2005 Chevrolet Equinox LT review from North America
"I believe my comments just did the talking"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Daytime running lights burned out 2 weeks ago.
Front driver-side strut completely out.
Front wheels/steering vibrates when you step on the brakes over 50MPH.
Silver paint on interior trims starting to fade/peel off.. this includes buttons on CD player also.
Cruise control (resume/set) stopped working 2 weeks ago.
Car seats are almost impossible to keep clean.
Overheated for first week, but now OK after changing coolant.
General comments?
I use MOBIL 1 (synthetic engine oil) and the engine runs superb.
Excellent acceleration. Though the suspension needs more dampening to reduce noise.
Cheap interior.
Lots of interior space.
