A year after i purchased my used equinox my water pump went out. While at the dealership they realize that my opinions have been worn and my timing chain needed to be replaced. Less than 6 months after my engine light popped on.. This car has been unreliable almost the whole time i've owned it. Last march i replace the timing chain again. After much research i realize that my timing chain keeps getting destroyed…

Exhaust leak between the manifold and catalytic converter with only 57,000 miles. Dangerous odor and potential carbon monoxide exposure. There was no incident that could have caused this problem. Mechanic states that problem has been common among gm suvs this past year.

Our 2010 chevy equinox was working fine. Last week we came to a stop at a stop sign... Heard a bang noise and it started to idle rough, and shut off at stop sign ( hard to even know...since radio still playing). Also sounds like a thrashing machine.... Check engine light came on and has since gone off and back on and back off. What is the best correction for this safety issue. Continues to shut off at stop signs.…

I purchased this car as used. When i first bought it there was a ticking sound that could barely be heard. The dealer said that was common. For vehicles sitting in the lot. I brought the car back once it got a little louder and they said most fuel pumps make that sound overtime but there was no issue. And that the manifold was causing the loud noise and gas smell. And needed to get repaired. That was during the…

From inception this vehicle has burned through oil and has consistent issues with running smooth. The poor fuel injection system has caused abnormal wear on engine and parts therefore it has caused me to pay out of pocket for breakdown of parts in a premature stage. Now my catalytic converter is bad, all fuel injectors, coils and everything around that system!!! I am looking at over 3k in repairs again!!!
