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.
This is the first tim ein history that I have heard of such a problem with a vehicle. I purcahsed the vehicle used at about 56,000 miles and I'm wondering if water damage to this vehicle would cause such a problem??? It seems to be an odd problem! The handle on the chevy where the blankers and headlights go is loose and the switch appeard to be dry rotten! That sounds lvery sratnge, has this ever happend??/I'd like to have this vehicle repair report investigated, it's an abnoraml problem for sure!
