I 100% do not recommend anyone to buy one of these cars.The 2022 Chevy Equinox introduces a full model refresh for the crossover, with updates made to the exterior styling, the interior, and the powertrain. We have know 3 other people to have an equinox with the 2.4 liter engine and they have all also had the exact same problem. So now we are just stuck with the car and have to put about 3.5 quarts of oil in every 1500 miles. We tried talking to the company and they would not back the second engine. He couldn't find anywhere else that the oil was leaking so, after a long strenuous process of dealing with the company he got the engine from, they finally sent another one. The engine still used the same amout of oil. We took it back to the mechanic who then replaced the rear main seal. I checked the oil and it was about 3.5 quarts low after only about 1500 miles. We had a mechanic put one in and soon after the engine was making noise. It messed up the head and valves pretty bad and was going to be cheaper just to put a new engine in it. We got the car at about 75,000 miles and around 100,000 miles the timing chain broke when she was driving home from work. My fiancé traded her 2011 siverado for a 2012 equinox and it was the worst mistake vehicle wise that we have ever made. Don't really get your money's worth in the end.

Car looks good, has decent gas mileage but doesn't have that longevity other brands have. I've taken extremely good care of the car-no accidents, I have maintenance done on a regular bases, use higher quality gas and oil but in the end none of that even matter. I thought I'd get to 200k (or atleast 150k at a minimum) of shelf life before I really began having major MAJOR issues like I am now. I never in my life thought that I'd have to buy another car after less than 10 years with this one. I was told that it would cost $10,000 to fix. After a few thousand dollars in diagnostics and pointless 'fixes' that didn't even fix anything and several appointments through Chevy, I found that the timing chain was pretty much shot. Almost instantly (at 100,145 to be exact) I began having MAJOR engine issues. I hadn't really had any major issues UNTIL it hit 100k miles. It only had 8 miles on it off the lot from test driving.
