This vehicle is a joke, I already put money down on it and have only had it a little over 2 weeks. 5 days it was actually in my possession but not able to drive it much. The rest of the time it was at the car lots mechanic, it dies driving down the road, it is hard to start and sometimes won't start after 10 tries, it is shifting hard and not when it is necessary( down shifting when speeding up) and it has a horrible noise coming from the front driver side which the mechanic can't figure out. Not to mention that the fuel pump will need to be replaced thanks to the fuel gauge not working properly. . . I feel like I just made a very costly mistake( I still owe 6900 on this vehicle. . . ) chevy should be ashamed of this vehicle and should be fixing these problems.

I have experienced nothing but issues with my 2010 Equinox. It has been in the shop many times regarding the oil level being low and a loud noise and transmission getting stuck and slipping. Also experiencing gas smell while I’m driving or when I come to a complete stop. Also it’s not normal for the engine to lose 3 quarts of oil out of 5qts within 3000 miles. Started noticing the lost of oil may of 2013. Took it to the shop and they replace the engine and other parts that go along with that repair. July of 2013 same problem occur again, lost of oil again, and then they replace front drive axle inner shaft seal. Also took the car back to the shop for oil lost on Dec. 31, 2013 for losing 3 qts oil out of 5qts. They tell us that there is nothing wrong. They said they inspected it for oil leaks, but if they would of check the oil dip stick they would have seen the lost of 3qts of oil. Also I have pictures that I took of the oil dip stick showing only 2qts of oil on Dec. 17 2013. Also we have contacted gm and no help from them. I’ve investigated this problem I learned that I’m not the only one experiencing the same problem across the united states. Also on the invoice that I received they did not do an oil consumption test which involves more than just checking for leaks? seem like there not following the service procedures. It's obviously an internal defect in the 2. 4 liter engine that causes it to burn that much oil. Also I have all my papers when I took it to the shop. Also they gave us a copy of the multi-point inspection where it indicates the fuel system, engine, transmission, drive axle; transfer case requires attention soon, wow you think that’s why my transmission is slipping.

Loud noise coming from engine. Sounds like loose valve train. While accelerating at lower speeds noise becomes louder. Tried higher octane fuel but that was no help.

I was traveling on a major highway (rte 495 s). I suddenly heard a loud noise and felt a jolt. I thought that I had gotten a flat tire, so I proceeded to pull into the break down lane. The car was idling fine but made a horrible scraping noise when moving. My mechanic informed me the bolts supporting my engine block had snapped and the only thing holding the engine was my axle hence the awful scraping noise. My car is less than 3 years old and has approximately 30k miles - I would think a part as important as the bolts supporting my engine block should last longer. I have all parts that were replaced.

Vehicle make loud roaring noise during hard rain, and lost power. The vehicle acted like it was hydroplaning, however, they roads were puddled enough to cause such an effect especially at 5,000 miles, brand new tires. The vehicle sounded like the transmission was grinding, and after punching the gas, had no response. I pulled over and restarted the car, it did not fix the problem. The problem went away as the rain subsided. I don't have the exact date of the incident.
