    Rough Idle on 2011 Equinox

    I have a 2013 LT 2.4 AWD that exhibits the same behavior. Not sure why. Everything is in good working order and well-maintained. ~60,000 miles on the odo. When first started, idle is rough almost like it is missing intermittently. After a few seconds, it settles down to a lower idle. Would...

    [Long Post. 6 Questions]Brand new Equinox owner Many questions

    1. It is supposed to do that. It's a feature, so be glad you like it. 2. One push = unlock driver's door. Two pushes = unlock all. 3. I've never tried. 4. I don't believe the guide lines you are talking about are a feature on this system. I know other vehicles have them, but mine doesn't...

    My last Chevrolet - 2010 Equinox - Motor and Transmission Issues

    Not to sound condescending and I don't know the history of the vehicle (whether you're the first owner or not), but this sounds like a vehicle that has been heavily abused. The dealership may have dropped the ball by claiming things are normal when you took it there, but there is no way that...

    2013 Equinox 4 Cylinder Rough Idle

    I experience this on my 2013 LT as well, but generally only when I first start the engine and shift into gear. Once the engine warms up a little, it smooths out.

    2013 Equinox Interior Console/Infotainment Auto-Dim Lighting

    As with most vehicles, when the sensor detects that it is dark, it automatically turns on your headlights and dims your interior lights / screens to preserve your sight in the dark. When the sensor detects daylight, it turns off your headlights and brightens your interior dash to make it...

    Hi everyone!

    Welcome, Laura. I have a 2013 that came with the sliding gap cover that takes care of the space between the cargo floor and the seats. Check with a local dealer, or so some searching online. Oh, and share some pictures when you get a chance.

    Performance

    There is a K&N intake ($300) and a Magnaflow Exhaust ($800). That's all I've been able to find. On this vehicle with this engine, I don't think they're worth the cost.

    Welcome. I'm relatively new too. There is good info here if you search, but the forum is pretty quiet lately.

    2012 Equinox key

    Sorry, sounds like you got hosed. I just went through the same thing after purchasing a 2013 Equinox LT that only came with one key. I have replaced key fobs for other vehicles and usually found it cheaper to get one online. I did some calling around and found (to my surprise) that the...

    2013 Equinox LT Fuel Filter?

    Hello - Just purchased a 2013 Equinox LT a few weeks ago. Does the Equinox have a standard fuel filter on the gas line like most other GM vehicles I have seen? I've been unable to locate the filter and haven't been able to find them for sale online. Thanks for looking.
