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.

Went to leave for work and car went into engine loss mode and the transmission slammed into gears. Wasn't going to drive it to work like that, so i had to find a ride to work the next two days until it was found the issue was occurring due to a backed up sunroof drain that was letting water into my car and wetting and corroding the main plug of the wire harness under the drivers floor carpet.
