Towed 3 times in 4 days

GM knew the charge air cooler outlet air tube may be disconnected on some 2019 Equinox models but continued to sell them, thus putting customers in harms way. Within 4 weeks after buying this lemon, while traveling 70 mph on the interstate, 300 hundred miles from home, the car banged, shook and went into reduced power mode. I drove slowly to a safe area, and was towed to a Chevrolet dealer, I was told cars fixed, but it happened again twice more in the next 4 days. I had to rent a car to get home, GM had my car fixed a third time and transported vehicle back to my dealership10 days later. The brand new Equinox is sitting in the garage because I don’t feel safe driving this model. GM customer service has been terrible.

Love the 2019 Equinox!

My wife and I leased a 2019 Equinox AWD with the 1.5L Turbo engine. We absolutely love this vehicle. I understand how people say it is lacking power when I compare it to something like my mom's Mercedes GLC, but honestly I have never felt the need for more power, and passing on 65 mph 2 lane county roads has been no issue. Steering is very true and tight with relatively no wind pulling issues whatsoever. On trips, we get 30 mpg with the lifetime average currently at 25.8 mpg. Every time we check the lifetime average, it seems to improve. We got this vehicle in November and idled it all winter long so the lifetime 25.8 is pretty impressive to me. I think this vehicle is going to continue to be great for our needs, and with our growing family, I foresee us buying GM products in the future. Maybe just something bigger like a Traverse or a Tahoe. For now, the Equinox is fantastic. Currently 5,282 miles.

My 2019 Chevy equinox is a smooth riding and quiet SUV. Comfortable with a good amount of interior space. My LTE bottle is loaded with features including a really nice sunroof and infotainment center. Test drive one you won’t be disappointed.

The vehicle handles excellently. The 1.5 liter turbo engine has good pickup, and feels sporty. Instruments are easy to adapt to. The touch pad screen is handy. The interior is roomy both front and back. The only downside is that it does not come with a CD player. My wife has subscribed to satellite music instead. The fully adjustable driver's seat is excellent, an additional fully adjustable passenger seat is not on this vehicle and I wish I had purchased a vehicle that had this also.

Truly loved the car, but the workmanship was poor

I will start off by saying I do not hate the equinox, we traded our awesome 2014 in for a 2019 bsck in March. The first day things were great, loved everything about the vehicle. The second day wasn't so great, i hit the gas to pass someone and the duct from the turbo to the throttle body blew off. Took to dealer, they pushed the hose back on. 1 week went by and we started having goofy glitches with the info-tainment system where it would randomly make the ring sound, but there wasn't a call to be answered and the screen would get really hot and freeze. That same week, i went to pass someone again and the duct blew off a second time. I returned to the dealer and they kept it for a week and a half and replaced the waste gate. Fast forward another week and a half and during a family trip, I once again hit the gas to pass again and the duct blew off again. I limped the underpowered vehicle home and pushed the duct back on. The next day i was on my way to the store for ice and hit the gas to pass someone again and the duct blew off again. At this point I had lost all trust in the vehicle and would not trust it during any trip. I know the dealer would have eventually fixed the duct problem, but I literally didn't trust the car after all these incidents over a couple months. We traded this car in after 3 months for a VW. After being afforded the opportunity to drive several of Chevy's 2019 vehicles, i feel like the quality and workmanship is non existent. I am a chevy guy, but I do not support this 2019 line up.
