general problems of the 2005 Chevrolet Equinox

The front sub frame where it bolts to the frame was completely rusted loose on the right side. The left side was barely holding on. This is what holds the motor up and control arms. My mechanics are telling me this is a common problem with chevy Equinoxes. If it's common why aren't there recalls. My car only has 80,000 miles on it and my mechanic told me to scrap it. I'm a fabricator and welder. I welded a new frame under it but others can't do that and mechanics say it's a no fix.

I bought this car used in 2026 I have not had it a year yet and after the first month it has been in for repairs, the wheels sounds like they are coming off at times, it sounds like something is dragging underneath, brakes scrubs even with my placing new one on, sometime it feel like transmission is going out, it pulls hard at time. Even tho this car is old can I still take it in for recall problems. I was not told about any recalls when I bought this car, I paid $3500 and I feel I have almost paid this much in repairs,all of this happens when car is in motion. On highway​, streets and it pops sometime when making turns.

When I 1st bought the car had to change the suspension,head gasket,antifreeze is disappearing can't see where it's going key comes out the ignition VIN#2cndl73fx56020123 purchased on 8/19/15.

Pleae note I haveen complainign about this vehicle with other problems has bad front end parts . This time it wsa diagnosed with front edn oparts that could fall off front gears etc,I had just spent over $1000 omn the front end . This vehicle is a a piece a junk I want chevy to fix at their dealer for free here in mass at 617-2433-6025 my phone number. Another onr of chevy bonehead defects. My address is mr. Cleveland ward is 18 crowell st. Dorchester,MA. 02124.

Pleas enote in order to try to avid an accident in which nardone electric truck,boradsided my driver side on a complete screpedown on my vehicl, and afterward after I left the expressway 93 n in boston ,15 minutes later after I stropped at a conevncince store,my vehicle would not turn left or right only straight. . .

Received vehicle upon my mothers passing. Had 45k on it, garaged and only in town driving. In just over year I have had to replace rear rocker joint, ac unit, front right speaker, front brakes and starter. Now, there is a water noise under hood and truck is starting to rock when at stop light. It is also trying to run hot but no lights, leaks or issue can be found. The back spoiler was loose http before then and leaks in the back. Lift gate hard to open and moulding around front windshield is coming loose. I have 65k on this truck. There is no way this truck should have this many problems. I feel unsafe in this lightly used auto.

My center bearings were replaced about 3yrs ago thought it was a fluke though I had heard from many people that this was an ongoing problem. Clunking began under my car again so I knew what it was. Took it to the mechanic and the center bearings were broke again and the bearings and the back of the driveshaft also. The rear u joint was also broken. This is ridiculous as well as dangerous. I take good care of my car no running over logs in the woods or things of that nature how can this keep happening unless it is a defect or flaw in design. This time with the clunking my anti lock brakes were going off every time I stopped too. Mechanic had a hard time getting the parts to replace apparently everyone needs them but chevy sees no problem with this.

This vehicle is a joke, I already put money down on it and have only had it a little over 2 weeks. 5 days it was actually in my possession but not able to drive it much. The rest of the time it was at the car lots mechanic, it dies driving down the road, it is hard to start and sometimes won't start after 10 tries, it is shifting hard and not when it is necessary( down shifting when speeding up) and it has a horrible noise coming from the front driver side which the mechanic can't figure out. Not to mention that the fuel pump will need to be replaced thanks to the fuel gauge not working properly. . . I feel like I just made a very costly mistake( I still owe 6900 on this vehicle. . . ) chevy should be ashamed of this vehicle and should be fixing these problems.

My remote would not lock the doors. Replaced batteries. It would lock and unlock once. Then nothing. Fuse blown. Replace fuse. Work once, blow fuse. Took to dealer after 3 months of not being able to access my trunk space, you can't open from inside or outside without remote. A wire inside the passenger door had somehow been severed??? how does that happen. $685 to fix. . . . Next huge issue: driving down road. . Front end gone???? struts, links. . . $1100 car won't start . . . Have to give it gas, seen a lot of these with no idea whats wrong. Well dealership says its fuel pressure sending unit, bad injectors. . . Grand total to fix $2000. . In what world should a vehicle that does not even 100k miles on it have so many costly fixes. . . . . . I looked on here to see if anyone else is having the starting issue. . Seems to be a lot of people.

Carrier bearing failed on Chevrolet Equinox. This appears to be a widespread problem with 2005 Equinox. This is a potential safety issue that should be recalled and repaired by gm.

Rearend went out driving with my baby daughter in car, no warning whatsoever! just bought 6 months ago now I have a large loan and no car, will not buy another chevy.

Not sure of exact first date clunking sounds under car took it in and the bearings that hold the drive shaft were broken. Mechanic said never saw something like that on a car without any other damage and that when he checked with local dealer was told that it was happening a lot. I reported to chevy also and yet they said there were no problems.

Car doesn't start on first attempt. It tries, then even after I release the key it continues to start, like its stuck, I have to pump the gas to get it to start, and it acts flooded. Abs and traction control lights on. When I press on the brakes it feels stuck at the top and grinds and pulsates even though my brakes are good. Ive had my speed sensors replaced twice , problem still ongoing. I have to push with all my weight for the brakes to "break through" what ever its stuck on and work, then they lock up. That's when the abs/traction control lights come on, then I know the abs is not trying to work and my brakes will stop me. Ive almost crashed into things too many times.

The carrier bearing is faulty on 2005 Equinoxes. Our mechanic told us this is a huge problem because it could cause the car to flip over. The major issue is that to repair the carrier bearing, they have to remove and replace the drive shaft. This has to be sent to Chevrolet, and since it can only be done by them, they have a strong arm on the price. ($1200) it is evident that this is a manufacturing defect because when I began to google 'drive shaft chevy', it gave me 2005 Equinox as a suggestion. The year was specific in the problem.

Driving down street cut off by semi ran into flashing sign with nowhere else to go. Over half passenger front bumper was crushed radiator smashed, whole front passenger quarter smashed. Car was undriveable but air bags did not go off.

When going over bumps or turning wheel a popping noise is heard from the passeneger front wheel. Took to dealer and was told that gm currently has no fix for the problem. Problem steadly getting worse.
