  1. 2014, owned 2 months, been in shop now 4x!!! Warranty covered first 3 issues but now, what you explained in # 4 issue in the video, the check engine light came on as well as "reduced power engine". Drives ok, but when coming to a stop it wants to die. Very similar to what it did the 3rd time it was in the shop but apparently now they say this is a sensory issue not covered on the 2 warranties. I already know they are full of it & sold me a pretty lemon, but now I have to pay $390 for a sensory problem less than 2 months after purchased & 2 weeks after dealership had it fixing a very similar issue….wish these people were forced to fix the problems they knew the car had. It is not okay. Sorry for the rant…good video was hoping you spoke of my issue & you did…curious if I was told correct on pricing but thank you for your videos!!

  2. Did anyone have a problem with their cruise control on Nox? I was going 40 ish through Atlanta and then once I was out of Atlanta traffic cleared out (2 am) and then increased my speed ( interstate driving) by using the up button on CC and it jerked and sped up more than I pushed up the button, but then I also was pushing the CC down. I ended up going 92. The cruise never acted like this before. Was this a user problem, or did those things mentioned for cruise control get mixed up? I just had the windshield wiper motor repaired. Please help. Edit: V6 LT 2013.😢

  3. You forgot the windshield wiper ball joints going out at any time. The good news is that it's covered by a recall that I did not receive but was repaired free of charge. Edit: 2013 V6.

  4. I have a 2012 chevy equinox lt and every time we stop it starts to jerk back and forth. I have changed the throttle body, the Intake & Exhaust Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve, 4 ignition coils and spark plugs and changed the oil and it still shakes. I also tried to reset the computer doing the 3 minutes on, 30 seconds off and then on again but still shakes. I am not sure of what else to do.

  5. I have the .4 its a piece of junk.Bad rings on the pistons and the pcv system is crap the gasses flow thru a 3/32 hole which cloggs all the time.

  6. I have a 2013 Chevy equinox with the 4 cylinder. After driving it input the car in park and turn it off and it has a lot of run-on or dieseling. Any ideas on a fix?

  7. I have a 2010 chevy equinox and I have changed both of those sensors and the crank shaft position sensor,and my vehicle is still showing the p0017 code

  8. We owned a 2011 and it was one of the most reliable cars we ever owned. However, we had to trade it because of oil usage. I changed my own oil at 5000 miles with M1 but it made no difference. GM said going by our VIN number, our car didn't fall into the category for piston replacement even though it consumed a quart every 1200 miles.

  9. Is a 2012 Chevy equinox 2lt AWD a decent car ?? I’m thinking of buying it because it’s not super expensive and has low miles but I want to be absolutely sure because I don’t make a lot to make huge repairs 😭😭 the issues he said in the video seem pretty easy to overcome but I still don’t know

  10. hi , i have a 2012 equinox 3.0L awd whit 160.000 km love my car only thing a change it wheel bearing and rear shock ,.but i do my oil change evry spring and fall no matter the km i did ,.and i dont do much lol ,.but after 150 ,000 km i change all the iol in the transmission , transfer case and diffenciel and now i got transmission problem it dosent shift right i re- check oil level was find ,.? now im thinking it maybe the selenoid shifter in the transmission that do not work properly ????

  11. The Nox 2.4l we had was on its 3rd timing chain with 68kmi… Brutal. Chain stretch was such an issue. Sounded like a bucket of bolts when the chain is stretched chain whipped against the timing cover.

  12. My equinox has an idle problem. Only when you start the car, revs up to 12-1300 rpm then down to 800 and stalls. Sometimes rarely at stop lights. No problems at all while driving.

  13. This video is spot on.. I recently replaced the Intake and Exhaust solenoids and during the oil change, noticed an oil leak. I got under and cleaned things up to see where it was coming from. It seemed to be coming from the EXACT spot you pointed in your example. Thanks…

  14. I have a 2016 chevy equinox ltz awd and this is the third time I have changed the vvt solenoid P0011 and its still has a check engine light on what else could be the problem that's tripping this code ?

  15. GM lawsuit only covers 2010-2013 Equinox. It's bs because the problem is an epa minor hazard really and for that reason alone it should be covered no questions asked up 120K to adjust for it by the time owners hear about it

  16. I own a 2012 chevy equinox ltz and I have a reduced power message I took it in they said that it’s the body control module I don’t have 5,000$ dollars I live with your videos so I can find the problem and fix it please can you help me understand what is wrong.
