2010 Chevrolet Equinox LT1 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful
Our 2.4 liter 4 cyl. equinox has just over 22,000 miles on it and already has been in twice for service. Timing chain was sloppy and destroyed 8 engine valves. Also had a re-flash of the PCM about 9 months prior due to poor performance. MPG is 23mpg at best driving it granny style. Spacious interior is offset by uncomfortable/stiffer seats. Burns about a quart of oil every 1,000 miles and GM says its normal. Have a 1994 Ford Bronco 5.8 liter that is almost 20 years old with a slow oil leak that only loses about 1/2 quart every 3,000 miles. Scary when half the engine is replaced at only 22,000 miles. Never again will I buy Chevy as I've heard multiple timing chain complaints

i had the engine repaired by dealership at 80000 miles in 2017. they did $4000 of work paid by GM. I had a misdiagnosis in early november 2018 that cost $1600. I had to replace transmission also in November 2018 and had to pay $3000 as it would have cost $4500 at dealership. And recently just had the throttle and gasket replaced for $500. I have 135000 miles on it. the engine is poor and has always been a wussy. I would not recommend buying a equinox. My father has a 2018 equinox and it drives smooth like a car, but again it feels like you are in a car. so i would dodge ANY equinox and any GM car with a Stablix track or whatever it is called as it comes loose every year and sounds alarms all over my dashboard.

Had the vehicle only two days when engine light came on. Took to dealer and they told me that the part that is needs in non-existant? Not in the system and will have to be taken off the assembly line at the Cami plant in Ingersoll? Part finally comes in three days later and does not fix the problem. GM Engineering tells dealer to start checking the electrical grounding system for the potential problem. I called the GM customer care in Oshawa and because it is a leased fleet car, she would not take my concern, told me to have the company call and complain. I told her I was unhappy and would right a review online, she told me "Good luck with that". I am through with GM! JR.

I was shopping for a new small SUV and the dealer i went to is a Toyota/ Chevy Dealer I went in search of a Rav 4 and had not even considered the Equinox or any chevy for that matter. The salesman told to look at this Equinox and keep an opened mind. And Am sure glad he showed me this. It far exceeds my expectations and spanks both the CR-V and Rav-4.
Happy except for reliability

Have 40,000 miles on the Equinox now. I have no complaints about the gas mileage and don't really care. Blue tooth, radio controls seats are all fine. It is an SUV, not a sports car but given that, I am happy with the ride. However (you knew that was coming) it is now at the dealer for the 3rd time to fix a major transmission problem. It is still under the drive train warranty luckily and we get a free rental. Service department is nice enough. But it is awful to have the car break down in the middle of rush hour traffic in the left lane of the highway. Don't know how common transmission problems are in this car but we got a lemon. I am going to insist they replace the whole transmission.
