Overall it is a great vehicle and I am completely satisfied
I've taken it to the dealer, but they claim they couln't find anything wrong.
Thanks...
Thanks,

This poster (packer3) was taking cheap shoots at laserblue that no one was willing to converse him. A type of bulling comment not necessary so all i did was take him to task on his advise to other board members. Yes i should have corrected his advise to Malibu (06)man . I mentioned in other posts that I would never purchased a new model vehicle in the first year of production , general too many problems. This guy sounds a little bit pissed off about his NOX experience but then still buys an 08 Torrent, sister version.
They were understanding, listened to everything, gave me a case number and eventually conference called in the service department at a different dealer and helped me make an appointment to get everything looked at again.
They know they can't solve the engine stumble or the guages not working issue until they get a 'code' but they want to see the rear hatch light issue and the seatbelt issue.
Oh yea, here's the list of issues on the Jun '06 built Nox with 3000miles:
Insturment cluster not working, no lights and no gauges.
Engine studder / stumble when backing out of driving.
Rear seatbelts locking and ratching up and not letting go.
Dash buckeling. Part on order.
AC blowing hot.
Lights not coming on when rear hatch opened.
Did you ever find out what the issue was?
Get proof anyway that you can. You said it happened 3 times but...you only took it in once? I did the same thing. That means it only happened once. Wait...the dealer can't duplicate it and there was no code right? Then it has never happened.
i will never buy gm again. i love my pilot....good riddens to the nox! :lemon:
I, too, contacted a lawyer. Once the dealership saw all the paper work from him, they were willing to work with me. They paid my "piece of Junk" off and I was able to get into a new 2006 Jeep Liberty for what I had paid for the 2005 Nox. It was a huge savings and I am very pleased. So far, I love the Jeep but I am done with the dealership.
Good luck on your Honda and I agree--good riddance to the nox!link title
This includes the 2006 Liberty :lemon:

Also; Jeep Liberty's with the 42RLE automatic transmission, may not hold the PARK position, if this occurs and the parking brake is not applied, the vehicle may roll away and cause a crash without warning.
Honda Pilot Recalls:
Some fuel tanks were improperly manufactured. In a crash the fuel tank could be damaged and leak fuel which could result in a fire.
The steering column may be incorrectly assembled on some Pilots, which could result in a loss of steering control.
Some Pilot owner's rear spoiler on their Pilots warp and popped loose. This is a common problem that has been going on for several model years.
Owners of 2006 Pilots are experiencing vibration problems in the drivetrain or drive shafts.
The rattle in my Nox doesn't seem to be so bad now.
I am going to have the dealer look at the next oil change but I figured you all might have some insight ahead of time.
Thanks.

Overview
Electric power assisted steering (EPS) is designed to use an electric motor to provide directional control to the driver of a vehicle. Most EPS systems have variable assist, which allows for more assistance as the speed of a vehicle decreases and less assistance from the system during high-speed situations. This functionality requires a delicate balance of power and control that has only been available to manufacturers in recent years. The EPS system is replacing the hydraulic steering system and is destined to soon become mainstream among automotive manufacturers.
my nox had a rattle they couldn't fix after 4 times and i was getting anywhere from 12.6-14.9 mpg in town. YUK! :mad:
We get about the 19mpg Average on our Nox.
The Pilot also cost about $10,000 more than the Equinox.
Then the Honda Pilot Recalls:
On certain earlier vehicles, a timing belt tensioner pulley on the water pump is misaligned and could cause the timing belt to contact a bolt on the cylinder head. Eventually the belt could be damaged and fail. If the timing belt breaks, the engine will stall, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect the water pump and if it is one of the defective pumps, the water pump and timing belt will be replaced.
Some fuel tanks were improperly manufactured. In a crash the fuel tank could be damaged and leak fuel which could result in a fire.
The steering column may be incorrectly assembled on some Pilots, which could result in a loss of steering control.
Some Pilot owner's rear spoiler on their Pilots warp and popped loose. This is a common problem that has been going on for several model years.
Early auto reviews of the Pilot include; that the Transmission exhibits hard down shifts and gets confused at 40mph speeds.
Also front brake rotors warp and cost close to $300 to fix the problem.
Owners of 2006 Pilots are experiencing vibration problems in the drivetrain or drive shafts.
The Honda Pilot looks are outdated, and the spoiler looks like an after thought.
The Pilot looks like a "Rolling Box on Wheels" compared to the Equinox.
I think I got good value with the Nox,mileage is decent.
2) Since the Equinox is as hi-tech as any foreign job, it's main brain is a computer. There are probably about 50 to 100 sensors from which it receives engine data, safety data, and vehicle data.
(Haven't had a chance to open the shop manual and count them all!)
So with that information, the computer has to then make proper engine adjustments to satisfy environmentally conscious.
So I don't think 1 second is to much to ask from your Nox's main brian. If it take 2 seconds to start, blame "green peace"!
3)In regards to that door sensor. Any good auto-tech at a reputable dealer should be able to fix that. Sounds like a bad door switch/sensor, connector, or wire.
Have a nice day!

There are thousands of flooded :surprise: vehicles out there that are being sold as new or used vehicle. Some are being relocated and retitled illegally and then sold.
Do VIN# checks and Title verification.
"gttaswm" problems are the same problems that a Vehicle that has been driven or has been sitting in high standing water.
According "gttaswm post" #955 & #957 :
"2006 Nox 4 months old, fuel gage failed. Hesitation while starting. Totally died at a stop light and would not start again. Service is replacing all connectors for fuel and starter. Can cause relays to burn out. The total wiring harness has to be replaced."
These are symptoms of a flooded vehicle and deception.
It has spent many days and nights in the dealership for major warranty work.
1) Flush to the coolant system and new hoses installed twice. Average repair time is 8-10 calendar days.
2) Thump thump thump from the front suspension all the time. Several suspension parts replaced. It still thumps.
3) Paint flaking off interior front door handles; with slightest amount of pressure.
4) Radiator hose bursts sending smoke into drivers compartment on wife.
5) Heater core cracked due to above.
6) All occurred with under 20,000 miles.
It seems GM places their newly introduced vehicles into the market fully expecting to uncover problems and fixing them as they go via warranty work. This may be an economical business model which works for them, but it certainly stinks for the consumers who have to work with their dealerships to resolve the issues.
I am unwilling to ever buy another first-year production GM vehicle and will likely never buy any GM vehicle again.
