Worst vehicle I ever owned.

I regret badly buying this vehicle. There are SO many recalls on it and every recall has failed plus more. I have approximately $40,000 stuck into this vehicle including price and repairs since I've owned it. Not only have I replaced failed parts but have replaced them 2x over for failing. If I didn't still owe on this vehicle I would have gotten rid of it along time ago. I strongly recommend NOT to buy an Equinox. Worst vehicle ever and you will have tons of repairs!!!! This vehicle is a pure example of the Lemon Law.

POS

This is the biggest piece of crap SUV. I wish my wife never bought this car. I am on my second motor and tyranny. Now I have to spend another 1000 bucks getting the timing and seals fixed probably from this other time. Don't buy this type of model. I like Chevy but they were the older trucks not this newer crap.

Garbage

Had to replace everything on the pile of junk except transmission! When that happens and trust me it will I will have a brand new car basically! We have changed everything from the engine down to the heater actuator! Pay for the car and extra warranty for warranty to not pay for a damn thing. Hell even recalls and there is many, somehow we ended paying for parts of it!! NEVER will buy again thats for sure. AND we will NEVER buy from Scott Chevy again. A place that holds keys to car like its a hostsge til I paid for check engine light check, and because I decided to wait to fix over $2000.00 worth of problems they wanted me to pay a fee! I sat in showroom in tears until my son called with his credit card info. All stuff that had to do with engine recall, of course warranty wasnt responsible and the day after warranty ran out dealership said engine needed to be replaced!! Ended up spending over $5000 for new one and told over and over by Chevy my chevy wasnt covered so I couldnt be refunded. So dissappointed in Chevy altogether. We have always had Chevys, currently own Equinox garbage and 2011 Camaro, we will NEVER buy another one after our experience with these two cars! If I could give a negative number I would.

Money pit

We have had to replace a lot of parts that cost a lot of money. The vehicle has barely over 100,000 miles and burns a lot of oil. It is a sturdy vehicle and is roomy but I don't think that makes up for all of the negative issues.

An SUV without Rear Air?

We bought the Equinox as our oldest child was an infant. Assuming all SUVs had rear air was the biggest mistake we've ever made in the Car Shopping business. Our two children have suffered from the lack of A/C for 5 years now. We can't wait to change vehicles in the near future.

2011 Chevrolet Equinox, AWD

Nice pick up. Good in the snow. Mfg specs say burning 2 qua of oil between oil change is normal. Not impressed. Rear storage restricted by space taken up by wheel wells. Blind spots significant to left and right of rear window. Back up camera on rear view mirror seems obstruct view backing up. Hands free phone very sensitive in terms of understanding names of people driver intends to call.

Unexpected expenses

The tires and wipers are extremely expensive. Personally, I don't like the lock switch by the radio either.

I love it, but

I love everything about my Equinox except the engine. It doesn't have enough power for the car and always seem like it's working too hard to get up a hill or when you step on the gas to move in a hurry. ..whic h it doesn't.

Love the SUV but was disappointed in how soon I had to replace the transmission.

Great car but dont leave the dealership without a warranty. (Extra coverage). They were great about fixing the transmission. Didnt overcharge me and also dealership was able to work with GM to get a portion of the cost covered. Overall a nice vehicle. I would rate great if not for the trabsmission issue at 80k miles.

Repairs are breaking me!

I have more money in this car then I have ever put in a car in my life. I can't afford to get another car so have to keep repairing it. New transmission, new catalytic converter in last two years, $5,000. Now motor mounts, shocks etc.

Extended Warranty is Great

I’m glad I’m bought the 5 year extended Warranty on this vehicle. It’s paid for itself already. We’ve had three separate expensive issues and the extended warranty has paid for them all. Bottom line make sure you buy an extended warranty.

Junk engine ruins everything

I would be in love with my equinox LTZ - great look great feel, great features- if it wasn't for the known junk engine Chevy put in it. Excess oil consuming engine with no low oil indication warning. Multiple online posts of blown engines because of this and that includes me.

It would be a great review, if only the 4 cylinder engine didn’t use oil!

My 2011 Equinox is fairly reliable except my car has 90,000 miles on it and I have had to replace the master cylinder on the brakes, and recharged the AC twice. Biggest complaint is that the 4 cylinder model uses oil between oil changes, so I have to replace a quart of oil about every 2,00 0 to 3,000 miles.

Chevy Equinox 2011

This vehicle has been a great car except for all the repairs having to be done to it. I feel like I purchased a lemon. Too many repairs to mention. And I wish that the a/c was in the rear too, that would be the only reason as to not purchase another one.

Solid choice.

The Equinox is a solid choice for the small SUV market. Roomy with great cargo space. Comfortable on long trips; functional options and handles well. Decent power and gas mileage from the 4 cylinder option. Would buy another. Chevy did a good job developing this vehicle.
