CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2006 Equinox is plagued by a heating problem, as in the heater only blows cold air.
The reported cause of this problem is a small door, known as the air temperature blend door, which allows air to flow past the heater core. This door has a plastic connecting shaft to an electric motor and the shaft is prone to breaking after a few years. The problem has a typical repair cost of over $800.
The 2006 Equinox also has a number of reported problems ranging from the key getting stuck in the ignition, to failing speed sensors, and trouble starting the engine. All in all, this car sounds like one worth avoiding.
The AC Keeps shutting on and off after just a couple of seconds, especially on long highway trips, dealer cant figure it out, anybody having the same problem. Also as soon as the AC is turned on the cooling fans on the engine immediatly start roaring even if the engine is stone cold
