2008 Chevrolet Equinox

WHILE IDLING HEARING VERY LOUD CLICKING NOISE FROM PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. OPENED THE HOOD AND FOUND MY #1 SPARK PLUG JUTTING IN AND OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD. ALSO SMELL BURNING RUBBER/GAS SMELL. VERY TIRED OF THIS VEHICLE AND MANUFACTURE'S UNWILLINGNESS TO SAY THERE IS MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH IT. THIS IS THE 5TH ISSUE I HAVE HAD WITH THE VEHICLE!!!!!!!! *TR

THE DRIVER'S DOOR OF MY 2008 EQUINOX HAS STARTED NOT LOCKING OR UNLOCKING WITH THE REMOTE. THE WINDOW WILL NOT GO DOWN, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT COME ON OR GO OFF WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED OR CLOSED, & THE RADIO WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED. I HAVE ALSO CHANGED HEADLIGHTS 3 TIMES IN THE 3 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. NOW THE TAGS LIGHTS ARE BURNT OUT ALSO. SEEMS LIKE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM TO ME. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE BACK DOOR WILL SOMETIMES UNLOCK WITH THE KIOSK AND SOMETIMES I HAVE TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR LOCK. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A YEAR. NOW MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WILL SOMETIMES ROLL DOWN AFTER SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO ROLL IT DOWN. OTHER TIMES IT WILL NOT ROLL DOWN. HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS WITH THEIR 2008 EQUINOX? *TR

THE CAR WAS JERKING INTO GEAR, ESPECIALLY WHILE PUTTING IT INTO REVERSE. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR THE NEXT MORNING AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE SHOP. I HAD TO GET THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 43,000 MILES. I HAVE REPLACED THE HEADLIGHTS TWICE AND HIT THE HOOD THIS LAST TIME AND IT CAME ON. THE MECHANIC SAID IT'S NOT SEALED PROPERLY. I HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS AFTER A THUNDERSTORM. THE MECHANIC SAID THE CAR IS NOT PROPERLY SEALED AND MOISTURE IS TRAPPED INSIDE THE LIGHTS. THE COST TO REPLACE AN $11 BULB WAS $24 IN LABOR BECAUSE ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET TO THE HEADLIGHT. THE BRAKE LIGHTS COST $$54 IN LABOR BECAUSE YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO DISASSEMBLE THE ENTIRE BUMPER. *TR

I PURCHASED MY CHEVROLET EQUINOX BRAND NEW IN 2008 AND CURRENTLY WE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FOLLOWING: 1- DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW- WILL ONLY ROLL DOWN AND/OR UP INTERMITTENTLY. OCCASIONALLY IT WILL ROLL BACK UP IF THE INTERIOR PANEL IS HIT SEVERAL TIMES. 2- DOOR LOCKS/ALARM- THE ALARM WILL SET BUT THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WITH THE KEY FOB. WHEN USING THE POWER LOCKS INSIDE THE CAR, THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IS THE ONLY DOOR THAT WILL CONSISTENTLY LOCK. THE BACK DOOR LOCKS WILL GET STUCK HALF WAY AND WON'T LOCK OR UNLOCK EXCEPT MANUALLY. 3- STABILITRAC- THE STABILITRAC WILL DISABLE RANDOMLY. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IN DRY CONDITIONS OR WET CONDITIONS, ON WARM AND COLD DAYS AND ALSO WHEN THE CAR IS BEING STARTED IN THE DRIVEWAY. 4- AIRBAGS- THE "SERVICE AIRBAGS" LIGHT WILL COME ON AND GO OFF FOR NO REASON. IT WILL COME ON ONE DAY AND BE ON FOR A WEEK AND THEN GO OFF FOR A MONTH OR TWO AND THEN COME BACK ON AGAIN. 5- DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT COVER HOLDS A LOT OF MOISTURE 6- CHECK TIRE PRESSURE COMES ON QUITE A BIT FOR NO REASON. ALL TIRE PRESSURES ARE DOUBLE CHECKED AND ARE AT THE PERFECT PRESSURE RECOMMENDED BY GM. *TR
