    2020 Equinox Auto-Stop Issues

    Same. I turn mine off when in my small town where the traffic lights change quickly but leave it on when I am in larger towns, or where I know there are traffic lights with longer delays. The other week I noticed the auto stop didn't kick in and it made me watch things closer. Turned out to be a...

    New 2017 LT 2.4L owner

    Always glad to see exceptions to the norm. I will say my 1.5 has almost 100,000 km on it and going strong. I don't drive as much as I used to, but more than the average driver. It sat in the body shop for @ 4 months, if not for that I would be well over 100k

    Available performance mods for 2024 model.

    Best mod I found was to trade it in on a Blazer with a V6 :ROFLMAO: I've adjusted to life without the 3.6 and am satisfied with the 1.5. I feel any performance mods you find won't likely be enough to make it worth doing. I painted my calipers red, it makes it look like it's going faster than it...

    Power Liftgate Switch

    What year is your Nox? if a 2022, still likely too soon to expect battery issues, although possible. BTW, yours appears to be Iron Grey like mine, you don't have red outline door badges, do you?

    Front Auxilary Ports

    If the picture is accurate, there is no SD Card slot showing.

    It would help keep injectors clean regardless, I would think.

    Front Auxilary Ports

    That one is also missing the SD Card slot. This one appears to have it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/276116366466

    Radar Cruise Question

    Yes it does. I wondered the same and then driving at night I came to a reduced speed zone. I lowered the speed of the adaptive cruise and could see in my mirror that the brake lights came on as it slowed. Easy to see with the nice bright LED lights back there .....

    The New 2025 Equinox-- a review

    Seems to be replaced by Activ. I'm not impressed, contrary to many here, I think the new design is fugly compared to the 22-24.

    Fuel door seal

    Someone on another forum said he went to a plumbing supply store and bought a 2" rubber cover for about 2 bucks and it works great.

    I use Techron in mine, probably more a question of personal preference. Both products are quality and are used often. I have only done 2 treatments of Techron and am almost at 100,000km. I use premium almost exclusively so the Techron is probably overkill. No need to lecture on premium in a 4...

    2024 Equinox LT - eliminate auto start/stop function

    You forgot to test if the car icon turns blue when you have Adaptive Cruise set, and step on the gas because you're impatient and want it to accelerate faster :ROFLMAO:

    Tires, Tires, Tires, which ones?

    My 22 RS came with the Kinergy GT Hankkooks. Great performance, quiet, good in rain but wore out super fast. I have @ 35,000km (@22,000 miles) on them and will be needing to replace them very soon. Since these tires are about $400 CAD each, I won't be getting them again. I always had the best...

    ABS on my Equinox Premier?

    I too was afraid to test the AEB. Then in a parking lot some woman decided the stop sign was not intended for her, and it worked! I agree with SteveK, I love the adaptive cruise and use it all the time. No worries about slowing down, the car does it for you. Even comes to a complete stop if...

    Rattle

    I read elsewhere that someone found that the plastic trim on the top left side of the dash was not fully clicked into place on his. Perhaps that is worth checking? This is the plastic surrounding the heads up display of 6 red LEDs for the Forward Collision Alert. He simply pushed down all...

    2024 Equinox RS Heat concertn

    My 22 RS has a similar issue. The colder it is outside, the higher I have to crank up the temp. Of course the dealer doesn't see the issue as it is never cold enough when I take it there, and if it was, they wouldn't be on the highway like I am. It's warm enough so I just live with it. I did...

    What is this part called?

    My 22 RS also has no sign of this. Perhaps it is/was on the front side of the fender liner? The fact that you are missing 2 plastic retainers and pins suggests that. Except there are no markings around the holes to show that anything was once there? Hmm, still a mystery
