Chevrolet Equinox Reviews

I love the Equinox. This is my second one. It is easy to drive. I love that the rear seat is movable. It's great for older people too. Easy to get in and out makes or easy to get groceries in and out.

I purchased my Chevrolet Equinox used, but it only had 20,000 miles on it. I really love driving it. The seats are VERY comfortable, (found out on a trip that was 1,800 miles one way.) I haven't had to make any 'pricey' repairs on it... yet, and I've got around 45,000 miles on it. I have only taken it in for the oil changes. I rated the value at a 4 only because these cars drop in value the minute you drive them off the lot. I rated performance as a 4 because of winter driving. I have seasonal radials on it now, but I think for next winter I'll be putting snow tires on it, but it IS a great car!

The Chevrolet Equinox LE is an excellent vehicle in all areas including but not prohibited to OnStar the new Chevrolet attachment. It is all of the above and then some, easy ride, lots of space and comfort, seats comfort your body front and back, drives like a dream, handles fantastically and is right on when you need it. It is an amazing vehicle, and it holds its value better than any vehicle we have ever owned. Even after three years of use its value remains high both for trade in and outward sale. It's our choice for present and future, love this SUV.

My 2013 Chevy Equinox blows the rear main seal at 61300 miles, known issue on GM 2.4 engines, of course when you look up a TSB ** your vin is not covered, what a surprise. Stay away from GM 2.4 liter anything.

My biggest disappointment was getting in my new car and trying to find the CD player. Alas, there is none. They won't even put one into the car. I have had to transfer my choir CDs to Mp3 player, use a small CDE player which is inadequate, or my phone which I have yet to be able to download the music to. If I had it to do over, I would not have bought this Chevy Equinox. Our other Chevy broke down when we were on vacation and we chose this one not thinking it wouldn't have a CD player.

The 2014 Chevy Equinox ltz gives us what we expected. Gas mileage, comfort, reliability (98000 miles), and all the important features. The safety features, such as the warning systems have operated when we needed them (car slamming on breaks in front of us). The dealership has been very helpful.

Just under 5 years the airbag light came on out of nowhere on my Chevrolet Equinox and it cost 105.00 at Staffalinnos just to diagnose the problem. And although I bought the extended warranty plus the supposed 5 year warranty they said I had a short in my passenger presence module and it was not covered and would be 656.00 plus tax. I called Chevrolet and they will pay 262.40 of the bill.

Be very careful if interested in a new Chevy Equinox. I had a 2013 and never ever had a mechanical problem. But, my 2018 (purchased in Dec 2017) bucks, shakes/ vibrates sometimes when driven at low steady speeds. The dealership agreed with the problem and checked 3 more cars on the lot and they did the same. But, no corrective measures were taken because the COMPUTER did not create an error report. Just saying- test drive them carefully and check that low and steady (20 to 30 MPH) speed.

I have a 2012 Equinox I was driving and the oil spilled all over the street and the car cut off. Took it to the dealership they said the rear main seal blew apart from condensation. I've only had this car since June of this year so 7 months. But and my first oil change they told me I had a slight oil leak but they couldn't tell where it was coming from. On the second floor and changed they said I had a slight oil leak but it's a little worse than the first time. On the third oil change at a different place they told me the oil was leaking and they did not know where it was coming from so now I know the real name.

The Equinox would be a decent family vehicle, but it has no vents in the second row which is uncomfortable in the summer heat for backseat passengers, especially children buckled into a molded, covered plastic child seat directly behind the passenger or driver seat, dependent on the direction of air flow from the vents in the dashboard which are the ONLY vents in the car. This is not a sedan; it is a much larger vehicle that takes time for the air to circulate to the back seat, and even then it is not directly toward the back passengers who are seated directly behind the front seats. That said, the Equinox 4-cylinder gives excellent gas mileage and a good linear ride on the highway.

I purchased my Chevrolet Equinox 2012 on 05-29-2015 from Chevrolet of Spartanburg in Spartanburg, South Carolina. I took it back to the dealer the next day during the lemon law period in South Carolina. I expressed a concern that rain was coming in from the outside when it rained. They stated they could not find any issue and I probably left a window or my sunroof open (even though I'm pretty good about closing them). I am living in a different state for the summer and it constantly rains. My floor boards of my driver and passenger side has been flooded. I expressed my concern with a dealership in my current local area and they expressed they do not handle my particular issue and an outside contractor comes in for the work. I called the contractor and he couldn't get me in until the following week.

Chevrolet customer service is deplorable. I had an ignition lock recall on my 2005 Equinox. It was replaced 3 times. Still had issues. On the 4th time at the dealership, I was told it was fine but the key was bent, so they made new key and charged me. The 5th time, the problem was the housing that holds the ignition lock in place. I was now told the recall was not a recall but a special policy. Since the policy does not outline the housing in it, it is not covered.

A friend of mine told me I should contact ConsumerAffairs about all the issues I've been having with my 2010 CHEV EQUINOX. At this point I don't feel safe driving the vehicle because of the numerous recalls and manifold/motor replacements since I purchased it a few years back. The local GMC dealership in Sydney NS refuses to help me any longer with reoccurring exhaust/manifold issues that has been addressed many times in the past. It now produces a very bad sour smell inside my car especially when warming it up and I'm afraid that even if I replace it at my own cost ($1200 + estimate parts and labor), it will happen again.

Having a warranty on a Chevy is joke, My engine locked up on my 2013 Chevy Equinox. I had all my service that showed I took car of all my scheduled maintenance. But they would not fix the problem, also they acted like they investigated it but they didn't. They couldn't even tell me when the last time I had an oil change.
