“2005 Equinox bought used in 2007at 35000 miles-I was confused why someone would trade such a new car in-brakes continue to wear down-ignition had to be replaced,car would just die going down the highway-car almost feels like brakes are being applied when I take my foot off of the gas-tires that I bought 1 year ago are wearing out-”
NHTSA complaint #10360246, filed 2010-10, 43,000 miles“While traveling to work on highway 100 east bound in md. My 2005 chevy Equinox started having vibrations in the steering wheel. I was traveling in the number 2 lane on a 3 lane highway when the vehicle then pulled me to the left. I counter steered to the right and the vehicle pulled me into a hard left straight into a guard rail. I could not control the vehicle after it pulled me to the left which resulted in my crash into the guard rail and another car hitting me afterwards. …”
NHTSA complaint #10346034, filed 2010-07, 77,000 miles“Replaced tires on my 2005 Chevrolet Equinox with only 11,000 miles. Prior to this, I had to get an alignment however, the tires still went bad. After I purchased my new set of tires, I went back to have them rotated after there recommended miles of 5,000 and the tires are wearing again. I had less than 18,000 miles on it this time around. I can not afford to keep replacing tires every 5,000 miles. The garage told me that they had replaced the tires on several more Equinox that same day with just about the same amount of miles as mine.”
