| On aug. 26th,2012 my 2006 chevy equinox broke down i towed it to the mechanic and found out my fuel pump was cracked and had to be replaced. i paid $750 doll for parts and labor ,2 wks before that happened my car was giving off a fuel smell and wouldn't start unless i pressed the gas pedal that worked until it finally broke down .gm is recalling equinox 2007-09 for fuel injector problems causing to leak gas causing a fuel smell and in danger of the car catching fire because of gas leakage and also damaging the fuel pump my car is a 2006 but has that same problem even after a new fuel pump its still giving me the same problems i think its my fuel injector and gm needs to also recall model yr 2006 i'm afraid i will need a new exp fuel pump again soon or worse my car could catch on fire therefore i'm praying gm does the right thing and include the chevy equinox 2006 in its recall because this is a very dangerous and expensive problem . thank you *tr | |||

| I have a 2006 equinox that i bought used with 91,000 miles on it. only one previous owner with clean car fax. i love the car, but at least once a week it acts like it doesn't want to crank. i sometimes have to push the gas pedal to even get it to crank. i'm assuming this a fuel pressure problem of some sort. also, once cranked the car will sometimes idle itself down from 1 rpm to 0 rpm then back to 1 rpm. there is also a clunking noise coming from back end of car where the fuel pump is. i have also had issues with having the headlights replaced because water gets into the headlights. most of the equinoxes that i see on the road have water in the headlights. this a safety hazard because the headlight bulbs will burst when wet and you have no headlight until you have it fixed. (which you have to replace the headlights/tail lights yourself because part stores refuse to do the labor for you because you have to remove the entire headlight to even replace a bulb.this seems to me that chevrolet did that so if you are a woman, like myself, you are forced to take it somewhere and have it replaced.) there are also issues with the brakes and rotors wearing too fastly.i have also had issues with the air conditoner. i have had to replace the resistor on the blower motor twice in 2 years. these may not be big problems to gm, but i rely on my car to take me to work and school and the fact that they genuinely don't care has forced me to not want to buy another chevrolet again. seeing as they had to have a government bail out previously to even stay in business, you would think that they would value their customers! | |||

| My 2006 equinox initially began having start up issues where the starter would crank and the engine would idle roughly and then die. it would take several attempts to start. then i figured out if i gave it gas when i started it up it would have a better chance of starting. sometimes it worked. then the issue went away for a while and came back with a new issue. the new issue is sometimes the car wouldn't start at all. the starter would click but would not start. it would do this several times and then it would start like nothing was wrong. this happens intermittently. it does not discriminate on location, time of day etc. | |||
