    Tires, Tires, Tires, which ones?

    My 22 RS came with the Kinergy GT Hankkooks. Great performance, quiet, good in rain but wore out super fast. I have @ 35,000km (@22,000 miles) on them and will be needing to replace them very soon. Since these tires are about $400 CAD each, I won't be getting them again. I always had the best...

    ABS on my Equinox Premier?

    I too was afraid to test the AEB. Then in a parking lot some woman decided the stop sign was not intended for her, and it worked! I agree with SteveK, I love the adaptive cruise and use it all the time. No worries about slowing down, the car does it for you. Even comes to a complete stop if...

    Rattle

    I read elsewhere that someone found that the plastic trim on the top left side of the dash was not fully clicked into place on his. Perhaps that is worth checking? This is the plastic surrounding the heads up display of 6 red LEDs for the Forward Collision Alert. He simply pushed down all...

    2024 Equinox RS Heat concertn

    My 22 RS has a similar issue. The colder it is outside, the higher I have to crank up the temp. Of course the dealer doesn't see the issue as it is never cold enough when I take it there, and if it was, they wouldn't be on the highway like I am. It's warm enough so I just live with it. I did...

    What is this part called?

    My 22 RS also has no sign of this. Perhaps it is/was on the front side of the fender liner? The fact that you are missing 2 plastic retainers and pins suggests that. Except there are no markings around the holes to show that anything was once there? Hmm, still a mystery

    Blind side warning lights

    if your rear bumpers are dirty where the sensors are, or covered with ice or snow, you will get this until the bumper is cleaned or cleared from ice/snow/mud etc. The SBZA is part of the LCA system. Here's what it says in my owner's manual, you may want to check your manual to see if it is the...

    2024 Equinox AWD Vibration at 35mph

    Actually they have a 1.5. The 1.4 was used in the Trax, among other cars.

    19" Factory Rims

    Always a good idea to rotate regularly. So you know, my tires have been rotated every oil change since new. And they still wear like crap. My Michelin X-Ice snows have more miles than the Hankooks, yet they are not wearing nearly as fast.

    Turning radius

    I wouldn't think so, as the mechanical linkage, rack etc should be the same as if it was not electric. Maybe, but I kinda doubt it

    Hello All new from Austin Texas

    Assuming you have a 4 cylinder, search for info on oil consumption issues. A lot is due to the PVC system being blocked. There is a vented oil filler cap that is supposed to help, as well as clearing the PVC blockage. I think that entails removing the intake manifold.

    19" Factory Rims

    I have 19s on my RS and am impressed with them. There is a VERY slight stiffer ride, as compared to the 17" snow tires/wheels, but that's no surprise. The handling is excellent and I was surprised the Hankkok Kinergy GT's were so quiet and worked great in the rain. I heard a lot of negative...

    Turn Signal alert if signal not cancelled

    I see no mention in the owner's manual. I am fairly certain my 2013 used to have this, but there is no mention in that manual. Why do I still have the 2013 manual, 2 years after I traded it in? For times like these LOL

    Turning radius

    I immediately noticed that the turning radius on my 22 RS was not as tight as my 13 LT, ever since I first tried. Smaller car, bigger radius - who woulda thought?

    Connected services

    I would think you could go to your MyGM account and reset it.

    Sd cameras and recording

    Agreed and I also am looking at dashcams. I was hoping someone would find a way to get the onboard cameras to record - 5 freakin cameras and we need to get a 6th (or 7th if going with rear facing dashcam). Actually I've seen some that also add an interior camera. If my wife wasn't so old, maybe...

    Sd cameras and recording

    There is no built in feature to do this, you would need to engineer a solution. Or, buy a dashcam

    Where is my Google Maps?

    I think you may need to start Carplay from the main menu on the Infotainment display - ie, home screen. I use Android Auto and have to manually launch it. Then again, I have built in Nav, so if I hit the Nav button the Nav app opens. With Google maps and Waze these days, I don't know why they...
