[QUOTE="GreenGoose, post: 23543, member: 8718"] I just bought a 2025 Equinox Activ last week, and yesterday morning I decided to push the steering wheel in to have more space while I ate a sandwich during a break from work. I released the lever below the wheel but it wouldn't budge. I locked it back in place and lowered it again and the steering wheel wouldn't move. I gave it a strong push and it moved down while making a grinding sound, like setting a parking break. It's now stuck like that and with the lever back up, the lever itself now is loose when pushing up, like it's broken. I don't like the steering wheel this low and the dealership looked at it and said they'll need it for about three to four days. Booked appointment next week (earliest they had). I can do drive it just fine, but there's just a wee bit of give up and down. Just wondering if this is a common defect. Only had about 300 miles on it. Wondering if this will be a long repair or not. I paid all cash for it so I wouldn't have a car payment, now I'm going to have to get a rental. [/QUOTE]
