I will never ever buy another Chevy product again. Bought new in 2010. Nothing but a head ache since. 20,000 miles Key Fob went out. 30,000 miles new timing chain. 35,000 miles new starter. 65,000 miles new starter again. 70,000 miles pistons and rings replaced due to high oil consumption, cam shaft sensor replaced, timing chain #2. Now less than 3 weeks later with 71,000 miles, broken wave plate in the transmission. Dealer is quoting me more than $4000 to repair. Called GM twice and I have had nothing but crickets from them. Completely and absolutely unacceptable. Going back to Honda's from now on. STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chevrolet Equinox: Poor Reliability

Purchased brand new 2010 Chevy Equinox LT2 in March 2010. I had no problems with the car until 47,000 miles and then began to experience the same engine problems reported by many owners on the Edmunds.com 2010 Chevrolet Equinox forum discussion: Rough sounding engine, threatening to stall when driving less than 20 mph or when idling. Dealer service center replaced drivetrain under warranty and air conditioner compressor. At 62,000 miles, needed 2nd drive train, so new dealer service center replaced engine. Now engine appears to work, but windshield wiper transmission blew at 69,000 miles, and actuator in air/heat unit needs replaced. This car is extremely poor quality, but has a good ride. It is a money pit. There is a reason for the 100,000 mile warranty. You WILL use it. Unfortunately, that means lots of trips to the dealer and more times than not, a rental car for the days your car is in the shop...again. I sold the car and purchased a Subaru Forester. Two years later with more than 57,000 miles I have had no problems. Let's hope GM has focused on fixing the problems of the Equinox. It could be a great car, if it weren't for the terrible quality. Edmunds asked me to update my Chevrolet Equinox review. There is nothing to report on the Equinox after I sold it in 2014, but at 120,000 miles, the Forester is still going strong!

Excellent vehicle.. questionable mileage

2010 Chevrolet Equinox LTZ 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 6A)

The vehicle has been an excellent purchase. I have had mine for 15 months now and enjoy its comfortable ride. Previously, we had both a Dodge caravan and Nissan Altima. We needed a vehicle that could store more than the Altima and get better gas mileage than the Caravan. Of the many models I researched in this range, the Equinox had the features and qualities we liked the most for our needs. The only complaint we have was the slightly exaggerated MPG rating where it advertised up to 600 miles on a single tank. I have not gotten above 475 miles on a 18.8 gallon tank. it places the Avg MPG at about 26. This is much better than the Caravan. But, it is not anywhere near the "up to 600 miles".
blinding reflections

I don't know if I'm just sensitive to light, but when the sunlight hits the interior silvery trim on everthing I can't see. I literally have to hold my right hand up to cover parts of the car to keep the reflection from blinding me. While I'm driving it is becoming quite annoying. I've had the car for 3 months now and don't know what to do about it. Any suggestions out there?
