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?.

I took my 2006 chevy Equinox in to an authorized dealer to look my vehicle over up an down to fix anything that was potentially wrong with it before my warranty ran out at 80,000 miles to which they said nothing was wrong! 3,000 miles later my oil changing guys whom I trust and always use pointed out that my carrier bearing is completely obliterated and advised the vehicle is 100% unsafe to drive and should not be on the road. From what I have read this is potentially a fatal problem especially if the drive train falls out moving at high speeds. My mechanic told me he wouldn't let his dog ride in the vehicle. I am frustrated with the authorized dealer and frustrated that gm would allow these unsafe problems to occur on their vehicles(shame on you gm).

2006 chevy Equinox has shut off 9 times w/in 3 separate rain weather incidents. Spring 2006. I advised him that my car has shut off repeatedly when it was raining 4 several days or when we have rainstorms. The most serious incident is when I had my family in the car driving to bridgeport,CT on the evening Nov 16, 2006. It started to rain really hard & my car started to make this roaring sound all of a sudden . I was pressing on the gas & I noticed the car had lost power. The lights were on but the odometer was dropping. I kept pressing the gas pedal & nothing happen. There were a lot of trailers/cars on the road. I couldn't see in front of me because of the heavy rain fall. I slowly moved over trying to get to the shoulder since the car was still gliding on the rain. I was at exit 27 southbound on i95 which is a down ramp 2 get off the exit I couldn't see the shoulder on the side of the highway b/c of the rain & I was afraid 4 me & my families due 2 safety reasons that moving on the shoulder with the hard visibility due 2 the rain wouldn't be a Smart move on my part. So I was able 2 make it w/no power steering down the exit ramp I was able 2 pull over off the highway. The car has turned it's self off when it rains really hard in a storm or it has been raining 4 hours. This is a major concern & safety issue 4 me & my family. I shouldn't have 2 inconvenience my family & friends when it rains but I'm afraid my family & I could get killed. Something occurs. I can't put my families life in jeopardy or my own. I can't trade in the car because if god forbid someone else gets this car & gets killed then I would have some fault in knowing I gave a faulty car 2 a dealership. I can't live with that. Yes, it's an inconvenience 4 me and my family but I know their is a problem with this car that needs 2 be fix or solved b4 someone gets killed. I could have caused an accident on i95 & killed myself, my family & other people on the highway. Please help me?.

Was waiting at a traffic light when vehicle lurched(jumped forward) hitting car in front of me, car was in drive and my foot was on the brake pedal, had been stopped for several minutes when car went forward. No one was injured but could be a problem in the future.

On long highway trips with steep inclines, obds light and traction control light came on. When stopping, and trying to regain speed, car lost power to move forward. When engine turned off and back on, traction control light extinquised, obds light remained. When car cooled off, no light remained. First time did not bring to dealer. Second time left car running. Dealer said fixed problem. Problem registered on computer as p0741. Dealer did not mention of previous computer registration of first time incident. Within 6 days, stranded on next long distance trip with steep incline,and was towed to next dealer. Problem registers on computer with code p 0741, covered by bulletin 020730-013d. Received three different explainations of problem. Valve body was replaced.

I have a 2005 Chevrolet Equinox. When towing my pop-up camper trailer, the 5 speed automatic tranmision will not shift from third gear to fourth gear automatically. Upon reaching cruising speed, 60 or 65 mph, the engine remains at a high rpm until I release the accellerator pedal. Then it shifts into fourth gear. I do not tow the trailer in fifth gear (overdrive). When I took the car to the dealer, a mechanic that has worked for this same Chevrolet dealer for many years, drove the car, towing the trailer. When it did not shift, he told me straight out that there was a problem. When I left the car at the dealer (dick wickstrom Chevrolet in roselle, illinois), they claim to have contacted the factory engineers and I was told that this is normal and that the transmission was designed that way. I very much disagree with that statement. I have towed trailers behind quite a few different vehicles and have never had this problem. I am tired of having dealers tell me that problems I experience are "normal and that they all do that".
