How this compares
271 complaints is 2.2 times fewer than the median 2017 model on this site and 3.0 times fewer than the median 2017 SUV. Among the 13 Equinox model years here it ranks 7th for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.
Complaints filed by year
59 complaints came in 2025. Owners file in waves when a problem gets press or an investigation, so a spike measures attention as much as failures.
