Great car for traveling
Phil keeling, Galion, OH, 03/12/2015
2014 Chevrolet Equinox LS 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
we have taken several very long trips in this car. Mine has never been at the dealer for any problems at all. No recalls, nothing.
Coming up on 4 years of ownership, no problems of any kind. It's an excellent highway car. Several long trips, very quiet and comfortable, coming up on 50 k miles.
My only real complaint is the raspy 4 banger engine. We've had no engine problems and … once in high gear at 70 mph it's fine, tranny works well but city freeway driving is not fun as your have to really thrash the thing down the on ramps.
Update:
Still totally solid car. About 60 K miles now, still feels tight, like new. Our favorite car for traveling.
Update
70k miles. Absolutely no problems. Still on original tires and brakes.
Update
Around 75 k miles.
Never one, single, issue with this car. Excellent reliability.
Update
Close to 90K miles now. Other than basic maintenance no problems whatsoever
Gravel and Head Spinning
LGC, Black River Falls, WI, 06/12/2016
2014 Chevrolet Equinox LS 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
SOLD - NO LONGER HAVE - REMOVE MY NAME! Specifically asked sales person/manager about the ability of this vehicle to go UP my gravel driveway (sales person was familiar with drive). No problem was the answer. Wrong!!!! I have owned this vehicle for 7 weeks and ave 'spun out' more than 6 times. I have googled many sites trying to find out about how or issues for driving UP but only … found info for driving DOWN. Not only driving up the drive but also reversing up slight incline (out of cover). The hill is NOT very steep - and is not straight up, has several flat areas, and several turns. I cannot begin to describe how disappointed I am with this vehicle. I spent over a month researching vehicles and went for over a dozen test drives of different vehicles. I feel like I wasted my time and energy. I will attempt to talk with the manager about trading this for a vehicle that will actually DO what I need it to do. I am returning to dealer because manager and his staff are very good to work with and I have been doing business with them for over 4 years with another vehicle, with wonderful results.
My head is spinning trying to figure out how to operate the Infotainment system. And yes, I read the manual specific to the system. All I want to do is listen to my Ipod through the speakers; hooking up to the USB port in center console.
Excellent vehicle

4 cyl is not powerful but excellent mpg. Giving to new driver son. Extremely reliable. 185,000 miles, new tranny is the only repair. Great vehicle. I drive out of state with no hesitation.
where oil goes to die!
Chuck S., Black Mountain, NC, 04/29/2023
2014 Chevrolet Equinox LS 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
I like every thing about this SUV except three things. 1. The 2.4 engine is underpowered. 2. Bad gas mileage (about 24mpg combined). 3. Bad oil consumption. I have to add 3 to 4 quarts between oil changes. Because of this I cannot recommend this model. From my understanding the 2015-17 equinoxes have the same oil consumption problems that the earlier equinoxes had. Chevy lost millions in … a previous lawsuit because their 2010-2013 equinoxes also burned alot of oil. Even though this suv is comfortable, easy to drive, is quiet, has adequate cargo space and easy to park, I cannot in good faith encourage anybody to buy an equinox until Chevy proves they have fixed the oil consumption problem.
