#21 of 1523 EQUINOX ODOR PROBLEM by carmen Jun 30, 2004 (9:16 am)
I contacted my dealer yesterday and told him the odor is still there. He was going to talk to the Service Mgr. and get back to me. I probably going to have to pursue the Lemon Law. Keep me posted on how you make out with your dealer and I will do the same.

I took mine back to the dealer after 2 weeks of owning it..mine was the first Nox they had to repair. After being in the shop for 2 days, they told me the left strut needing replacing. I will get the car back tomorrow..hopefully..other than the steering wheel creaking at slow speeds while turning, I really like the vehicle.

The Chevy Rep finally called back last night and said we were the only ones with the reported odor problem. I told her to check Edmund.com. The Svc Mgr at our dealership is also investigating but we told both to either fix it or we want another vehicle. The Rep. is checking with our Svc Mgr today and will get back to us tonight. Hopefully they can determine what is wrong and take care of it.....it is a sharp vehicle and other than the odor, really like it.

Replying to: outdrsman69 (Jun 30, 2004 5:37 am) Wow, I thought I was the only one with Problems. At 500 miles I started heariing a knocking in the front drivers side and a ticking/clicking from the steering wheel. I took it in for service and found I need a new strut on the driver side and I need a new turn signal/switch... 500 miles.. how sad.. OK, here's the problem since it's such a new vehicle they don't make the switch YET. So I've been told I'll just have to deal with the noise until it's made. NO ETA. needless to say.. I'm not happy.

Replying to: brian4 (Jul 02, 2004 3:01 pm) The strut problem must be widespread. I was supposed to get the part in this past week, of course, it hasnt arrived yet. The dealer is paying for a rental car for me. Too bad Chevy did not discover the strut problem in the testing stage!!!

Took the Nox to the Svc Mgr at our dealer yesterday and after much waiting they are going to put it on a machine on Tuesday for 24 hours to sanitize it......what that means, I'm not sure but we'll try anything at this point. Another Equinox owner came in for struts while I was there and his Nox did not have any odor but he was amazed at how nasty ours smelled. Keep me informed on other Nox stinkers!

Replying to: outdrsman69 (Jun 30, 2004 5:37 am) Well, here's the problem I got now. The struts have been on the Nox since this past tuesday, under a week. Come Saturday, the noise re-appeared, and gradually getting a little worse day by day. Obviously not noticable w/the radio on. But when you drop as much money into a brand new machine, you don't want noises coming from it when it's not supposed to be. I'm hoping to contact a Chevy rep within the next day or 2, and ask him if he has any suggestions. Replies to this message: snowman (Jul 05, 2004 3:07 pm) nancys1 (Jul 06, 2004 2:49 am)

Replying to: outdrsman69 (Jul 05, 2004 6:18 am) The problem is, I think, GM is still using bad design struts.So, they replaced your struts with the same brand, model rather than different desing from different manufacturer.

Replying to: outdrsman69 (Jul 05, 2004 6:18 am) Oh no, I am still waiting on the strut replacement parts to come in, you mean replacing the strut does not fix the creaking noise??? ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#30 of 1523 Equinox Odor Saga by reed Jul 08, 2004 (3:35 pm)
Yesterday we got the Equinox back from the dealer after they had it de-ionized (machine on it for 24 hrs). It still has the odor but "maybe" not quite as bad. The lady from Chevrolet called last night...she said to give it a couple of days to see if there was bacteria in the vehicle, it might need a couple of days to take care of it. NOW, on top of that, there is a noise in the front of the Nox when you turn at a slow speed... sounds like we may have the strut problem as well! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
