    Auto-start-stop

    You can actually thank the government and the EPA for the auto stop/start feature, as it’s not a “GM” thing. As for the ability to disable the “feature” in GM vehicles, I’d agree that ALL vehicles should give the customer a choice as to whether or not they want it activated or not. My ‘19...

    Question for anyone who purchased a new car this year

    Seats stay at the setting I set them to if I set it manually; it dropped to the next lower setting until it turns off completely if I remote started it and I don’t mess with the setting.

    BLUE cruise-control indicator?

    I’ve never had the adaptive cruise disengage from acceleration of any kind. So far, only sunlight/weather, braking, and occasional shadow braking have caused the adaptive cruise to disengage. If the sunlight interferes, I simply turn off the adaptive cruise, and set the “normal” cruise...

    I had to buy one...

    Which version did you purchase? 2.0T I hope. I personally own a '19 diesel AWD Premier, and Love the mpg, just wish it had the get-up-and-go of the 2.0T.

    BLUE cruise-control indicator?

    I've noticed the symbol go blue if: 1, I step on the accelerator pedal with cruise control still engaged; 2, if the adaptive cruise control disengages due to sun reflection or some other reason that makes it disengage. It's designed that way so you know the cruise is engaged, but something is...

    Question for anyone who purchased a new car this year

    I notice in my ‘19 Premier, if I remote start the vehicle, the seat will automatically drop to the next lower setting, until it turns off completely. If I manually set the seat temperature, it stays at that setting. I haven’t paid much attention to whether or not it turns off automatically...

    2019 Equinox transformation to 2022 restailing model

    I believe the headlights are different for the 2022 MY Equinox… but it might be dependent upon trim level. Definitely do some research before buying parts

    WANTED: TECH INFO ON THE EQUINOX AWD SYSTEM

    I don’t have any scientific evidence, but at times, I can get tire squeal from my ‘19 nox when leaving a stoplight in FWD mode. I don’t get any squeal when I engage the AWD system in the same situations. Sorry I don’t have the technical knowledge you were hoping for, but maybe it will help you...

    Tire speed ratung

    I really don’t see the 6 mph drop as a big deal … but winter tires are not necessarily advertised as high speed driving tires. They’re built for a purpose and I’d venture to say that anything above 55-60 mph, they aren’t going to be much different than a highly capable all-season tire. I...

    MyChevy app diagnostic warning

    GM didn’t lie to you, the dealership did. If I stopped buying vehicles from brands because dealerships lied to me, I’d have to buy motorcycles or a Tesla.

    Auto-start-stop

    My choice would be to have a manual transmission in everything! My 6-speed G8 GXP avoided the dreaded AFM. My ‘18 Cruze diesel 6-speed doesn’t have AS/S. My ‘19 Equinox diesel has AS/S and I defeat it by using L and putting it in 6th gear. It really doesn’t bother me that much, but if it...

    MyChevy app diagnostic warning

    I just looked at the OnStar app for my 2018 Cruze, and it showed alerts for everything, except OnStar. While I was sitting in the car, ironically checking for codes, and the low battery warning (I believe the message on the DIC said battery saver mode entered) came on. So, did you by chance...

    Equinox 2018 - disable auto stop feature

    I've seen NUMEROUS posts about this on multiple sites for multiple vehicles ... and I'm always curious when I see people say "I was almost rear-ended" because when I take my foot off the brake, the engine is running by the time my foot hits the gas pedal. I have been in "dreaded traffic" quite...

    Auto-start-stop

    I haven't tried on my Nox, but in the Cruze, if you put the car in "manual shift mode" and leave the gear selected to the highest gear, the auto-stop doesn't work. If that doesn't work for the Nox, just lift your foot off the brake pedal long enough to re-start the engine ... and if you don't...

    Adding Fog Lamps

    Back in the day ... I was able to find a GM kit for my 2012 Cruze. The kit came with all parts, wiring, and new switch. I'd suggest looking around to see if GM offers the same type of kit for your Equinox.

    Driver Information Center went out completely

    I would contact your dealership, as they MIGHT be kind enough to help you out since it happened 1 day after warranty expired. If not, try pulling the negative battery cable off for about 10-15 minutes, re-connecting it, and see what happens.

    MyChevy app diagnostic warning

    Don't quote me on this, but I feel like this has something to do with your OnStar subscription and whether or not you've activated your free trial and/or are a paid subscriber. I purchased a CPO 2019 nox and if I recall, had some of the same "errors" pop up the first time I accessed the vehicle...

    Check engine code

    The saga continues… CEL on again 3 days later, code P0421 warm up catalyst efficiency bank 1 below threshold, so it’s at the dealership AGAIN! Most of what I researched on the web says O2 sensor. I did receive my monthly OnStar diagnostic check email, and it says low battery… so I’m wondering...

    Check engine code

    The dealership replaced the SCR injector, and thought they had the problem resolved ... but on the drive home from the dealership, the SCR light came on just long enough for me to read the DIC message, and it said 31,098 miles until max 65mph speed. WOW! That's a first. So, I have a feeling...

    Check engine light..erg valve?

    I think you mean EGR valve ... and it does seem to be a common problem. If you check the Cruzetalk forum, there are a few posts about that for the Gen 2 diesels (which I own one of those too) which have the same 1.6L diesel. I have begun to clean it up every oil change. When my Cruze was...
