6/17/2023 0 Comments 2021 equinoxIt’s no surprise to Chevy that the Equinox struggles with the powertrain. We liked the punchy 2.0T offering, but for 2021, buyers are left to make do with the 1.5-liter offering that, while torquey enough, is muddled by a transmission always reaching for its highest gear.” The Equinox pushes and plows through corners and ride quality is unimpressive, especially on higher trims with larger wheels. “On-road performance is disappointing, as well. Even the top auto publications are speaking out. You don’t have to be a driver of the Equinox to know just how faulty this SUV is. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,000. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BONIFACE HIERS CHEVROLET (800 S HARBOR CITY BLVD, MELBOURNE, FL 32901) WHERE THE MECHANIC DISABLED THE INTELLIBEAM FEATURE IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE INTELLIBEAM HEADLIGHT FEATURE CAUSED THE HIGH BEAMS TO ENGAGE AUTOMATICALLY. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2021 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. Here is an actual complaint logged with the NHTSA regarding 2021 Chevy Equinox Electrical Problems: The company could start by working on something from earlier days – such as Fred Flintstone’s car. Maybe Chevy should go back to the basics before attempting to add in today’s modern systems. NHTSA Campaign Number 20V811000 states that the wrong bolts were used with the seat belts, causing it to fail when restraining an occupant. Considering that the Equinox already has a recall because of the wrong bolts being used with the seat belts, it’s no wonder that high-tech features don’t work right. After all, these advanced safety systems require precision and skill to create effectively. When it comes to building the Equinox, Chevy has a lot to learn. The ‘lane keep assist’ can be turned off but must be deactivated every time you start the vehicle, another reason I wish to remove the front camera entirely as I do not desire the subtle steering wheel impulses while driving on snow and ice.” Have yet found a way to remove the front camera to disable the most annoying safety features. Most can be permanently deactivated but the “auto start/stop” requires more effort to permanently deactivate. One review states, “the ‘advanced safety features’ are annoying more often than not and they will go off simply because a car in the opposite lane passes you. However, customers are complaining about the technology this Equinox provides. In today’s modern vehicle, it’s expected that the SUV would come with the latest bells and whistles. One of the two powertrain issues resulted in a minor accident in which no one was injured.
