STAY AWAY from the 2.4L

2013 Chevrolet Equinox LT 4dr SUV AWD w/1LT (2.4L 4cyl 6A)

Bought this vehicle 2 years ago with 81k on it. Now, 2 years later, we are at 130k and the motor is shot. It started to go through oil like no tomorrow after the timing chain was replaced. (The 2.4L is notorious for oil usage and timing chain issues) Now the pistons are full of oil sludge and a spark plug is smashed into the engine and the engine is useless.

Excellent size and repairs have been minimal. On 80,000 miles and still going strong with no major mechanical issues

This vehicle is dangerous

This is a 4-cyl, 6-spd, front wheel drive. Owned for 8 months, have put 15,500 miles on it. I've been stranded twice due to break-downs, both times requiring a tow back to the dealer. The transmission has major problems, leads to the starter shorted and burned off, and fit and finish is so poor that road dust gathers in the cabin. The front wheel drive is fine on dry roads as long as you keep the traction control on. On wet or icy roads, the vehicle is down right dangerous. Without the traction control you slide all over the place, with the traction control the anti-spin engages and the vehicle will not move. All-wheel drive is obviously a most with this SUV.
