Sound system is horrible

The reason I didnt give it 5 stars doesn't have anything to do with the dealership. However I really wish I shopped around more. I had a 2021 equinox and I loved it, so of course when someone hit me and totaled my car I thought I wanted another Equinox. Unfortunately Chevy changed alot of stuff since then in the newer ones. For starters I love my music and they definitely took alot of short cuts on the sound system in the 2026. No base and sounds like you are under water listening to it. I did buy the RS... I would have assumed it had a great stereo but my 2021 was much better!

Traverse and Equinox

I owned my Traverse for 7 years and loved everything about it!! Unfortunately it was totaled. I just bought a 2025 Equinox. A little bit smaller version of the Traverse, but just as amazing. So many awesome features, beautiful inside and out. I can't wait to go on a road trip. If you're looking for a vehicle, I highly recommend the Traverse and Equinox.

I have the Aktiv. It has plenty of power, all the normal driving controls work right. Cameras on all four sides, adaptive, cruise control, and voice control for most of the controls in the inside. The problem is you can’t find a list anywhere of all the correct terminology to use for the voice controls. Even the dealer can’t help me. Sometimes you use Google, sometimes you just talk to the car, and sometimes, in my case, I have to use Apple CarPlay to get it to do what I want. None of this is documented well anywhere. The car is pretty high up off the ground, And getting in and out requires sliding across the outside edge of the driver seat. I can see that that edge of the seat is going to wear prematurely. I don’t even know why the car is that high up. I put a USB flash drive in there with music on it, the same one that I used in my previous two Hondas, and the equinox doesn’t even see a lot of the songs that are on it. The dealers have done extensive research, to find out why these songs are not detected or played in this car, but they play in all the older cars. they can’t find the information anywhere, and neither can I. I find that very disappointing. OnStar offers a basic eight year plan called OnStar basic. Among other things, it includes basic navigation. Many of the OnStar built-in functions only work if you have OnStar Wi-Fi. After 90 days, this Wi-Fi has to be paid for or they disable it. So I called them up and I said OK enable it. and they did. At the same time they canceled my eight year OnStar basic plan. That meant all I had was Wi-Fi. No crash protection nothing. So I canceled the Wi-Fi, and got my eight year plan back.
