2005 Chevrolet Equinox review from North America
"No"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bought this 2005 brand new the first year they came out.
Sunroof wouldn't close after 1 year got it fixed and then it started to leak. My floor board was soaking wet after it rained. I took it back and they didn't fix it correctly the first time. Nice.
Weather stripping on the windshield down both sides just came off. They started flapping in the wind at different times while driving. Took it in and they are not covered under warranty and cost $332 EACH! For 2 small rubber strips. Seems to be a default to me. I have never owned a car where the weather strips just come off.
The interior paint is already chipping. And I mean everywhere. The silver along all the door handles is peeling, the black paint off the radio and a/c controls.
Anywhere there is paint it is chipping.
The visor mirror cover broke many times. I have had it fixed twice and just gave up after that. I would open it and it would just pop off.
I don't seem to notice this rattle that almost everyone has talked about. I am going to listen now for that. Other than that I love my car. Just seems it was cheaply put together which is actually scary when you think about it.
