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.
I have been having issue in the heater since April 2016, as I had purchased this car from the dealer in May 2015. Since the purchase I had issues with the coolant for which I had to spend over $700 and now I have an issue with heater and it is estimate to cost me over $1200. It's terrible and I cannot get my heater fixed as it's too much of dollars. I read it over internet that Chevy Equinox car of 2006 model has manufacturing heater issues. I want to get this fixed without spending a penny as I have already had issues with this car. I will never recommend anyone to buy Equinox anymore.
