Chevrolet Equinox transmission problems

TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. IT WILL EITHER HANG UP IN THE LAST GEAR OR SHIFT HARD WITH A CLUNK INTO THE NEXT GEAR. HAVE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TWICE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS NORMAL FOR A 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION. MY 2007 EQUINOX ALSO HAD A 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION AND NEVER SHIFTED LIKE THIS 2011 DOES. THIS IS THE 6TH CHEVROLET I'VE BOUGHT SINCE 2000. THINK THEY WOULD TRY TO DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BEFORE I OPT FOR ANOTHER AUTO MAKER. *KB

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. THE GM ENGINEER FOR THE OK AREA CAME DOWN AND DROVE IT LESS THEN 5 MILES AND SAID HE THINKS IT IS MY DRIVING HABITS. 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 BECAUSE GM SAYS IT IS OK. *TR

I RECEIVED MY VEHICLE BACK ON 8.2.11 IT HAD BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP SINCE 5.14.11. THE REPAIR MAN REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION MODULATOR. HE NOTED THAT IT DID "ACT UP" FOR HIM, HOWEVER IT HAD NOT ACTED UP SINCE HIS LAST ATTEMPT AT FIXING IT. IT WAS RAINING WHEN I PICKED UP MY CAR. IN THE FIRST 10 MILES I NOTICED THE STEERING PULLED TO THE LEFT A COUPLE OF TIMES. AFTER I HIT DRY ROAD THIS DID NOT OCCUR. AFTER ABOUT 30-60 MILES OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE SINCE GETTING IT BACK, THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED FAILING AND THE VEHICLE WHILE GOING 55MPH STARTS TO FEEL LIKE IT IS GOING TO CEASE TO OPERATE AND STUTTERS. IT IS ALSO NOTED THAT IT FEELS LIKE IT IS NOT GOING TO AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT TO THE APPROPRIATE GEAR. THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP ON FRIDAY 8.5.11. *KB

I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY EQUINOX AND I'VE BEEN HAVING DIFFICULTY STARTING IT. THE CD/RADIO WAS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY DISPLAYING NUMBERS/LETTERS AND SIGNS. -FAILURE TO START -POOR FUEL ECONOMY -RADIO/CD FAILURE I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THE 2005 CHEVY EQUINOX HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS AND A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR FAULTY PCM, WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER A NHTSA RECALL FOR REPLACEMENT.
