RyM3rC Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 A friend says she can get dealer cost on a 2013 Terrain. Total junk? Anyone have one? She just wants a smallish SUV with lots of gadgets, will be moving to Texas so doesn't really need to be great in the snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallard Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I have an Equinox and it's been good. A few small things bug me but haven't had many issues. Only major problem is the chain driving the water pump broke and the car overheated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig71188 Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Our sales guys have had Equinox's since the current platform came out in 2010. The 2.4L 4 cyl had issues the first year prompting a "secret" memo about free inspection/replacement for "excessive oil use". One year issue only. Or guys regularly drove these things 120K-150K in three years with little more than oil changes and a set of tires. Good gas mileage (26+ mpg - granted mostly highway), but they were comfortable and quiet enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Our sales guys have had Equinox's since the current platform came out in 2010.

Good gas mileage (26+ mpg - granted mostly highway), but they were comfortable and quiet enough. Well it's no secret anymore, and I've done pistons in 2011 and 2012 models with the 2.4 so it's not limited to one year. They replaced engines until they realized they could get away with new pistons and rings. Loose balance shaft chains, and camshaft actuators were also issues on the earlier ones. The V6 has less issues but is a bitch to work on, I have a 3.6 with 120k on it tore down right now as a matter of fact, sludge build-up (easy to get with GM's oil life monitor) and spun 4 rod bearings before it locked up. All I see being a dealership tech is broken ones so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Most of the issues have been resolved, and buying a new one with a warranty to fall back on wouldn't be bad.
