While driving on level pavement at 65 mph, with my cruise control on, all of a sudden, the vehicle downshifted 2 gears, and the tach rose to 5300 rpms. I tapped the brake pedal, and it disengaged the cruise and proceeded in a normal condition.

I have a 2010 chevy Equinox that has a hard shift between 31 and 48 mph. I have taken it to the dealership 8 times and still no fix. The gm engineer for the ok area came down and drove it less then 5 miles and said he thinks it is my driving habits. Took it back and the gm area rep drove it less then 5 miles and said it was normal for the 6 speed transmission to do that. I can not get the dealership to do anything because gm says it is ok.

I own a 2010 chevy Equinox ltz. I purchased the vehicle in April. Soon after we noticed a definite clunking sound when the car shifted from 2 to 3 gear, around 3000 rpm. It only happens occasionally. I have found others with the same problem. Is gm going to look into this particular problem?.

Since the purchase of my 2010 chevy Equinox I have been experiencing rough shifts (clunks into gear) when the vehicle shifts up into 3rd gear. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong but went ahead and flashed the ecu. The vehicle worked fine for about 2 weeks then began to do the same thing again. At times it clunks so hard it feels like you have hit something. There are many complains on edmunds about rough shifts up and down gears. There is also another complaint on here. Gm needs to fix this issue or replace my transmission.
