The power window control on the driver side no longer works, the power lock on that side quit working as well. Now I hear there is a recall of 2006 GM vehicles with the same issue, but not my car. Is this a coincidence or not enough complaints from Equinox owners" the risk that caused the recall was the potential for a fire. Do I need to worry that my car will catch fire"

My car continues to overheat. I had the radiator flushed and new fluids put in a new thermostat put in but it continued to over heat. When I took it in to have it look at (van dorn auto), I was told that the cooling fans are not working. The mechanical shop (van dorn auto) called the dealer and was told by the Chevy dealer that they were having problems with the fans because of the sizing and that they will have to order a different size to send to van dorn auto to be replaced in my vehicle. When I called for a recall they told me there was no recall. How can that be if the original parts have to be resized to fix the problem. 2nd issue the windows operated like they are off track when it rains. This has been since I purchased the car new in 2006. Every time I go to the dealer, they try to get me to replace the part but they wont offer any discounts. This is a problem with the manufacture and I don't feel I should have to pay for it to be fixed.
