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 hate my chevy equinox. Recently when I had to replace the thermostats since it started overheating. It worked for a little while without overheating. Then we broke the system and bought a new over flow tank and replaced it. Now all of a sudden it started over heating again.
We bled the system and waited, then it dumped out a bunch of coolant on the ground. Now we're not sure why all of a sudden it is now again overheating.
