I bought my Equinox new off the lot in 2015 to be my winter driving car. I’ve had it for 10 years, and have driven it 60 miles round-trip in some of the worst winter weather in the lower 48 states. The Equinox held the road well on ice, in slush, and in deep snow on days that I was on the road before the snow plows. It has always been reliable and has never left me stranded. I’ve had no major issues in over 107,000 miles. I appreciate the cargo space which is much better than the newer models. I regularly recommend Equinoxes to my friends and family.

We bought our 2015 Equinox 6/2024 with 83,600 miles. After multiple trips from Texas to Arkansas visiting family who moved there, in February 2025 we had 101,000 miles. That’s when the motor locked up on me at 8pm on I-30 in Texas with my grandkids in the car. Motor needed replacement at cost if $8-10,000. We paid $12,000 cash for the car. Not inclined to put that much back in it. Sold it for $1100. Big loss. We found that this is NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM for this car. Wish we had known. Kinda hard to walk to Arkansas.

The 2015 Chevy equinox was the WORST vehicle I’ve ever owned. Which is a shame because it’s such a nice vehicle, it’s affordable, comfortable and it’s a nice looking vehicle. However only about 4 years of owning it and around 90,000 miles the timing system took a dump and no mechanic is willing to touch that due to the common issue of it burning oil like crazy. I do not understand how Chevy could make a vehicle like this with this issue being so common, I just don’t get how they could be ok with it and screwing their customers over like that. Chevy people are loyal. I’ve been a die hard chevy guy for 11 years but I would never buy Chevy ever again. Don’t care what model, Chevy is not what it used to be.
