2005 Chevrolet Equinox LT from North America - Comments

I have had a new head gasket at about 55K miles.

I have had a new ABS system installed.

I have had the rotors replaced or cut 7 times.

I have difficulty starting the car, even when its 100 degrees outside.

There is a persistent rattling noise on the drivers side.

When I made the decision to trade in my 97 Trooper for a 2005 Equinox, I was excited with my choice. I was certain that Chevy made a good truck.

Boy was I wrong! This Jalopy as I refer to it has been nothing more than trouble for me. Thank God for extended warranties! I spend so much time at the dealership, they should start paying me. But since I do nothing, but Bad Mouth Chevy, I guess I would not be a productive team member.

Prior to owning a Chevy, I drove an Isuzu Trooper and owed 3 Fords Prior to that. My company will only allow us to drive vehicles produced on Union Made lines, so I am stuck with either a UAW or CAW car... I will take my chances and go back to FORD... I averaged 135K on all of my Fords and had 196K on my Trooper when I traded it and never had the kind of trouble I've had with my 2.5 year old vehicle. Unfortunately, I have 2 years remaining to pay for the heap, otherwise, I would set this thing on fire!

Boy, that really sucks, having to choose between a Chevy and a Ford. Out of the frying pan into the fire! I'd tell your company that they can dictate what kind of car you drive the day they start making your car payment for you, or buy you one flat out. God forbid you get to drive something that's not a piece of crap.

I have just two questions. How on earth does your company have the right to tell you what you can and cannot drive???! If they do think they have that right, then why on earth would you continue to work for them???!!!
