2006 Chevrolet Equinox LS review from North America
"Very nice car, runs good with its new engine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine cracked and burned a cylinder, causing the engine to need replacing (covered under warranty).
The key switch sticks in the start position.
Both problems have been remedied.
General comments?
The car runs really good, and always did (even with the burned cylinder).
Engine was replaced with factory Good Wrench engine, and now performs flawlessly.
Stereo system is really good.
Don't care for the seat materials, but they don't seem to stain badly like other say.
I love where the shifter and window controls are placed.
Overall, I think this is a nice car.
Everyone is always relaying these horror stories about dealing with General Motors; the man that we spoke with was very helpful and respectful.
