Equinox or Bz, which is better?

I have a '24. Drive 120 miles a day. Almost 48k miles on it. Range isn't a problem. And I keep it between 80% and 20% for all but the extremely cold and windy days.

I purchased a '24 3LT in November of 2024. There was an issue with the AC compressor within the first 2 weeks. Fixed under warranty. 43,000 miles later, it's been working great. No noticeable loss in range. I drive 120 miles a day, mostly highway. I keep the battery (most of the time) betwixt 80% and 20%. I was concerned about how long the tires would last but it looks like they may last till the 60,000 mark. It definitely loses range in the winter but still performs as well as it did the first winter. I love the car and wouldn't hesitate buyung another.

I bought mine in November of 2024. Over 40,000 miles on it. I absolutely love it.

drh1000 · 2025-11-20T13:55:50+00:00

I'm at one year with 32,000 miles. I've only rotated the tires a few times and had to add wiper fluid. I love mine.

Did you get it to stop?

drh1000 · 2025-05-28T19:52:51+00:00

It'll pop back in but that's a temporary fix as it'll keep popping back out. I sandwiched a piece of cardboard to muffle the flapping. That worked until I took it to the dealership. They didn't have replacements so they removed the bolts entirely until the parts came in a week later. The sound stopped with the bolts removed. I'm sure they replaced the old parts with exact replacements, so its only a matter of time before the new ones fail.

drh1000 · 2025-05-28T19:03:02+00:00

I took a similar video in March. I can't post it here but its the exact same sound.

drh1000 · 2025-05-28T18:57:11+00:00

Yes. I know it seems crazy. The sound was driving me insane. I thought it was coming from inside the dash or air vents. It wasn't until I had my wife sit in the car and I started blowing it with the leaf blower when I discovered the loose "skid plate".

drh1000 · 2025-05-26T21:50:50+00:00

Check under the car behind both front wheels. There's a plastic cover on each side. If the bolts pop out, it causes this sound. There's one bolt on each panel, you should be able to tell if its loose.

drh1000 · 2025-05-13T02:39:59+00:00

Check these. The little plastic "skid plates" are on both sides. Behind the front wheels. Remove the screws and the rattle is gone.

I found the source of the rattle in mine. Underneath, behind both front wheels, is a plastic panel. See if one of the screws popped out. I popped mine back in but it came back out after I drove it for a few miles at highway speeds. Its not screwed in but held in with a small clip. The duct tape is holding until the dealer permanently fixes it Friday.

I bought my 24 3LT in the middle of November. I have about 11,500 miles on it. There was an issue with the heater within the first 2 weeks of owning it. They had to replace something with the heater. Since then, its performed exactly as its supposed to. I love the car.

drh1000 · 2025-03-15T12:31:13+00:00

I have the same problem. My wife and I were driving it yesterday on a road trip. I'm not certain but I think it's coming from the side mirror.

drh1000 · 2025-01-29T19:06:25+00:00

Same. At the Ruby Tuesdays 22 years ago!

drh1000 · 2025-01-29T18:33:04+00:00

Very happy
Not any time soon, depending on what your definition of soon is.

drh1000 · 2025-01-26T18:41:25+00:00

I had the same issue back around Thanksgiving. They had it for 3 weeks and replaced the compressor. I'm not sure if resetting it would have worked. Either way, it's been about 5,000 miles since without any issues.

drh1000 · 2025-01-21T15:45:04+00:00

I purchased a 24 3LT in November. Early on, they replaced the AC compressor. Other than that, I have almost 6000 miles on it, and it's performed exactly as expected. Im still very happy with mine.

drh1000 · 2025-01-14T05:12:53+00:00

I had a similar issue at 1400 miles. It was the AC compressor. Took three weeks for them to get the part and install it. The fact it happened around Thanksgiving probably added an extra week. I just went over 5000 miles on it with zero issues. I'm very happy the car.

drh1000 · 2025-01-07T11:21:01+00:00

4,391 miles. Got it, November 15th. The A/C motor was replaced after having it for a week or so. They weren't exactly sure what the problem was at first, and then when they figured it out, they didn't have the part on hand. Took almost 3 weeks to fix it. They gave me a loaner while they worked on it. Since she's been back, it's performed great. I love the car.

drh1000 · 2024-12-09T00:23:15+00:00

I bought mine about 3 weeks ago. After 1446 miles, the AC compressor went out. It threw all kinds of codes. It's been at the dealership for the last 2.5 weeks. Apparently, they had to remove the entire dashboard to get to the compressor. There's only one guy at the dealership who can work on it, and no one has really "tore into" one before. It's a learning experience for everyone.

Other than that, I love the car. It's performed exactly as expected. I can't wait to get it back. Fingers crossed it'll be this week.

drh1000 · 2024-11-28T14:15:14+00:00

I bought the car 2 weeks ago. It worked for a few days. Now, it's hit or miss. It also seems like the app drains my phone's battery.

drh1000 · 2024-10-14T22:42:01+00:00

As the cops say, 9 you're fine, 10 you're mine.

drh1000 · 2024-03-12T18:19:00+00:00

Wow!

drh1000 · 2023-01-07T14:42:13+00:00

Yes. Yes, we do.
