    Allignment

    Has anyone else been told by tire shops that their Equinox's rear end in not capable of adjusting the Camber? They tell me with regular rotations shouldn't be an issue but after going 7,000 miles with brand new tires on the rear i now have them on the front end and the road noise drives me crazy.

    2016 Equinox

    I like the changes, it certainly needed a refresh. I agree through really not enough. I wish Chevy would get with some of the other car companies out there and introduce LED headlamps. The LED accents with Halogen headlight looks Janky. Even the low end Corolla has LED Low beams. But i have...

    2010 Equinox Radio Problems

    I would highly recommend going to your local Chevy dealership to have the issue diagnosed. Depending on your mileage on the vehicle the dealership may be able to cover the issue under good faith. Or you can always call Chevrolet Customer service and open an issue with them.

    iPod Bluetooth Stereo On Equinox

    If your Equinox radio is not a MYLINK radio you will not be able to use bluetooth for music. This is one thing i wish i would of known when they started adding MYLINK as a $500 add on option in 2012.

    Power locks

    I know in Old Body Style Equinox you could still lock the door using the Remote while the key is in the engine. I'm not sure if that will work in the New Body Style. Its an anti lock out feature. No one wants to be locked out of their vehicle while their car is burning fuel.

    Inter Lights: auto shutoff feature?

    Battery Rundown protection in GM vehicles is usually 10 minutes for both headlights and interior lights.

    Lets see those Lights!

    Please see attached the before running standard H11 Halogen bulbs and After running LED H11 replacements. It took about 10 minutes to install from the ports located in the wheel well. The factory plastic cup covers that go on the back of the projector headlights will no longer be used. Because...

    Test Drove a 2014 4-cylinder AWD Equinox

    Just as a follow up the 3.6L AWD does have a better 0-60 time compared to the 3.6L FWD. But yes either way you go (4 or 6 cyl) you will suffer on fuel Economy with AWD compared to FWD.

    Test Drove a 2014 4-cylinder AWD Equinox

    Totally agree with Brian. If you absolutely must have AWD get the V6. I have the FWD V6 last winter we had record snow fall in central ohio however had no problems in the snow even with the factory Michelin all season tires. AWD and the 4 will feel sluggish since the engine is powering 4...

    2012 doors rusting after 9 months.

    Well i spoke too soon. After only a month. The rust is back i could see it through the pain rubbed it with my finger and the paint starting pealing off to bare metal......Doesn't look like they prepped the surface properly as there was no primer used. I haven't had a chance but i'm going to...

    Lumen replacement LED bulbs

    Now you know why they only offer the H11 replacement as a Fog Lamp Option... I take it you put the originals back in and sent the LEDS back?

    Lumen replacement LED bulbs

    Good luck, curious what you think. I've looked into potential LED options for Headlamp replacement which is the same H11 bulb. I've found one potential solution at 2100 Lumens per bulb it has all the great parts of HID and doesn't have the negative of the price and overheating. Check it out. If...

    Lumen replacement LED bulbs

    I appreciate the information. I upgraded all of my interior lights, back up lamps, and license plate lamps with LEDS in 2012. I tried to upgrade my fog lamps with an H11 style LED replacement lamp however even though the Color of the light is whiter then incandescent it did not have enough...

    Lumen replacement LED bulbs

    I'm just curious. But why would anyone replace the fog lamp bulbs (H11) with an LED replacement with 1/3 the Lumens for $33?

    2010 Equinox Radio

    I made the mistake of not getting MyLink when it was an additional option in early 2012. So i'm stuck using the AUX port instead of streaming over bluetooth. I once heard that GM was suppose to have firmware updates available for download on their website. But I have yet to ever find one. Its a...

    2011 Equinox Burning Oil

    I can't speak for the 4Cyl, however i have a 2012 with the 3.0L 6Cyl (47K miles). I run Mobil 1 synthetic 15,000 mile. I do have to add about 3/4 of a quart halfway between oil changes. I've had to do this with all 5 GM vehicles that i have owned. One Quart every 2k miles seems a little wonky...
