Equinox LT

  • Automatic transmission
  • 150,000 miles

Well, it was frustrating not getting a definite fix for the "noise" that seem to be coming from the engine. I was told by the mechanic that my 02 sensors just need to be replaced, but nothing else seems to be wrong at this point.

Equinox LS V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 21,748 miles

Each time it's raining, I have a very loud noise coming from motor passenger side (intermittent depending of water accumulation on the road). The noise follow speed of motor even when transmission is on �N� position. Until now dealer is not able to find problem but it seem that I�m not the only one with that kind of problem. I think the problem came from the strap system or the alternator!!!. Somebody have a solution?

Equinox LS 3.2 V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 8,800 miles

When I went to the dealer to get my oil changed at 3200 miles my engine sounded fine.... actually very quiet. When I started the car when leaving the dealership I heard the noise. I assumed it would go away. It started getting worse with my next oil change. I asked the dealership and they said it was typical with this engine. I am not satisfied so I will be bringing it in on Thursday January 04, 2007. I will let you know what they tell me. I too get bad gas mileage in city
