2006 Chevrolet Equinox LT review from North America
"Scrap metal!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
10,000 miles brake work - shaved rotors
20,000 miles brake work - replaced pads
22,000 miles brake work - knocking sound
28,000 miles brake work - replaced rear drums
38,000 miles alternator
40,000 battery acid leak.
General comments?
I am extremely upset with the quality GM has input in this vehicle. My problem with my brakes is occurring again at 42,000 miles and looks like it is the rear drums again! Dealership says normal wear and tear or hit a puddle while hot. I guess I can't drive my Equinox when it is raining! Unbelievable! We should be looking into a class action.
