What owners wrote
Hit a one ton low bed dump truck, the whole front end of my SUV was demolished, my airbags didn't deploy and I ended up with really bad whiplash from the accident, to where I'm still in major pain! Wondering if there was a lawsuit against this? Never dealt with a wreck this bad, I was just curious!
Same as reported below, ABS issues, ignition switch, over heating, water sound in dash, blend door issues. Only have 80k on car but problems surpass value. Why are there no recalls for equinox?
