Because the system is designed to work when car is in motion. There is a pulley involved therefore when the car doesn't move the system will not work as well. Check your Freon too. Take to shop. Good luck

I am looking at buying a new Chevy Equinox AWD. It comes with a 4 cycle engine. I have been driving an Impala for 13 yrs with a V6. I can get a V6 in this Equinox for an extra $1,500. I know a V6 will bring the gas mileage down some. I am torn about whether I should or not. The dealer says the 4 cycle is plenty of motor. I have had a lot of people say get the V6 because the 4 cycle doesn't have enough oomph when trying to accelerate quickly. Im not going to be pulling things or driving in mtns. Just city and highway driving. When I took it out on the highway it might sound different from my car on acceleration but it does seem to have enough power to do that. Please help. I don't know what to do. 7 Answers

Torn between whether to get a V6 engine in a new Chevy Equinox that comessage with a 4 cycle engine.
