Why does my Equinox’s check engine light come on when I start it?

It's okay if your check engine light comes on when you first start your vehicle. This is a sign that your vehicle is testing its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.

Why is my Chevrolet Equinox making engine noise?

Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Chevrolet Equinox engine. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.

What could damage my Chevrolet Equinox engine?

Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.

Is it okay to put water in my Chevrolet Equinox radiator?

An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your Equinox when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

What can cause a Equinox engine to suddenly stop?

If your Equinox car engine suddenly stops, it could be due to overheating, low fuel, a faulty ignition system, sensor problems, electrical system trouble, or mechanical issues.
