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?

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.

MPG not like advertised

I got the load down LTZ with the DVD and Nav. I love all the features! My only complain is the horrible gas mileage. I drive both city and hwy daily and I average 21.5 MPG. That is not even what they advertise for city and no where close to the 32 Hwy. I was hoping to average about 28 since thats what I averaged with my old Lexus with similar specs. I was told to let the engine get broke in first before I said anything but Im at 11,500 miles and it never got better. Other than that its a great car!

2011 Equinox Update

We've owned our Equinox for about 4 months now and have 4000 miles on it. The longer we own it, the more we like it. We test drove many other vehicles but just kept coming back to the style, room and comfort of the Chevy. We're big Honda fans so the CR-V was the leading candidate going in but did not compare well at all to the Chevy in style, room, interior features or design. The Honda seemed very cheaply built compared to the Equinox. Everyone should at least give the Equinox a good look while shopping for their next crossover. features and design many other vehicles and just kept coming back to the style, room and comfort of the Chevy

The car ran great when new, now has 4500 miles on it and it starts to shake/missing when it lugs down in gear. Dealer said nothing was wrong so taking it to another dealer. This morning it made a grinding noise when I started it. Junk
