THE VEHICLE BARELY MOVED AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN GEAR. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MOVED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, ENGAGED IN NEUTRAL, WAITED APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINUTES, AND THEN ENGAGED IN DRIVE. THE VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL EXCEPT IT DID NOT GO INTO THIRD GEAR OR REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 153,000.

WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR/LINKAGE ASSEMBLY BECAME DISENGAGED AFTER JUST UNDER TWO MINUTES OF USAGE ON HIGH WHILE DRIVING IN A TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR. MECHANIC HAD TROUBLE FINDING A REPLACEMENT BECAUSE "ALL OF THE REPLACEMENTS WERE 'RESERVED' FOR DEALERSHIPS.. WHICH HE TOOK TO MEAN, THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, MY GAS PEDAL BECAME UNRESPONSIVE. THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. UNABLE TO KEEP MY SPEED, I WAS UNABLE TO MAKE A STOPLIGHT AND HAD TO STOP. WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKES, THE RPM FOR MY VEHICLE WERE STEADILY AT 6-7000. AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL, RECEIVED A JOLT AS IF THE CAR WAS ACCELERATING, BUT WAS SLOWLY MAKING MY WAY UP TO 20 MPH. AS THE TIME TOOK NEAR 30 SECONDS TO MAKE THE CLIMB ON A FLAT ROAD TO 20 MPH, I DECIDED FOR MY SAFETY TO HIT MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS. AROUND THAT TIME, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED TO A SIDE STREET AND HIT 'ONSTAR'. THEY WERE ABLE TO GIVE ME TWO CODES THAT APPEARED. P0776 AND P0700. WHILE TALKING TO ONSTAR, MY CAR WAS IN PARK AND AGAIN THE ENGINE WAS PUSHING 7000 RPMS. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO MAKE IT TO MY HOUSE AS THE CAR WAS BARELY ABLE TO MAINTAIN IT'S SPEED. THE NEXT MORNING I WAS CURIOUS IF I WAS ABLE GET THE CAR OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY OR IF IT COULD MOVE IN A FORWARD MOTION. I WAS FORCED TO PUSH MY CAR OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AS I COULD NOT GO IN REVERSE AT ALL AND AGAIN I NOTICED THAT THE CAR COULD BARELY MOVE FORWARD. AFTER HAVING MY CAR RETURNED FROM SPECIALIST IN TRANSMISSIONS, THEY GAVE ME PICTURES OF WHAT THEY FOUND. WHICH I INCLUDED FIVE WITH THE COMPLAINT. THE ISSUE AFTER TALKING TO THE DEALERSHIP IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND BY READING THOSE TWO CODES WERE ABLE TO INSTRUCT ME THE PARTS THAT BROKE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION WITHOUT OPENING IT UP OR CHECKING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID.

ON MARCH 15, 2017 THE VEHICLE POPPED AN ENGINE CODE FOR BOTH KNOCK SENSORS AND PERFORMANCE OF THE SENSORS. I THEN MADE AN APPOINTMENT THAT EVENING FOR THE FOLLOWING MORNING.

I ALSO RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL FOR OIL CONSUMPTION. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED MY VEHICLE BY DOING AN OIL CHANGE AND FOUND METAL FLAKES IN THE OIL FILTER. THE ENGINE OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON DURING THE LAST SIX MONTHS.THE DEALERSHIP STATED THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A PRICE OF $8,000.

I OWN A 2010 CHEVY EQUINOX. I WAS HAVING SOME ISSUES WITH MY STABILITRAK, ABS BREAKS AND MY ALL WHEEL DRIVE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER. THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW RIGHT FRONT HUB AND MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED. SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER TAKEN CARE OF AS IT IS A PROBLEM CHEVY PAYS FOR. THE NEXT DAY I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND I NOTICED MY CAR WASN'T SHIFTING. I STOPPED AND HAD A TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY FIXED THE CONVERTER AND PUT A SPEED SENSOR IN MY TRANSMISSION BECAUSE MY CAR SIMPLY WOULDN'T MOVE. I PICKED UP MY CAR AFTER THEM HAVING IT FOR TWO WEEKS. THAT DAY I NOTICED IT WAS SHIFTING EXTREMELY HARD GOING FROM 3RD TO 4TH GEAR. I PURCHASED A NEW HUB AND A NEW WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AND HAD THEM INSTALLED. WHILE LEAVING THE GARAGE THAT INSTALLED THESE NEW PARTS I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN IT TURNED GREEN I PUSHED THE GAS PEDDLE AND MY CAR JUST SAT THERE AND REVVED. I TURNED OFF AND BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT BACK TO THE GARAGE AND THERE IT SAT, REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING BUT REVV. SINCE THIS HAS STARTED I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM FOR THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITHIN THIS SPECIFIC TRANSMISSION I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO.

WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE SPEEDS UP BUT THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE ALMOST LIKE IT IS OUT OF GEAR..IT REVS AND THEN WILL BE OK AND BACK TO NORMAL SPEED AND I WAS ON A SURFACE STREET. NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME.LUCK FOR ME. AT TIMES MAKES A HIGH PITCHED SOUND WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING. THE NEAREST DEALER IS NOT 20 MILES FROM MY HOME. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE.
