general problems of the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox - part 2

Brakes grabs,makes loud scrubbing noise when applied to slow down,stop,or turn. Sound like right front end rods going to break, and feels like brakes slipping, and not wanting to stop at times.

Car hesitated to move when gas applied when taking off from stoplight. It made a quick jerking forward, and backward movement as if to go, or shut down,then took off. Possiblely related to powertrain? .

On two occasions my transmission wouldn't engage when I shifted it from "park" to "drive. " my car started rolling like it was in neutral. I slammed on my brakes and after about 3 - 5 seconds the transmission engaged and I was able to accelerate as normal.

Was driving in parking lot and vehicle shut down unexpectedly. It would not restart. Contacted gm roadside assistance to tow vehicle. After about and hour and a half of waiting for a tow I tried to start my vehicle again and it did start. The check engine light was in. I was able to drive the vehicle to the dealership. The vehicle was at the dealership overnight. When I picked up the vehicle I was told there was a problem with the vehicle computer and they fixed it.

Took car to dealer for routine oil change and service, I reported to them a very frequent problem with car hesitating to accelerate andjerks at speed between 40 and 50 mph also passsenger can feel this riding in the back seat. Took to dealer they said nothing showed on computer but gm has software issue. For the price of cars feel that this is not acceptable performance to have to drive an otherwise nice car I notices several other similar complaint on this website.

The car was idling and in park on a no-grade (flat),private road preparing for school drop off. A few minutes later in preparing to drive away, my foot was on the brake pedal as I moved the car from park into drive. Immediately after I took my foot off of the brake pedal, the car began moving backwards as if I was on a significant hill. I don't know how far the car would have continued to move backwards because I quickly pressed the brake pedal again to stop it so I didn't roll into the car behind me. I confirmed that the car was in drive and proceeded to quickly move my foot from the brake pedal to the gas pedal to ensure that I moved forward (as if I was stopped on a hill). I have been using the car for this drop off for months without this problem occurring previously. The car is scheduled to be examined by the dealer tomorrow.

My 2018 Chevrolet Equinox has not been shifting into high gear (6th) for several weeks now. I brought it into a chevy dealer near me, and they informed me that this is a normal condition for this vehicle, when the ambient temperature is below 14 degrees. . The service manager cited a gm TSB #18-na-035. This TSB instructs the dealer to inform the owner that the vehicle is operating normally, and instructs the dealer not to attempt any repairs. This is definitely not normal vehicle operation to me. At highways speeds the engine rpm is running high and noisier than normal. The gas mileage has also dropped by 10% to 15%. I was not informed by gm or the dealer when I bought the vehicle that high gear would be disabled in normal minnesota winter temperatures. I believe gm misled buyers of this vehicle by not informing them of this vehicle defect, which they had to know about, because the vehicle was programed to do this. Also once the temperature did get above 14 degrees, the vehicle still did not shift into 6th gear. Several days later when the temperature was 36 degrees, the transmission finally started to shift normally. If Chevrolet does not have a suitable fix for this I will report this as a "lemon law" defect in my vehicle.
