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.

panoramic

My Chevy Equinox has panoramic moon roof, sun roof, turbo engine, OnStar, apple play, blind spot assist and heated seats.

Great look, superior performance, spacious, versatile, and I love the panoramic sunroof!

Appreciate the user-friendly infotainment system and LOVE the panoramic moonroof.

I love the equipment that came with the included package like heated seats and panoramic roof and dual climate controls up front.

Superior comfort, fun to drive, great gas mileage, and the panoramic sunroof is the icing on the cake!

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.

fuel

It's totally irratating, Chev tries to say it's to save gas, most everyone knows starting a car takes more gas.

I love the fuel savings compared to the last vehicle we had.

Love it, V6 or the turbo L4 is a great combination, both give excellent band and gas mileage, my Turbo L4 has gotten 41 MPG on the highway, 25 MPG around town.

Its performance is excellent and the gas mileage is incredible.

I couldn't believe how much I am saving on gas.

I love the gas mileage and the caplets gas tank.

Its a nice comfortable ride with many features, and great gas mileage for an SUV.

Fuel efficiency is average of an SUV and interior is great on the premier edition.

2018 Ford Escape

tank

Rattles are starting to show up and the gas tank is much smaller than I thought it was.

Really, my only complaints about this car is that for a small SUV it probably gets the lowest gas mileage of all of them and the gas tank is not very big.

The only thing I don't like is the gas tank opening is on the passenger side.

One thing that is totally unique that  Ford is the only one that makes a capless gas tank,  so like that when I fill up I don?t smell like gas, removing and putting on the gas cap.

transmission

Reliable, a little noisy on the transmission

now the transmission is not shifting properly and I am pretty sure I am smelling exhaust entering the cabin.

Bought this 2018 Escape SE AWD because dealer took a 2014 Ford Focus on trade, after being unable to sell (get rid of) the Focus with only 66,000 km with the crappy, troublesome dual clutch transmission.

PD it off and 4 months later the transmission went out.

This vehicle has all the features I was looking for, automatic transmission, navigation system, heated seats, heated mirrors, back-up camera, remote start, power lift gate, fuel economy, fog lights, tilt wheel and power seat.

Module failed allowed coolant into cylanders dealer hacked it back together then rear differential failed had to be replaced hopefully lemon law will protect me

Main dash instruments do a weird light malfunction every so often.

problem with the engine running heavy and knocking noise, I do not think this car is reliable as a long term car.

However, there are so many noises this car makes!

Not much road noise on the highway going 60+mph.

THIS VEHICLES COMFORT, PERFORMANCE,  MILEAGE, STYLE, ARE EXCELLENT.

It has been a very useful and comfortable vehicle.

Excelleration, ride, handling,  and overall comfort.

lots of room, heated seats and steering wheel very comfortable, love the turbo for power bursts when necessary.

This is a small SUV, so it is comfortable, not spacious.

I just took a 3 plus hour drive to the shore and remarkably comfortable.

Easy to drive and real comfortable, with great visibility all around outside.

Size is very comfortable and area behind seats is large for many items

I have SEL model w heated leather seats, panoramic sunroof and the smaller turbo engine.

- panoramic sunroof looks great and let’s tons of light in.

The radio and navigation is easy to use, the panoramic moon roof is gorgeous, and the heated seats are a MUST.

The panoramic moonroof is really cool when its raining or nighttime.

I love the heated leather seats and panoramic moon roof.

I also love The panoramic roof and the awesome design of the air vent.

It drives nice, gets good gas mileage and the granddaughters love the panoramic sunroof.

Never lacked for power highway driving and takes regular unleaded gas

Another nice option was FordPass app for phone which allows remote starts status monitoring, etc.

It drives so nice and has so many features that make me never want to get out of it!

It has a nice set of features at this price point.

Has all the features we were looking for in a smaller SUV.

I love everything about this SUV It is very reliable And  all the safety features you would like You will not go wrong with this  Suv

Car met all of my needs, automatic, heated seat, blue tooth back up Cam, low miles, warranty,  safety features, small suv, roomy, AC, sound system
Nice color,

It had good cargo space and some storage by the spate tire.

Very reliable, perfect size for my needs, you can lower the back seats for a lot of room!

A.C. plenty cold, seats comfortable and navigation was a Godsend when accident forced us to change routes

Plenty of room for storage and plenty of power.

I was sold on the space and the interior inside.

- they designed these to have a lot of front seat and cargo space.

Nice rear cargo space with seat up or down.

The gas mileage is much better and needed space to haul stuff with since I was getting tired to call my friends to help.

ride

It rides nice on our mile long dirt driveway.

Rides great, lots of leg room and the best part, hands free.

This Escape handles well and rides smoothly and quietly.

Smooth ride and accessories are easy to access like USB ports and navigation.

The check engine light is blinking and the car is riding very rough.

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.

The Camry gets amazing mileage, very comfortable, smooth drive and I love the panoramic sunroof.

I love the sound of the engine and the option to drive in “eco, normal, or sport mode.”  The panoramic moon roof is so awesome.

Outside, the vehicle looks stunning especially when the panoramic moonroof is open.

You will also appreciate remote keyless entry, cruise control, a rearview camera, Smart Key, a panoramic sunroof, and split-folding rear seats.

Don't get me wrong, the seats are comfortable, panoramic sunroof is great, JBL sound system is a blast, nice looking 19" wheels, and so on.

Panoramic moonroof adds a luxury styling to the car.

Great sound system, and app features , along with the panoramic roof.

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.

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.

interior

The interior is "very" spacious, my husband is 6' tall and his head has plenty room.

The interior is nicely trimmed out, JBL sound system is very decent, seating is firm

I hated the way it performed had like a dead spot on acceleration car was very comfortable inside.

Silver white,red leather interior ,black glass roof, a gem of a looker.

I love everything about my new car inside and out!

Great styling, impressive interior, mileage better than EPA estimates which is refreshing.

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.

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.
