Engine Designed to Fail

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

Do not buy any of the Chevrolet vehicles with the 2.4L or 3.6L engine, including the Chevy Equinox. The engine components are made so poorly the engine timing chain will fail resulting in engine failure, just after the warranty is up. I have a 2017 Chevrolet Equinox Premier with the 2.4L FWD with up to date maintenance, and out of no were the engine needed to replaced just after hitting 60K miles. There is no reason to trust the integrity of the Chevrolet.

Worst car I’ve ever driven.

Recalls on recalls on recalls, dealerships not doing anything and breaking more things every visit, blaming problems on the gas station (who did quality testing and found no issues), just an over unsafe car and no one to help fix it because it is literally garbage. Do not buy. You will hate your life every day until you can get out of your lease, which they will be sure to give you hell for.

I needed an AWD SUV to comfortably transport my dog. I roam miles and miles of back roads in search of photo locations, often on dirt roads and certainly in the winter, too. This vehicle has exceeded my expectations. The rear cargo area is exclusively for my 75# dog. He's very content back there, too. I can see him in my rearview mirror and often he sits and watches traffic behind me. The seating in this vehicle is bolstered well, offering me comfort during my 500 mile weekly driving. The cockpit layout is simple and logical, nearly identical to the 2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel I traded in. I also kayak so, I appreciate the ease of using the roof rail system. Fuel mileage is important to me. My average over the 15k miles I've driven so far, has returned about 28 mpg. My best 50 mile stretch got me 38 mpg! Overall, I feel that this vehicle is well built, dependable and comfortable to drive for long periods.
