    2010 Equinox with transmission problem - how much should I hope to get for it?

    I have a 2010 Equinox LT AWD, 115k miles, 4 cyl. Needs an exhaust manifold and transmission repair or replace. I'm looking to sell it. How much should I hope to get for it? I've never sold an undrivable car before. And I know I'll get nothing from a dealer or Peddle. If I sell it locally as a...

    Negative Battery Cable/Battery Saver Active

    I wish I had some insight for you on the ac. On my Equinox, the manifold went for the third time a couple months after this... and then before I could even get it fixed, the transmission went. It's been sitting in my garage waiting for me to unload it somewhere. No way I'm putting transmission...

    2010 Equinox with gas smell at start

    Apparently this problem is common on these engines. I had an exhaust manifold replaced a few years ago and it cracked again within the one year warranty period so I got it swapped for free. I don't know about aftermarket parts - I'm mostly a noob who enjoys learning about what's going on and...

    2010 Equinox with gas smell at start

    Took some video of startup. I'm thinking the exhaust manifold is cracked AGAIN (third time!?). And I should clarify that the smell is not straight gas and not straight exhaust, FWIW. Would make sense that there's a smell and a little rough at cold startup if it's the exhaust manifold again...

    2011 equinox Lt key fob questions

    In the future, maybe this would help. I had great luck with an eBay guy who does keys for this generation Equinox. You buy the matching fob, pay for the cutting, and send him a couple pictures of your key. He cuts it and sends it to you and you do that programming thing where you turn to...

    2010 Equinox with gas smell at start

    Got a 2010 Equinox that often (though not every time) has a gas smell in the cabin at startup. Engine runs a little bit rough for the first minute or so and smooths out. No roughness when driving. No gas smell once moving. Smells more at cold startup in morning and less if the engine is warmer...

    Negative Battery Cable/Battery Saver Active

    UPDATE! I just snipped below where the connector corroded away, stripped the wire, and wrapped it around the nut/bolt where the connector was fastened. So far so good and no Battery Saver Active alert after a half hour of driving. Sprayed some battery terminal protector all over the terminals...

    Battery Saver Active Issue

    Thank you so much for replying. It got me thinking that there must be something wrong with the cable or battery current sensor since both the bigger and smaller cables have to go through that sensor. Went to look at at the negative terminal again and discovered my small/ground wire was broken...

    Negative Battery Cable/Battery Saver Active

    Replaced a dead battery last weekend on 2010 Equinox 4cyl. and since then, been getting Battery Saver Active warnings within a minute or two of startup. Garage couldn't figure it out as alternator is charging battery normally. I kept mentioning the crazy amount of corrosion on the negative and...

    Battery Saver Active Issue

    Having similar issue. 2010 Equinox 4cyl. was dead. Battery is 5 years old so replaced it. Starts right up... but after a few minutes NOW I get the Battery Saver Active warning sporadically. Garage checked everything, including alternator, and says it seems to be fine but they too get the BSA...
