Used 2009 Chevrolet Equinox Consumer Reviews
Bought a used 2009 Equinox LS
Had been looking at new equinox but decided to save some money and go used. The biggest worry was the Stablelizer light but found it only came on when the bumps on the highway were terrible. Drives great, acceleration great. The gas mileage is fine. Didn't buy it for that. Bought a cup holder that sits higher and works great. The controls in the center are too low and hard to see while driving so I don't mess with them unless I am off the road. I can deal with it for the price I got!!
not reliableI
I have had major problems with this vehicle, the ABS light, brake light and 4 wheel drive not working light continuously appear on the dashboard. The dealer has tried to fix the problem multiple times but is unable to. The vehicle has been out of service for more than 30 days. I am trying to return it under the lemon law but GM is fighting me. I would not purchase a GM vehicle again.

No real problems
We bought a used 2009 LS several years ago, 31,000 miles, which my wife mostly drives. Not a plush vehicle, but comfortable and dependable, The only problem we've encountered is the auto-off turn signal quit working about thee years ago. Well-maintained, serviced regularly, extra clean, 186,000 miles...expect at least 250,000, which is what I have gotten on three prior Buicks - 252,000 (was still running at over 330,000), 267,000 & 286,000 all sold above market. and 197,000 on my current 2005 Rendezvous LS. The Equinox is performing in line with those great cars.

26000 kilometers in and the love is gone
Well im 26000 kilometers and 17 months into ownership. So far i have replaced a Axel Seal, the Radio reciever, had to bring it in to get my XM fixed and currently it is the shop because my drivers door lock and power window is not operational and my Xm isnt working again and my check engine light has been flashing on and off for months. Now there are a few unsolved problems i have had too, Occasionally it makes loud knock while cornering, the transmission occasionally slips, once after a road trip there was a strong burning smell coming from the vents and i have had to boost it multiple times this winter even when it was plugged in. Trading it in at a loss as soon as i find something else
