Okay, is it just me and my luck (or should I say unlucky)? Purchased my 2017 Equinox Premier in December 2016, in May of 2018 just out-of-the-blue I get in my car, gently shut my door and BLAM the rear window completely blew out from the inside out! Did GM make good on it, No! Okay now and since September 2018, the monitor screen icons will not read out any of my temperature adjustments. The bottom of the screen goes completely black except for a few boxes outlined in red and one icon of a car with a simi-circle arrow. I cannot see any temperature readings or does any of the temperature/defroster/AC buttons, knobs, lights for seat heaters work. This does this intermittently. Usually when it's freezing cold and when I need it the most. I took it to our local Chevrolet Dealership and explained to them in detail and even showed them exactly where on the screen where this is/isn't happening. Days later after picking it up, same thing happens again. Called Dealership, took it back in and they said "that's strange, we replaced the radio." Who said anything about my radio not working? So after explaining it to them again in detail what was happening, they did a little research. It appears that GM is aware of this issue and is trying to resolve the problem. But in the meantime, GM tells the Dealerships NOT TO remove or replace any parts from vehicles until they resolve the issue. So now what? I drive around in a frozen car that I can't heat or defrost or air condition if need be? The Dealership and GM has no clue when they will resolve this issue. Unbelievable! BTW, we paid cash for our Equinox, $34,000. No bartering, no bickering. And this is what I get?! Also one last note, along with my rear window blowing out, the front window weatherstrip on the lower cowling is/has begun lifting up. The Dealership replaced and fixed it, but dented the upper fender in doing so. Another problem, GRRRRRR!!!! Yep, call me "One Ina Million", when lighting strikes!☹️ Very disappointed with GM and as for our local Dealership, stupid is what stupid does. On the positive note, love everything else about my Equinox Premier.

Both vehicles have been very inexpensive to own. The only expenses have been normal maintenance. The Premiere is just a bit fancier with power hatch, leather, both front are full power and driver's side memory, some extra exterior chrome. The Premiere has low profile 18" tires so the ride is firmer than the 2016 LT which has standard 17" tires. Both have Michelin tires and got almost 80k miles when replaced on the 2016 LT and was surprised how expensive the same tires were to replace. Doubtful we will get the same miles on the 18" tires on the Premier, totally different type of Michelin tire but still very capable. Rear cargo area has the very minimum space we need. The 4 cylinder in both provide decent MPG, the only time I miss a V6 is when its fully loaded for road trips thru the mountains. For whatever reason the 2016 LT feels it has just a tad bit more zip than the 2017 Premier. We have taken the 2016 LT on most of our roadtrips and it has been outstanding in all weather and road conditions. The low cost to own and reliability was our main incentive to purchase a second Equinox. My wife has the 2017 Premier as her daily driver while I'm perfectly happy to have the 2016 LT as my daily driver. We have a 2009 Chevy Cobalt coupe as a secondary vehicle as well as a 2005 GMC Sierra 4X4 longbed Pickup with almost 275k miles as a work/tow/haul vehicle. All have been reliable and worthy vehicles. Because of the miles on the GMC it has been a bit more costly to maintain. Still has the original engine, transmission and transaxle. I am very focused on the maintenance of our vehicles and expect to get our moneys worth out of them.

We bought this new 2017 Equinox Premier from a local dealership in August 2017. Since day one it has performed without any problems and still operates as it did five years ago. All the features on the Premier package are great. The lane change warning and distance warning are two of my favorites. Also, the computerized feature keeping track from gas mileage to oil quality are features that keep me on track when time to service the vehicle. The WiFi capability is another feature well worth noting if you have children or grandchildren. The is a great vehicle if you keep track of the necessary maintenance schedule and service it at the appropriate times.

Warranty is very limited. Less then 85,000 and under 4 years old, doors are rusting on bottom inside edge of doors. GM and dealers know its a manufacturing problem. They had a recall for the issue on earlier models. I won't buy GM again.

We love our 2017 Equinox. It is almost identical to the 2012 Equinox that we owned for 4 years. Very happy to have found this car!
