Noises During Shifting problems of the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox

This car burns oil fast and I learned the hard way. 2 years after buying the car all the pistons in the engine bent due to lack of oil. When the car was getting fixed the mechanic said it was bone dry and I had just had an oil change 2 months prior. $3,200 later the car was fixed, but it still had issues shifting. In colder weather the car felt like it would barely move. I had no real mechanical issues until a year later. I had driven it 45 miles and stopped at a gas station, when I went to turn the car back on all of the emergency lights came on as well as the �stabilitrak� light and the car wouldn't move. The only way I could get it to move was by turning the traction off, and was thankfully able to drive it home. I got it into the gm dealership and they said the stability track and the crankshaft needed replaced. My abs light was still failing and I'm total it was another $1,400 of work. Now the engine seems to be making a cranking noise. I'm tired of wasting money on this piece of junk!!!!!.

Was driving home from the grocery store around 35 mph and the transmission slipped, coasted a couple hundred feet, downshifted really hard and started marking noise. It then came to a stop and lost 1st gear. The car did not want to move in reverse. We were luckily able to get the car off the road before it completely locked up. After that, it wouldn't even go into neutral. The transmission locked up. The dealer called today and confirmed that it needs a new transmission.

My car's transmission failed just over 100000 miles. There was no indication that something was wrong prior to failure. The transmission always shifted rough intermittently, but from what I read, this was not uncommon with this vehicle. As a result, I never pursued the matter. I bought the car new. 100000 miles out of a transmission on a car gently driven unusual. The transmission failed after I exited the freeway, sitting at a stop sign. I went to accelerate and barely got any power. Several noises like something snapping or breaking and liquid spraying occured. With almost now acceleration I made it to a parking lot where I shut the car off. Reverse, to my surprise, no longer worked when trying to straighten up the car in the parking lot.

After about a year of owning this vehicle, we have experienced several issues with engine related problems starting in 2011 to current recent issue on 30/2014. We have been to the dealer for several "repairs" and have continued to have additional problems. On several occasions the vehicle has stalled while driving, engine shifts hard/delayed while driving, excessive oil loss between oil changes. Oil is changed and added before every 3,000 miles or sooner in recent months due to low oil and engine making "knocking" sound. Took vehicle to dealer for recent noise and engine light. They are stating it needs engine work done for oil being "burned" in engine through the exhaust in excess of $1600. Listed several items that need repair in conjunction with this issue.

Excessive engine noise,pinging,misfires-transmission shift hesitations upon acceleration-backfires/tiny explosions coming from exhaust-suspension noise. Erroneous mpgs-defective air conditioning/intermittent/stale smelling air/not cold.
