Have had my 07 Equinox for 1 month and 1 week and the area in the back where the spare tire is has filled with water more than once. Last night I was driving it in the rain and a very loud vibrating noise came and went as I was driving the entire trip. I took it to the dealer and they couldn't find a leak. I also found out that my bearings to my alternator are worn. Not very happy with my expensive purchase that is turning into more expense as I didn't get a warranty. Who needs a warranty on a 2 year old car? well apparently you need one on a 2007 Equinox. Very disappointed in my purchase.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Equinox. Ever since the vehicle was purchased, the contact heard a ticking sound in the engine compartment. He stated that the vehicle had poor fuel mileage. The contact also had to jump from the vehicle because the serpentine belt caught a wire that was not in a wiring harness as it should have been. The contact also experienced stabilatrac failure on two separate occasions, which caused the power steering to fail. He has been injured twice because the rear hatch door struts failed and struck him in the head. The tires that came on the vehicle were severely worn and the turn signals would not shut off. The two front doors and the rear hatch door cracks and makes squeaking noises. Some repairs have been made; however, the rear hatch needs to be repaired along with the ticking sound in the engine. The failure mileage was 170 and current mileage was 26,000.
