Sometimes the disc wouldn't go in or if they went in they didn't play and a couple of time, once they were in they wouldn't eject. Also one of my friend that owns a Equinox had problems with his radio....C.D. always being stucked in the player, wouldn't eject.

You pay for a new car, the replacement parts are on warranty and they installed 4 rebuilt radios. Go figure! By the way I see it G.M. are going to start building "Used Cars" now. (well they install used parts on a warranted vehicle) might as well build them with used parts.

Hi I recently purchased a 2008 equinox, and now i'm reading that many owners experience problems with the head gaskets. Most of the ones i've read pertain to the 2005 models and my question is if its the model or the fact that they are 4-5 years old. I love the truck and really hope these are first year aches.. The 3.4 has been around for a while you would think they already perfected it. No? I really wanted to 2010 but I needed now (family growing) and dealers want to get them off their lots for the 2010. over 6k off msrp... Please help, I need to know what i need to do in order to avoid the hg issue.

Replying to: wifes07aveo (Jun 26, 2009 6:48 pm) I drive a 2005 Equinox, bought it new and at 30 K I had a blown head gasket . I take care of my vehicles like you wouldn't believe, I could even say "I pamper them". I couldn't believe that this happened again. Before the Equinox I own a 99 Venture bought it new also (another 3.4 L engine) and at 36 K guess what.... a blown head gasket. Coincidence? If I'd bet the hell out of them I'd say it's my fault, but no, I'm a conservative driver not a lead foot, I drive my vehicle like it should be driven, follow the speed limits and look what happened twice. I noticed the 07 Aveo in your name...Do you own a Aveo?

Replying to: wifes07aveo (Jun 26, 2009 6:48 pm) As far as the 3.4L engine, I had an Olds with the 3.4L engine and put 180,000 miles on it with no problems at all - my brother still drives it. There is always a chance you'll get a defect, and the poor souls that get burnt like to tell the world about it, but there are 10s of thousands of Noxs out there without makor issues. If you already have the car, follow the owner's manual maintenance requirements and take care of it and it should do you fine - with that 1% chance there is a defect. |
