There is a strange sound of water sloshing under the dashboard. There is moisture build up in my headlights which have been replaced. My brake light go out several times a year. The most recent occurrence was just after my annual inspection - the driver side brake light was replaced, not two weeks later someone pulled up next to me while stopped at a light to tell me all my lights were out. The beginning of september 2016 I had an oil change and during the inspection the tech told me my driver side brake light was out and that the light at the top did not go on right away and flickered when it did. I have reached out to gm about a solution to the light issue - I have to take my truck in to be serviced at a gm dealership, it is going tomorrow sept 29th to bryner chevrolet in jenkintown, pa.
I was coming home and my head lights go out completely out no fuse is out not sure what is wrong . I am disable and I need to know how to fix this . Need some answers . Seems like a on going problem from the complaints I read . Thank you
Both headlights contain moisture due to faulty seals. Both headlights need replacing on a minimum of twice a year. Additionally, break and/or tail lights seem to fail at least twice a year as well.
Bad wiring harness.
Over a year and a half ago I had the engine light come on in my 2008 equinox. Took it into the chevy dealer and the diagnostic tool said timing chain/engine position. Here I am today, did not do the $1,600 recommended repair and the car is still driving fine and no issues. The engine light has been reset multiple times only to keep coming back. I also have both headlights filled with moisture and it affects the brightness of the lights at night. Finally, I have had multiple times when the stabilitrac light comes on and then by day end it will be off.
I had to start replacing head lights due to moisture in my head lights. This is a manufacturing problem. I have mention this to chevy several times when we had the car service. The response was this is normal. This is not normal. They wanted me to pay half of the cost. I refused. They said that because it's not under warranty. I pray one night that I'm not driving and get into a accident due to light failure. This should be recall to prevent accidents and added expense due to chevy negligence. I have own many cars and never had moisture in my head lights. I would like this to be corrected by chev. I'm not able to provide dates from last year, when I brought it up to the chevy dealership. They would have that information when the car got service .chevy equinox 2008.
