The Chevy Equinox is a fairly popular vehicle, with consumers buying 270,994 of them in 2020. Yet this popularity doesn’t make the vehicle immune from being a lemon, and if you’re experiencing problems with your car, you may be able to seek compensation through NJ Lemon Law or PA Lemon Law.

So what are the most common 2020 Chevy Equinox lemon law problems? Where do they manifest in the vehicle? Are they dangerous?

In this guide, we’re going to take a look at the 2020 Chevy Equinox and the most common problems it has. Are you ready to learn more? Then read on!

Issues With the Engine

Your engine is the most critical part of your vehicle. If the engine isn’t working, the vehicle isn’t. It’s as simple as that.

Unfortunately, some drivers have experienced real issues with the Equinox’s engine that could have severe consequences. One driver, for instance, reported that engine response was severely impacted when they yielded, with no throttle response for 30 feet. When merging onto a road, this could lead to a serious accident.

Other drivers have also reported problems with the starter motor, which means the engine is unable to start.

Poor Braking

If the engine is a vehicle’s most important component, then brakes are the second most important. Unfortunately, the 2020 Chevrolet Equinox has issues here, too.

Some drivers have had issues where braking at low speeds causes the vehicle to shake violently after just a few hundred miles.

As noted by the Automotive Safety Council, certain 2020 Chevrolet Equinoxes have had to be recalled due to issues with the rear brake calipers’ lubricant. This can lead to the brakes dragging and overheating, which can make the rear brakes a lot less effective.

Fuel System Woes

The fuel system is another vital component. If the engine isn’t getting the fuel that it needs, you aren’t going anywhere. Unfortunately, the fuel system on the Equinox is quite inconsistent for some drivers.

These owners report that sometimes pressing the gas pedal down barely accelerates the vehicle at all, while other times it will cause the vehicle to accelerate dramatically. As a result, the gas pedal is hard to trust, which makes driving the vehicle a difficult experience.

Another issue relates to NHTSA recall number 19V667000. This issue affects certain 2019 and 2020 Equinoxes, and relates to a fuel tank that has an improperly sealed seam. This means that fuel can leak out and increases the risk of fire.

Transmission Issues

Some drivers have reported that their Equinox’s transmission makes strange noises, which can be very disconcerting and could be a sign of a more severe issue.

Other drivers of low-mileage Equinoxes have reported leaking transmission fluid, which can lead to serious safety issues.
