I decide to check out the reviews on the Equinox after my wife purchased one this year. She's had what seems to be a common and on going problem with this truck. The jerking during acceleration. We have had several tune up(The dealer said that was the problem) to NO availe. Now it's more of a bigger problem than I ever thought. I decide to just ask an Equinox owner out of the blue. So I went to the local truck stop and wait for the 1st Equinox to arrive and it didn't take long. About 6 min later one pulled up and I asked the driver about any problems. Well guess what, they were having the same problem. So, I think this is a recall Item. But because the Equinox is one of there bests

All was well until I hit about 98K miles. It all started when the ABS and Stabilitrac system began to malfunction. It would be just fine for a while then the system would show that it would need to be serviced. When this warning is enabled it doesn't allow you to use the cruise control. Then, it began to start very sluggishly. After doing some research it looked like all I need was to replace the fuel filter. The only problem is that the fuel filter is built into the pump so you have to replace the WHOLE UNIT (About $400). Not long after these things started happening we had to replace the transmission ($3500). We had a few other repairs a few months later amounting over $1000. I finally had enough when I received a phone call from my wife who was traveling with my kids while I was out of the country saying that they are broke down on the side of the road. The engine blew a spark plug, and with some research we found that this is a defect in the way the motor was built. Then a few months later the locks began to go haywire and the seal around the gas tank needed to be replaced due to it breaking down. We finally decided it was time to just cut ties. I would also like to add that any simple repair to be done on these cars is a NIGHTMARE!

Its resale value is poor and this car had reliability issues. After 93,000 miles it overheated and blew a head gasket. Had issues with it running rough from a cold start for first few seconds and had problems with spark plugs and spark plug wires. Left rear taillight kept burning out. Would blow white smoke out tailpipe once in a while. I would not recommend buying this car.

Bought my equinox used at 67k miles. Still had warranty. Traction control and stabilitrak sensors replaced. 20k later after warranty was up... Same fix. Car jerked at 50 mph. Engine light was on. Had to change spark plugs. Misfired on cylinder one and melted the wires. 25k later same problem. Misfired on cylinder 1&5. Engine light on later. ECM sensor. Rear hatch touch pad went out almost right away. At 141k. Engine is toast. Blew a rod with a only half quart low on engine oil. It's been a POS since the get go. Front headlight holds water. Replace bulbs now about 6 times. Brake lights at least 4 times. I carry extra bulbs in my glove box so I can replace asap. Would recommend staying far away from this piece of junk. I have been a loyal GM customer and this has made me look toward FORD.
