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.
Both of my headlights have leaked water, not moisture but actual water which has rusted the surrounding chrome housing. Also the condensation on the inside of the glass decreases the brightness of the headlights. A recent estimate for repair was $300.00. I don't feel this is a normal wear and tear condition. Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions for a less expensive quick fix?
THE PRICE FOR REPAIR IS TO HIGH MY A/C AND HEAT WENT OUT TOO AND THE LIGHT I HAD TO REPLACE 5 TIME --- YEA I CAN GET A OUTER PART FOR THE LIGHT FOR ABOUT 200.00 EACH IT MAY WORK AND MAY NOT IF THE BULB GO OUT I WILL BE IN THE SAME BOAT
