Equinox, problematic vehicle from gm???? - 7/25/2007 8:38:54 AM    The01Cav   Posts: 12 Joined: 7/13/2007 Status: offline My mom purchased a 05 equinox and man what a piece this thing is being. It has a rear end groaning noise to it which I think is the rear diff. Already been in to have a pinion seal replaced. She started it up and went to back out of the driveway and it started to make a popping sound out of the throttlebody. Sometimes it likes to keep cranking once it's already started and running. Needed new pads and rotors after 15,000 miles. Whats up with these things???? _____________________________ 01 Cavalier Indigo blue metallic Post #: 1
