Consumer Description

I OWN A 2005 CHEVY EQUINOX. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR-BEFORE AND AFTER WARRANTY. MOST RECENTLY, I HAD TO PAY OVER 1600.00 TO HAVE MY HEAD GASKETS REPLACED/REPAIRED. I AM STILL WAITING TO SEE IF DIFFERENT GASKETS ARE CRACKED AND WILL NEED REPAIR. I HAVE HEARD FROM NUMEROUS REPAIRS SHOPS AND ONLINE SOURCES, THAT THE HEAD GASKET PROBLEMS WITH THE CHEVY EQUINOX WERE KNOWN BEFORE BEING PUT OUT FOR SALE. MY CAR OVERHEATED ON THE HIGHWAY AND LOCKED UP. I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. I WAS THANKFULLY ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. THESE ISSUES COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF CHEVY WOULD HAVE FIXED THIS PROBLEM PRIOR TO SELLING. THERE IS NO REASON WHY A FOUR YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD REQUIRE THIS MUCH WORK. *TR
