Seems to be below average quality

I would buy another as they are easy to find and maintain.I have owned the vehicle since 2013.The issues with the suspension components are a bit annoying as replacement is more often than it should be it runs good is decent mpg has plenty of power the AWD is a bit noisy when using as it only engages when the front tires spin it is not full time AWD but it handkk look es great in snow braking is a bit sluggish but I got use to it and drive accordingly you have to keep up on wheel alignment and hub bearings as these are very torque specific and absolutely have to be followed as are lug nut torque oil changes are quick and simple which need to be done as per manual or performance will suffer for my nox egr valves were replaced three times I have 245,000 on the car and from what I read that is above average life for this vehicle rust repair on the body for mine is minimal now at 245,000 my rocker panels need replaced as the tire change jack went thru do to rust that is not so bad for mine as I live in salt road Michigan any questions I will try to help

Heartbreaking

Don't make the mistake I made. Avoid Detroit Tire by all means. My vehicle was sabortogage' One thing after another my car was systimactically tampered with. I had a fine running car until I took it to Detroit tire.

Great Vehicle

I have absolutely loved this car from the very beginning. It handles pretty good and has held up very well for being 15 years old and 140k+ miles. Not much more I can say. I love the car enough to be the 2019 diesel version.

2005 Chevy Equinox

It’s a very good car. I bought it used from Day Chevy. There are certain parts that should of been recalled like the Carrier Bearing and the Ignition switch. In my opinion it cost me a bundle to fix. I love my Equinox and continue to keep it maintained. I Will try to keep it as long as possible. Because it’s my Chevy.

Not very dependable

We have had trouble with this vehicle from early on. We had to replace the engine at 35k and are having trouble again at 135k. It uses oil, we have no heat. It has always been dealer serviced at regular intervals.

Long lasting vehicle

I absolutely love my Chevy Equinox. It saved me from a accident. I crashed on the side if the road but my car was not totaled due to the bumper that saved me. It is sturdy and reliable. Also, perfect for long distance trips. My car has been to SC and FL and back! Great car!

Would not have another vehicle.

Since I got my 2005 used I love it. I would not have any other USV . It's very good on gas has never given any problems, rides wonderfully, drives like a dream. Best vehicle I have own in my life. Chevy did well with this one.

Stood up to a lot of hard miles

+230k miles and my Equinox is going strong -- a few minor issues here and there, but preventative maintenance has helped keep my car out of the shop.

2005 Chevy equal nuts.

Wanted to buy an American car, but engine made in Mexico, Trans in Japan, many parts from China, but list price was American. Gm should have named it the United Nations Car.
