOX IN THE END OF FEBRUARY 2005. I NOTICED A SOUR SMELL, AND HAD THE DEALER CLEAN INTERIOR BECAUSE OF THE ROTTEN SMELL. THE SMELL PERSISTED, AND THE DEALER HAD THE COOLANT SYSTEM FLUSHED AND SAID THAT WOULD CURE THE PROBLEM. THEN , WHEN THE WEATHER WARMED UP AND I TURNED ON THE VENT LIGHT STEAM WOULD COME OUT OF THE VENTS AND MOISTURE ON THE WINDOW INSIDE. I HAD THE CAR IN THE SHOP AGAIN FOR 5 DAYS, AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY HAD FLUSHED THE SYSTEM AGAIN AND THE SMELL WAS STILL THERE. TWO WEEKS LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE ORIGINALS DEALER, AND THEY DETERMINED THE HEATER CORE WAS GONE AND THEY REPLACED IT AND SEEMED TO RUN FINE , EXCEPT IT SEEMED TO RUN HOT AND WOULD LEAVE A LARGE PUDDLE. I COMPLAINED, BUT THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NORMAL, AND THAT ALL WAS OKAY. LAST MONTH IN MAY 2007 EVERY TIME I STOPPED THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WOULD CLIMB SO THE DEALER REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT. 3 WEEKS LATER THE GAUGE WOULD HIT RED EVERY TIME I WOULD STOP AT A LIGHT. I BROUGHT IT BACK AGAIN THIS TIME THEY SAID THE HEAD GASKETS WERE SHOT. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET, AND THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO GAVE ME THE PARTS, BUT IT STILL COST $918.00 SINCE NOW I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL MECHANICS, AND THEY CLAIMED THE ENGINE HEADS WARPED DUE TO THE HEATER CORE PROBLEMS IN THE BEGINNING, AND THAT IF I HAD A PRIVATE REPAIRMAN REPAIR THE GASKETS THE JOB WOULD HAVE COASTED $1000, AND CHEVROLET DID NOT GIVE ME ANY REAL BREAK.*AK |

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM |
AFTER DRIVING THE 2013 EQUINOX OFF THE DEALER LOT WITH 5 MILES ON THE SPEEDOMETER, THE RADIO SCREEN BEGAN TO SCRAMBLE. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE BACKUP SCREEN DID NOT WORK, AND GOES BLANK, THE RADIO SCREEN BEGINS TO FLICKER, SCRAMBLES, AND BLANKS OUT. CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THAT FRIDAY THE DEALER CHECKED IT AND ORDERED THE PART. ON APRIL 19, AT THE DEALER WE WERE TOLD THEY ORDERED THE WRONG PART, NO EXPLANATION NO COMMUNICATION. ON MAY 10 RETURNED TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE RADIO SCREEN. ON THE WAY HOME THE RADIO SCREEN FLICKERED. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE BACKUP CAMERA DID NOT WORK. CONTACTED THE GENERAL MANAGER ON MAY 11 AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD GET BACK WITH US THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. WE CALLED MAY 16TH AND THE GM GAVE A LAME EXCUSE, ON MAY 17 WE ARE RETURNING TO THE DEALER TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. WE LIVE 70 MILES FROM THE DEALER. A $28K PURCHASE AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE IT OUT NOR OWN UP TO THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE LOUSY SERVICE AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS. SIGNED DISAPPOINTED IN GM PRODUCTS! *TR |
