NHTSA publishes complaints as owners wrote them and does not verify them, so read them as a pattern rather than a diagnosis.

A 2019 Equinox owner, NHTSA complaint 11659991: "The contact called on behalf of the owner of a 2019 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that there was coolant leaking from the engine compartment."

A 2020 Equinox owner, NHTSA complaint 11443978: "The contact owns a 2020 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that while pulling to a stoplight when they noticed the brakes squeaking and they began to smell like overheated brakes. The vehicle's brakes started dragging from the rear and the brake pad sticks to the roader. The failure occurred approximately 3-4 times."

Recalls that cover the radiator cooling pack on the 2018–2024 Equinox

As of September 18, 2026, NHTSA lists no recall on the 2018–2024 Chevrolet Equinox whose defect is in the radiator cooling pack. If your car has a warning light or a symptom that a recall could explain, check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls anyway — it takes a minute.

Which radiator cooling pack a 2018–2024 Equinox takes

Radiators differ by engine, by transmission, since an automatic's cooler often runs through the radiator, and by towing package. The 2018–2024 Chevrolet Equinox came with several powertrains, among them 1.5L I4 Automatic FWD and 2.0L I4 Automatic AWD. That is why we ask for the VIN, or the year, engine and trim, and confirm the part against it before you pay rather than after it arrives.
