Chevrolet Equinox Change Vehicle

"When stepping on the gas after almost stop the vehicle, transmission shifts rough, making noise, took to the dealer to see what's going on, They did a transmission TCM reprogramed. but didn't fixe the problem, the technician told me almost a lot of Chevrolet have this kind of problem, but they can't do anything to solve the problem. Now I'm stuck with this vehicle with a lot of problems."

"At speeds less than 30 MPH on incline transmission has a problem finding the right gear."

"I have already mentioned in previous question on transmission"

"Window trim on drivers door was loose. New part installed under warranty"

"rear bumper cover was loose"

"Chrome trim around driver side passenger door has been a constant problem. It's misaligned, and two trips to the dealership have not fixed it."

"With only 4K miles on the car I noticed that there is black soot around the exhaust. and for several months I was having a problem with the engine light coming on. and trouble code showing. Took them to the dealer many times to try to run down the problem and they cleared the light and codes but never understood what caused it. The salesperson said that its recommended to put premium gasoline however he said that you can also use regular as long as it does not knock. we have used unleaded gas in it and the car always sounded perfect never knocked however the problem with the lights and codes stopped after I refused to put anything other than premium gas in it. so now it seems fine except the car was purchased with the intent of using regular gas and that obviously is not going to be possible. The exhaust pipes still are black and that concerns me though about how is the long before some big problem might happen. I use all GM filters and GM recommended Oil never deviate just in case."

"won't show as full, gets to low fuel and will not take anticipated gallons, cannot trust readings. Dealer says that this seems to be a problem with the new capless fuel fill"

"Chevrolet has know about this problem since at least July 2017. The fuel gauge never reads accurately. When you fill the tank completely it only goes to about 7/8 of a tank. I have made a complaint to GM, they never fixed the problem and closed the case as unsatisfied customer."

"During the last six months the car either did not heat up as quickly as it did when it was new nor do they cool off as quickly as it did when it was new"

"Within a week after we got delivery of this new vehicle, the weather got hot, so that we wanted to cool the inside car. When I turned down the temperature to 65 and below, all it does is to blow hot air. Turning on A/C button does the same thing. The dealer says we need to wait one week before they can take a look at the car because their A/C tech was swamped. This is a brand new car, not driven more than 1000 Miles."

"The Equinox has heated seats that turn on when they want to which is annoying. you could be driving and the heated seat might turn on."

"Started burning oil very fast.about a quart every 200 miles...Then check engine light came on.Had to drive to dealer in limp-in mode.Piston rings on one cylinder had to be replaced..It was down 6 weeks..My wife drove 2-3 loaner vehicles because dealer did not want too many miles put on each loaner. (so it could be sold as a "demonstrator")It was not a "fun" process"

"The timing belt broke is what the dealer told us but I don't see how because i've owned 30+ cars and trucks and this is the first that had a timing belt break."

"I was going up a hill one day and the engine power was reduced by approximately 1/2. The car announced "the engine power has been reduced. Contact your dealer within 7 days." They immediately diagnoed the problem as a failed turbocharger. They fixed me up with a courtesy car. Several days later, I called to check on it. They told me GM had not made up their mind: replace the entire engine, or replace/repair just the turbocharger. Afew days later, they called and said the car was ready; they had repaired the turbocharger."

"The coupling between the catalytic converter and turbo downpipe became loose. Also, the exhaust system had been improperly secured missing the front hanger. Both issues fix under warranty by the dealership."

"intermittent failure"

"doesn't work at times - generally corrects when restart"

"Check engine light has come on twice witch i had to take to dealer to fix"

"Head gasket was leaking oil onto key safety computers. Kept receiving warning FCW was inoperable."

"The timing chain cover developed a small leak."

"Alignment on both front and rear was off. The right rear was way off and was causing driving issues. The vehicle was very unstable on slippery roads and was jumpy on dry roads, the vehicle was not able to track properly and would not travel in a straight line, I always was correction with the steering wheel to keep it straight. The dealership fixed the problem and it has been fine ever since. I was told the alignment was so far off, it either was or would create issues with tire wear."

"I bought the vehicle new and had some difficulty with the alignment within less than six months which has not been realigned and I have had the vehicle in for routine maintenance every 4 or so months. It has been noted with each visit to the shop though the car dealership which sold the vehicle has not fixed this."

"Rear tires worn out completely at 11K miles. Not aware of any tire pressure issues during that time."

"Tailgate lock not working--dealer could not repair."

"The left side of the hatch looked crooked and did not latch properly. We took it back to the dealer and they readjusted the hatchback. It has not been a problem since"

"Tailgte or hatch does not lock--dealer has not been able to repair."

"The converter that engages the all wheel drive had to be replaced by warranty. It had a little rattle when it was engaged."

"During a routine service visit the dealership discovered some failed motor mounts that were causing some rattle and vibration. They made the appropriate repairs and the vehicle is now fine."

"WAS repaired to my satisfaction"

"The transmission was replaced. It cost me with a discount $5,300.00. The transmission was out of warranty by 6,000 miles. Heavy conversation with Chevrolet Customer Service, result offered me $100 free service. This was an insult and I did not accept same. Great car with the exception of this issue."

"Fuel injector & spark plug failue..Was running on three cylinders...Then 2nd problem, started using oil..Currently losing oil again...Possible engine replacement imminent"

"Rear rotors (factory) were badly scored, caliper slides stuck. Front brakes fine."
