Do you're resurch befor buying an equinox. We have a loud ticking noise in our 2015, we researched it & many ppl have the same noise that gets progressively worse. The dealer says it's normal but we know it's not. We would trade it but who will buy a car with a tick in the engine. Beware of this GM vehicle !!!!!! The seats are black leather, very hard to clean. Fuel economy 18 mph city, 24 highway. Best mileage deceiving, it said 35 mph our car gets only 18 city 24 highway maybe. Ticking noise remains we Just have to ignore it.

I drove a rental for two weeks with only 33k miles on it while insurance is fixing cosmetic damage on my 2008 Toyota Scion XB RS 5. So this review is based on the differences along with other modern vehicles I have driven. The good. We like the stereo with XM, bluetooth, and touchscreen. Great backup camera and grid display. Works great, for us at least. I have seen others had many problems with this. I was also glad to feel that it has electric steering like our XB. The vehicle also looks really nice. And it is better than some other rentals we have had in the past. The bad. The Equinox has a 2.4L engine as does my XB. The Equinox steers very poorly, especially with sharp turns. I have to back up twice to turn around and pull out of my driveway. When turning right out of the driveway, it has to go halfway into the opposite lane. XB can do a sharp turn, no problem. The acceleration is moody. Most of the time even with ECO off, it takes forever to get up to speed in comparison. However out of the blue, it will burn rubber for no reason with the traction control on, indicating the system is not working. It frequently hesitates during acceleration, causing a sore neck from the shock of it. When testing the acceleration when passing a car doing 35 in a 55 lane, even after flooring it took it a while to speed up. The computer's passing mode is virtually non-existent. Gas mileage is very poor with ECO on. It averages 17-23 MPG when it is being pampered. My XB gets 24-28 city driving, even if driving it hard. Seats are very uncomfortable in comparison. We have tried adjusting them, but even a short trip leaves your back stiff. I have driven across country twice in my XB, back never got sore. The automatic lights would worry me if I owned it. They sometimes turn off after a minute or so. Other times they stay on for several. Online reviews said that many people have had their batteries drained from them staying on overnight and there was nothing they could do. Random odors come out of the vents. It varies from new car, rotten egg, and twice it smelled like cat feces. I am not making this up, HONESTLY it does this. Do not know what is causing this. The rotten egg smell is likely a common problem from mildew buildup in the system. But the cat one is really strange. I have had my daughter and friends love the look and felt excited about riding in it. Even one friend who love Chevrolet. But after being in it, they all said it sucks. Not making this up. It looks better than it is. When reviewing the vehicle online, it has many complaints for barely being a year old and one safety TSB. It is plagued with electrical problems ranging from the stereo system, the automatic lights, and electric steering system failing. The airbags were just recalled as well. They have a tendency to rupture and sending metal fragments, which is an extreme hazard. Make sure yours were replaced if you end up with one. Overall, I gave it two stars because I have been in worse rentals. I am happy for those who like it. I assume they must have been in many worse vehicles. But I have driven several other similar vehicles, and this is the worst one in this class. And the second worst modern vehicle I have ever driven. GM needs to step up their quality control. I would be embarrassed to market a vehicle that clearly has several design problems ranging from comfort, safety and reliability.

Bought the vehicle due to ease of controls and fily features. However after driving 1000 miles reliably I need a jump everyte I want to drive it. Seems this is a common problem. Woyld like to hear if anyone's dealer found a solution to this! Seems like something is taking the power out while I sleep..I am guessing it's the onstar and the advertised wifi(?)..

Hate the sound system

I am so sorry I didn't stick with a GMC. I decided to get a smaller SUV, I hate this car, it drives fine since I don't drive very far. But the radio just gets on my last nerve, the sound is awful, it is so flat even when I have the base turned up. The radio keeps going to XM which I didn't use when it was free so I sure don't want to pay for it. The blower on the heater/ air is so loud you have to turn up the lousy radio or talk louder or turn it off in order to talk to anyone. But yet they put in a box in the back of the car to take up storage room, that blocks OUTSIDE sounds! WHY? I needed to put the seats dow to put some boxes in the back, the second row of seats DON'T lay flay, so most of my boxes which had breakables kept shifting towards the back of the car as I was driving, what a stupid design! I want rid of this car so badly, but probably won't get diddly squat for a trade in even with only 6000 miles in a year on the thing.

Purchased this under the Chevrolet Certified Pre Owned Program and super happy with the Dealership, the appearance and upkeep of the vehicle the buying and delivery process. The Chevrolet extra 12k/12m warranty on top of the remaining factory bumper to bumper warranty and the 6year 100k power train warranty, the 172 point inspection program. 2015 was the last year of greatness in JD Power and other awards for the Equinox and we are happy to have purchased a vehicle that looks like new showroom in appearance for a lot less than a new car
