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.

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 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.

@frenchiesottises81932 жыл бұрын
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.

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

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.

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.

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

If you mean the car is over heating then check the head gasket.

I have a 2005 Equinox with a rotten subframe here in Michigan. Inspect any used car first before you buy.

Same here in Ohio, my 2005 only has 73,000 miles is this worth repairing? I love my car, lots of memories and she’s been so good to me otherwise.

2008 at 132,000 miles water and oil mixed. Ran hot with all of that I think the head gasket or pistons went bad. Having an engine install now as we speak. 😢 I will stay away from Chevrolet products going forward toooo many issues from reading the comments. Lexus or Camrys for me. Blessings!!!!❤😊

Just for giggles; what manual RWD transmissions share the same bell housing as this engines bell housing? Or, what designation does this engine's bell housing have?

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".

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

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.
