Leaky Sun Roof - 2013 Chevrolet Equinox
By rickoh1 - April 17 - 10:01 amI purchased a 2013 Chevy Equinox new in February 2013. If you wash the car at home in your driveway everything is fine, but it starts snowing and you try to take it through a car wash, the sun roof leaks and you get all wet. I have taken it back twice to the dealer and talked to GM, both say that is the way the car is made, all 2012 and 2013 Equinox sun roofs leak when you take them through a car wash. My recommendation if you live where you have bad weather and take your car through a car wash, dont get a sun roof or buy something else.

Bad drivetrain in the 2011s - 2013 Chevrolet Equinox
By lsmithhart - May 15 - 7:44 amWe initially loved our Equinox, until the breakdowns and dangerous acceleration problems. The engine repairs began at 4500 miles or so, the transmission was repaired at 15,000 miles or so. With 30,000 miles, my wife doesnt feel it is reliable, so she drives the 2007 Mazda. The GM approach to satisfaction? Sorry!

Putrid backup camera - 2013 Chevrolet Equinox
By fairportion - April 8 - 7:35 amWow, big screen display for camera.Finally, my wife has a car w/a camera. Hah! The camera is too dark to see when backing from a garage and then, apparently, it adjusts to the light and is better. Hmmmm? By then I guess you could run over 3 tricycles and a shovel. Likewise, at night, the camera is virtually useless. There is insufficient light from backup lights to illuminate the area you need to see. This thing should be recalled and fixed. NOW! Conversely, my Kia Soul camera works very well in all the same situations. So much for Yankee ingenuity and the $Billion bailout (oh yeah, my 2013 Equinox was made in Canada).Secondly, the luggage space is laughable compared to our RAV4s.

2013 Chevy Equinox - 2013 Chevrolet Equinox
By Ginny - September 15 - 3:04 pmI bought an original Equinox a 2005 when the first came out (which I loved) so when I was in need of another car I knew I would go to another Equinox. This car has been one problem after another. 1) During a family trip the wiper motor stopped working during a horrific rain storm ( luckily went to an awesome dealer wished I lived in that state). 2) the transmission went on my way to get groceries the original dealer wasnt real accommodating so had to go another which was ok - wasnt great experience and 3) now while driving its stalls - really how safe is this car. Im so scared to get it in now - I cant express my disappointment in Chevy & GM
