Used 2011 Chevrolet Equinox Consumer Reviews
semi reliable car
I'm not going to lie, I love my car. I've had it for two years now and its only recently started to give me trouble. given that it's going on 8 years old I think that it's about time for it to have some issues. the only thing I really don't like about this car is the mpg. i can barely manage 22-25mpg which is not what was advertised. besides that it's a sturdy car. been in a couple of accidents that voice been worse in a different car.

Unreliable suv
Suv shakes when it cam to a stop last year. Was told need to chang oil frequently, earlier than when the book tells you too. This week my car was starting to shake when I came to a stop so I was going to change oil that day but ran thru a bunch of water in the am an vehicle shut off. It finally restarted after 10 min but now it shakes really bad at stops the engine goes down to half power and it shuts off. To to repairman and he syayef he couldnt find anythin wrong. I picked it up it still shook alot at stops and shut off in my driveway thankfully. The repairman told is that the engines are junk in these late models. I dont know what to do. Any suggestions?

UPSET and discouraged in MD
Traded my 2007 Equinox model in for a 2011 LT1 two days ago (1/17). Drove the vehicle home w/ 63 miles. Drove to work the next a.m. and the check engine light came on 10 miles into my trip. Called onstar for diagnostics; found emmisions sensor problem and called the dealer, Adams Chevrolet, HdG, MD. Took the vehicle into the dealer and after waiting two hours i was told the emission sensor wire was stretched, they had to order a part. Drove a rental home. Called the dealer this evening, still not fixed; service told me GM shipped the wrong part. Spoke with Store Mngr who told me a different story. I AM VERY UPSET. MY opinion: "Stay away from Adams Chevrolet, Hdg, MD and 2011 Equinox."
As Advertised 2nd report
Returned from my 2nd 740 mile round trip to Rochester, MN and and am happy to report that this time I averaged 32.3 mpg on the highway. I did not drive over 65 miles per hour even though in MN the speed limit is 70. On the way home I averaged 29 mpg but attribute it the very high winds all the way home. Very happy with the Equinox.
Loving this Car!
I have had this Equinox for 3 weeks now and I love it more each day! So fun to drive and I feel so safe in this bad weather we've been having.
