They have a tendency to blow head gaskets. Have to pull engine to replace head gasket.
My daughter bought one last fall when was in hurry to buy something. Hit deer with their dodge journey totaled it..They didn't do much research and I thought rushed to buy..Anyway the engine light comes on it over heats. I put my computer on it says bad heat sensor. Changed thermostat and heat sensor and was royal pain in butt to bleed system..Didn't get far and it over heats again.
Long story short I start researching it..Pretty sure was blown head gasket and more work and cost than worth fixing...They were lucky and found a guy wanted a car could run long enough for demo derby so they got $300. instead junk price. Which it was junk..
I would certainly not buy one especially with that many miles.. Not only did my daughters fail.. while we were still figuring it out. She got to work one morning and a co worker said hers Equinox was doing same thing..
What ever you decide to buy before you do. Go on net and google most common problem for that year and model vehicle..Little research can be a money saver..
