I have owned a 2006 chevy Equinox since 2008. We recently noticed a swooshing fluid noise coming from the dash. When the car idles the temp light gauge comes on and the needle goes to hot. Took it to bill jacobs Chevrolet in joliet illinois today and the advised it has a leaky head gasket with a minimum cost to repair of $1500. After researching this on the internet, there have been numerous complaints from consumers with the same exact problem directed to gm and they have done nothing. Many mechanics have said it is a design flaw and gm should be doing a recall.
