Chevrolet Equinox Reviews

I recently bought a used 2021 Chevrolet Equinox and BOY did I make a mistake. I have only owned my equinox for 2 months and I really really regret my purchase. I HATE this car. The interior is cheap. The car has zero features and feels very cheap and basic inside. On the outside my clear coat is already starting to peel away. The tires are like tiny thin donuts. The trunk is a joke. If you put anything over 5 lbs on the trunk deck it falls in on itself because it's made for cheap garbage material. The area underneath the trunk lid is even worse. There is nothing but a spare tire and what looks to be the metal frame of the vehicle. Why would Chevy leave it looking cheap and unfinished?

Stay away from this dealership at all costs! They have a new system called docupad and it's impossible to follow the slick salesman (Peter **) & his much worse finance manager, Matt ** when running through the deal numbers. They refused to print out the sales contract on paper & did it only begrudgingly when I said I wouldn't sign. They tried to add on $5,000 in extras and when I caught them they gave me attitude! The worst is they tried to add on a $1,300 fee for paying cash! But far and away the worst employee is the sales manager, Adam **, who takes the honor of being the worst car salesperson I have ever come across in my 40 + years of buying cars. His rudeness, unprofessionalism, and attitude are a fine example of the culture at Lou Bachrodt Pompano Beach. This dealership is a great place to recommend to your enemies!

My 2017 Equinox's transfer case went. I had it diagnosed and knew what was wrong with it and how much was to fix this. I have less than 100,000K on the engine but all warranties are gone. The car has been very well cared for, including tires, oil changes and so on. I reached out to Chevrolet Customer Service just to see if there were any options for me. I can't afford the $3000 it is going to cost. Customer Service Rep, Jordyn assured me that there were options but first I must take it to Pye Chevrolet to have them diagnose the issue. I explained that I had it in writing from a reputable transmission shop and that the car was not drivable, I would need a tow. He told me the only way to move forward was to have this diagnosis done at Pye's. Being assured that there were some options, I followed his instruction. (I was clear that I had to tow the vehicle at my expense, and it had already been towed 2 times and really couldn't afford it).

First off, the oil consumption issue is insane. This issue has caused bigger issues. Two Chevy dealer service stations said nothing to me about the issue. Just fixed random things. Thousands spent. The recall for this problem happened a couple months before I bought this and Chevy won't fix it. This has destroyed the catalytic converter. Bye Chevy.

I have seriously dangerous electrical issues since I purchased this 2018 Equinox. GM claim they don't have a fix for the electrical issues. When I lift my foot off brake several sensors come on as well as door locks unlock and relock. The vehicle jerk forward or rolls backwards when foot is removed from brake. I have no choice but drive it as it is my only source of transportation. Lemon law attorneys are only concerned about getting their fee and GM offer to buy back with drastic deductions for depreciation for a few thousand dollars when my car loan was 25,000 plus thousands still owed. I would review with half star or less.

Purchased 2017 Equinox. Religiously changed the oil. 70k. Engine leaks all oil out of rear main and engine is trash. I’ve owned 5 Equinox’s this one was defective from day one. I’m seriously rethinking ever buying another GM. I’ve read many other owners that have had exact same problem. I now know why they pulled back the 100k warranty. This is a known problem yet I’ve never received a recall to fix it.

I've owned my Chevy Equinox for four years and went through AC compressor, two alternators, the wipers stopped working, major oil consumption. Hands down worst vehicle I've ever owned. Absolute scrap metal.

I have been leasing an Equinox for the last 2 years, that has been in for repairs 20-25 times! Neither GM or GM Financial will stand by their faulty product! I have made payments faithfully, and have only received a LEMON car. The fact that they don't stand behind their product is ridiculous! My ex husband has worked for GM for 25 years & is completely embarrassed by the customer service. Will not buy GM product again! Very sad!!

Design, comfort and fuel economy are great. However, the 2.4L Ecotech Flex engine burns oil at an alarming rate. I had to spend $4500 on a motor replacement, not even 11 months after I bought the vehicle. I had a warranty and was denied my claim by a dishonest adjuster. Chevy knows that there are problems, but only issued a service bulletin that I, or YOU would never know about. Pretty horrible business practices when we know that GM received taxpayer dollars during the recession. Go for the V-6 if you desire an Equinox. The 2.4L are trash and will break your bank.
