2 days ago (2/26/2020) noticed 2 "jumps" as reversing and again yesterday. This morning, barely was able to get car reversed out of driveway. It felt as if reverse gear was "slipping". After work, reverse gear totally useless, had to push car out of parking space at work and all forward gears were "slipping" and unable to accelerate vehicle. Towed car mechanic who said, "your transmission needs to be rebuilt or replaced " and "these cars are known for transmission problems and catalytic converter problems". He says repair will be at least $2500 and maybe as high as $4,000.

A high pitched whining sound was noted while shifting through 2nd gear. Noted the next day the same whining sound while shifting through 2nd gear also began while shifting from park into reverse neutral and drive. Noted on the 3rd day all of the above in addition to the vehicle slipping gears and while in drive began to read as if it were in neutral.

At about 88,000 miles, while starting from a stop, and also while climbing a hill, the transmission started to slip into a neutral position instead of a higher or lower gear. I had to take my foot off the accelerator and let it idle down before it would go into a gear.02

My fianc bought her 2011 equinox used from a local dealer. She bought the 4 cylinder with 2 wheel drive. I think it's the plain edition? Anyways it wasn't long after buying it that it started making noises that sounded like the vehicle was going to raddle apart any min. From day one it goes through oil like crazy! It seems like I put more oil in then fuel. Then she was coming home from work one day and the tranny stopped working. Pushing on the gas only made rps go up, like it was in neutral. So we towed it to a transmission shop with a great reputation. It didn't take long for them to find the problem and tell us the bad news. Whole tranny needed to be done and the bill wasn't going to be cheap. It ended up costing us around 3700 dollars after it was all said and done. Few week went by and it happened again. So we brought it back and more needed to be replaced. Thank the liars the shop guarantees their work because they took it for another week. We got it back a right away it was slipping going into 3rd every once in awhile. Once again we had issues with if and this time the guy said he going to order some aftermarket parts instead of using the cheap factory crap! The tranny has worked since then but I know that it's not working perfect either. Since then we have had to dump another few thousand replacing gaskets, the timing chain, and exhaust manifold. Now a new problem just came up and the center dash went blank and nothing works on it. The display is blank, no radio, can't adjust air flow and all interior sound stop making noises. Like the ticking of the blinker or dinging are just not working! We could have the car paid off with the amount of money we sunk in her car!! I hate everything about this vehicul and feel helpless. We still own on the car and I dont think it will ever be paid off before it dies for good!

Was driving at 25mph when service stabile track light came on, within 5 seconds engine powering down light came on, couldn't restart vehicle , vehicle was towed to chevy dealer where diagnosis of timing chain slipping or breaking was discovered. At first dealer wanted $8800 for engine ,then $6700, then settled on $5400. Original engine had 92,000 miles when this occurred. Engine had regular oil changes from oil change shops. My concern is that if I was driving 60 MPH or higher and engine completely shut down on a busy highway that fast wouldn't that potentially be a cause of a major multiple car collision with severe injuries or even fatalities? I think the dealership tried to help as much as they could but gm as a whole could have done better monetarily in helping me for a well documented problem. And as stated , shouldn't this be a recall?

I was turning left on a green light at the corner of argyle and oakleaf suntrust bank when the car slipped into neutral and I was stuck in oneway opposite traffic until I turned off the engine and restarted it and then was a ble to go into drive, I was almost in a serious accident with several cars. Then I was traveling north on hwy 295 and I had it in cruise control and I could not get it to quit until I turned off the engine. The power train was slipping after I had taken it to the chevy dealer and they said it was fixed but less than a year later it started doing the same thing as before, slipping, making loud scratching noises.rubbing noises and it smelled funny like it was burning but there was no fire.
