I was going down road and key fell out while i was driving and the car kept running like the old fashion kind. It just went out of warranty so i had to pay half for new ignition.
I am hearing a whistling noise it started from the rear I thought but it seems to be from the front. It kicks on from a cold start after driving for about 8 minutes when you hit around 25 mph. When you put the brakes on it still stays on. When you slow down it seems to stop but slowly.
This has happend to me twice. I started car and steering dosen't work. If you shut car off and restart it is is okay. This happend twice.
I got a flat the other day and I oppend the hatch and where the tire was had an inch of water.
The drivers door hindge needs to be replaced.
I already replaced the hatch pistons one of them had stopped working.
I have around 68000 miles and most of this occured after warranty except for the clicking noise when trying to start. Could you please tell me what I should do and what the problems could be so I can get them fixed, I called the dealer today and they said there is no reacalls or bullentins.
Please Help
If it's the electric system there is a service bulletin 06-02-32-002C about if has difficulty operating it goes into system thermal error and sets a code to the DTC either C0476 ,C0176 . If this has happened it goes into a fail safe mode so the system doesn't over correct and damage the steering with too much force from the electric motor.
Have it checked for safe operation of the vehicle.
Have the chevy dealer check this TSB ,water is coming in from one of the seams . Probable needs to have new sealant applied to the seam area of compartment.
Also Obama asked Mr Wagner CEO of GM to resign before he reads the Auto sector bail out plans on Monday 30 2009, Mr Wagner did resign from his post as CEO of GM, i guess 13 million a year was too much money to be making when your company is in DEDIT.
I guess showing up in November in front of congress having flown your private jet there and then asking the Government for bail out money wasn't that smart . What's it cost , at least 50 to 60000 dollars to fly round trip, oh ya there is airport landing fees on top..Not to smart maybe that why he got the boot, not spending money wisely is how the President looks at it.
Sounds like the Chevy brand will continue to reach the 100 year mark so the value will rise.
Have you had a message on the driver information display about the steering.. service power steering.
They put a filter in voltage system to correct it. This audio whine increases and decreases with the speed of the vehicle.
Is your an AWD Equinox.
Check for any leaks from the input shaft into the diff and also on the seals on each side of the diff housing where the drive shafts from out from.

There are two types of transfer cases Getrag 760 and NVG 900 both have same amount of synthetic oil in them GM specs. The Getrag has the both plugs on the driver's side of the case. NVG looks to have a bottom drain plug and the fill plug is on the passenger side of case
Man i love the AWD system but it has alot more maintenance issues than the FWD model version.
but no luck, instructions are very vague,thank you for any help
If so, this winter I did it 3 times and no problem with the steering or anything else.
By the way, the Equinox has an electric steering, no power steering in the Equinox.

But do they make tires in that size (235/60/17) ? When you go in the 17's and up sizes it's a bit harder to find than 15's and 16's
The four brands that I mention in my "reply post" do manufacture the requested size.
Since that repair, every time I started the truck (cold start) I ca hear a clinking sound from the engine until it gets warm (the same sound as a muffler cooling off). I called the dealer and he said it was normal and the sound came from the bolts because they were warming up. I told him that it didn't do that when it was new, it's only from the time they worked on it.
It's been 2 months and I drove 2,000 km (1,250 miles) since they replaced my gaskets, oil, coolant and bolts ect... and tonight I was checking under the hood because I'm planning a little trip this weekend and guess what, I noticed that my coolant in my reservoir is 2 inches below the normal "cold" level and the color has gone from orange to a brownish color and the plastic of my reservoir is stained with a kind of residue that sticks on the interior of the reservoir.
What the hell happened?
The dealer changed the head gasket 2 months ago because the coolant was always low. Now it's still going somewhere + it's now changing color from orange to brown and + there's a white milky residue (looks like mayonnaise) sticking on the interior side of the recovery tank that wasn't there before the gasket job.
I also noticed that my temperature gauge rises faster than usual.
What do you think?
Does your temp level gauge read hotter than before or does it run cooler. You can have a sample of your oil checked for coolant in the oil , if it's not brown too dark brown then you probable have an internal problem with a hidden crack in the engines coolant passages bleeding into the oil. Has your oil level gone up at all since the head gasket was replaced.
When the dealer changed the head gasket 2,000 km ago they had to change the oil and coolant also. The oil looks normal, a bit brown but normal for a 2000 km oil. The oil level is right a the full mark on the dipstick.
The week after they had changed the head gasket I called the dealer because I could hear a clicking sound every time I started the truck (cold start) the same clicking sound as a muffler cooling down but the sound came from under the hood.
They said that it was normal, that it was caused by the different torque on the bolts or the bolts were warming up.
I told him that it was pretty strange because it never did that before they worked on it and I had 49,000 km.
They checked everything with a special light to see if the antifreeze was leaking from somewhere. Everything is o.k.
They said that probably there was air bubbles in the system when they replaced the head and valve gasket and they went up in my recovery tank and that's how the antifreeze's level went down. They toped off the coolant to it's full level.
For the color change...they told me that it's probably dirt coming from the system that went in my antifreeze.
Than for the white, milky substance... it's formed by a dirt ring on my plastic recovery tank and with the movement it mixed with the antifreeze and settled on the side of the tank.
They recommended me to do a "cooling system flush and cleaning" in the future but that it was not urgent.
Open the air bleed screw on the water pump tower, slowly pour the new coolant into the surge tank and watch until the coolant begins to seep from the air bleed screw. Then close the screw and continue to fill the cooling system until full, install surge tank cap. Run the engine from idle to 3000 rpm in 30 second intervals until the engine cooling fan comes on then idle for 30 seconds and turn off engine.
Allow the vehicle to cool add coolant to the recovery tank until the level is just above the cold level line . Install surge tank cap. The system should approx 5 liters of coolant.
This method will not over pressurize the cooling system that can happen with a pressure flush method used in most shops. The coolant will be a bright orange and should be tested for the freezing point of at least -25 to -30C.
It's quite easy to change the coolant just takes some time and the proper fluids and will save you money.
does that dound prettygood? I dont know anything anything about them. The wholesale co says Bridgestone makes them .
Is it true that new cars out of the factory put on tires with less ply, and they wear out much quicker ? this has happened on a 2005 chevy silverado with the same tires.
I was told Kouhmo solorus kr21 are good and continential comntract. any sugestions.?
Result...my inner fenders (black plastic) are spotted all around with dry white paint splattered by the tires.
I tried to remove the paint with soap, spot remover, soap pad, gasoline, paint thinner nothing worked. One of those products has made my plastic fade, good thing I tried them on a spot that doesn't show to much.
Can someone suggest me something or has tried something with success to remove paint spots on plastic without damaging it?
