Aiming to multiple fault situations, the equilibrium strategies of an unreliable constant retrial queuing model with disasters and negative customers. In this model, the server may encounter two different types of failures, when a disaster reaches the server in the working state, all customers in the system are cleared, and the server fails; when a negative customer arrives, the customer receiving service immediately withdraws, and the server also fails. Firstly, under two information levels, namely visible and invisible, the paper analyzes important performance indicators of the model, such as the steady-state probability and the average sojourn time of customers. Then, a decision-making model is established based on the “income-expenditure” structure to analyze the individual equilibrium strategies of customers and the socially optimal welfare strategies in observable and unobservable situations. Finally, through numerical simulations, the paper explores the impacts of changes in system parameters, such as the queue length and the compensation Rf received by customers on the sojourn time of customers and the equilibrium strategies.The results of numerical simulation show that as the number of customers in the retrial orbit increases, the customers’ sojourn time and the number of customers leaving the system due to failures increase significantly. Under full observable case, as the compensation Rf increases, both the individual equilibrium threshold and the social optimal threshold will increase, and relatively speaking, the threshold of the individual equilibrium strategy is larger. In the case of almost unobservable cases, the probability of joining the queue under both the individual and the social optimal cases increases as the compensation Rf increases.
