While driving on level pavement at 65 mph, with my cruise control on, all of a sudden, the vehicle downshifted 2 gears, and the tach rose to 5300 rpms. I tapped the brake pedal, and it disengaged the cruise and proceeded in a normal condition. *tr

I have a 2010 chevy equinox that has a hard shift between 31 and 48 mph. I have taken it to the dealership 8 times and still no fix.

Took it back and the gm area rep drove it less then 5 miles and said it was normal for the 6 speed transmission to do that. I can not get the dealership to do anything…

I own a 2010 chevy equinox ltz. I purchased the vehicle in april. Soon after we noticed a definite clunking sound when the car shifted from 2 to 3 gear, around 3000 rpm. It only happens occasionally. I have found others with the same problem. Is gm going to look into this particular problem? *tr

At times it clunks so hard it feels like you have hit something. There are many…

On 09/04/09 i bought a new 2010 equinox and within 3,000 miles i began experiencing significant shifting issues and rough idling/stalling at stops. On 01/08/10 i will be taking the vehicle to the service shop for the 4th time in 60 days for these problems. Very concerning is that every time i have taken the vehicle in for service a new gm service bulletin exists for these problems. However, gm is not proactively…
