2006 Chevrolet Equinox Fuel system Problems

“Vehicle randomly shuts off completely at different speeds while driving. It has happened once every three days up to 6 times in 20 minutes. It has occurred on the freeway and city streets. Had PCM reprogrammed, no luck. I have been testing different fixes. While doing so I noticed I am able to pull the key out at any ignition position.”

“When I first bought the vehicle with 77,000 miles, I notice a gallon of water in spare wheel well. Had to reseal rear door whether stripe. 5 months later the actuator of the heater failed and broke the blend door to the heater. I didn't have heat for a year. Brake system sensors failed 3 months ago $2000 fixed hub and assembly and knuckles. Fuel injection line broken at only 100,000 miles.”

“Our car ignition from day one has been an issue .there are times you try to start it wont .we took it back to dealer they told me I didn't know how to start my car,one time the ignition shut off while driving ,onstar came on and had me go outside car and redo fuel cap,then turn key on with out starting ,finally she had me restart car. We still have ignition issues ,I even contacted GM though email got no response. They seem not to care.”

“All is good until the reduce engine power and traction control light comes on then you can go about 10mph - also know as limp mode , which around here would be run me over mode. This is dangerous and I have been very fortunate to not get hit when it has happened. October 11, 2008: 45,000 miles replace throttle body assembly march, 2011: 82,000 miles replace throttle body assembly august 2014: 125,142 miles replace throttle body assembly this is ridiculous. This repair at dealership is $700.00 each time. …”

“The gas tank is leaking fuel a fare amount. It began this summer here in mesa az. We bought the car in june of 2017 and had no problems with fuel leaking until this summer. Now it has become a hazard and from what I can see, it is coming from the fuel tank. The problem began in late july and I have left it parked since. It has become an serious leak. Because the fuel evaporates quickly, I have not taken any pictures. It did make a six inch puddle under the tank here in the drive way the last time I moved the car a few feet from one side to the other of the drive. I have not driven it since.”
