  • Continuous Message Popping Up - 2010 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    So I bought my 2010 Equinox LT1 on January 29th of this year. I love it and dont regret buying it. I do have a few problems with it though. About 3 months after I bought it, a message began to pop up whenever I would hook up my iPhone 3G. It would read, "No supported data found. You can safely disconnect the device." It started not even recognizing my iPhone anymore. Now the same message comes up about every 5 minutes or so when Im driving, and nothing is even hooked up to the car! I have taken it into the dealer 3 times in the past 3 months to get it fixed, and they cant seem to fix the problem. I want to keep the car because I love it, but does this fall under the lemon law?

  • Sick of GM. - 2010 Chevrolet Equinox

    Way overpriced $30,000.00 4 cylinder, lt1 package, basics pw, pb, air, etc. Cheap looking inside, smaller than previous models. Best of all nothing off sticker price and no rebates, wow!

  • Great Value for the money - 2010 Chevrolet Equinox

    This is the first Chevrolet I have owned and I must say that I am quite pleased. I test drove a Ford, GMC, and Chevrolet and the Equinox was the best out of all three. Drives smooth and quiet. Bumps are hardly noticed. Space is well used, cargo area is large for a midsized SUV. For a V-6, sufficient power is available when needed.

  • $34,000 car, where are amenities? - 2010 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    Love my car, but didnt realize until got it home, no passenger side power seat - what? and No programmable garage door opener--I consider these standard equipment on a mid-priced car. I got the LTZ and added granite paint, 18" wheels, audio/navigation system, I just assumed that it would have a power passenger seat and programmable door opener. I was driving a Buick Rendezvous that had all these amenities and seats that folded flat

  • Very impressed with the LS - 2010 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    I can honestly say, for a new vehicle this is the greatest value I have ever purchased GM has really come a long way in a short time. The vehicle has a great ride, smooth over bumps, quiet interior, comfortable seats and all with good performance and fuel economy. The 2.5 L/4 Cyl coupled with the 6 speed transmission is a surprisingly effective combo so far I havent found the acceleration lacking and the fuel economy for a vehicle this since is a pleasant surprise. I never had OnStar or XM stereo in my vehicles but I do enjoy having both available to me and will renew. I am very happy with my LS AWD and would gladly purchase the same vehicle if given the choice again its a great value.

  • Nice looking, but quality is not there - 2010 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    Owned since August of 09. In Jan 10, heat stopped working. Took two days with the dealer to fix. June 10, starter and air conditioner condenser broke. Dealer had car for three days, fixed the starter,but had to order condenser unit from GM. Still waiting for delivery. Very unhappy with the quality of the parts. What will break next? Also, gas mileage is not what was advertised. Was this vehicle built on a Monday?

  • Very Impressed - 2010 Chevrolet Equinox

    Ive had my LS AWD for a about a month now and I can honestly say I am very happy with this vehicle. The standard features are really impressive with this vehicle. XM Stereo, Onstar, push button automatic seat height and lumbar support all standard. The 2.4 L four cylinder with the 6 speed automatic is really a surprise to me. The transmission shifts smoothly and at the appropriate torque level. Acceleration is also quite good for the power train and of course, the fuel economy is atypical for a vehicle this size with AWD. Ride quality and seat comfort are what make this vehicle stand out to me though. The seats are so comfortable and ride so smooth, I find myself cruising well done GM

  • Second followup - 2010 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    Millage between 12 and 16 thousand miles. Nor-Cal to Mass, optional V-6. Still very happy with everything. Gas MPG was way up on whole trip. One day across Wyoming got 29.2 MPG. Most other days MPG was between 24.5 and 28.5 at 75+ MPH. No problems at all. I need to get front end "Bra" as the front of the car takes a beating with road objects flying into you causing paint divots. GM and LaBra dont offer them. Oil changes, tire rotations have been at 7500 miles each with around 24% oil life left. The car climbs highway hills with no problem, cruise manages that well including gas mileage. Cruise memory can get overloaded sometimes just reset and your ok. Great long trip car the best for 2 or 4

  • 800 miles and tranny trouble - 2010 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    I was happy till after 800 miles win the transmission intermittently shifts unusually at low and high speeds. Its scheduled for the second appointment to get an extensive test drive. I feel the service dept is trying but they indicate there are no codes and the 6 speed transmission is unusual in nature in that it doesnt shift right/normally. It is also very intermittent but my confidence is pretty much gone in the drive train. In addition the ignition/ steering wheel locked and had a couple of other incidences with the ignition switch, again intermittent problem, service could not duplicate the issue.

  • Great Vehicle - 2010 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    I find this vehicle is very fun to drive. My passengers have commented on a very nice ride. Feels bigger than it probably is, but things like parking and space in your garage it is really no more than a reasonable footprint. Head and leg room are excellent. My dealer was very good about finding and swapping a vehicle of my color choice since the one I ordered was taking much more time to get than we anticipated. I would buy it again based on the first 3,000 miles.
