I have had problems with my brakes grinding not wanting to stop and took to a shop said my brakes were like brand new but yet it doesn't want to stop makes grinding noises. I replaced the starter in my car four times and am still having the same problems sticks when starting or doesn't want to work at all and this was in a two month period. My front drivers seatbelt would not release this has happened several times in the last couple weeks. I have also had problems with bearings had to have them replaced. Also with the steering when driving it has a mind of its own when I change lanes wants to keep going toward the ditch.why isn't any of this being addressed by chevrolet I bought this car because of no recalls but apparently chevy doesn't want to fix these issues and it could kill someone !! Also have problems when it rains also it doesn't do well at all in rain at all and I have brand new tires on my vehicle.

Defective middle seat belt on 2006 chevy equinox. I folded down the seat to put something large in the back. When I tried to put the seat back up, the seat belt will not retract. I tried everything I could to loosen the seat belt but to no avail it won't budge. I took it to the chevy dealer that I bought the car from and he said all he could do is cut the seat belt and order me a new seat belt retractor. He said he would call me with an estimate to replace. 3 days pass and no calls from dealer so I called him and he finally looked it up. He said it would cost me 375.00 to repair this seat belt. My car has never been in an accident and I see no reason for this seat belt to malfunction. The cost to replace seems very excessive and I can't seem to get any answers from the dealer other than "it happens". Oh, and of course my car is about 1000 miles out of the 60 thousand/ 5 year warranty.

My seatbelt broke. I drove across town and everything was fine. When I went to unhook my seatbelt and get out the belt recoil didn't pull the belt back in, rather it was just sluggish and jerky. There was no accident, the seat belt just jammed up and stopped working. I called chevrolet to check for any recalls of this nature. They said there wasn't and then advised me to have a gm service center look at it. The gm mechanic (lupient bloomington) estimated the repair at about $475. After calling chevrolet to ask for more information about why a seat belt couldn't last 4 years (2006 chevy equinox), they simply replied that my vehicle was past warranty. Finally, lupient tells me that a newly installed seat belt would be warranted for only 1 year.

I had to pay $700 to have a door in my heater replaced because my warranty had ran out this problem is happening a lot and now they are placing metal doors in the heater instead of plastic so why hasn't this been recalled? I think I should be refunded my money since they figured out it is a malfunction of theirs. My seat belt also got stuck where my child's car seat sits so I had to get a new one put in. My interior lights also have a short in them.

Four car pileup on hwy 41 nb. We were veh.#3 and hit forward and were hit from behind. Our seat belts did not restrain us and the air bags did not deploy. My husband , ernst, flew into the dashboard and I slammed into the steering wheel.
