Transmission Not Go Into Gear problems of the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox

The vehicle would not go into gear, then it would go into forward and not reverse took it to chevy and was told we need a new transmission.

The car would not go in reverse gear and only had 1st and 2nd gear in forward.

When I was driving on a city street headed to the highway lost gears with no warning my car would not go into any gears.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox. While idling at a red light, the contact depressed the accelerator pedal and the rpms increased to 5,000. The vehicle barely moved and would not engage in gear. The check engine warning indicator illuminated. The contact moved the vehicle to the side of the road, engaged in neutral, waited approximately five minutes, and then engaged in drive. The vehicle returned to normal except it did not go into third gear or reverse. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission failed and needed replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 153,000.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that the vehicle was able to be in motion without the key in the ignition. Also, when the gear was shifted into park, it was not fully in gear so the contact constantly had to check. The VIN was excluded from NHTSA campaign number: 16v502000 (electrical system, power train). In addition, water entered various areas of the vehicle and the electronic stability traction control warning indicator randomly illuminated. The vehicle also rolled backward and forward without warning and the hatch came down unexpectedly. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the multiple failures. The failure mileage was not available.

On the way to work in my 2010 Chevrolet Equinox, on a Friday morning, pulling out to the highway my car did not want to shift and the check engine light came on. Then it would not go into drive or reverse. After it was turned off and sat for a wile it went into gear. I then went by a local auto store and they read the code as p0717 and p0700 that had to do with the transmission. I would have to contact the dealer for further info. Got back to work and called the dealer and was told they could not see me until late Monday or Tuesday. So all weekend I drove it, light was no longer on, thought everything was okay. Forward Monday afterwork, at stop sign and started to pull out and the car would not go into gear. No reverse either, coasted down the hill to side street and turned off the engine and after setting a few minutes it went into gear, but only lasted a short while and was stranded again. Had to call for a tow and used tranco transmission. They called and said the wave plate had broke which had caused more damage and would cost $3400. The repairman said this has happened in a lot of these motors, so I called gm and they said that at this time there is no recall for this. But if they do I can submit my receipt. I'm hoping that if enough people complain that they will take care of this problem. It could have been a bad situation, because I had my grandson in the car and we could have gotten hit trying to pull out at the stop sign and not been able to get out of the way because the car wouldn't change gears. Just google wave plate in a 2010 Equinox and see how many complaints you see. When I pay my bill, I will upload the reciept.
