Chevrolet Equinox condensation issue in the motor remains unresolved on Chevrolet Equinox

Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Equinox owners report experiencing ongoing condensation issues, including ice formation inside the intercooler, as noted in a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) from dealers. Additionally, some owners have observed condensation in the muffler and liquid dripping from the exhaust pipe, even after the vehicle is fully warmed up. White exhaust smoke, often attributed to condensation, can accumulate in the engine when the Equinox is left unused for a period, resulting in vapor upon startup. While condensation under the car due to AC operation is generally considered normal, persistent puddles may indicate a leak that requires further investigation. It is crucial for Equinox owners to monitor these issues closely and address any recurring problems promptly to prevent potential damage to the engine and other components.
