2018 Chevrolet Equinox

noise

There is very little engine or road noise.

but there is a slight rattle that we have not been able to resolve, and the engine has a high-pitched noise at times in 20-45 mph range.

After the first 4 or 5 months it developed an annoying vibration at speeds about 30 mph, felt like driving on a bumpy road at lower speeds, a vibration at freeway speeds.

Both lift gates rattle when u reach 60 mph.

The trailer hitch cover will not stay on even after it has been replaced with a new one and car has rattles that they try and fix every time we carry it in.

it's very noisy, when I driving it I hear some noises from dashboard and doors!

My only complaint is a strange noise every once in a while driving highway speeds every once in a while a fluttering sound comes from under the car ?? ?

Compared to it, the new model is noisier (wind & road noise),  noticeably smaller, not nearly as comfortable (horrible seats) and a very plain instrument panel.

windshield

Bad blindspot on passenger side looking out windshield.

Fuel system replaced, back wiper and numerous system/fuse issues.

It reflect light and makes driving with the wipers on, regretful.

I dont like the head lights  very very unsafe at night you can not see the hole road looks like some one pulled a black curtain down half way down the windshield half of windshied is black was told by Don halls chev can not fix them

Windows fog up quickly and have to change to windshield only.

Heated steering wheel n if you are too close to the car in front of you a red warning sign shows up on the windshield.

brake

but I would avoid anything more than a rough and rutted dirt road, since the approach, break over and departure angles seem sketchy and there’s no locking differential either.

Car rolls when put in park and brakes are released forward and backwards depending on the pitch of the road car leaps off the line when  i am at red light and release the brake to engage the auto start it drives off in the forward direction unless i very quickly depress the brake pedal

Have 70000 miles on car and now broke down motor gone due to vacuum pump for brakes failing

Horrible car with roughly 40,000 miles my wife was driving it and out of nowhere she lost all breaks couldn’t stop coming to her exit, she pulled off after finally getting it to stop turned the car off and wouldn’t turn back on.

Hate the engine shutdown crap at red lights, I just pump the brakes .

I like the fact it shut off when I brake, to dave gas.

shifter

Also, who puts a rocker switch as a manual gear shifter on the transmission handle?

Just one thing, the gear shifts could be better positioned.

failure

Have experienced so many mechanical failures that either should never have happened or shouldn’t be happening so soon in the vehicle’s life.

but after the vehicle already failed us and had to be trailered to the dealership because it died in my driveway and we could not turn the vehicle OFF.

comfortable

Front passenger seat not that comfortable.

For a first SUV, it’s got a comfortable ride height and great handling.

Would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for comfort style and gas mileage!

Came out of a Jeep Wrangler and the equinox is such a smooth and comfortable ride.

but once she fixed that and was able to get the seat where I could feel comfortable!!!

There's plenty of cargo space, comfortable room in the back, good handling and quiet to drive.

This equinox is more comfortable and rides excellent on the road with lots of features much better than the 2010 equinox I used to own

This car provides comfortable ride and plenty of room for groceries and other goodies.

Beats the CRV hands down for comfort, ride handling and features.

cross

but the back up camera and cross traffic alert leaves a lot to be desired (no verbal alert on my LT model).

Perfect cross over size and plenty of leg room in the front and back.

At 74 yrs old I wanted the power lift gate, rear vision camera with lines, rear cross alert and the lane change alert.

country

It handles well on country roads as well.

feature

Nice features such as back up camera, heated seats, wifi.

Discreet engine start&#47;stop feature is great to have
7.

I am thinking of getting a 2022 with more of the safety features etc.

Besides the spacious cabin, 6 USB ports, and rear storage; my car is loaded with features.

I love all the wonderful features on this vehicle , the fuel economy was the very first thing I noticed after driving an 09 for so long.

Comfortable, roomy, easy to handle, and the features are great!

This car is very clean & has all the features my husband and I were looking for.

room

The remote lift gate and rear seat releases make loading stuff and adding more space a boon.

The car meets all our needs, enty of leg room for the kids and trunk space when traveling.

The equinox fits me perfectly and there was enough room in the rear storage area for my golf clubs.

Has everything I need for my family, extremely comfortable, plenty of room, reliable, great on the highway.

2018 Toyota Camry

So, one day months after buying the Camry I pulled out of my lot at the house, and was a hot day - I head some noise which I thought was an issue with Gas&#47;acceleration on a very hot day, so I drove ok to my daughter's home across town into her driveway.

There is a noise in the front end that I've had the dealership look into several times to repair,

Main complaints are issues with wind noise on doors and panoramic roof.

but wears down quickly (expect 20K on tread before road noise becomes unbearable) and absolutely horrible  traction in snow.

2) The motor rattles like it needs a valve adjustment when idling, esp. cold.

Also, this is my first 4-cylinder engine, which I find to be somewhat noisy,

The chrome beauty rings on the speedometer and tach buzz at time, grab an move them  little and the buzz stops, a tiny bit of dense rubber wedged under the ring would likely stop it permanently,..on of these days, I'll do that.

Due to that, the car makes interior noise while stock g that is louder than I hoped.

At 57k miles this garage queen experienced multiple system failures: power steering, turn signals, wipers/washers, and constant failure mode warnings: abs, anti-skid etc.

Currently getting "parking break malfunction" alert EVERY TIME I DRIVE ANYWHERE, which also means brake hold (which I don't really use) and cruise control are down.

Finally, constant warnings: "Secondary breaking&#47;collision&#47;LDA malfunction (check engine)" warning lights go on for a few days and then go off on their own.

I wont go into too much detail about the infotainment system, which is the other glaring failure in this car, at least in its current iteration.

I just cracked the windshield and it’s &#36;850-&#36;1000 to replace it. Yikes!!

It is hard to do simple things, like reset the average mpg to zero after each fill up of the gas tank, set favorite radio stations, adjust the front passenger seat with mechanical levers, place a toll road tag onto the windshield behind the rear view mirror, see the tire pressure on all 4 wheels constantly on the multifunction information display, etc.

warranty

I had listened to people the past 20 years who talked of dependable Camry, and since March, 2021, I did not spend any money on maintenance and no warranty issues.

The tires wore for no apparent (Hankook) reason and Toyota  nor Hankook  honored  the warranty on them.

Toyota will not cover the issue in the warranty.

The seats are comfortable for what I'll call short to medium drives (10 to 90 minutes drives).

The seats are comfortable and the driver seat has many adjustable settings including lumbar support.

Awesome car, comfortable, stylish, good acceleration, good transmission, nothing to complain

The quality has lived-up to its reputation along with the comfort of a&#47;c and efficient interior heating in my upper midwest climate.

The interior is comfortable and looks decent.

The heated leather seats are nice and comfortable.

I’m a senior and don’t drive much anymore and was worried that I sooner comfortable with the Camry

Great visibility, comfortable seats, nice cockpit with a comfy leather wrapped steering wheel.

It has everything I want and It’s extremely comfortable.

So, the guy at the box store told me he had the Michelin Cross something tires - hundreds dollars more than the great Tiger Pall - and I knew Michelin owned Uniroyal - and these tires were billed as real all season unlike earlier years which favored Summer or Winter - and he said I had to buy the 4.

There are beeps for Rear Cross Traffic, pedestrians, proximity and if the car senses a collision will apply the breaks.

I purchased this car for the safety features: automatic emergency braking, rear cross traffic warning, adaptive cruise control, brake assist, many airbags.

And the communication system is great with the extra features including communication through your phone whether it's locked, needs service, location, etc.

My 6 month old grandson and I are alive today because of my Cameys safety features.

There are plenty of safety features which are great;

Very easy to drive and has some safety features that can be turned on if you want to.

This car has more features than I imagined

Driver assist package is awesome &#38; makes for a very safe feeling while operating.

The safety features and bluetooth are great.

Beautiful lines on this car, smooth ride, quiet, great MPG and fantastic safety features.

I especially the interior and the various options on the dash.

with 3 options for the transmission you can choose which "performance" you want and all will still get you over 40 MPG  unless you REALLY abuse this vehicle.

fuel

but for now, Gas and all, the Camry is a nice ride.

But my experience with the 2018 Camry LE blows me away, first and foremost the gas mileage is amazing, the new styling is just gorgeous on the 2018 and newer years, and it’s the fun as all heck to drive.

2017 Honda CR-V

Most recent issue; a bad rattle from something in the front end.

the engine noise is a little louder than I think it can be and I'm getting used to the power being a little less than what we had.

Only negative is the Bridgestone tires, noisy & excessive wear in 29,000 miles.

My biggest problem with this car is road noise.

As with a lot of Hondas there is some road noise,

Surprising features I can't live without now such as brake hold, dual memory driver's seat, Apple Car Play/Android Auto, LED headlights, hands free liftgate that is height adjustable, adaptive cruise control, active noise cancellation, active shutter grill, awd, dual climate control, 3 level heated seats, 5 star accident tests.

So, the things that make this vehicle stand-out are:
- impressive gas mileage
- very roomy interior and cargo space
- features for the price (heated seats, remote starter, Apple&#47;Android)
- All the modern safery features included (back-up camera, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise, collision alert, etc)
- Quality interior materials (I have cloth seats) 

There are only a couple of things that dont get an A grade:
- seats are not comfortable over long periods of time
- a bit noisy on acceleration (not sure if its the engine or CVT or both)

Overall though, this vehicle is tough to beat.

I tell them I have been hearing lifter noises and a strange whining from the transmission.

Contacted Honda due to having knowledge that the Honda Pilots had been recalled for this same issue.

So tired of the dash lights telling me “whatever system” Failure  that this time I am not even going to bother taking it to get fixed.

The car was just recalled because of problems with fuel leaking into the oil!

So, there are major health issues---hydrocarbons in the passenger compartment and a major risk that the engine will fail prematurely due to gas being mixed with oil.

At 70mph the car suddenly slowed, lost power, the check engine light came on, and multiple electrical systems reported malfunctions in the dash display.

button that controls movement of the shifter knob broke into several parts and fell from the shifter knob causing an issue with properly shifting vehicle into gears.

but turn off that and shift to Sports mode is totally different.

The gear shift is a little uncomfortable for my hand.

tank

The economy of this vehicle is a nice bonus -- my insurance dropped $90/year (due to the safety features) and a tank of gasoline is running around $30 (got to love the switch from premium fuel to regular).

Negatives: gas tank refill alert sounds after 10 gallons, not a good range.

The only thing that we would like to change is the gas tank size is only 14 gallons, which limits the range to less than 400 miles.

lights

At 60,000 miles all of the lights came on and I was told that the fuel injectors needed to be replaced.

newest problem 10&#47;1&#47;21 my emission system light is on.

Inaccurate warning lights, sensors drained the battery 3 times.

Example: The headlights were lowered, now it’s hard to read road signs, the lights are not bright enough.

We had had trouble with the warning lights on mirrors coming on for no reason earlier in the year,  Long story short Went to the dealer in Pensacola 3 times before they said it was "fixed"  Stopped in the Smoky Mtns .

In November, while driving the car, most of the warning lights on the dashboard lit up.

This White Honda CRV is comfortable, quiet and reliable.

Pros: turbo, fun to drive, great on gas, comfortable and drives like new.

It’s pretty comfortable and I do love it.

Very comfortable and fun to drive and got 32 Mpg.

The comfort, classiness, and safety is the best!

Extremely comfortable ride--go for the EX-L if you can!

Its roomy without being cavernous, comfortable, well designed ergonomically, loads of convenience features, and it rides good.

It has every amenity in comfort and performance that I can imagine—turbo engine, heated orthopedæcally correct seats, ergonomic displays, visibility, responsiveness, tracking, safety mechanisms, large clean cargo space, resale value, durability, extremely little maintenance needs, low mileage—and other features lacking on any of the other comparable cars I test drove (a little

This car was an update for me because it has the safety and creature comforts.

Cross traffic warning , blind spot monitor, back up camera all greatly help, active speed control plus lane montering system make this a very relaxing car to drive.

The audio system is good and is a cross between new technology and old school technology.

I drove it across country this summer during a move and it was so comfortable for everyone in the vehicle.

The dirt roads in the north country were muddy and full of pot holes, and this car traveled well there!

This car is worth every penny and its a basic car with basic features.

There are multiple built in safety features.

But I still like the styling and amenities of an SUV.

Driver assistance features work well and make the CRV easy to drive on the Highway.

It has many features including USB, touch screen and Bluetooth.

safety

I've had issues with batteries, a&#47;c control center, and now the entire safety suite is going haywire.

MPG of 31-33, has the safety suite, rides well and can carry 4-5 adults comfortably.

Plenty of safety features we haven't had with older models.

but with the new safety features (blind spot monitoring, etc.)

2018 Toyota Highlander

The noise possibly originates from the exhaust resonator and/or exhaust pipe hangers.

Very noisy, shuts off if you press the brake to hard- can shut 8t off temporarily

The car is a driving cocoon with its blocking of road noise and multiple accessories that make me feel as if I have both a

I don't like road and wind noise and this SUV is very quiet on the road.

5000 lb towing capacity is false advertising because car is not wired for trailer brakes.

brake assist and lane assist) that the other Highlander did not have.

The safety features such as the break warning and lane correction offer security that I was not expecting.

An extra feature is when I have to stop for a longer period in a stop light, the vehicle prompt you to extra press on the breaks so it will switch off for the waiting time, giving you a gas saving period.

keyless

button that turns the engine off, should be able to turn it off one time, not every time you drive.

The keyless entry combined with the auto engine switch off when stopped has caused me to not realize I still had the engine running when parked.

XLE trim package has moonroof, power driver and front passenger seats, leather seat, navigation, bluetooth, 4 2.1 Amp USB ports, 1 120v 100w AC plug (a bit low powered), power liftgate, keyless ignition.

exhaust

2 other things- the exhaust is a terrible designer decission, common for all trims, including such above $50k.. second- the design of the area below the touchscreen- so  1960s.

They will not replace the transmission if it's discovered after the time of warranty.

So they won’t honor the warranty, and the dealer said sorry, we begged Toyota America to fix it.

Comfortable ride, lot's of leg room and plenty of space for the kids, the dog and everything else.

The Highlander is very comfortable and very capable, and great on gas!

It's a very comfortable near luxury car-like ride.

Very comfortable and plenty of room for 8 people.

The car is comfortable and We have trusted Toyota since my husband is currently driving his 3rd Tacoma .

Convenient, Comfortable, Attractive, versatile, surprisingly peppy .

The seats are comfortable and the whole interior is nice.

But you're going to be hard pressed to find anything that balances performance, reliability, styling and comfort at a price near the Highlander.

The cross traffic alert and blind spot warning have already been helpful.

I especially like Toyota because it is reliable which is important to me driving alone across country.

Smooth ride with tons of safety features  
Great gas mileage 
Roomy
Only dislike is no Apple car play.

I love the feature of the 3  rd row of seats

Yes I know it is my own fault for assuming such a highly recommended  SUV would come with the features you were so used to having.

I purchased this car new, 2 years ago and still have issues understanding how all the features work.

Easy to drive,  great visibility and safety features are great.

This is car is great car has a good options good for long ride and for old people very safe easy to drive good space inside

The interior features are amazing and the cargo space was surprisingly larger than I expected.

I love the looks of the vehicle, its sporty rims and the pearl-white color option (with navy blue interior) is an absolute and complete pleasure.

I purchased this car because of the safety features ( Automatic cruise control, lane change warning, backup camera, misc.

ride

The ride is excellent and I love the looks inside and out.

I have had no problems at all with it and love the smooth ride.

I am amazed at how smooth and quiet the ride is.

The vehicle has plenty of room..quiet comfortable ride and good gas mileage.

I love this vehicle, it's nicely appointed, beautifully finished, and gives a very cushy and quiet ride.

but rides like a much higher- ticket luxury vehicle!

2018 Subaru Outback

speed

As to the interior, the finishes are cheap and plastic-heavy, resulting in constant rattles and vibrations even when cruising at highway speed on the interstate.

The transmission went out at full speed on the interstate, bringing me to a grinding halt.
