It is in fact quite slow to respond to the gears. However, in terms of acceleration, the 2011 Chevrolet Equinox is not thrilling enough. This influences the acceleration speed of the Equinox that makes it easily maneuverable. The 2011 Chevrolet Equinox comes with a front-wheel-drive drivetrain that is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Moreover, it provides the best value and comes with a wide range of options in order to facilitate smooth customization. It would be wise to opt for the 2LT trim as it is one of the most practical trims containing the standard advanced features and is quite impressive offering a lot more advanced and enhanced features than the base trim. The difference in the trims relates to the difference in the prices and the advancement of enhanced features as one moves up the trims.
2011 chevy equinox for sale series#
I would not recommend this vehicle to my worst enemy.The 2011 Chevrolet Equinox is offered in four trims: LS, 1LT, 2LT, and LTZ trims which provide a series of features and optional packages that can be customized according to one’s choices. The interior is spacious and comfortable, the outside is relatively unobjectionable, It has several higher end features like Satellite radio, heated seats, etc. The other minor issues I have had include random electrical gremlins that cause the auto headlights to come on randomly in direct sunlight, slipping serpentine belt that causes dimming of interior lights on occasion.
Burning over 2 quarts of oil per 1000 miles. To summarize, 2011 Equinox with a 2.4 L engine only having 58,000 miles has had the following major issues:ġ. This vehicle is now being traded in as I cannot deal with the sheer level of crap that is the 2011 Equinox. This repair was quoted at 600-700 dollars to replace an axle seal. The vehicle is still under the mileage for the powertrain warranty but past the time limit by 4 months. At 58,000 miles, the rear differential is now leaking. I refused brake replacement, another story, but it turned out that there was more than half of the braking material left and no need whatsover to replace the pads or rotors as we were quoted.
All told there was over $7,000 worth of work done. Upon vehicle inspection, they also "discovered" that the AC condenser was leaking and needed to be replaced and that the rear brakes were "metal on metal" and needed to be replaced. After (no lie) 12 visits to dealerships (one of which I refused to deal with any further as they wanted me to drop the vehicle off for the entire day for an oil consumption test), to monitor the oil level, they finally agreed to rebuild the engine (45,000 miles) as well as fix a transmission leak. Shortly after I noticed that the vehicle was losing oil quite rapidly and seemed down on power. This was repaired by the dealership under warranty. Immediately we found rust on the … bottom of the rear doors (at 38,000 miles). When I bought the car off of them, it was as if a self-destruct button was pushed. In the first 3 years of them owning the vehicle, they had to have several things repairs: Driver's seat, fuel pump/timing chain and some other minor issues. It was purchased off of my parent who bought the vehicle new. I have owned this vehicle for about 18 months.
And they said they did that because I didn’t cuss them out once while I was there. The only compromise they made, after I argued with them for over 2 hrs, was a $500 discount on my bill for a newly rebuilt engine. They basically put me between a huge boulder and a hard place with no wiggle room. They even tried saying I could default the loan I had on the Equinox, which would put a repo on my credit report, and they reran my credit score which made it drop 43 points! All to try and get me into a new car at $500/month. This recall, it ended up costing me over $1500! That’s even after the $3400 extended warranty covered $3300 of the job! And that was THIRD TIME it had been in the shop since I purchased less than a year ago. Never disclosed they never replaced the engine during recall, which had since expired.
