This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Equinox. While driving 25 mph in rainy conditions, the rear of the vehicle moved sideways uncontrollably. She took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that the failure was a normal characteristic. In addition, the engine warning indicator consistently illuminates on the instrument panel. The gas caps were replaced three times, but the failure typically resurfaces shortly after the repair. Thirdly, the radio:cd:tape:deck fails sporadically and prevents a music cd from being ejected. Lastly, the air conditioner does not blow out of the side vents, which prevents air from disseminating properly. As of March 31, 2009, the technicians are re-inspecting the vehicle to determine the cause of the failures. The failure and current mileages were 26,000. Updated 04/21/09. Updated 04/21/09.
Since I purchased my 08 Chevy Equinox there has always been some issues with my A/C. I have had it in for service 3 times and still cannot fix the problem. Even with the air set on the coldest setting the air still occasionally blows hot then cold then hot. This continuous constantly while I am driving around the city. It does not do it while driving on the highway because I have figured out the RPM is high. Whenever the RPM drops below around 1800 to 1600 the air begins to have problems. The dealership replaced some parts and recharged the freon in the car twice. I am fed up and need some advice.
