    Lower ride height

    4" is a lot to lower a vehicle. I suspect it will cause tons of issues with speed bumps, driveways on hills, etc. you may want to check out a low rider forum that will help you lower the car when you get in and out, but not while driving. Some type of hydraulics may be needed.

    Engine Air filter Question...

    Most independent tests say that for the very little, if any HP gain, it is not worth it. Especially with the filters that need to be oiled. But it is your decision.

    2018 Chevy Equinox Gas Mileage

    I would expect some type of financial compensation for an error like that. If you didn't catch it early, you could have done engine damage. I would try to get in writing what they did...just in case.

    Owner’s manual

    In thinking, when I traded in my '18 nox, I should have charged them $50 for including the owners manual.

    2018 Chevy Equinox Gas Mileage

    In the northeast, come winter, they switch to a winter grade of gasoline which has less BTU s and will decrease your gas mileage. Also, do you remote start your car ? That will decrease your gas mileage to zero during that time period. But you are seeing a huge decrease in mpg. barrios says...

    2025 AWD Equinox RS

    Because there is a 8 displayed, that does not indicate that you are driving in gear 8, it only displays that maximum gear that the transmission will be able to use.

    2025 AWD Equinox RS

    Guess I never watched the tach to verify. The 8-speed shifts so smooth, listening for shifts is fruitless. I have to watch the tach.

    Headlamps Randomly Turning On

    I don't think so it is receiving updates. You have an option set that will turn on the lights somewhat momentarily as long as you walk by it with the keys on you. Mine does that and it is annoying. I keep forget to look to see how to disable this "feature".

    Infotainment Replacement

    If you go to the dealer saying "I cracked..." the dealer will not cover it, but if you say you noticed that the screen is cracked, you have a pretty good chance of it being covered. It's all in the wording !

    2021 - Front end wobble ??

    I would hate to be the helper in. Bulletin 2. Run it at WOT, and held it with the brakes engaged, and then have the help loosen some bolts. Wow, OSHA would be all over this procedure. No thanks , I don't want to be the helper.

    2015 Chevy Equinox lost rear main seal because of no oil

    Did the brakes act odd before the engine died? If do, good chance that the engine is trashed.

    Sensitive brakes

    Since your wife is not complaining, I would suggest that it is the difference between a car and a truck. There will be a difference. If you drive it long enough, you'll get used to it, and then your wife will complain about the brakes on the truck. Sorry.
