2007 Chevrolet Equinox visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 24 of 24, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Heater is blowing cold air only. Unable to defrost front windshield. This is very hazardous, as my winter driving visibility is limited. Suspect air blender door failure. This problem was addressed by tsb 11135 (may 30, 2012); however it only applies to 2006 chevy equinox. My car is a 2007 chevy equinox. I spoke with gm and they confirmed the tsb was only for the 2006 model year. My research leads me to believe that the 2007 model year should also be included. My heater parts might be from late model 2006.
On this day april 8, 13 while driving on the freeway all of a sudden the sunroof of my 2007 equinox ls flew off.

The heater blower stopped working. After investigating problem it appears to be a manufacturers defect with the plastic transfer door. Blows cold air all the time. Winter is approaching and this is a huge safety issue.
Have had my 2007 equinox since 2009 with a few problems. Stabilitrac light coming on....A/C not turning on....window washer fluid not spraying. But today, out of nowhere, a gas smell. No visible leak, just the smell. After searching on line and seeing numerous complaints about the same problem, I wonder, do I try and find out the problem through a mechanic and probably spend a fortune or wait to see if a gm realizes there is a problem and wait for a recall.
Leakage in vehicle rear spare tire well. Transferred onto rear passenger floor/carpet. All windows foggy from inside and must keep defogger on at all times (even in heat) to keep windows clear for visibility. Mold and mildew from water causing illness in family.
A started to smell antifreeze inside the car. Checked coolant level and it was good. Last night started the car in 40 degree weather, and the windows in the whole car would not defog. No visibility to drive. This is a major safety issue. Heater core and/or broken air blend door and actuator problem.
At 57,000 miles the windshield wipers stopped working on my 2007 equinox right in the middle of a rain storm. I have been told gm is aware of the problem but no recall. This is an expensive repair. I would like some assistance from gm on the repair.
When weather turns colder than approximately 50 degrees, windows become foggy. Defroster set at highest fan setting will not clear fog from windows. Constant musty smell in vehicle, particularly when using air conditioning or defroster. Had taken vehicle to dealership to remedy approx 2 inches of standing water in spare tire wheel well and was told cause was a "pine needle stuck in the drainage hole of the rear taillight housing"???? I believe that there is a serious problem with water leakage in this vehicle. Have researched and found a tsb pertaining to diagnosing water leakage. Took vehicle to dealership to address issue of excessive fogging, and was told they could not duplicate the problem. I find this ridiculous, as I experience the issue daily when temperatures drop below 50 degrees. This is a safety issue, as I constantly have to roll down all four windows before making any turns or changing lanes. When temperatures dropped to the 20's, fogging turned to a thin layer of frost covering all windows. Fogging takes place on windshield, all four passenger windows, and sidelight windows. This is a serious safety hazard and needs to be addressed. Suspect issue with a seal or breach of frame, etc. Water has gotten into air conditioning/defrost system and is causing a mold problem. Please address. Multiple complaints similar in nature found on your website and also via internet search engines.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet equinox. When the temperature outside reaches between 30-35 degrees, the air conditioning unit does not defog the windshield. The feature only works in 40 degree weather. The dealer and manufacturer stated that it was the specifications of the vehicle; therefore, they could not assist. The failure mileage was 30,800.
