Problems with 2010 Chevrolet Equinox POWER TRAIN

When i purchased this vehicle, i was not told that the engine was replaced. i have replaced the exhaust manifold 2 times. the dealer told me that there is metal fragments in my oil. that i need a new engine.

In motion vehicle would not get out of second gear forward and reverse, technician states wave plate broken this was replaced under warrant in 2014

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet equinox. while the contact's daughter was driving 45 mph, the vehicle began to decelerate and failed to exceed 25 mph. in addition, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. the driver was able to park on the side of the road and had the vehicle towed to ralph sellers chevrolet (located at 15015 florida blvd, baton rouge, la 70819, (225) 238-1672). the dealer diagnosed that an unknown transmission component needed to be repaired. the vehicle was repaired, but continued to experience the failure. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed with needing the transmission replaced. the vehicle repair lasted one day. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 27,000. *dt*jb

My car just suddenly lost speed, wouldn't shift and was stuck at a stop, was told the transmission would need replacing because the solenoids were stuck. he also said this usually happens in most gm engines.

Was driving with daughter in the car. stopped at a stop sign and went to go into oncoming traffic in the middle of the city when it stopped. cars had to go around me and i was stranded in the middle of the road. this could have caused a major accident. had a friend tow it home and found out that the transmission needs completely rebuilt. when calling around to find replacement transmissions, because the car is so specific and there are so many transmission issues with this make and model, there are only 2 possible transmissions in an entire span of 3 states. this is making it also nearly impossible to replace as well as affordable.

My 2010 chevy equinox was running fine and out of the sudden, it stopped and went off while i was driving. it refused to start again. i have recently done an oil change and the was no warning on the dashboard to indicate any problem. i bought this car about 6 months and this took place. this car was well maintained, oil changes and other maintenance were done on time. i took it to a shop and while the mechanics were trying to make it start, it will not start. they (mechanics) called the dealer and someone from the dealership said that the problem was covered under manufacturer warranty so i should take the car to them for their technicians to do a test. after the test they said it was a low engine knock and i will have to get another engine by myself because the manufacturer doesn't cover it. don't know who to believe now. my car that i just bought is down and i'm stuck in this terrible situation.

'oil consumption and driveability , vehicle using more than one quart of oil every 400 miles or less, was at busy intersection in city on major city street and car froze up, would not accelerate and almost caused another vehicle to hit me from behind. turned off vehicle, then turned key and it started long enough to drive into nearest parking lot. had to press gas peddle all the way down and vehicle would not reverse at at. tow truck was called and towed to local chevrolet dealership. it was diagnosed with oil consumption problems due to the 2010 engine that it was built with. was advised to keep watch on oil until decide how to fix engine.

While driving, vehicle failed to accelerate and would not shift into next gear, then seemed to jump into higher gear. this caused me to almost be hit by motor vehicle behind me. second time, i was turning into busy intersection and car completely stalled, turned off key and restarted car and it would not drive over 20 miles an hour so pulled into parking lot and wheel was very hard to control. car would not go into reverse. was left stranded on side of road and had vehicle towed to chevy. has oil consumption issues but recently purchased car and passed date for recalls and warranty repair. gm needs to offer all previous expired to people such as myself who purchase used vehicles that were never corrected during recall times.also my vin was not listed in recall but has the exact issues. this was confirmed by gm.

I took my equinox to the garage started out as an oil consumption issue then turned into the whole motor getting rebuilt.

This car burns oil fast and i learned the hard way. 2 years after buying the car all the pistons in the engine bent due to lack of oil. when the car was getting fixed the mechanic said it was bone dry and i had just had an oil change 2 months prior. $3,200 later the car was fixed, but it still had issues shifting. in colder weather the car felt like it would barely move. i had no real mechanical issues until a year later. i had driven it 45 miles and stopped at a gas station, when i went to turn the car back on all of the emergency lights came on as well as the 'stabilitrak' light and the car wouldn't move. the only way i could get it to move was by turning the traction off, and was thankfully able to drive it home. i got it into the gm dealership and they said the stability track and the crankshaft needed replaced. my abs light was still failing and i'm total it was another $1,400 of work. now the engine seems to be making a cranking noise. i'm tired of wasting money on this piece of ...

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet equinox. while driving 70 mph, the vehicle began to decelerate and came to a complete stop. the contact depressed the accelerator pedal, but the vehicle failed to move. an independent mechanic was contacted to assist with repairing the vehicle onsite. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the dealer was not contacted. the manufacturer was notified. the failure mileage was 152,000.

Vehicle was stopped at intersection. vehicle would not move after using accelerator, and the engine continued to run at higher rpm. i was able to move after shutting off and restarting the vehicle. during the same drive i also had trouble shifting from 1st to 2nd gear with high rpm before a moderately hard shift while accelerating after a stop. amber check engine, brake, and abm lights all lit. vehicle is currently with mechanic for diagnosis and repair.

Transmission is bad. when i try to accelerate it doesn't go anywhere and its skipping gears and bucking prior to it finally no longer driveable

Transmission failure at 66,000 miles while vehicle in motion.

The vehicle transmission gets stuck and doesn't always shift from first to second gear. this results in being unable to accelerate past 20-30 mph upon takeoff which is scary and dangerous on the highway. my mechanic shop has informed me that the automatic transmission control module (tcm) needs replacing. on 10/14/2016 there was a recall notice for the tcm on several vehicles including the 2010-2013 chevrolet equinox.gm's recall numbers for this are 50490 and 50491.
