(which you have to replace the headlights/tail lights yourself because part stores refuse to do the labor for you because you have to remove the entire headlight to even replace a bulb. this seems to me that chevrolet did that so if you are a woman, like myself, you are forced to take it somewhere and have it replaced.) there are also issues with the brakes and rotors wearing too fast. i have also had issues with the air conditioner. i have had to replace the resistor on the blower motor twice in 2 years. these may not be big problems to gm, but i rely on my car to take me to work and school and the fact that they genuinely don't care has forced me to not want to buy another chevrolet again. seeing as they had to have a government bail out previously to even stay in business, you would think that they would value their customers! *jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 143000 miles.

Chevrolet Equinox 2006 Visibility/wiperChevrolet Equinox 2006 Visibility/wiper Review #10633045 CHEVROLET EQUINOX 2006 car safety problem was reported on Sept 01, 2014.CHEVROLET EQUINOX 2006, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with VISIBILITY/WIPER . failure of the hvac blend door [1] has made defrosting the forward windshield in cold temperatures impossible. this is a safety issue because of the limiting of visibility and in violation of standard 103 [2] from the u.s. department of transportation. gm has admitted a design flaw in the hvac blend door actuator in that a dealer replacement uses an updated hvac blend door actuator which more accurately limits the rotational travel. the failure of the hvac blend door occurs because the original faulty designed hvac blend door actuator travels too far causing structural stress on the blend door which eventually leads to premature failure of the blend door. this results in vent air not passing over the heat core, therefore making defrosting of the windshield not possible in cold conditions. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 118000 miles.
