2005 Chevrolet Equinox lights complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Turn signal light switch went out and causes the bright lights to stay on.
Condensation in headlamp assembly, bad seal around headlamp. Car is no longer under warranty dealer and manufacturer no longer required to fix. A car that is 3 years old should not have a seal go bad leading to a buildup of water inside the headlamp assembly. I felt it was a defective part and gm should fix it, they feel otherwise sitting normal wear and tear, I disagree, hence the complaint.
The back floorboard of my car has been noticably wet for a few months. My car is out of warranty so I began researching online to see what might be the problem. The seals around the doors were fine. I did find 3" of water laying in my spare tire compartment. There is no drain hole for the water to be removed. The water is coming in from the tail lights. The dealership I purchased the equinox from simply laughed at the problem and said it would cost over $200 to replace just the tail light. The smell inside of the vehicle is horrible. It is obviously rusting the body and causing mold and mildew inside the vehicle.
Dt: water was leaking into cab of vehicle and into trunk. Water leak iwas in front dome light, and it leaked twice. The middle dome light leaked once, and the trunk has had a big bucket of water removed from it. Dealer tried to fix leak, but it still leaks. Caller was told not to park under trees. Manufacturer said they would call dealer, and told caller to keep sun ,roof closed and that there was debris in sun roof. Caller stated she was concerned about water in the electrical system. And that more damage can be caused.
Since we purchased this vehicle at nights on two lane highways we are continually flashed with brights, indicating our brights are turned on but they were not. We took the vehicle into the dealership to have the lights adjusted and were told they are not adjustable.
