Transmission will not shift into third gear without letting off the gas, valve body solenoid problem. Rear wiper motor bad, ignition gets stuck on with key in, have to put gear shifter in and out of gear multiple times to get key out. Electronic stability control off lights comes on after just a few seconds of vehicle being started. Alternator was whining extremely loud, had to replace. Heater blend door broken, cannot have hot air for winter or cold A/C in summer. Sounds like water rushing through dash board when car is started. Very heavy odor of antifreeze inside car when heat is on.

She later noticed that the windshield wipers would not move but she could hear the motor of the windshield wiper running.

The manufacturer was contacted and they offered no assistance. The failure and the current mileage was 50,000. Updated 11/27/12 *cn updated 12/10/2012

My airbag light came on in my vehicle. I didn't think anything of it because all of my onstar diagnostics stated everything was ok. I brought the vehicle in to the dealership to get a dome light and rear wiper motor replaced and to get a state inspection. My vehicle failed inspection due to the failed passenger presence module. Although the part is recalled on other 2007 chevy equinoxes, it has not been recalled on my vehicle. I value the safety of my family, but to charge $975 for a part (labor not included) that was recalled on the same make/model is extremely excessive.

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.
