My defrost doesn't work nor does my heat and every time I put gas in the truck it doesn't want to start up right away. It's dangerous to drive and I can't see out my windows I live in wisconsin. I've had my bend door and actuator fixed twice even had all my fluids drained and refilled. It doesn't heat up the truck at all even without defrost on I still get cold air no matter the setting and service air bag has been popping up since ive purchased the vehicle.
When I put my Equinox in gear and go, you hear like a water washing in the dash. My windshield and drives windows fog up while I have my heat, or defrost on driving.
Electrical - my college age daughter drives the Equinox - the locks do not lock unless she physically goes around and locks all of the doors. This is a severe safety issue - especially at night - not safe when she is working and alone and having to lock and unlock all doors - also sometimes a manual unlock will set off the car alarm!!! and she has to jump in and put key in ignition to get it to stop. So worried. Had Chevrolet look at it and they say all 4 door actuators have to be fixed for a cost of over 1200. 00. College kids cannot afford that and it shouldn't happen anyway. Need immediate help with this. Visibility/wiper - windshield fluid leaking into floor on driver side when wiper fluid filled. Chevrolet said cost over 500. 00 to replace fluid bottle??? college kids cannot afford this and it shouldn't be happening anyway. Safety hazard with visibility concerns since bottle empty at all times.
Got in car to go to work upon cranking the vehicle the rear window exploded.
