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.

Retirement Car Not!

First of all, I love 98% of my new 2017 Chevy Equinox. I have been a Ford person all my life. But, in researching for a new car, we found the Equinox had everything we wanted at a lower price. However, there are two things that I don't like about my new car. The first thing is the car tank on the passenger side. I bought this car to be my retirement car. I wanted to have my car paid for before I retire and have time to enjoy the ride. But I don't find it to safe if I am alone to get out of my car to go around to the other side to pump gas. Please make all new cars with gas tanks on driver's side. I also had the opportunity to ride in the back seat. I didn't realize that there were no air conditioning vents in the back. When having " hot flashes ", you need air. The passengers up front were freezing so we could get enough air in the back! Please make sure that there are air vents in the back for passengers! I have learned that the 2018 Chevy Equinox have these things corrected. Looks like I needed to research a little more for my retirement car!

2017 Chevrolet Equinox Premier 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 6A)

Believe it or not this is our first SUV. We have driven Impala's in the past and still have a 2013 Impala. This is why we decided to lease this Equinox to try it out. So far my husband (he and our 39 year old son) love it. They insisted on a 6 cyl. with AWD so it does handle great and is comfortable. We are all tall so having the extra leg room in the back seat is great when needed. Also, like the good size cargo area. After only 2 weeks I think we all agree this was a good choice for the price.

After owning a traverse, I find the equinox to be a disappointment. It struggles badly in eco mode. Its barely comfortable and mileage should be much better for a 4 cylinder vehicle. If you buy one of these, make sure you buy an extended warrantee .

As soon as my 2017 Equinox hit 60,000 miles the battery died, needed new water pump, needed 4 new tires, need new intake manifold, serpentine belt, 2 sensors for the engine. I have spent so much money on this vehicle. All these repairs happened within 13 months of each other. It's like when they built this car, they only built it to last until 60,000 miles.
