We have an 08 AWD model. Got it with 88000 miles on it 5.5 years ago and currently has 224,000 miles. Very few issues, mostly wheel bearings needing replaced. No engine or trans problems at all. It's been a super-reliable vehicle for us.

[@preston2462]

Have a 08 with 286k miles only issues I’ve had was the head gasket going at 260k, burns about a half a quart of oil a week other than that it’s been a great car

[@ruley73]

It should be noted that the transmission issue you discuss is only applicable to the 2008-2009 Equinox Sport/Torrent GXP with the 3.6L engine and 6T70 6-speed automatic transmission. All the other models with the 3.4L engine came with an Aisin AF33-5 transmission which is very reliable.

[@skankcore808]

Sweet.....thanks a whole lot! (Thinking of buying one...you made my day!) 👍🤘

[@ruley73]

@@skankcore808 As long as it's not rusted out it should last a while. We've had our 2007 Equinox LT FWD since 2008. It has 210k miles on it and still shifts like new. There are four other noteworthy trouble spots on these. 1) The brackets attached to the front brake hoses rust from the inside out, crimp the hoses, and make them act like a check valve which causes the calipers to hang up. I replaced the front brake hoses almost three years ago for this issue. 2) The radiator fan motor connectors develop a bad connection with age. If not caught and addressed promptly, they eventually overheat and melt which prevents the fans from turning on. I believe this is the root cause of what many have reported as "head gasket issues." I needed to clean up my connections a couple times over the years because the fans stopped running, but haven't needed to replace the connectors yet. 3) The EGR valves go bad and cause a check engine light along with a service stabilitrak warning. Ours is on the 4th EGR valve. 4) The last of these vehicles rolled of the assembly line 13 years ago. Time appears to have taken a toll on the heater cores. There has recently been an uptick of videos posted about replacing them on these vehicles. Ours just started to leak earlier this year. I've put some GM stop leak pellets in it which seems to have helped for now.

[@badazz2969]

The aisin is bullet proof mine has 415k and it's just now slipping from 2nd to 3rd but still takes me to work everyday you just gotta let off and let it shift then she's sprinting the 3.4 is og to it's still very peppy

[@ianb.1603]

I just bought an '07 LT AWD, that's in absolute mint condition with 151k for $1500 CAD. Only issue was the SRS light on, and was an easy fix. Just tightened the pins on the module and sensor plugs. Good to go.

[@frenchiesottises8193]

We have an 06, and it probably doesn't matter cause of it being a year difference, but another possible problem for hot air in the AC is your fanning system. The system is wired oddly, and by that, I mean the system has a third relay that isn't in the actual fuse panel, but under the driver side headlight and bolted to the frame. If you're someone who has problems with controlling your engine temp, the little fan, which is loud, comes on too often, and/or the big fan seems to never work, and the AC is doing that thing where it only seems to run cold when the car's moving, the ultimate problem is the third relay located on the car's frame. That relay not only helps control the big fan, it's also a ground for the other two. When it goes out, not only do you have problems with the big fan not working, but it puts more stress on the little fan, causing the relay for that fan to burn out prematurely. Another thing too, a lot of mechanics don't know about this. All relays and fuses are expected to be on the fuse panel, but it seems the poor car's engine had a last minute installment. If you have this problem, let your mechanic know about it. If they ask why, just give them a simple explanation and ask them to check for it. Our mechanic didn't know and he was awesome enough to work with us to find it.

[@hnicoletyler86]

I have a 2006 Chevy equinox lt and currently it won’t start up after replacing the catalytic converter, head gaskets, and new spark plugs and wires.

[@glendareeves2317]

I am on my second 2008 Chevy equinox. The AC and heat in both cars both gave me problems. The AC in this LTZ was having issues. We checked the fuses first and then had to replace it. Charging the system with Freon only temporary really helped, but the car kept saying it was overheating when it wasn’t. The fan fix helped. Also I can tell you we had the same check engine light And it was the gas cap air in. Great video

[@MakoFcr]

Well , I have one since new 2005 and don't have any problems with the suv , only 4 times in mechanic , for repalce suspension , alternator and mantenance , the best vehicle I have , and I use it to tow boats I abuse it a lot and it never stop working , but I live in tropic it does not snow here

[@HFVidShotz]

We had an '05. I had to replace the starter. A few other issues I don't remember. Told my wife, had I realized the '05 was the very 1st model year, I wouldn't have bought it. My wife loved the thing. It was an okay vehicle. Eventually sold it to a friend, I think they still have it. They've had a few more problems with it than we had, but have enjoyed as well.

[@scooter8187]

The worst and strangest think is the factory paint (maroon) peeling off in the large pieces. Seems to be an issue with some but not all of the maroon ones of this era. Also, the Stabilitrak light being on is a constant struggle on our 2008 Equinox. Various issues around that. Otherwise, it's been a decent car mechanically with 165K miles and still going.

[@redddogg7497]

I realize it's been a year since you posted, so you've probably fixed the problem, but when I had the check engine light on with EVAP codes, the cure turned out to be replacing the charcoal canister (after everything else was tried, of course).

[@tonysarrio8940]

I have a 2005 Equinox with 237,000 miles on her. She still runs good. The only things I had to fix was a rusted freeze plug behind the water pump at 235,000. I put a new water pump on it and a new main seal gasket while I had it apart. Of course oil and brakes.

[@greenspiraldragon]

You forgot the issues with the ABS.

[@chritters1]

Yes the dreaded ABS/Traction Control Light, Replace the ABS Wiring Plug usually passenger side

[@dirtyp2099]

Man my 2008 equinox is having that same problem with abs lights and service traction control and stabilitrak. I replaced egr valve. Didn't work

[@jsdt25703]

I've got an 07 with 250k on it. Thankfully the only issue I have is the left side of the instrument cluster went out. Other than that it's been one of the best vehicles I've ever had.

[@Micelii]

Def a good ass car if taken care of

[@warreneverett1085]

My 07 has 230k on it the only major problem I had was the transmission.

[@MawMawsGirlz]

Hi. I was interested in your comment and was hoping that perhaps you could help me. I have a 06 Equinox and it’s due for tags but I keep getting a P0641 and also a P0455(evap/gas cap ?) code. I have 187 k on my car and it’s in mint condition but I have honestly put 2k into this car over the past year. I’ve put an entire new braking system into this car due to continuous sticking calipers!) My question is, did your Equinox show a P0641 code when your instrument cluster went out? Thanks and sorry for such a long comment. God bless you ❤️

[@ihaterz123]

I’ve had my 05 til now.

[@muffs55mercury61]

Have almost 190,000 miles on my '05 and very few problems so far. Have only changed the front struts and the water pump. AC compressor bad (clutch makes buzzing sound) so I've just learned to live without AC. Front bushings still tight, knock on wood.

2 other VERY common problems on the early Equinox/Torrent/Vue were blown head gaskets, and broken heater blend doors.

[@supertacticalgamer3076]

I just done a heater core on my dads 2009 equinox, it was the most labor intensive job I have ever done on a vehicle, and I have done lots, The heater core was $80, and I can see why a mechanic would charge $1000+ labor easy, it requires removal of the entire dash, steering wheel and gas/brake pedal assembly, as well as some bolts and hoses under the hood against the firewall, the job took me 15 hours, if i did it again it still would easily take 10 hours, horrible design for access and repair, the ac condenser is also located under here as well.

I have a 2007 Chevy equinox. I love it never had a problem with it until recently. My key gets stuck in the ignition. It won’t allow me to turn to lock and remove the key It gets stuck in acc position. The other problem I have is when putting my car in drive the doors automatically locked now they don’t. My instrument panel also always reads my passenger door is open and rear door is open. It’s not open either. When I used to push the lock button on my key fob, my car used to honk now it doesn’t. The horn does work though if I push on it. I’m hoping it’s just a sensor or something easy to fix myself. I wish it was a recall. Please reply if anyone knows what the problem is or has had this problem also, I also don’t know if they’re all related problems or separate ones

Where to start with this vehicle. My wife bought this 05 equinox brand new ( Now driving 15 equinox) and drove it for 10 years. Now its my headache. Currently third engine due to overheating. On Previous engines i had so many parts replaced it probably was close to the price of the car in 05. Key/ ignition problems. AC problems. Front tires wear out every 8 -12 months. Water accumulates through rear hatch by spare tire because of bad gasket( dealer replaced it) ,i ve replaced all 4 window motors,the infamous 3 clicks sound that nobody seems to know what it is, and more.

I have a 07 equinox I also had a overheating problem wound overheat at idle. The fix was the thermostat. What I didn’t know that there is a 180 degree thermostat and a 195 degree one. I replaced to the generic brand 195 degree and it still overheated and blew coolant out of the fill reservoir. But I had no leaks anywhere else. I replaced again with AC Delco 180 degree and hasn’t overheated ever since.

Have 07 equinox. Got it. Previous owner took all the hoses to the heater core off. And took a hose and tried bypassing it. Uh no go. Got it. Took hoses off a donor. A transferred them to mine. Was doing good. Then one day got a hot. But coolant was normal. Hmm replaced the thermostat. Well, I added one to it. The guy before deleted the original one completely gone.But I replaced it and that didn't work. Well I read about burping the coolant system. So I got the no spill parts for the gravity fed coolant overflow. Got the bleeder valve and hose. Wow was alot of air bubbles. And after it ran good, for awhile. Then it started getting hot again. So I reburped it. And it was good again...for awhile. Keep repeating burp, then good. Then hot,burp and good. Not working. I Can't figure out what is going on. Have wrote on several equinox videos and forums that others having same problem. But nothing. So do I throw in the towel or does anyone have any ideas? Because I would wipe a toad on it and stand on my head if I thought it would help. (Joking) lol

Is this a good truck

I have a 2006 Chevy equinox that when I start the engine it starts fine, but after 10 minutes or so it dies. I wait a while, I start the car again after may be five minutes or so, It dies. sometimes after 15 mins it dies? I took it to a mechanic, He couldn’t figure it out he told me to take it to the dealer. Mechanic said that it seems like a computer issue that I would have to take it to the dealer. I called a friend they work for Chevy dealer for several years the first thing that came out of his mouth was: “don’t take it to a dealer” He said take it to a smog place or muffler shop?? Any ideas?

clean the intake manifold. Easy to do. If a shop does it they can adjust the computer. Otherwise, you will have to drive the car for a week for the engine to relearn how to run "carbon free".

$4500 in repairs for that $2800 old car. Problems solved!

[@tt-nm4yj]

[@ashleygreener6977]

I haven't really had many problems with my 2008 and one problem with my 2010

[@Coywolfie]

[@ruledbysaturn]

The first gen equinox is a steaming pile of crap. I know because I have one. What a horrible, horrible vehicle.

[@michaellarcom]

Well if you changed everything besides the master cylinder.. if you have a bad master cylinder it'll hold pressure for very little time and let go

[@mannymartinez7571]

Hey Mark, its more than likely your front brake hoses, same thing with my 07, brakes stayed on, Change brake hose both sides in front and you'll be good to go, don't forget to bleed your brake lines after you install.new.hoses.

[@michaelducat1586]

I have a 2009 Chevy equinox and the modulator is going on in the power steering where is it located at

[@AAA-oz3be]

My 2007 is located under dash drivers side. You have to remove the panel to see it. Seems to be another equinox problem.

[@colbolt54]
