#8 of 12 Re: Head Gasket replaced on 05 Nox [landy2] by laserblue Aug 07, 2009 (3:51 am)
Replying to: landy2 (Aug 06, 2009 6:40 am) Mine is also a 2005 FWD LT   I bought it new so I'm the only owner and driver and very cautious.   The head gasket blew and had to be changed at 29,000 miles last April. The warranty was expired because the 3 years was over. Called G.M. since it was ridiculous to have to change a head gasket at such a low millage, they told politely to shut up and to pay my repairs.   Now my Nox has 33,000 miles. We own a daycare and I work at home, take my truck for errands around the city and once a month I go for a visit to my daughter 250 miles (round trip) highway driving that's why I have a so low mileage.

Replying to: clebo1 (Aug 12, 2009 11:05 am) Please read my post on line,First File a formal complaint with the National transportation safety board to have this vehicle removed from the road so no one else will buy such a Lemon Vehicle. Also File a formal complaint with the FTC. Chevy/GM knew about these defective head gaskets when these vehicles were built and knew they only had a 3-5 year vehicle life,my Oldsmobile which I had for 12 years have no head gasket leakage with 129,000 miles on it. My vehicle problems started with only 33,000 miles. Anyone out there 2005-2009 Chevy Equinox are prone to many problems like this one.File you complaint promptly.

Replying to: clebo1 (Jul 09, 2009 11:55 am) This is not common,stay away from this vehicle,it's has difficult mechanical problems. Once you change a part or two. This is the sound of air bubbles in the coolant lines. Mine Equinox was in the shop for 3 days after the thermostat was changed and I got a flush and fill. The dealer tried to figure this out but eventually a radiator shop got the bubbles out of the air lines..This is start of a problem which later occur with your head gasket. Please Dump Chevy/GM and this vehicle.I Never thought Chevy would some day be at the bottom of the auto dependability list.

Hey guys, one other thing with this fluid thing. In 06 or 07 there was a little known issues with the RED coolant that GM unsed in the NOX. The coolant was actually eating all the rubber in the system. You can tell by the burnt black look and a foul odor. Any way, my NOX has 72000 on ir and has made a to and from trip from AZ to IL with little problems, till last friday. I could smell that burnt smell again, looked under the hood nothing, looked in the passenger area nothing, drove it home and to work the next day. Parked it Saturday night, and it sat until Monday afternoon. That's when I saw the discolored floor mats and moist feel to the carpet. Turns out the heater core popped in the dash board. Thank god for extended warranties. Gonna cost them 2400 this time.
