  My equinox - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Jared - September 10 - 3:05 pm

  I see many complaints of the equinox. I have owned mine for 7 yrs now bought it with 35000 mls now has 156000. I havent had to do any major maintenance on it til now having to replace the head gasket. I put almost 700 mls a week on it and have had nothing but being happy with its performance and reliability. My wife also feels the same. So whether it be ppl not performing their own at home maintenance of a vehicle, changing its oil and just learning their vehicle with its sound and handling and knowing when something is wrong is their fault. I love my Equinox and would not hesitate to buy another

  Since My Last Post I Did Have The Entire Engine Rebuilt... Since The Rebuild I Have Put 40K On It In 1 Year, I So Have Grown To Love It, Drove It Cross Country Several Times And It Has Never Left Me Stranded, I Have Been Following The Maintenance Schedule 2The T, Transmission Flushes, Coolant Flushes, Simi Synthetic Oil Changes. Also A New Catalytic Converter, Rear Shocks, Front Brake Pads And Wheel Bearings, Air Filterx2, Cabin Air Filter, Driver Headlight, Passenger Head Light Wires Burned Out {Current}.

  Reliable car - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By el68lie - July 17 - 12:25 pm

  Bought this Equinox new in 2005. Have owned it for almost 10 years. We have pretty low mileage on the car just over 60,000 miles, but we have had minimal problems with this vehicle. Had a head gasket early on, but other than that it has been just maintenance. Change the tires, change the oil every 3,000. One tune up. I am not a fan of the drive train set up. The wheel base is set back so the car does not turn tightly at all. Dont care for the set up of the console between the front seats. Everything falls down along the seats and you cant get you hand down there easily. Not a good design. Dont like the cup holders. Cheap. Otherwise, good reliable car.

  need help, ac problems - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By cindysue2 - May 26 - 4:38 pm

  The ac on my 2005 equinox not working right. You turn the ac on and it doesnt get cold. I had it checked and was told it needed a new ac compressor, so I had a new one put on. Still didnt fix it. We discovered the fans werent turning on to push the cold air out. I bought a pressure switch, put that on, they come on now but still not pushing cold out. Its like they are not turning fast enough. No one knows what to do with it. Im tired of spending money & it not getting fixed. Anyone have any ideas?

  05 Equinox - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By bconner4 - August 23 - 6:20 pm

  So...I bought my 2005 equinox in 2011, and since then I have had to replace...fuel pump, shocks, struts, radio, antenna, starter, and now the computer!!! This is outside of tires, brakes, rooters, and calipers...Also the 15 mpg city sucks, especially when newer Suburbans get 20 city. I will never buy another one ever again.

  Starting problems - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By mudskipper - September 13 - 7:34 pm

  I recently bought a 2005 Equinox. I looked for over a month and thought I got a good deal. Ive had it for a week and Im having starter problems. It turns over but takes a long time to start. This only happens about half the time. As Im reading reviews Im seeing this is a common problem. I would like to get it fixed while under warranty so Im curious to know what exactly the problem is. Seeing all of these bad reviews and potential problems I am now wondering if I was wrong in buying an Equinox. Any ideas on the starting problem?

  Love my Equinox But...... - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
  By diana408 - March 3 - 10:02 am

  I have had my 2005 Equinox since 2008. I love driving it but I do have one complaint..the electrical system is poor..I have had all kinds of trouble with lights..dash board lights do not work and the driving lights will not come on automatically when turned to auto..I am putting over $2000.00 into it to have the air bag light fixed and I still wont have dash lights as it would cost another $500. and I will still have to turn lights on manually...I think you really need to work on this problenm and give some type of refund for these repairs..
