2007 Chevrolet Equinox

ENGINE OVERHEATING "STATIONARY AND IN MOTION" SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MOST 2006 AND ABOVE. I REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT, THE WATER PUMP, I PERFORMED A RADIATOR FLUSH, REPLACED THE ECT SENSOR, AND STILL THE CAR OVER HEATS. I DID A COMPRESSION TEST AND IT'S FINE, I CHECKED THE HEAD GASKETS AND THEY ARE FINE. THE OIL LOOKS FINE, THE RADIATOR FLUID LOOKS FINE. I WENT THROUGH A CAR WASH AFTER REPLACING THE WATER PUMP, THERMOSTAT, AND ECT SENSOR. THE CAR STILL OVER HEATS, BOTH AT IDLE AND AFTER DRIVING 2 MILES OR 10 MILES. I'VE BEEN TOLD IT'S EITHER AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE, A RADIATOR ISSUE, OR ENGINE ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I CAN NOT KEEP PUTTING MONEY INTO A CAR THAT IS ONLY WORTH $2,500. MANY OTHER PEOPLE I HAVE NOTICED POSTED THE SAME ISSUE OF OVER HEATING AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. IT SHOULD BE A CHEVY RECALL, AND REPAIRED BY THE MANUFACTURER. HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF 1 OTHER COMPLAINT:........ON NOVEMBER 17TH THE VEHICLE STARTED TO TELL ME THAT IT WAS OVERHEATING AND TO TURN A/C OFF. A/C WAS NOT EVEN ON BECAUSE IT WAS COLD AND THE HEAT WAS BLOWING COLD AIR. THE VEHICLE THEN TOLD ME WHILE I WAS TRYING TO GET TO A SAFE LOCATION TO PULL OVER THAT THE ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED AND THE VEHICLE STATED TO CRAWL ALONG THE ROAD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS LOOKED AT WHERE I PULLED OVER THERE WAS MINIMAL OIL IN THE VEHICLE AND IT HAD BLOW COOLANT ALL OVER THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL WELL FROM WHAT LOOKED LIKE THE OVERFLOW TUBE. OIL WAS PUT IN THE VEHICLE SO THAT I COULD DRIVE IT TO A SAFE LOCATION. ON NOVEMBER 18TH I WENT TO START THE VEHICLE TO GO TO WORK AND WITHOUT GOING ANY PLACE BUT SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY IT STARTED TO TELL ME THAT THE ENGINE WAS OVERHEATING AND TO TURN A/C OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE DEALERSHIP THAT I USE WORKED ON IT AND REPLACED THE TEMP CONTROL AND THERMOSTAT AND DID A COMPLETE OIL CHANGE. MANY OTHER EQUINOX OWNERS ARE HAVING SAME ISSUE

WE BOUGHT OUR SON THIS VEHICLE WHEN HE GOT HIS LICENSE BACK IN SEPT 2019. THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR ISN'T WORKING CAUSING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG TO NOT BE SAFELY ENGAGED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL AND REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. ALSO, THERE IS HARDLY ANY HEAT COMING FROM THE BLOWERS. WE HAD IT IN MULTIPLE TIMES BUT NOONE CAN FIGURE IT OUT. WE HAVE REPLACED: HEATER CORE, WATER PUMP, THERMOSTAT, RADIATOR, RESEVOIR. ECT..FLUSHED IT A MILLION TIMES AND HAD THE HEADS PRESSURE CHECKED, NOTHING WORKED. IT GETS VERY LITTLE HEAT WHEN IDLING, AND GIVES "LUKE WARM" HEAT WHEN RPMS INCREASE WHILE DRIVING. LAST WINTER MY SON COULD HARDLY KEEP HIS WINDSHIELD DEFROSTED/DEFOGGED AND ALMOST LOST VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING TO SCHOOL. NOT TO MENTION FREEZING TO DEATH WITH NO ADEQUATE HEAT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

AT A HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES MY CAR DECIDES TO HAVE NO HEAT SO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE TELLS ME IT'S A BLOWN HEAD GASKET 2500 TO FIX I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN 2007 KEPT UP WITH ALL THE MECHANICAL ISSUES OIL CHANGES THE CAR HAS BEEN GOOD OTHER THAN THIS THIS SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM WITH THESE EQUINOXES AS I READ ALL THE REVIEWS

TAMARA RECALL. MY KEY WILL NOT GO INTO THE OFF POSITION ON THE IGNITION TO REMOVE IT I HALF TO WAIT UNTIL I HEAR A CLICKIN NOISE BEFORE IT WILL GO TO OFF AN ABLE TO REMOVE ALSO I WAS DRIVING DOWN HILL AN MY CAR SHUT IT SELF OFF I HAD NO POWER OR COULDN'T STEER MY BRAKES WAS STIFF I GOT IT TO STOP AN MY CAR HAD SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN HILL

I HAVE HAD A 2005 AND A 2007 CHEVROLET EQUINOX BOTH WERE IN ACCIDENTS AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY . THE 2005 WAS A REAR END CRASH THE CAR THAT HIT ME WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. THE SECOND ACCIDENT WAS A FRONTAL CRASH I SWERVED TO MISS HITTING A DOG AND CHILDREN GOING ON THE ROAD. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND HIT A TREE. I HAVE HAD 3 EQUINOX ALL HAVE IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEMS. THE ONE I HAVE NOW HAS MAJOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS.IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NOW FOR 8 WEEKS.
