I still have one 2010 and one Chevy Cruze, and so far no major problems, but recently got rid of my other 2010 Equinox because I really couldn't depend on it Being reliable after 2 major engine problems in a month. And, no, I didn't buy another Chevy or GM product.

Sounds like we are all in the same boat...
Written by: momof1plus1 on Apr 3, 2012 10:30:15 AM
Sadly, it looks like this is a common story. My 2010 Equinox was purchased new. I have a long commute and was attracted by the gas mileage. I now have 91K miles on it Since buying my car, I am on my 3rd fuel pump, 2nd timing chain and now, due to it overheating for no apparent reason last week, I'm getting a new engine. The thing sounded worse than an ... Read More

I would suggest adding fuel conditioner "LUCAS"and turning the ECO OFF while in Stop & Go traffic. I only use the ECO on a road trip, this 4cyl needs the extra fuel / power for stop and go or I find it stuggles and I'm not satisfied with the performance.
