The timing chain and guides went bad at only 110k miles. And if it was recalled like the 2009 chevy traverse was then I wouldn't have had to fix it. It has the same motor. It is the 3. 6l motor. Because it is the sports model. It was throwing p0008 p0018 p0017 and two transmission codes so I believe the transmission is bad now. It is throwing codes p0752 and p0700.
My car stopped in the middle of the highway due to the computer system and my airbag light has been on since I bought the car.
Takata recall. I see that the 2009 chevy Equinox is not on the schedule to be recalled, however, there are so many with the same airbag problem. It's a scandal that they are able to get away with not recalling. Same problem with the stabillink, traction control and abs lights. It is a problem for all of these vehicles!.
I am filing my complaint due to some re-accruing issues that I continuously have with my truck I just bought in June of 2017. I have problems with the car overheated needle fluctuations and shutting down on me. The air bags does not work for the passenger seat and there are a couple of sensors that are on and constantly stays on when cranking the car and driving. I also have problems when I turn the wheel to the right hearing a rubbing graining noise also hear a trickling noise when pressing the gas to go. I have had my car worked on by a mechanic twice. Had my radiator flushed thermostat replaced and anti-freeze take flushed and still the same issues. My coolan fan causes my battery to go dead and have to get a jump start more than once. This issue happens while driving sitting or even on the highway. I'm taking the car back to the dealer to see if they can figure the issue out.
My 2009 chevy Equinox is slowing down when I reach 4 rpms and will not speed back up until I go back down to 3 rpms no matter how fast or slow I an going once it reaches 4 rpms it slows down. When I shut the car off something is still running under the hold because I can hear it. It was 10 minutes before it finally shut off completely.
The passenger airbag seat sensor is faulty and doesn't turn on the passenger air bag when there is an occupant. This is a violation of fmvss 208.
Water has gotten into the dash. As the weather became warm - the passenger compartment was permiated with mold and mildew. There is still a sloshing sound under the dash.
We have had a problem with the key getting stuck in the ignition for some time now. Some times it takes several minutes of working with it before it will come out. I have taken it back to superior Chevrolet of siloam springs two times and have spent a total of $720. 72 and it's still not fixed. They told me they had something else to try but it would cost an additional $200 to $300 dollars and it still might not be fix. After charging me this much for what should be a simple fix they should make sure it repaired on their own time.
