Losing antifreeze
Chevrolet Equinox 2005 114000 miles
I have a 2005 equinox, about 2 months ago i noticed liquid on my driveway (just Little spots) so i took it to mechanic, could not find anything so kept driving it then when i left it running for about 10 minutes while i went in to store, came out and my dial for hot was way over so i shut it off for about 10 minutes took it back to mechanic who said i needed new intake gaskets , he did that and charged me $300, then about 2 weeks later car got hot again and i pulled over called another mechanic and he said it was my wáter pump and thermostat, so that cost me $353, now today when i was driving… Read complete

My 08 equinox sport v6 3.6 has 128000 miles on it and it is sputtering at low n high speeds and up hills especially n when I turn left it makes a weird noise it all seemed to happen at once...I have seen where it could be spark plugs for the sputtering or way worse transmission...I loved it until this I really can't afford any mechanic work right now...frustrated to no end n I spent a lot on the vehicle when I bought it...it's too low of miles to have all these problems...wish I would of known all the problems with these before I bought it...these days tho all cars seem to have major issues 😏😡

Possibly throttle position sensor or bad fuel filter? Have heard others with similar issues fixed by replacing sparkplug wires

CommentCoolant temperature sensor
Chevrolet Equinox 2014 2.4L 136000 miles
The temperature gauge stay showing cold engine even with the car running. And then the gauge starts reading the temperature again. When this happens the AC stop working. I replaced the coolant temperature sensor (genuine Chevrolet) but this problem is still happening.
Coolant leaks
Chevrolet Equinox 2012 85000 miles
Coolant leaks just once in awhile. Doesn't leak when I'm driving it and no warning light comes on. Ran errands yesterday , no leaks got home and couple of hours later I went out and coolant had leaked out...the last time this happened was about 2 months ago. The hoses look good.
