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.

Back in October of 2012 I started my car after not using it for a couple days. The car started fine but then I noticed I had no gas (my initial thought was someone had siphoned my gas). I looked at the other gauges on the dashboard and realized none of them were working either. Also, when I pushed on the gas pedal, I'm talking floored it, my car barely went 10 mph. I restarted it, and the same thing happened again. I parked it for another couple days and the next time I got in it started right up, and would go over 10 mph but still without the dashboard working.
