2024 Chevrolet Equinox
This year drew an ordinary 71 complaints for a Chevrolet Equinox — the model's median is 392. What they were about is the unusual part: 8.5% of them mention less, against 2.8% across the other years of this generation.
Last year of its generation. This Chevrolet Equinox ran from 2018 to 2024, so it had the whole run for its faults to be found and fixed. Last years are usually the most sorted of a generation.

How this was worked out
Every year of the Chevrolet Equinox was compared against its own history rather than against other cars, which removes popularity and age from the answer — a common car draws more complaints at equal reliability, and an older one has had longer to accumulate them. A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints.
This is a fault record, not a review. Nobody files a federal complaint to say the car was fine, so it shows what tends to go wrong — not whether owners liked it, and not whether it is a good car.
