I bought my 05 Equinox new. It currently has 67700 mi. on it and I baby the thing. Back in March around 63000 mi I took it to the dealer and it needed new U clamps due to suspension problems. I know the suspension is weak, but it happened just after my car checked out great in the inspection and I had just gotten new tires. I got the new tires at Sams Club and I forgot to check about how they balanced the truck. Yesterday! I heard something under me (metal) break and spin around. I have to take it back to the dealer. I am thinking it may be a bearing in the gear box. I know others have had problems with that also, was it very expensive to fix? The dealer that I go to is an hour away and I'm not looking forward to making a return visit. I am ready to get rid of this thing so we can buy a Subaru. |

I'm considering a 2010 Equinox but was wondering what the average annual maintenance costs were. I've never had a Chevy before so don't really know much about them in terms of how often for oil changes, changing brake pads, scheduled service, etc. Or how much these things cost at the dealerships. Anyone willing to share?

Replying to: rsteller (Jul 02, 2009 3:32 pm) It was actually a recall but on the letter they ask the owners to do a homemade test to see if everything was o.k. We didn't have to bother about getting an appointment for this unless something was wrong. It should be repaired "no charge". About your light in your odometer....sorry, can't help.

Replying to: laserblue (Jul 02, 2009 6:03 pm) do you have a referance to this letter so that I can show it to the dealer? They want to charge me for a new resistor. Thanks in advance
