2012 chevrolet equinox1/5/2024 ![]() ![]() Every 2012 Chevrolet passenger car, light-duty truck, SUV and crossover. Don't really get your money's worth in the end. Equinox presents Chevrolet MyLink, a new technology available on 1LT2 and. Car looks good, has decent gas mileage but doesn't have that longevity other brands have. Watch the options, as the price can very quickly hit the 30k mark-and if youre getting the V-6, for an only. I've taken extremely good care of the car-no accidents, I have maintenance done on a regular bases, use higher quality gas and oil but in the end none of that even matter. The 2012 Chevrolet Equinox remains the best value in LS or LT four-cylinder form. I thought I'd get to 200k (or atleast 150k at a minimum) of shelf life before I really began having major MAJOR issues like I am now. I never in my life thought that I'd have to buy another car after less than 10 years with this one. I was told that it would cost $10,000 to fix. After a few thousand dollars in diagnostics and pointless "fixes" that didn't even fix anything and several appointments through Chevy, I found that the timing chain was pretty much shot. Almost instantly (at 100,145 to be exact) I began having MAJOR engine issues. ![]() I hadn't really had any major issues UNTIL it hit 100k miles. It only had 8 miles on it off the lot from test driving. Hard to rationalize getting a Chevy again to myself. Problem is my Honda Pilot has 155k miles and never has given me a problem. I want to stick to the American Makes of car. My 3 year old was in the car one of the times the power steering stopped and I can’t imagine how that felt to my wife. Because my other was also a 2012, but I’m not risking my money, time or the safety of my family to “give Chevy a chance.” My wife won’t even sit in the car anymore and I can’t blame her. I’m assuming the year of the Chevy is just xxxxty. After going 0-2 with the last two chevys I will stick to a brand that has at least some kind of reliability. I was a Chevy only kind of person at first. But, now you’re a little late for work or you have to wake up super early, just to make sure the car will work and then you are super early to work or let it sit in the driveway running. ![]() Have to sit and wait about 30 minutes and try again which does work sometimes. Now when you start the car occasionally (once a month or so) the car starts and shows the power steering failure message. We took it to private mechanics and they found the same….:nothing. We took the car to a Chevy dealership and they could find nothing wrong. This could have been life threatening, luckily the roads weren’t busy at the time. The second time it took 2-3 restarts before the power steering worked again. We had to stop, pull over and restart the car which fixed the problem the first time. We have had two instances driving that the power steering failed. The car has given us trouble since the first week we had it. We bought a used Equinox 2 years ago with less than 40k miles on it. ![]()
