2006 Equinox only blowing out extremely cold air for the defroster and the heater.
- Newark, TX, USA
My 2006 Chevy Equinox heater has stopped working. It only blows cold air. This is a safety problem because without a heater to defrost the windshield visibility is completely obstructed.
- Stockton, CA, USA
The heater has gone out. The problem lies in the heater blend door and many others have the same problem. The problem is that the car can no longer properly defrost which is exactly what I need to do here I Idaho.

The car was parked from Tuesday 8/19 until 8/23 due to tropical storm fay. On 8/24, the floorboards were soaking wet from under the dashboard to under the back seat; push on the carpet and water would just well up. The parking lot was not flooded, the windows rolled up; the seats were dry, as was all of the inside panels; so I'm not sure where the water came from. I've called Chevy, they are sending me to a dealership for repairs and cleaning, as the vehicle is still under warranty. This is the first time this has occurred, I brought it with me from Nevada when I moved. It has been driven through heavy rains, although never a tropical storm, and I hadn't noticed any leaking before. It did damage several items that were on the floor, and it is very musty in the car now.

Went through the car wash and when the top was being cleaned, water started pouring in through the overhead front reading lights and the passenger side floorboards. Thought sunroof got left open but it was fully closed. Have not yet taken to the dealership but will this weekend.
