2012 Chevrolet Equinox LS 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 6A)

The vehicle has been very reliable, and durable. Got into a serious accident two years ago, not only was I not injured I drove it home. Now have 75,00 miles on it and have to replace the brakes soon, it still passed inspection, replaced the tires at 50,000 miles. Gas mileage for an SUV is very good, and although it's a little under powered it gets me where I have to go.

I just bought the 2012 Equinox. It is my first new car purchase and I couldn't be happier. The ride is smooth, the leg room is outstanding and I feel very safe driving it in less than ideal conditions.

Great Car But Has Rough Idle at Times

I got my 2012 Chevy Equinox back in April of 2012. I love the car but at times the car has a rough idle, and is even worse with the "ECO" button on. It doesn't get the gas mileage that GM has promised.
Great car until 70,000 miles! Then a total lemon

2012 Chevrolet Equinox LT 4dr SUV w/1LT (2.4L 4cyl 6A)

This was a great car for our family for 6 years, then it started to burn oil and have a ton of engine/transmission issues. The car would stall during acceleration (extremely dangerous) and has some other design flaws in the engine that lead to expensive repairs. To top it off Chevy won’t admit that the 2.4 engine is prone to these issues.

11,000 and going strong

I have 11,000 miles on the car and it is going strong. It is a 4 banger. I pull a 12 ft utility trailer with a Gravley z155 mower on the trailer with no problem. The car shifts fine, especially if I hold a steady foot on the gas. I get 26+- mpg around town and 26.5 to 30 +- highway, with just myself and my lady in the car. She said it shifted a lot going oover the mountains this summer going to Detroit from NC. She had 2 teen gals and their gear with them. I would say the shifting would be normal for that. The only issue I have with the car is the A/C dash vents.the one on the dash, right of the steering wheel tends to blow either on my face or chest. Can't turn it enough to the right.
