    Tire sensor

    I've watched customers at Discount Tire negotiate prices of new tire sensors. So if you need to replace it don't pay full price. Also, I don't fix that system when it fails. I still have my dependable $2 tire pressure gauge in my glove box. It's all I ever needed before these sensors were...

    2010 and up

    What's the possibility of changing the Equinox General Discussion forum title of 2010 and up to 2010-17, and then add a 2018 and up forum?

    Rubber fell off car, what could it be?

    It doesn't look like anything that would harm the drivability of your vehicle. If you can't look under your vehicle yourself just bring the rubber piece to your mechanic at your next service and ask.

    Headlights going out

    Possibly Bad bulbs. Happened on my wife's car. Used Sylvania bulbs and only lasted a few months. Usually get years out of them.

    2010 chevy equinox

    Sounds like you bought someone else's old problem. The 2.4L ecotec engine in these equinoxes are known oil burners. I don't think you'll qualify for the class action lawsuit for this car because I believe the cut off is 120K miles, but you never know. My wife and I just traded in her 2015...

    Equinox cranks but no start

    Who'd you tow it to? Definitely stay away from a dealership. Maybe get a second opinion. I know from our fleet trucks at work that have the same symptoms we just try jumping the battery first and that works even if it's cranking. Also try some starter fluid.

    Dealer recommends the following maintenance for my 2019 chevy equinox

    Find a better shop. Don't do maintenance at a dealership. Only use dealerships for warranty work and recalls. Cabin air filter is a five minute job anyone should be able to do themselves. Rear diff and transfer case are good ideas. Brake fluid is good idea to make brake parts and lines last...

    Can I use a non-dealer to replace battery

    I bought my battery at Advanced Auto and replaced myself. It was starting slow for a couple mornings. It died at work the day I planned on buying a battery on my way home, 😂

    2011 Equinox P0013 Code

    First, make sure you bought quality parts or genuine GM parts. Also, when replacing the vvt solenoids you are supposed to change your oil before starting them up. I bought mine from Napa for a little over $100 for the pair. They came with an instruction card that said you must change the oil...

    Help!!! 2011 nox ltz leaks

    Try a good body shop or mechanic. They should have the equipment to search for water leaks. Dealerships don't, and usually have a guy come in on certain days to do this kind of work.
