![]() So far, the Ford is proving to be a much more reliable and better performing vehicle, although we still need more time to be assured of that. **UPDATE: Sept 2020** Sold the 2018 Equinox. As such, with our experience, cannot recommend the (2010 or) 2018 Equinox. Will not remain loyal to a company that significantly fails at producine a quality product (no car should need a new engine 45,000 miles, let alone 1,400 miles) and a company who doesn't take care of loyal customers when an issue comes up. As such, determined that we were done with GM. In fact, in the past 8 years we had purchased 3 brand new Chevrolets (model years 2010, 2015, 2018). and each of them were not old, low-value vehicles. At the time, had 3 Chevrolets in the garage. ![]() Reminded them of our two decades long GM loyalty. Shocked, I challenged that all the way up the GM chain. Because the vehicle was 8 years old, however, GM advised us that we would have to cover 80% of the $7,500 engine replacement cost. The second factor occurred a month later. That was the first of two factors that turned our GM loyalty upside down. Once the vehicle was examined by the dealership, they informed us that it needed a new engine (under warranty, of course). Unfortunately, no! With only 1,400 miles on the odometer, vehicle completely died as we were on the highway driving to a family reunion. Back to the 2018 Equinox purchase decision, since several … years had passed and the vehicle had been completely redesigned, figured that all engine issues had been fixed. Rather than turn in the 2010 Equinox as a trade-in vehicle, decided to keep it for our college-bound daughter. Being a loyal GM customer, went ahead and purchased a new 2018 Equinox. Bought a new 2018 Equinox as my wife liked the 2010 Equinox that she drove (even though we had a lot of oil consumption issues with that vehicle).
