2005 Chevrolet Equinox

BEEN HAVING PROBLEM WITH HEAD GASKET THESE 2005 EQUINOX HEAD GASKETS BEEN BLOWING BECAUSE OF THE 3.4L ENGINE CANT KEEP IT FROM OVER HEATING REPLACED HEAD GASKET AND IT WENT AGAIN CHEVY NEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ITS IN THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP BULLETIN THIS IS BAD FOR THE CONSUMER THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SELL A TRUCK WITH BAD HEAD GASKETS ITS JUST A LEMON. BEEN HAVING OVER HEATING PROBLEMS SINCE I HAD THIS CAR ITS JUST REDICULOUS. IT OVER HEATS WHILE IDLING. CHANGED 2 HEAD GASKETS WATER PUMP THERMOSTAT ALL HOSES ETC TEMPERATURE SENSOR FLUSHED THE VEHICLE 5 TIMES STILL NO HELP . THIS VEHICLE IS ALSO KNOWN FOR HAVING TRAPPED AIR IN THE LINES AS WELL. PLEASE STOP LETTING CHEVY SELL THESE EQUINOX THERE JUST A LEMON.

VEHICLE STALLS AT RANDOM TIMES, WHILE IN MOTION AT 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY OR AT A STOP SIGN IT JUST STALLS. WILL START BACK UP BUT ONLY TO STALL AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS! MULTIPLE ISSUES ON THE INTERNET ON THIS YEAR EQUINOX AND SOME CLAIM THERE IS A RECALL; "# TSB #05539 -- PRODUCT EMISSION RECALL TO REPLACE THE POWERTRAIN/ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (PCM/ECM). THE POWERTRAIN/ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (PCM/ECM) MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED WITH DAMAGED INTERNAL IC CHIPS, WHICH MAY AFFECT THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL AND EGR OUT (NHTSA ID #10017551, APRIL 01 2005)"

I JUST READ THRU SOME OF THESE COMPLAINTS ANS IT SEEM THAT CHEVY IS HAVING THE SANE THING HAPPEN WHEN ITS COMING TO THIS 05 EQUINOX. I JUST GOT CAR ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO AND ITS GOING THRU THE SAME THING. IM BEING TOLD ITS MY GASKETS BUT ITS SHOWING NO SIGNS THAT ITS BLOWN. IM SO FRUSTRATED BECAUSE THE 90 DAYS IS XPIRED AND I CANT RUN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT FROM. AND NOW TO FIND THAT CHEVREOLET IS NOT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGING THAT FACT THAT THIS IS GOING ON WITH A VEHICLE CREATED BY THEM. THIS IS SO UNFAIR TO CONSUMERS WHO SPEND THE MONEY TO GET THE CAR BUT CANT EVEN GET THE PROPER RESPONSE FROM THE COMPANY FOR THIS ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW JUST HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES IT TAKE FOR CHEVEY TO RESPOND TO THIS, I KNOW I COUNTED AT LEAST A HUNDRED...I KNOW WE TAKE CHANGES WHEN BY A USED CAR BUT AT LEAST DO A RECALL ON THIS BECAUSE IT TO MANY PEOPLE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE UNKNOWING WHAT PROBLEMS THEY WILL HAVE AHEAD OF THEM...

I PURCHASED A 2005 CHEVY EQUINOX IN MAY 2015, I HAVE HAD MY NORMAL OR CHANGES, EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS I HAVE TO PUT 5 QUARTS OF OIL IS IN, THE LOW OIL INDICATOR NEVER CAME ON. SO NOW MY ENGINE HAS LOCKED UP AND I HAVE TO GET A NEW ENGINE. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THEY HAD SO MANY ISSUES WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION WITH THE USED CHEVY VEHICLES.
