In february 2015 the throttle body was replaced/repaired due to reduced engine power and stalling while driving. Although no longer under warranty, chevrolet picked up the repair cost. Since the repair, there has been hesitation in acceleration. More recently there has been loud engine noise (sounds lile a diesel engine), rough idling at a stop & hesitation when turning off the vehicle. It sounds and feels like the…

Initially the issue started with rough idling of the car, engine ticking, and engine stalling. After indicating this to the dealership, they informed me that the ecm needed to be reprogrammed because the oil life indicator was not properly calibrated causing the system to think that there was more life on the oil than there actually was. The engine balance chain eventually broke while on the interstate (55 mph), due…

My wife purchased a 2011 chevy equinox with a window sticker stating a four cylinder engine. It had 1800 miles on the vehicle when purchased. We took the vehicle in to have the oil changed and found it has a six cylinder engine. How is this possible and who should i speak with at gm. I'm very concerned because of the terrible gas mileage and a six cyl engine was not shown on the paper work? *tr

This vehicle has never gotten anywhere near the advertised epa estimated gas mileage. I have over 20000 miles on it now and have only averaged around 23 mpg on the highway in eco mode. This really should be considered false advertising. I bought the vehicle mainly because of the estimated 30 mpg. Really disappointed in gm at this point. *tr

Sensors for the throttle control went out causing reduced engine power in sub zero weather at a stop. This made for hazardous driving in rush hour traffic as it was difficult to get the car above 15 mi per hr especially up any slight incline when the normal speed limit was 45 and every one is annoyed they are being slowed down. *tr

I have had many problems with my 2011 chevy equinox that started occurring about a year after i purchased it. The main concerns are the engine noise and how rough it runs, feeling as though i am being rear-ended in traffic (when moving forward from a complete stop it lurches forward, giving the feeling of being hit), rough start up (sounds like an old car at times) and the car stutters when accelerating (almost…

When vehicle was pulled into our garage, a strong smell of gas was noticed. Still under warranty the fuel line was replaced by our dealer. The vehicle mileage was 18700 miles. We bought the vehicle in february of 2011. The vehicle gets parked in our garage every night. We are concerned that a vehicle with so little mileage and at so young an age could have such a serious corrosion problem. *tr
