| I have had numerous problems with my 2005 awd chevy equinox, including the head gaskets blowing, losing acceleration on the 270/highway, ongoing acceleration problems, and other problems which still continue. i have begged for chevy to help get the car fully repaired and the customer service representatives just keep telling me to bring it into the dealer. i've tried two dealers and returned to the purchasing dealer who will only make repairs if they can pull a code - they report i am having problems with my spark plug wires - first they reattached it, and then replaced one but car still doesn't drive as it did before head gaskets blew. please, please help me - i've had my car in the shop 8 times in 4 months and the dealer and chevy will not provide me with an extended warranty - car warranty ends in 6 months or help repair properly. i am scared to drive this car and don't know what to do as they don't take my concerns seriously as the only way they diagnose is by pulling codes. *tr | |||

| I am experiencing an extremely strong mildew smell inside my equinox. it is so strong people comment outside the car. the smell also penetrates clothing so that others notice the smell. people will not ride in my car. i have had it to the dealer twice. both times the odor improves slightly (they depdorize the hvac) but still others comment. i am concerned about driving my 3 year old b/c of the smell. we have found no visible wetness or mold. the rubber around two windows was loose but the dealer did not find water inside the door. the smell does not seem to be coming from the vents but mores so just from the car. *nm | |||
