Ok out of sympathy for everyone with the 'car just shuts off' problem -this is a simple problem with a simple fix. Cause: the air intake gets oil or distillate residue in the intake. This causes the ignition computer to throw an 'out of bound' for intake air quality. No combustion solution -no instructions for fuel/air mixture. So the vehicle shuts off. My '05 Trailblazer did this. Solution: remove the air intake to expose the brass 'butterfly valve' of the air intake. Look for brown residue around the intake infront of the valve. This is confirmation of the 'bad air' issue. Take carb cleaning spray. Start the engine. At idle have someone rev the engine a little (1500rpm) and spray all. around the intake. If the engine stalls, just restart and continue. Do the carb spray + paper towel wiping until the valve and intake are clean. Done. Repeat next time it happens. I usually get about 50K miles between cleanings. Good luck, have fun, great vehicles imo.

Recently bought a 2015 LTZ V-6 with 22K miles from a local Thrifty Auto sales. for $27K. I'm very pleased with my purchase and like the features and the style. The mpg rating is higher than I've seen presented in other forums. Recently drove 223 miles at 70+mph and got 26.7 mpg. Typically we get 18-19 around town. The V6 3.6 VVT is responsive @ 0 to 60 under 7 seconds. 301 hp with 272 lbs torque. This engine is in the Camaro, Impala, etc. A smooth, quiet ride or with a 8 speaker Pioneer system , a baby boomer can rock out with oldies if you wish. I think this is a keeper for at least 4 years.

Leased a 4 cylinder as was not sure I would like it and the lease cost was excellent for 12,000 miles per year. Overall the vehicle is smooth, stops as predicted, and very quiet. I did not think I would like the center console with all the buttons but found just the opposite, as all the buttons are easy to understand and reach. Using a touch screen in a car can be difficult and dangerous as it takes your eyes off the road to long. Hence I use the buttons and really like the back button to return to the previous screen, just like a computer. The seats are comfortable on long trips and the vehicle rides nice. It is a SUV so the handling is just normal. Engine does not have a lot of pick up but the trade off is very good gas mileage. The chevy My Link is excellent and even read my text messages. Trunk area is not large but put down the seats and it has plenty of room to move furniture..... I would like to see a turbo in this vehicle as it would improve performance. Not sure Chevy will do this as it is their base brand. If they did I would consider buying one, not lease. I did drive a 6 cylinder GMC version and it was horrible. The one thing I don't like is the exterior styling. It is pleasant but very boxy. I will probably lease this again if the lease is a great price. Not sure the long term trade in or sale value is good enough to buy it.

You Should have a V6 AWD

There was no option to select the V6 for review. It seems there is a big performance differences between 4 cylinder and the AWD V6. First off is the power, Shocking! Plant your foot and go to warp. Passing is a pleasure, not "I think I can, I think I can". With the V6 and AWD combination you get an upgraded suspension that gives you precise handling and very little body roll without being too stiff. Stuff not easy to find in the specs. The major complaint is the transmission. It' not always as intuitive as it could be and for god's sake DO NOT use the manual shift buttons. They lag in command and once badly downshifted so let the computer do it. The so-called premium sound system is only fair. Would I buy it again? Yes, can't beat the bang for the buck.

Replaced a mini van with Equinox

Our family was downsizing due to kids getting older and getting their own vehicles, so we decided to replace our mini van that we owned for 11 years!! Obviously, the technology has changed and this upgrade was a huge improvement from what we had. We bought the Equinox brand new because we like the warranty and free 2 year scheduled maintenance that Chevy was offering (we're coming off a lot of repairs on the mini van, so this was nice). They gave us 2K for the van, and another 6K in rebates, so we financed right at 20K, great deal in my opinion. We love this vehicle!! It's very comfortable and easy to drive. The only thing that I would complain about would be the downshifting when coming to a stop. It downshifts a little harder than what I'm used to, but surprisingly, it shifts great and smooth when taking off from a stop. It does have this "Eco" option, but haven't really noticed a difference. Again, this vehicle was a huge improvement over what we had, so we really like it. If you're into buying newer vehicles all the time and expect the best in everything, then I'm sure you might find some flaws with this vehicle, but we love it!
