So my '07 equinox is at 220,500 miles and still going. Who has me beat? Original engine, original transmission, original head gasket.

Had the exact same thing at 150k on my 07 NOX. You have a caliper sticking intermittently causing overheating. The heat is melting the rubber boots on the caliper pins and causing the smell. Bring to a shop and have them replace the brake fluid hoses. Mine was caused by pieces of the brake...

I will take up your challenge. The 07 6 cylinder 3400 engine has been awesome. I am at 181,000 on the engine and still going. I recommend synthetic and change at 7000 miles. That way, if you do you your own oil changes, you spend less time under the car. Conventional will work well but you...

So I have 3 Chevrolets. My '07 6 cylinder NOX has 181,000 miles. Car has been great. Who has the record? :)

Have an '11 Nox with the 4 cylinder engine. Engine oil problem caused timing chain to stretch, damaging cam and cylinders. Dealer replaced 100% under warranty. Afterwards, I got an intermittant Catalytic converter error. Logical. The engine ran hot from damage, burning off the inside of the...
