2005 Chevrolet Equinox review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We have owned this piece of crap for 4 years now, and have always wished we hadn't bought it in the first place.
We just had to drop 2,000 on a new head gasket at 49,000 miles, which should not happen at this low mileage. We were told by the dealership that this has become a common occurrence on this model and year, but that it is not quite to the point where they will have a recall. We have received all the "we're really sorrys and I know this stinks... but" we can handle. If this is a known problem by GM and is not the fault of the owners, then why should we be held responsible to spend thousands fixing a defect?? I will never buy American again, and I really would like to.
