Faults:

My head gasket blew at 29,300 miles.

General Comments:

The car has a very good feel inside. Comfortable.

One bad thing is the turning radius.

I can't believe the head gasket blew with under 30,000 miles on it. It's practically brand new and this problem is unheard of!!

Faults:

We have owned this piece of crap for 4 years now, and have always wished we hadn't bought it in the first place.

We just had to drop 2,000 on a new head gasket at 49,000 miles, which should not happen at this low mileage. We were told by the dealership that this has become a common occurrence on this model and year, but that it is not quite to the point where they will have a recall. We have received all the "we're really sorrys and I know this stinks... but" we can handle. If this is a known problem by GM and is not the fault of the owners, then why should we be held responsible to spend thousands fixing a defect?? I will never buy American again, and I really would like to.

Faults:

Gas gauge was not as accurate as I thought it should be. It was fixed and covered under warranty. The only thing to go wrong so far -- nearly 40,000 miles.

General Comments:

I have got to say this is the best car I have ever owned. I like sitting higher up (SUV) and feeling safer in the car. Side/front airbags. Great trip car, great driving during a snow storm -- cruises right through. Seats are comfortable, and seat heaters are nice for Minnesota winters.

I wish it got better gas mileage (20-28 mph). When driving my little Jetta, I felt vulnerable on the freeway because it's a pretty small car.

Turning radius could be a little better -- it's a bit clunky to turn in tight parking lots.

Faults:

Replaced brakes.

General Comments:

I've been reading all the comments about the 2005 Equinox. I ordered mine sight unseen and never regretted it for a minute. Yes, I replaced the brakes and tires. But I never had another problem. I traded it in late 2006 (because my car salesman husband told me that I needed to trade before 70,000 miles. I bought a 2007 Equinox. I love my Equinox!

Faults:

Brakes started making noise after the first month.

I am having trouble starting and I took it to the dealership, and the mechanic told me my one of my fuel injectors was bad, and he would have to keep the car to find out which one it was. He said labor alone was going to cost me $510.00.

Driver side door will not shut off the lights or radio. Took it in twice for this repair.

Numbers/letters have worn off the radio and anywhere else they were supposed to be.

Leather seats have worn badly.

Had to replace windshield wipers after 5,000 miles, and it hardly rains in OK.

I have had so many problems with car, I just want people to know that if they are thinking about buying one, they should steer clear of this one. Dealerships are not going to help with anything when it comes to repairs. Especially if you keep taking it back in for the same thing over and over. I know I'll never buy from the dealership I bought this car from, ever again. Seems like they would treat a regular customer better than what I'm being treated. And I was a regular customer.

General Comments:

Never again will I buy a Chevrolet, especially from the dealer I bought this one from.
