    2020 Equinox LT

    We have the larger screen, 8" I think, and Chevy piled a lot of functionality into ours well beyond "just a radio". There's also like 17 modules in ours that can have firmware updates done by a dealer. If that is a real Chevy dealer then they can give you the entire history of the VIN regardless...

    2020 Equinox LT

    Is it the original battery? The dealer may have had the battery on a charger right up until you saw it. I just replaced the original battery in my 2020. The car started and ran fine but for the past several months the Auto Start/Stop would only work after a long interstate drive, an hour or...

    Great performance on 5k+ towed trip.

    Sorry, I'm not following. Was your Equinox towing a trailer or was your Equinox being towed by something like a motorhome? When being towed by a motorhome the maximum speed is 65 MPH, not 55 MPH (except you know, in California...).

    Engine cooling?? 2018 Equinox

    Is the engine actually running or is it just that the electric cooling fan is running for a while?

    Auto-start-stop

    And the verdict is...You're off the hook! :) Two days after replacing the 5 year-old original battery the Auto Start/Stop "feature" was back to its annoying practice of killing the engine at pretty much every red light. Today I installed the same cable you bought (small plug) and... - The Hood...

    Update on flat tow procedure for 2023 - 2024 Equinox - new guidance from GM

    Since the 2025 Equinox Owners manual (gas) says it cannot be flat towed you have the last of a kind. :(

    Update on flat tow procedure for 2023 - 2024 Equinox - new guidance from GM

    That should work fine. I just had my 2020's battery changed yesterday so I am very familiar with how all of that looks and is wired. :) The key is that there must be NO wires on the battery post where the disconnect switch goes except the disconnect wiring itself. BTW, everything on my 2020...

    Auto-start-stop

    OK, I ordered that one for my 2020 AWD 2.0L so you had better be right! :) I was torn because the original battery is just over five years old and the Auto Start/Stop rarely works anymore, usually just after a lot of interstate miles, so I figured the battery was getting weak. The coin flip was...

    Transmission Care

    Now I gotta go digging on the NHTSA site. I saw a GM bulletin there that discussed the color of the ATF fluid and what you showed in your pic would not have passed. The criteria, as I recall, was you needed to be able to pour some fluid into a glass jar, hold it up to the light, and see some...

    Transmission Care

    While that may be true it does beg the question of why my 2020 Equinox 9-speed has no scheduled interval for transmission fluid replacement in either mileage or time. "Severe" service is every 45,000 miles. I dunno...

    2020 Equinox LT 2.0 Turbo

    Per the Owners Manual the 2022 was the first one to get the button but it was supposed to go in the 2021. Please share a link for the one that fools the batter ysensor.

    long start time after flat towing

    So you have a 2023 or a 2024 Equinox then?

    long start time after flat towing

    What does this mean precisely? "before I could get it started" No problems flat towing my 2020 Premier AWD 2.0L.

    Transmission Care

    As follow-up, I took the car to the dealer for an oil change (because they are cheaper than the quickie places around here with the dealer coupons) and a transmission drain and refill. They also check the alignment on a Hunter drive-by system for free. I had them write on the work order that the...

    2020 Equinox LT 2.0 Turbo

    Please post the link to the one you bought so people will know to not buy that one in the future.

    Vacuum pump

    I was at the dealer a few days ago for some work and asked about vacuum pump failures. The service manager thought about it and said they had seen a few on Silverados but none on an Equinox yet. They are one of a chain of six Chevrolet dealers in this area and do a lot of work. I asked for a...

    2020 Equinox AC

    I've got a 2020 Premier. Back then, GM had a publicly accessible web site called TIS2Web where an owner could enter their VIN and look up all of the firmware (software) updates available. I just checked the link and it's now dead because it was "transitioned" to something called Techline...

    Turning radius

    While those stores do have their own private label brands that's not always the case. I got Michelin Defender 2's at Costco and the local tire dealer also sells them. My warranty booklet is from Michelin, not Costco.

    Turning radius

    Neither does mine. Even my wife likes it and she never uses cruise control.
