Had to put 3k into this equinox I bought in May 2014. I find out from the dealer that the starter was faulty due to an 8 year old battery. Costs me good amount of money to replace starter. GM really should get their act together amid all of their recalls and issues over the last 7 years. They should really take care of loyal customers like me. I have been raised to buy GM and this is unacceptable.
