| I bought this equinox in texas used with 24,071 miles on it. drove it back to ohio with no problems what's so ever. then with 43,396 miles, the ignition wires started to fail. ironically i received a notice from gm that they would pay for this repair had i had it done at a shop.being a gm and ups mechanic,no one touches my vehicles or family's but me! napa had the wires[$22.00} an i installed them in less than 20mins.around 52000 miles i noticed a wheel bearing sound or flat spot in tire sound from left side. i'm thing gm should have solved this issue by now,so i was thinking new tires after vacation. when we came home from myrtle beach the sound intensified to where i jacked up the front on to jack stands,set park brake, started engine an put it in gear. i put my stethoscope on front bearing an found the left frt making all kinds of noise by this time.i called around an found a timken replacement at autozone for 259.99-3yr.warranty an at same time replaced the frt pads an resurfaced the rotors. so with all said, left frt bearing an pads $302.79. the bearing replacement makes the car ride an handle like new again. my wife drives this car 80+ miles a day to an from work,so it has to be safe an reliable an grand kids all over the place on weekends.funny that i got no vibrating feeling in steering wheel like on the older gm's that i had with same problem. *tr | |||
