2006 Chevrolet Equinox

TAKATA RECALL RECENTLY MY 2006 CHEVROLET EQUINOX LS HAS STOPPED HEATING UP MY VEHICLE. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE ARTICLES OF OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS DUE TO THE HEATER BLEND DOOR BEING BROKEN. TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED IS AROUND 1,000 DOLLARS. THAT IS RIDICULOUS, AFTER KNOWING THAT MORE THAN SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN AN RECALL SENT OUT. I WOULD LIKE GM TO ISSUE A RECALL SO MANY PEOPLE ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND WITH NO HEAT!!!! THIS PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE DUE TO THE VEHICLE NOT HAVING A DEFROST

I AM SUBMITTING INFORMATION TO REPORT A SAFETY COMPLAIN IN REGARDS TO A 2006 CHEVY EQUINOX. I HAVE HAD BRAKES AND BRAKE PEDAL ISSUES FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW IN BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. THE ISSUES OCCUR AT ATTEMPTING TO STOP AT STOP SIGNS AND STOP LIGHTS. THIS IS THE FIRST OF ANY MAJOR ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. MY ISSUES ARE BREAK RESISTANCE AND VIBRATIONS. ALONG WITH GETTING MY BRAKES AND ROTORS FIXED AND/OR CHANGED EARLIER IN THE YEAR, I STARTED FEELING BRAKE VIBRATIONS INITIALLY. AFTER GETTING THE ROTORS CHECKED, IT HAPPENED SOON AFTER AND "GRADUATED" TOWARDS A RESISTANCE WHERE I WAS UNABLE TO STOP OR SLOW DOWN UNLESS I PUMPED MY BREAKS REPEATEDLY TO RELEASE THE PEDAL LOCKING. I RECENTLY GOT MY LEFT FRONT SPEED SENSOR AND HUB ASSEMBLY REPLACED IN HOPES IT WOULD FIX THE ISSUE. 3-4 WEEKS LATER, THE RESISTANCES HAS SEEM TO GOT A LOT STRONGER/BIGGER. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME SEVERAL ACCIDENTS AT THE STOP LIGHT AND I AM NOW TRYING TO SAVE TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED AS I WAS QUOTED ABOUT $2K INITIALLY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO ANY VEHICLE AND EQUINOX THAT HAS THIS ISSUE. I HAVE SAVED MYSELF FROM SEVERAL ACCIDENTS WITH QUICK AWARENESS AND ACTION AND BUT I AM NOT SURE HOW LUCKY OTHERS HAVE BEEN. THE RESISTANCE IN THE BREAKS AND VIBRATION IS VERY NOTICEABLE AND CONTINUOUSLY HAPPENS UNTIL THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS UP ON THE DASH BOARD INDICATING THEY ARE DEACTIVATED/DISABLED. THIS IS WHEN BRAKING BECOMES MUCH EASIER WITH LITTLE TO NO RESISTANCE AND VIBRATING. BETWEEN THE SPEED SENSOR, HUB ASSEMBLY, I HAVE SPENT JUST OVER $1K IN EXPENSES AND THIS WILL CONTINUE TO RISE WITH THE NEXT REPAIR OF WIRE HARNESS AND/OR REPLACEMENT OF ABS SYSTEM IN HOPES IT CORRECTS THE ISSUE. PLEASE CONSIDER MY COMPLAINT IN HOPES OF RECALL TO PREVENT FURTHER ISSUES AND POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS TO INNOCENT PEOPLE.

I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND THE WHEEL LOCKED UP ON ME. I HAD AN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TIME GETTING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT. I HAD SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS ON AT ONE TIME AND THE GAS LEVEL IN THE CAR WAS NOT REGISTERING. I WAS TWO BLOCKS AWAY FROM MY HOUSE AT THE STORE SO I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME SAFE TO PARK MY CAR. THIS SAME INCIDENT HAPPENED TO ME A WEEK PRIOR TO THE DATE ON THE REPORT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I PARKED THE CAR AND IT WAS FINE THE NEXT DAY. THIS TIME AROUND, WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE CAR THE NEXT DAY, I NOTICED THAT ALL THE SIGNAL LIGHTS WENT OFF, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS STILL NOT FUNCTIONAL.

VEHICLE STARTED OVERHEATING WITH A JUMPED IDLE, I REPLACED THE LOWER INTAKE, VALVE SEATS, O RINGS, 3 THERMOSTATS. IT HAS BEEN BLEED FOR TWO DAYS NOW, AT FIRST IT STARTED TO OVERHEAT WHILE DRIVING SO I BLED THE COOLING SYSTEM AND TRIED IT AGAIN. IT DROVE FANTASTIC DIDNT OVERHEAT AT ALL. I PULLED INTO MY PARKING SPOT WHICH THE CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING THERE FOR OVER AN HOUR NO PROBLEM. I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED NOW ITS OVERHEATING PARKED AND ITS JUST INCONSISTENT AND LEAVING MY STRANDED
