2011 chevy equinox battery fully discharged. car has 1300 miles on it. car was in garage for two days before starting. dealership recharged battery and doesn't seem to want to investigate this further, sales person does not return calls. gm online customer service only sent auto reply without addressing the problem and on the reply named me as "frank", not my name at all. it took three tries to jump start the car. *tr

I purchased a 2011 chev. equinox on 1/14/2011 and the battery keeps going dead on me while it sits in my garage. this has happened twice now. it has 623 miles on it. i don't drive it every day but it seems to happen when i open the back hatch and close it. i make sure it is shut tight and also that no lights are left on. i reported it to the dealer i purchased it from and he said to take it to a chev. dealer and have them check the battery and also run a perastatic draw test on it. the one dealer i called did not seem interested in doing this as he stated he had no openings except the following week. when i planned on taking it in the battery was again dead and i am now charging it up again. i really want to find out what is happening to it. i have a 2006 silverado and have had no problems with it. i also had a 2004 buick lesabre that gave me the same problem as my equinox. if they were not driven every day or so the batteries went dead. no dealer could find the problem with my buick so i got rid of it. also the equinox seems to hesitate before it shifts into another gear. *tr

Shortly after purchasing this new equinox, the dash lights would go off and then come back on after a period of time and variable miles of travel. i informed the garage where i purchased this vehicle and they said the little knob on the dash needed to adjusted. this did not work. i have had this vehicle to three different garages and told them of this problem and to enter it into the history of this vehicle. none of them have solved the problem and it is a safety factor when driving at night. the vehicle now is out of warranty but the problem still exists.
