Car started overheating and was diagnosed as a bad head gasket and repaired. After the head gasket was repaired the Equinox started overheating again and this time it was diagnosed as a cracked cylinder head. The motor was replaced. The replacement motor lasted 3 weeks before it failed as well with the same diagnosis as before, a bad head gasket. I contacted gm. They offered no solutions, offered no help in repairing or replacing the engine. The car is dangerous to drive and they know the engines in the 2005 and 2006 (VIN f) are bad engines suffering from a poor design. They didn't make the engines only for 2 years because they worked so well. Numerous reports about the bad engines with gm's response simply to spend more money on a car that won't last past 100k miles.

Bought in Jan 2009 with 65,000 on it. Summer 09 in a rain storm it looked like someone turned a faucet on in my car the water was coming in on drivers side my left foot looked like in the tub, fixed under warranty. Out of pocket $100, the by end of 09 the real fun began, had engine mounts replaced, knocking in car when car started for first 5 minutes. The by October car was over heating, heat only blew when car was moving, car now had 118137 replaced the ender blower motors, coolant fans and fan motor, called and reported to chevy, then in November 010, it all happened again. This time had to have blend arm door replaced car called chevy nope not a issue per internet its major issue. Replaced at my cost $891. Right before christmas, 2010, gaskets and seals blew car over heated then shut off, had to let it cool down then start up again. Had to replace engine, gaskets and seals. Now 7/12 chevy wants to reimburse for the part but decided to fight me tooth and nail on the reimbursement because I no longer own the car. Traded it in April 2012 could not longer afford it and trans felt like its going to go. Chevy said I will get a partial refund of blend arm door only? wtf the car put me and my children in danger and that's all they want to do but yet fight me? also I reported to chevy all these issues, the bbb, a lawyer at this point, 2 tv network news programs, and all available multimedia.
