I have never encountered a problem with my vehicle. It is extremely reliable, performs perfectly, and takes regular unleaded gasoline. Passengers and the driver are comfortable, and the ride is smooth and fairly quiet. My vehicle is white with a tan interior, and has a moonroof.

Summarize great steering control and fingertip controls on the steering wheel.
It's a great car on highway and city. Highway we get about 28 mpg and around town we get about 18 mph. Very comfortable seating and the seat warmers are great. Cargo space is quite large but when the back seats go down its huge. The car handles great in all kinds of weather.

The two engines provide good power, handling is mix of comfort and poise.
The 2011 Chevy equinox is a good compact SUV. It has some of the highest composite crash test results in the class and excellent fuel economy. The two available engines provide good amounts of power, and the Chevy’s handling is a nice mix of comfort and poise. A long wheelbase gives the equinox a ton of rear-seat passenger room. Cargo space is decent for the class.

Chevy equinox- super reliable.
Extremely reliable in winter, moderate/high performance. Interior is spacious. Tons of room for passengers, trunk space is large for transporting items, the back seats fold for extra space. Safety is top concern, and this vehicle has high safety features that make you feel safe when driving. Even though it is an older model some things in the engine have been replaced. As long as you keep on top of the fixes it needs it will run like brand new.

Oil leaking and reading problems.
The car leaks oil because of the rear main seal. This is a problem with all equinox. The oil light does not notify when oil is low. The dipstick to check the oil does not work correctly. The car burns oil. All the problems have to do with oil. The end.

All- around good, spacious, comfortable, and dependable vehicle!
It is extremely smooth riding and comfortable to drive. It is amazingly spacious! It can hold its value well if it is well taken care of. It gets good gas mileage and all around runs really well. The problems I have with it are that it can be dented quite easy. So if someone opens their door into your vehicle in a parking lot, it is going to leave a decent sized dent. Hail damage can happen pretty badly to. So I guess it is thin metal. Other than that, I like my everyday driving vehicle a whole bunch!

2011 Chevy equinox burns oil.
The car burns oil more than others, especially when it is super hot outside causing the car to rev when in neutral or while idling. The transmission shifts a little funny and can seem weird if not used to that issue. Overall, the car is very reliable, but may begin to develop issues at 150,000 miles.

2011 Chevy equinox lt2 review.
The 6 cylinder engine is better than the 4 cylinder. The seats are comfortable and the car has a great sound system is great. I have bad yet to have any problems with the car itself but the remote start can be a little tricky. Bluetooth is also a little confusing in the car.

Plenty of room and smooth driving!! Great gas mileage!!
I love the comfort, drive and size of my vehicle. I get extremely great gas mileage and there is always plenty of room for guests to sit. I have a sunroof, along with all automatic buttons. I have a backup camera that is displayed in the rear view mirror, which is fantastic due to its wide range view!
Courtney D
on June 4, 2021
Family car - significantly easier with kids compared to a sedan.
It is a great car very reliable. The only issues I have run into are with the stabilitrak system lights coming on saying it needs service and the check engine light coming on. The seats in my vehicle are netted so they tend to leave lines on you if you are sitting in it for any length of time.
Julie A

2011 Chevy equinox review.
It's very reliable, our. Model does not have backup camera and it's hard when backing up. The front seats are fairly compatible. The back seat is not. The trunk area us very roomy and we like the fact that you can play the back seats down. Overall we are happy.
Rebecca C
on May 30, 2021
Safe, reliable, family vehicle.
The vehicle is a very smooth ride with lots of space for the family and to bring home groceries. When my husband was in a head on collision the car protected him deploying the airbags, alerting on star, and saving his life. I would definitely recommend this car to potential buyers!
Kim P
on May 23, 2021
The seats are comfortable and the body is cute.
This particular vehicle uses way too much oil, which seems to be the norm for this size engine in this vehicle. The throttle body seems to get gummed up too often. The wheel bearing also seem to need replaced way more often than normal. Gas mileage isn't what you would expect from a 4 cylinder.
Makyia H
on May 11, 2021
2011 equinox - very comfy and roomy!
No major problems. My driver window rolls up really slow, but I can get that fixed. I have head of oil problems but haven't had any myself and keep a close eye on it. It is extremely comfortable and the seats hug your body allowing for a comfortable drive especially on road trips. Engine is pretty loud and someone mentions it every single time I give them a ride. I don't really like the setup of the dash but the newer equinox's and beautiful!
Laurie T

Check into purchasing a Chevy equinox for the comfort and space alone.
It has very poor visibility but it is comfortable, gets great mileage and has plenty of room for everything you need. The storage room is great and the seats recline to a nice level of comfort. The car has been very reliable and has never failed me on a trip. I just replaced the battery and alternator and have bought two sets of tires. Has 80,000 miles.
Brianna R
on May 8, 2021
Best car especially for long trips.
My Chevy has been very reliable I have had gotten it from a family member and it has give me minimal problems. Any problems I did have were from an outside source and were an easy fix. The vehicle itself has nothing wrong with it and the synthetic oil it uses means that I can wait a bit longer before needing to get a change. Not mention the fuel last a long time. All in all this is definitely a vehicle I would recommend to those who are looking.
Serena G
on May 7, 2021
What's wrong with 2011 Chevy equinox.
The car itself is spacious and comfortable. There are certain issues this particular vehicle is prone to and it seems the 2011 model has them all. The ac does not hold a charge. The serpentine belt needs replaced at 90,000. Even after getting an oil change engine has a tick like its low. And the ride is not smooth you feel every bump on the road from it having a poor suspension. Backup camera is not accurate it shows objects further than they are which had me hit my own garbage pails.
Theresa H
on May 6, 2021
Excellent small family vehicle for day to day or those outdoor adventures.
I experienced first model year warranty issues and recalls but these have all been taken care of not at my expense. It is comfortable for short drivers with long torso and short legs. The back seat is comfortable for multiple adults in long distances. Newer model years have addressed any of the nuances I didn't like such as rear seat not folding flat and no latch to fold from the back. I will be purchasing another equinox when mine finally gives up the ghost.
Brittany C
on April 10, 2021
Great car. Very dependable.
I love my Chevy equinox. It's great on gas mileage, sturdy, and good in the snowy weather. I feel safe driving it at all times. It runs well with long drives. I have had it for years now with not a lot of problems. The window sticks sometimes but other than that it is a great car.
Toby Y
on April 10, 2021
The Chevy equinox will not be purchased again in the future.
Can't see out the rear of vehicle. Too heavy takes too long to stop not enough power engine needs to be bigger, can't program the stereo. Headlight go out constantly. Always having to change them. Changing the headlights is a pain. To access them you have to go through the wheel well.
Lily G
on April 6, 2021
Chevy equinox ultimate comfortable and luxury car.
The Chevy equinox is very fuel efficient and I love that about it. It's great to travel in and comfortable. I see it as a semi luxurious car because of the not real leather look it has beautiful red trim with the black seats. The back seat reclines and my kiddos love that. I have a few cargo options behind the backseat on the roof or to pull a small uhaul with the hitch. The performance of this car is unbelievably incredible.
Karen S
on April 4, 2021
My Equinox helps me navigate through my daily life.
There was a major engine issue that consumed excessive oil. The test / proof phase was a pain but Chevy fixed it free of charge. It is comfortable and drives well. There is a slight blind spot at the rear corners. I like how the rear seat adjusts forward and back to give more leg room or more cargo space. Overall I would recommend the Equinox to others and would look at it for my next car.
Mary A
on April 3, 2021
Reliable with a few minor issues!
The car has been reliable with no major problems. I do not get near the mileage stated on the sale sticker, was 26 to 29 I only get 21 miles per gallon. Some things are cheaply made, the back wiper brakes easily and the rubber on the blade doesn't last long, the fake silver wrap on inside door handles are peeling off.
Alexandra H
on April 2, 2021
Every car has its problems but I love my car!
The air vents are only in the back so it takes a while to cool down the back seat which stinks, I've had a few problems with the transmission and oil consumption but I fixed those at the dealership. My vehicle now runs great is very roomy and has a lot of great safety features which I love. My sons bulky car seat fits in the back seat perfectly with room to spare the leg room in there is amazing and trunk space is the best
Jesse P
on March 31, 2021
2011 equinox has its ups and downs but overall a decent vehicle.
Problems with the air. Shift lever gets stuck. Replaced pistons. We've had to have Chevrolet replace over $6,000 worth of repairs all stemming from the manufacturer. The car does offer a decent amount of room and the back hatch is nice. It also does a fair job of handling night snow which is a huge help living in Michigan.
Kira B
on March 31, 2021
It gets the job done. It's a good family size car and it gets me where I need to go relatively comfortably.
I like the size of it and the fact that it's not too big or too small. I like the small SUV size and it's comfortable for me to drive. I like the XM radio which I listen to all the time. This make/model has had engine issues though and it is very sluggish. I'm worried every mile that I put on it that it's going to die on me.
Whitney B
on March 30, 2021
Good family car; one drawback.
I enjoy the size of the Equinox and it has been a good family car. It has been reliable and has space for what we need. The one thing I dislike is the lack of air vents in the back seats. Our children get hot in the summer back there. Otherwise; it has been a great vehicle.
mike m
on March 30, 2021
Chevy makes a good mostly quality car but all companies can not be perfect
The riding is smooth and comfortable the size is good for our job for commercial cleaning that's the good things. But it cost too much to repair I have a air conditioner compressor out and a heater vent problem that too high to fix now
Tenisha S

I like the car so far. Pretty easy to maintain. Does not take a lot to fill up.
Pretty good so far. Just got it. Rides smooth. A/c works. Nice size. Good on gas. I love the color on it, grey. Security alarm works just fine. I dont really have much to say on it as yet, I haven't had the vehicle for 30 days yet. So far it's good..
Kaylyn C
on March 26, 2021
Reliable, spacious, comfortable.
The only major issue I have is it consumes a lot of oil and I have to have an oil change more frequently. I love the space, and feel of the drive. It is reliable, and great on gas! I love the remote start, and I have Bose speakers which make listening to music amazing.

I love my Equinox - it has good gas mileage and is just the right size for me - holds 4 comfortably, 5 max. I use it to haul things a lot - so I love the room in the back. I did have a problem with it using too much oil, but the dealer found it was covered by a recall and fixed the issue.
Reliable midsize SUV with good gas mileage - love it!
Kimberly G
on March 26, 2021
You seen one Chevy SUV you have seen them all.
Just bought this car about 2 weeks ago, having no issues to date, cannot complain, thankfully heat works, inside is more like our old terrain than the Equinox we traded it in for but so far so good, wish it had a little bit more room but take what you can get and afford around here.
Emma R

My white night was an extraordinary car named Chevrolet Equinox.
My husband purchased a 2011 Chevrolet Equinox lt a few years ago and what struck me was that it was a Chevrolet. I didn't see that coming at all but when I finally drove it I understood why. It was the smoothest ride I have ever had in a vehicle. The comfort I felt as I sat in the cushioned seat that enveloped me with ease. He bought the car for his Uber driving job that he signed up for as something to do after he retired. His riders constantly questioned the make, model and style of the car. (the seats warmed me up on those cold mornings in Kansas city). The acoustics were also in play because my husband would play jazz CD's while driving. This made the ride even smoother, and relaxing. He still owns this car and even after going over 100, 000 miles it still performs like a new car. I hope to acquire this car and get him another or just buy my own. The unfortunate down side to the car is that it burns a lot of oil, other than that it is the best car that I have driven.
Naeem S
on March 24, 2021
Chevy equinox the new minivan of future soccer moms everywhere.
The engine parts get gunked up a lot causing the engine to perform poorly. Need to change oil every 3 months and perform other regular maintenance frequently. The voice is a good fit for me as I am 6'5'. The mpg is good for the vehicle which is one of the main reasons I purchased the vehicle. The best features about the vehicle are the Bluetooth connection and satellite radio capabilities.
alison S
on March 23, 2021
A comfortable car but a bunch of issues.
This model has had issues with the engine and transmission. When the engine died Chevy did replace the engine with a brand new one but it only qualified for a rebuilt transmission. There was also a problem with the motor for the wiper blades that was fixed by Chevy. Please know that rust is developing on the bottom of the doors and tailgate.

The locks are in middle everything works for. The middle.
I love my truck. The only thing that I would change about it is that I wish it had a sunroof and a 3rd row seat.. But other than that I love that it's all wheel drive and that it's easy on gas. And I love the tinted windows and the child lock. I love that the seats fold down... And the hatch back. The air and heat work great as well.

My Chevy Equinox Basic Review
One of my favorite features is where the backup camera is located in the 2011 Equinox. The back up camera is placed in the rear view mirror which is very convenient for me. I do not like the blind spots on the front sides, they make turning difficult. Overall it's a great car that handles and drives well.
Toni C
on March 20, 2021
It is comfortable for long trips and has good gas mileage. Overall, it is a good family vehicle.
I like the gas mileage and the comfort. I do not like that we had to replace the transmission last year and I feel it is somewhat unreliable. I would like a somewhat bigger vehicle, too.
Dana M
on March 19, 2021
There is no real interesting thing about this car.
I owned a 2010 Chevy equinox and it was an excellent car did not break down nothing I went to a 2010-2011 equinox and every other month I have had some major mechanical problem with it the seats are very uncomfortable it has blind spots like you cannot believe and it is just a car I would never purchase again because of the issues.
Kristen C
on March 19, 2021

Equinox is a reliable truck. I have not done any major repairs to the vehicle.
The Equinox is a reliable, family vehicle. It is big enough to haul 5 passengers but small enough to drive alone. Equinox is great on gas mileage and because it is a Chevrolet, it is definitely dependable.
Nancy L

Lemon. Many issues with this vehicle.
All but one notices received that describe things that might go wrong have gone wrong with this vehicle. Biggest issue has been with the engine, several repairs have been needed. I do not feel this vehicle is reliable. It makes odd noises at times when starting it and sometimes does not start on the first attempt.
Steven G
on March 13, 2021
Reliable vehicle that comes with a few features and issues.
It had an oil burning issue that Chevrolet honored fixing, but it was not because they contacted me. It only occurred because I looked it up online because I was told my car model was prone to that issue. It gets horrible gas mileage at 120k miles. It is comfortable and I am glad the mirror is high enough I can see under it. A huge design flaw is that you cannot see cars coming on your right because the thickness of the material that leads from the dash to the rook is wide enough you can miss an entire car coming up to a sign or driving in front of you. It can be dangerous. I like the lt features like the back up camera and electric seat, mirrors. The heater mirror option is a huge plus for me. The radio Sirius - was nice to have while I had it. I miss it. The OnStar capability creates extra security for me. I have daughters and want them to be safe.
Cameron C
on March 13, 2021
Parts are not super expensive- and one of the most comfortable cars I have had.
The catalytic converter became faulty a few years after use, other than that it is been very responsive and adjustability of seats are wonderful, and make you feel the level of comfort you desire, weather it be uptight and alert, or more laid back and relaxed. On top of the seat warmers and coolers.

The 2011 Chevy equinox continues to be reliable and fuel-efficient.
My car is a 2011 Chevy equinox with 176000 miles currently the check engine light is on and the car vibrates at idling signifying that the engine mounts might be loose. The windshield wiper linkage is detached and they are not currently functioning. There is some back left and damage with the light cracked and the bumper damage from a rear-ending collision.

The snowflake button does not just stand for ac it means cold conditions!
I love my vehicle its dependable and reliable and perfect size for me and my two boys. There is plenty of room for us and their hockey gear. Everything feels very comfortable and goes good thru the snow, I am not a big fan of the traction control seems to catch when it's bad timing. Also note the air conditioner snowflake button stands for cold air in general not just your ac. The light on the button comes on when its cold out!

The best car I've had for a 25 year old mom.
My car is a 2011 Chevy equinox it has sonic features and is great for children it also has wireless DVD screens behind the driver and passenger seat with wireless headphone included as well also a good trunk space and roof rack. I love this car and the tech it has in it. I also can use manual shifting and gets great gas mileage.
Nikki W
on March 9, 2021
Horrible make, cheap parts, not worth money nor time.
Recall on burning to much oil, same parts keep going out even if replaced. This year model is just over all horrible and do not recommend to anyone. I have had this car for two years and I can barely drive it without something going wrong each month. If you love these cars get a model between 2015 or newer anything below is not worth you are time nor money.
Crystal N
on March 6, 2021

This has been a good and reliable vehicle.
I do not have any problems with this vehicle. It runs well, and has held up over time. The clearance is a little low, but I haven't had a problem with it. The car has heated seats, leather interior, air conditioning, radio, Bluetooth, sunroof, and many other pleasing amenities.
Connie P
on March 4, 2021
I hope they have improved the Chevrolet equinox.
This vehicle leaks oil and I have to add it weekly. We have had several problems including cracked exhaust, excessive rust and had to replace all wheel bearings. I also do not like that I have to take it to the dealer to check/add transmission fluid.
Bey A
on March 4, 2021
The problem with this car.
It has had many issues and I have had to put a lot of money into it. The engine has had the most problems with a current problem being with the engine belt. Also the engine is very loud. Other than the technical problems the model has a very sleek look to it and it is a nice size.

Dependable and amazing Equinox’s.
I really love my car! The gas mileage is great, and it was really dependable. I like the radio and air conditioning control. I do wish that when my phone was connected to Bluetooth, it would play music, not just calls. Instead, I must plug my phone in, but overall this is a great car!

It gets decent gas mileage.
I love the comfort and size of my Chevy equinox. It has more room that the older models had. Drives well. A downfall is the oil consumption. You have to remember to check your oil more regular than most vehicles. I have read that this is a popular problem amongst this Chevy equinox. Have also had issues with the throttle body in both if the Chevy equinox's I have owned.
Destiny J

Alexis A
on February 24, 2021
Do not recommend this vehicle for anyone.
Oil consumption issue. Transmission issues due to oil issue leaking into tranny fluid. I wouldn't recommend buying this car. There was even a lawsuit vs GMC for this car. Do not waste your time on this one. It is not worth the headache and aggravation. Look elsewhere for something without all these issues.

Equinox family car for anyone.
This is a great family car. It's a midsize SUV. Has a decent amount of trunk space as well as room for car seats easily in the back seat. The heated and power seats up front are nice to have. This car has a backup camera as well. At 130000 miles I have had no issues with this car. It is AWD which makes in nice for year round but still gets decent gas mileage. I think this car is great for anyone who wants something bigger than a sedan but still good fuel mileage.
Erin L
on February 12, 2021
I love that there is a door lock button by the radio controls.
I really enjoy this vehicle, I do drive a lot and the car has a lot of miles and it takes it very well. I also have little ones and car seats in the back fit perfectly. I wish there was a little bit more room but that's just me being picky. Features are all up to my expectations.
Erin R

The best car I have owned by far!
Extremely comfortable car, lots of room for new moms, haven't had any issues with the car. Amazing radio system, love the phone Bluetooth so I don't have to touch my phone if I get a call. Heated seats are a must for me and I love that it has it. Car warms up super quick in winter.
Joshua L

Class action recall for piston ring wear.
I bought this vehicle cash, and from about 3 weeks after I bought it things started falling apart. At this point there is a recall for excessive oil consumption, the defrost doesn't work and it's just not very comfortable. I'm not happy with my car at all.
Sheridan G

Definition of reliable and logical
The Chevrolet Equinox is a wonderful car! It rides smooth and offers many up to date features, even on older models! The gas mileage is beyond expectations and the car is comfortable to ride and drive. The only issue is some of the sensors are quirky and set things off when, in reality, nothing is wrong with the car.
Amber N

2011 Chevy equinox great car drives great but has some flaws.
I love how my vehicle drives and the gas mileage I get. However when I bought my car used 6 months after having the car the engine blew up. I had to have the engine replaced. Since having my car I have had to replace the alternator starter, and radiator. I love the look of the car, the interior, the space that it has inside, and the trunk space is great.

Love my 2011 Chevrolet equinox.
I have been driving for over 50 years. I have always gotten new car fever between 2 & 4 years after buying a new car. My current car is a 2011 Chevy equinox. This is the 1st time ever that I haven't gotten new car fever. I had the larger Chevy traverse before I downsized & this car rides just as nice as that car. It feels sturdy & safe. The next car I get will probably be my last. I am just waiting for the right color to come out & then I'll get another equinox. The only thing I'll add is the automatic lift gate. It is got tons of room & is very comfortable to drive. Living in WI the winters get bad & my car has all-wheel drive & I have no trouble driving in inclement weather.
Amy R

It is American, it was made in the US, and the money stays in the country.
I like that is it is made in the united states. I like the room it has in the backseat. I like the SUV part for groceries. I like that the seats go down for bigger items.

Chevy equinox performance over power
None for problems drives great and runs great decent gas mileage and awesome looks. Comfortable to ride in and good handling for the most part if u are looking into to buying one you will not be disappointed I promise you that. As far as power there isn't much but it's not a race car

2011 Chevrolet Equinox Review
I like the cargo room in my Chevy Equinox, we were able to fit an entire sectional from IKEA in the back. The backseat has plenty of room for passengers. The power steering module needed to be replaced right around 20,000 miles, but no problems since then.

My thoughts on my Chevy equinox.
It is very reliable. Rides smoothly. Comfortable. Good stereo system. Everything in the vehicle was custom, including heated seats, moon/sun roof, automatic windows, locks and headlights. I like the controls on the steering wheel. It seats 5 people very comfortably.

Movable back seat to allow more room in the backseat or in the hatchback.
The Chevy equinox is a great family car. There is plenty of room for carrying around sports equipment, groceries, and much more. The car is extremely comfortable and reliable. There was an issue with the pistons in the 2011 equinox but Chevy stepped right in and took care of the issue under warranty. Since that was done, I have had no other issues.

Great drive, decent mileage.
Overall I really enjoy driving this car on a regular basis. As far as SUV-sized cars are concerned, it has decent gas mileage. I have a more basic model, so there are not a lot of extra features, but it has a great back up camera! I have 3 energetic boys and there is much more space in the back of the equinox than in previous vehicles I have owned, so car rides can be a little less stressful (or loud!).

Visibility, especially when backing up
I don't like the visibility, especially when trying to back up. Mine does not have a backup camera.

It drives great and is fun to drive.
The equinox is very deep which makes it difficult to reach some of the cubbyholes. It is roomy and comfortable. The passenger seat is very uncomfortable.

It's a decent cheap vehicle but i wouldn't buy it if you don't have to
The vehicle gets me from point a to b but i'd never buy another one ever again. It's constantly needing work to be done. It's not made well.

2011 Equinox not a very reliable transportation car
Purchased new, I have had several issues with the car, fuel gauge repair, all wheel drive unit replaced, AC repaired and water pump replaced

It was cheap and it is easy on gas.
It seems like there is just one problem after another with this car. I am putting 1-2 quarts of oil in it every single week even the days after an oil change. It quits randomly. I had to have a new engine put in less than a month after purchasing it.

Have to change the oil or add more before next scheduled oil change.
It's the perfect size for my family of four, I love the trunk space. It drives good, we bought ours used and think it could have been, driven hard we'll probably need a new transmission soon, we have also noticed we have to change the oil or put more in before the scheduled oil change.

It gets great gas mileage for a SUV and a perfect car for a small family.
Love the size and the way it drives. Hate that the backseat doesn't have much air to circulate.

The Chevy equinox needs huge improvements.
The Chevy equinox burns oil terribly and I have to take it in for oil top-offs every few weeks. It has also had multiple recalls, some of which never resolved the problem. There are no air vents in for the back seat passengers. I will not buy another Chevrolet.

Everything is amazing. I love it. Great mileage. Lots of room.
It is amazing. Lots of room. Ac gets super cold. Heat gets super hot. Comfy. Good mileage. Runs good on gas. Does not have a lot of issues. Barely in the garage. Love it. Love it love it. I recommend everyone getting one. Whether it is a rental or not.Yes.

Good vehicle, honest prices, not pretentious.
Not having the four wheel drive option, and now living in the Colorado Rocky Mountains required me to get all weather tires to comply with traction laws. Have not had oil consumption problems but am aware that there is a recall for this issue with the 2.4 liter four cylinder engine.

Its four wheels. I try to be thankful for what I got.
Rough sounding engine. Rusting a the door seams. All doors. I've really not had much issues so far. My car only has 72000. Time will tell.

Love this 2011 Chevy equinox, smooth ride for the whole family.
I love my equinox, it handles wonderfully the drive is so smooth, the speaker quality is great if you love music, we have heated seats and a remote start engine which is great for cold mornings. No problems thus far, but I love that it's American made which makes it cheaper to fix when problems do arise from old age. Love this car!!
