Vehicle started overheating with a jumped idle, I replaced the lower intake, valve seats, o rings, 3 thermostats. It has been bleed for two days now, at first it started to overheat while driving so I bled the cooling system and tried it again. It drove fantastic didnt overheat at all. I pulled into my parking spot which the car had been running there for over an hour no problem. I thought the problem was fixed now its overheating parked and its just inconsistent and leaving my stranded.

In January 2012 within the first week of buying our 2006 Equinox, we started having ignition problem. We would try to start it and it would just keep cranking until it would finally start. We took it into the dealership of purchase and they tried replacing several parts but this did not fix the problem. We have had it in at least 6 times for the same issue and finally were told unless it just altogether doesn't start they are not able to locate the problem. It is now July 2013, still have the same problem and now having intermittent problems like, cooling fans won't work, window will not go up or down, radio button on steering wheel choosing when it wants to work, gas mileage is terrible and has been from the start. After researching several web pages about complaints we are now finding out that these problems may get worse!!! also we have also found out that this issue is due to the pcm which has been recalled in the 2005 Equinox and several other Chevrolet products but unfortunately not the 2006!!! according to other accounts, the pcm can affect many other components. Hoping Chevrolet will step up and do the right thing. I have always been a chevy fan but at this rate I am starting to lean towards Ford as I hear they back their products! what a shame! the sad part is this is our only vehicle at the moment and this repair is not affordable so if a recall doesn't happen soon I'm not sure what we'll do!.
