When driving slow between 1st and 2nd gear when you get off the gas pedal and touch it again you hear and feel the clunk , as if there's play in transmission, turk conver locking and unlocking. Sounds like somethings going to brake. Other problem is thumping noise from something in fuel tank starts slow then seeds up . Mechanic said sounds like fuel pump module he couldn't repeat the problem. I only hear it when I'm stopped with car running and off this could make noise when driving but the normal sounds of radio,talking would drown it out . I'm afraid if it's the fuel pump ,it can shut off while I'm driving I can have an accident!.

2010 chevy Equinox transmission failure. I am surprise there are so many complaints about the 2010 Equinox and GMC has not responded. I have the 2014 and 2010 Equinox models and I bought both new. I am now worried that I have too many cars made by gm. I have had problems with my 2010 Equinox for years but nothing close to the current transmission problem. My current mileage is 92,222. I was on the highway when it appeared my car skidded. I then changed lane to be safe. Next thing I know, the car rpm soared but the car would not drive. Essentially, the car acted as if it was on neutral when on drive. I then turned of the engine and restarted it and the car drove about 2 poles but would not further engage the transmission. I was stranded with my 8 year old son by the highway shoulder. I had the car towed to the dealer. Several hours later, I am being told that the wave plate in the transmission was broke and that I had to wait several days to know what other damage resulted. With the same car, I have had numerous problem with the bearings and frequent airbag problems. The car does not ride well like the 2014 model. For some months now, there has been an annoying low rpm noise at low speed that the tech could not diagnose. I am now wondering if it was the transmission failing all along. The same annoying sound is now occurring in the 2014 Equinox. It begs the question of whether there is a pervasive quality problem with gm vehicles. To gm, I demand a fix to this 2010 Equinox transmission problem. My VIN would be readily available. I was shopping for a gm truck but I am having to wait and se.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox. While driving 40 mph, the transmission failed. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The contact also stated that there was excessive oil consumption with no safety defect. The contact stated that there was an abnormal grinding noise emitted from the engine. The contact also stated that the air conditioning unit and windshield defroster failed to operate as intended. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact was informed that the air conditioning evaporator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

Number one excessive oil started at about 55,000 miles. Number two excessive engine noise from timing chain and cam seizures. Number three transmission failure 52,000 miles. Number 4 wiper transmission failure at approximately 48000 miles number 5 check engine light on due to faulty cam actuators.

This is a fwd model with 2. 4l engine. The transmission 3-5-r plate failed at 67,000 miles and the transmission was ruined. When it failed it caused acceleration and speed problems while the vehicle was on a major highway but there was no check engine light initially. The car limped a few miles home stalling out completely once a block from home, it would not go into reverse and had to be towed to the dealer for diagnosis and repairs. I was the original owner of the vehicle it was purchased 06/11/2011. The vehicle also had oil consumption issues and rough idle at this time. The vehicle had its cam shaft actuators replaced in August 2011 after the engine made very loud noises with about 2000 miles on the car. I traded the car in 3 days after the dealership replaced the transmission because I did not trust the car.

I purchased my 2011 chevy Equinox in March 2014 at 40,000 miles. In that time I have only added 16,000. In the last 6 months or so I have had many issues with my vehicle. There was a ticking for a period of time after parking and shutting off the vehicle, a rough/loud running of the engine, inconsistent times of a 'whirring' type sound, and a bucking of the vehicle during accelerating and decelerating so rough that I thought I had been hit from behind a few times. When we inquired about these things from the dealer we purchased from we were told that everything was 'normal' and that's what a chevy sounds like. In August the compressor for the air conditioner went and we thought perhaps that was causing most of the issues and spent quite a lot of money to fix that. It did seem to run a little better for a few weeks. Today I was driving down a 30 mph road and could not accelerate over 20 mph going straight down the road. There was a grinding noise coming from the engine and the check engine light came on. I went to the closest garage as I would not have been able to drive the vehicle to the other end of the next town from where I was. I barely made it to the garage. They hooked it up to a scan and determined that the transmission would need to be replaced. Now I am finding out that I am out of warranty by less than one month. This appears to be a consistent problem in this type of vehicle from what I have now found and something that should not happen with only 56,000 miles on it. I do not drive long distances or even on a daily basis, as the fact that I have only added 16,000 miles in the last 19 months can attest. I am extremely frustrated with the entire situation, especially since I had told the dealership months ago that there was an issue that they didn't bother to look into and conveniently can no longer find record of. Neither the dealer or chevy were helpful.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox. While driving approximately 55 mph, the oil warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed. The contact was informed that the vehicle was low on oil. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer a second time where it was diagnosed that the piston needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. While driving approximately 50 mph, there was a noise coming from the engine and the engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the timing chain and transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.

This car started giving me trouble the very week I git it. It was stalling and has this loud raspy sound. The dealership basin Subaru said it is supose to make that noise. I had to have it towed to Chevrolet. The kept it for a month. Put a rebuilt transmission in ghe car. Still has the raspy sound, just had the fuel pump replaced after the check engine light came on. One day later the check engine light back on. They replaced some sylinoid sensor. The ac blws out a weird mist. Air condition not working prpoerly. That aweful rattle noise is still there. Just holding my breath for tne next thing to break down. Bought this care 2 years ago and I cant get rid of it.

Purchased 4/2010 1 at a red light, car idled really rough, then all of the dash lights came on. I drove straight to the dealership. They checked it out and said I needed a new fuel pump. I had about 47,000 miles. 2. Oil consumption - the first time this happened I was hearing a funny noise when I turned left coming from the engine. My boyfriend checked the oil the next morning to find no oil on the dipstick. We put in 2 qts then when the dealer ship opened I took it in. They told me they could not find any internal or external leaks so bring in weekly for oil consumption test (I was about 1500 miles since my oil change that was done at the same time the fuel pump was replaced) drove out of town to visit family (about 2000 miles after oil change) after driving 200 miles heard the noise again checked the oil. . . . . . . 2 qts low. Added oil and took to local dealership. No problems found related to oil, but did find another alert that needed to be completed when I got home related to the water pump tensioner. Gm customer service again , but only was told to wait until my next scheduled oil change and start consumption tests again. 3. I pod jack - worked fine for the first 2 years, but then would cause all center console lights to go out, could not operate radio or a/c. 4. Stalling - I have only had this problem once but it was as I was turning left across 3 lanes of traffic! 5. Jerky transmission - the first time this issue happened it jerked so hard I thought I hit something. Took it to the dealership and was told, like others it was the transmission "learning" me. The transmission codes were updated and problem only occurs occasionally 6. Drivers seat lumbar support airbladder - has popped and had to be replaced two times.

Have owned my car now for 6 months and nothing but issues. It sees the dealer more then I can enjoy it. If one more update is done and I am told the problem is fix and really it isn't then my frustration will continue. From the oil leak, transmission decline rough, engine noise,key gets stuck in ignition, fuel gage and starting issues I wish I could get rid of this car and never buy chevy again. If I had not sold my other car I would put this up for sale and walk away. There has to be something to fix these issues as this was not a cheap car. It only has 52 thous miles and I will go back to Mazda where my SUV went to 285 thous with normal maintenance not major issues or my tahoe that I sold at 189 thous and no problems. I wish I had purchased another Mazda at this point. How do we get this problems resolved once and for all? this is crazy!I am not sure if a lawyer is the answer but I would hope that its not. I am sick of getting renals, being late to work to drop it off and shuttle. I bought this to have a car to drive not to take to the dealer over and over. The engine seal was already replaced and the problems are worse or not better at all. Seems to be known problems with 2010 so why is it that they are not getting fixed on our cars. I am happy to get my 27 thousand back and get a car that is not a clunker junk. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

2005 Chevrolet Equinox transmission constantly fails to hold vehicle in place when stopped or parked. The vehicle rolled forward when placed in reverse and must be stopped from rolling forward by stepping on the brake or steeping on the gas pedal. The consumer smelled burning rubber in or around the front console, there was extreme heat from the engine, on the front hood and in the engine compartment, heat on the front windshield dashboard and the rear tail gate area. The consumer was told the heat he was feeling was from natural sources. The front side window and door supports interfered with the consumers vision. The doors constantly creak and make loud noises when opened. The back head rests impair the rear window visibility.
