2013 equinox 61300 miles, PCV valve frozen which blew the rear main engine seal close to a 4000 dollar repair, GM has a TSB 14882 for this known issue only to be told that my vin number is not included, a quick check of the web you will find hundreds upon hundreds of any GM vehicle with the 2.4 lTR engine with this same issue and GM is telling everyone their vins are not included in this TSB. do your research because your on your own GM cares when you first by it until they find there are issues then they could care less. excuse after excuse from numerous GM Reps. but they can not tell me what the difference between the vin numbers covered and the ones that are not, Piss poor engine design, and no accountability by this corporation that we the people had to bail out.

Purchased my Equinox June of 2013, when I brought it in for my first oil change, I already had an oil leak. Right around my second oil change I heard this horrible banging noise coming from the rear of the vehicle, the car needed a new secondary fuel pump, and sensor. Right before my 3rd oil change my check engine light came on, the car needed a new fuel rail pressure sensor. Now the car just came out of the shop this week due to a humming sound when I would turn on my ac. It turns out the car needed a whole new ac compressor. I have had nothing but problems with my new car. I have purchased 3 other brand new vehicles in the past, and never had any problems with them. Very disappointed!

I have the 2013 Chevy 2LT Equinox with 301 HP V6. Fwd, Leather,black on black, Tow Package, everything power. I only lack AWD, which I haven't needed in our somewhat snowy and icy winters Central Indiana. And Navigation. I also don't have the Economy Button people speak of here. I've had the car brand new off the lot $31k. I've had a couple of concerns. 2 days ago my power breaks locked my back wheels while driving. I had to have an expensive tow, but the work was under warranty. I haven't hit the basic 3 yrs 38k miles yet, I'm at 2 yrs 27100 miles. If I had been out on the interstate I think I may have had a bad crash, idk, don't wanna find out. The dealership fixed the problem promptly. I think perhaps this should be a recall that is fixed for everyone. Also, my license plate light on one side has lost the outer covering somehow in the car wash I beleive. The rear window doesn't clean easily. Seems to smear. No matter how clean I try and make it. Although it's garage kept, I cannot make that rear window look brand new again. I baby my car, and I absolutely love it otherwise. I avg 18 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway. I am average height and weight 5 11 180 lbs and the seating is extremely comfortable. The floor mats look well aged after going through just two winters, should have purchased winter floor mats sooner. I use both the fwd collision alert and the lane departure warning, and I love these options. I have the upgraded 18 inch wheels. I guess I'm here to boast about how much I love my car.... But, that being said, I'm concerned about this recent parking break issue. I think that's dangerous. The dealer said no worries, and blew off further conversation, but I'm a bit I settled on the issue and may contact Chevrolet directly.

Car Blows Up After Slow Speed Front End Collision

I had extended factory warranty repair work done on a stabilitrac sensor issue. I was told it was a high pressure fuel pump issue. Less than two weeks after the warranty repair work was done through Carmax, I was in a low speed fender bender in bumper to bumper traffic in Houston. I pulled the vehicle off the road to exchange information and when I walked less than 30 feet from the car the engine caught fire. Flames 4 feet high coming off the hood. In less than a minute after that, the engine exploded and engulfed the front half of the car in flames. The entire car was destroyed in less than the time it took for the fire department to get there. I would not recommend this vehicle to anyone. I got it because I thought it was safe. Coincidence that GM implemented front end collision warning sensors on their new models? I don't think so. I would not put my mother in this car. Another few moments in that car and I would have been burned alive.

What Problems?

I just got my New 2013 equinox 2.4 LS. I just don't see anything to complain about in this car!. On the test drive I did notice the transmission down shifting, but so what? that is what the transmission does. I am impressed with the power for a 4 cylinder engine in this car. As for gas milage it is pretty much same as my old Geo tracker, but this car has more style, more room, more power and fun to drive. This is the best purchase I made for the price I spent, and I did look and drive few other vehicles before chooosing and buying this car.
