I purchased a 2018 Chevy equinox June 2021 , 6months my truck dashboard lid up like a Christmas tree , with all these problems , transmission , engine , traction control issues . called dealership would not let me bring truck in until 7 days later took it in any way according 2 them they could not find a issue because no codes came up , they had 2 keep my truck the whole weekend with no loaners available , how can a huge dealership have no loaners available truly ridiculous !! And the service dept was not that friendly !! I will not buy another Chevy car of any kind !!! And the people in the service dept need to find another job if they don't like what they do !!!! So do not purchase another Chevy vehicle!!!!!

Love mine, NOT made for cold weather

This is my second winter having my equinox. Last year my engine light came on & said “engine power reduced”. (-30C to -40c) Took it in and they said the intercooler freezes up. They ordered in a part that “fixes” it and gave me a grill cover. Never had a issue after that. Now this winter (only -15c) it happened again. I will be taking it in to see how they plan to fix it. Just doesn’t seem to be made for Canadian winters. I plan on getting a new vehicle in a few years. I don’t think I’d be too excited about keeping this as a long term vehicle because of the issues in the cold and the where I live. In warmer climates, you should be golden! In nice weather, I LOVE my equinox. I get good gas mileage, feels cozy, love the dash display/radio & technology (premier). I wish I would have got a 2.0L so it had more pep to it. The 1.5L is good, but it lags when speeding up. Update: brought it in yesterday. Got my vehicle back in the evening. This morning on the way to work the engine light came on again. It’s -30c. If I knew About the issues with it in the cold weather, I wouldn’t have purchased it. They shouldn’t sell a vehicle in cold climates when it can’t handle it. GM better do a recall to fix this soon!

They have incorporated many new features that had been upgrades from the 2016 Equinox. Examples are: automatic tailgates, space in cargo area is now wide enough to put my golf clubs sideways as opposed to dropping the back seat down; push button start; car sensing key fob.

Equinox

Equinox love the style. Great looking car. Have 5000 miles in two months. Trips too Philadelphia and Boston from our home in South Carolina. Great gas mileage. Very comfortable ride but. Riding on 95 through North Carolina lost power and lights came on in the dash board. Then went off. Made it home but scary. Took it to the dealer they said no codes. But they did change the inter cooler for the turbo. So far so good.

2018 Chevy Equinox

This 2018 Equinox would get 5 stars if it didn't have the auto stop. GM should have an option to deactivate as I"m pretty sure that either the starter or battery will go before the end of my 3 year lease. I wish GM still had the CD players in their models as the display for audio/MP3/port jumps around when selecting songs. WiFi isn't always strong in this vehicle as the Nav is constantly in connecting for recalculating mode.
