Coolant Leaking Problems of Chevrolet Equinox

Car overheats and coolant leaks out of no where. Head gasket blows have been reported multiple times on this vehicle. Not safe to drive especially when engine light starts blinking and car shakes like crazy driving down the highway.

Light came on in car stating: engine hot/compressor off and temp gage dropped to bottom. I took to dealership and was informed me that I had leaking head gaskets into coolant. Heads to machine shop to check and pressure test. $2262. 00.

Check engine light came on at 59,900 miles. Took it in to firestone they ran a diagnostic on it and said that the spark plugs / witing were bad. Had them replaced for at a cost of $400. A week later check engine light came back on and car overheated. Took it in to firestone again. This time they said the head gaskets were blown and the #1 cylinder was leaking. Repair estimate $1500 to replace the gaskets, plus an additional $1000 if the head is cracked. Have done much research and found this to be a common problem among gm vehicles that require the dex-cool coolant. Found a class action lawsuit in CA and mo but that only covered up to 2003 models. Obviously gm knows this to be an issue, so I have to wonder why are they allowed to continue selling defective products?.

I have a 2005 Equinox. It started losing power, overheated then check engine light came on. Brought it to my mechanic within one mile of incident he told me I had a blown head gasket or cracked block. Code p1258-engine overheating. Lost coolant, though there was no leak underneath.

I have a 2005 Equinox. It started overheating and losing coolant, though there was no leak underneath. Brought it to my mechanic who told me I had a blown head gasket. I emailed chevy but because its not at a dealership refuse to help any with the problem. I don't understand how something so major can break on a 3 year old vehicle.
