3 Transmission Gear Slipping problem of the 2015 Chevrolet Equinox

Failure Date: 11/03/2017

This vehicles transmission has slipped since brand new. Many other people I know, who have the same 4 cylinder engine experience this same issue. It goes out of gear at stop signs when you try to enter an intersection, on major highways at speed and in any condition. Chevy is aware of the issue but does nothing about in, and, they put this same transmission in the new 2018 Equinox. Also, the car completely shut down driving in the middle lane of a major highway. It was repaired in the shop. A number of other Equinox owners have experienced this same issue.

4 Transmission Gear Slipping problem of the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox

Failure Date: 04/15/2017

Just driving home from huntsville, al airport took off from stop sign on a main artery street in the city and my rpm gauge just climbed like crazy and I was not moving very fast so I pulled off main road. I came to a complete stop and tried taking off again it seemed like it was going to be o. K. So I pulled backed onto road when traffic cleared and tried to accelerate and the same thing happened again so know at this point the transmission was slipping pretty bad without any warning I limped it home and called dealer he they told me to bring it in and they would check and addvise for $95. 00 they said it wasnt covered under warranty I had 85000 miles on it. They diagnosed the trans had to be replaced at a cost of $4700. 00 I could not afford that so I had to have it towed to a local trans shop for repairs. Ends up its a 6speed automatic trans and the repair shop had to replace the 1/3/5 drum some kind of plate broke inside the housing the owner of the tran shop said it a real problem gm had 2008/09/10 they have an updated drum and snap ring for repaires. I feel like Chevrolet should be responsable at least for some of repair cost. Thats my story.
