Also, the scope of refining the handling dynamics and steering pursuit is pretty much lively for this boxy SUV. On other hand, the optional AWD platform gives the excitement of higher traction that seems to be lacking in the FWD outplay. Pioneer Premium 250-watt 8-speaker Sound SystemĬhoosing the V6 does not only make the 2011 Equinox faster but rather allows you to tow 3,500 lbs too at the same time, that being 2,000 lbs more than that of the base engine, with an increment of $1,500 in your budget.

Memory Settings For Driver And Exterior Mirrors While the best among all of them is the LTZ edition with assets such as the Perforated Leather-Appointed Seats and Digital Music Storage for an MSRP of $28,570. I would not recommend this vehicle to my worst enemy.Pay $2,060 more than what you pay for the Equinox LT1 and you would rev the 2LT configuration that brings in Automatic Climate Control and Heated Front Seats. The interior is spacious and comfortable, the outside is relatively unobjectionable, It has several higher end features like Satellite radio, heated seats, etc. The other minor issues I have had include random electrical gremlins that cause the auto headlights to come on randomly in direct sunlight, slipping serpentine belt that causes dimming of interior lights on occasion. Burning over 2 quarts of oil per 1000 miles. To summarize, 2011 Equinox with a 2.4 L engine only having 58,000 miles has had the following major issues:ġ. This vehicle is now being traded in as I cannot deal with the sheer level of crap that is the 2011 Equinox. This repair was quoted at 600-700 dollars to replace an axle seal. The vehicle is still under the mileage for the powertrain warranty but past the time limit by 4 months. At 58,000 miles, the rear differential is now leaking. I refused brake replacement, another story, but it turned out that there was more than half of the braking material left and no need whatsover to replace the pads or rotors as we were quoted.
All told there was over $7,000 worth of work done. Upon vehicle inspection, they also "discovered" that the AC condenser was leaking and needed to be replaced and that the rear brakes were "metal on metal" and needed to be replaced. After (no lie) 12 visits to dealerships (one of which I refused to deal with any further as they wanted me to drop the vehicle off for the entire day for an oil consumption test), to monitor the oil level, they finally agreed to rebuild the engine (45,000 miles) as well as fix a transmission leak. Shortly after I noticed that the vehicle was losing oil quite rapidly and seemed down on power. This was repaired by the dealership under warranty. Immediately we found rust on the … bottom of the rear doors (at 38,000 miles). When I bought the car off of them, it was as if a self-destruct button was pushed.
In the first 3 years of them owning the vehicle, they had to have several things repairs: Driver's seat, fuel pump/timing chain and some other minor issues. It was purchased off of my parent who bought the vehicle new. I have owned this vehicle for about 18 months. And they said they did that because I didn’t cuss them out once while I was there. The only compromise they made, after I argued with them for over 2 hrs, was a $500 discount on my bill for a newly rebuilt engine. They basically put me between a huge boulder and a hard place with no wiggle room. They even tried saying I could default the loan I had on the Equinox, which would put a repo on my credit report, and they reran my credit score which made it drop 43 points! All to try and get me into a new car at $500/month. This recall, it ended up costing me over $1500! That’s even after the $3400 extended warranty covered $3300 of the job! And that was THIRD TIME it had been in the shop since I purchased less than a year ago. Never disclosed they never replaced the engine during recall, which had since expired.
