Update Nov 10, 2009 – GM has responded to my post and I’ve posted an update about what’s going on now.
Before I begin, I’d like to start by saying that if it wasn’t for the issues below, I would be in love with the 2010 Equinox – it has all the features I could want (Bluetooth, MP3, OnStar, etc) and is a very comfortable ride. That said, my experience so far has been trying to say the least. For the past 4 weeks my car has been in the dealership 4 times, and today it looks like I’m going to have to take it back again – it’s misshifting, “bunny hopping” when going into park, and *almost* stalled twice. It does this weird thing with the tachometer when at low speeds where it will go up/down/up/down/up/down then stall, but if I hit the gas it seems to prevent the stall.
I contacted GM last week and “Shelly” was assigned to my case. I left a message for her today and am awaiting a call back before I take the car to the dealer to have the latest round of issues investigated.
I’ll be updating this more now as I think it’s time time to put some public pressure on GM to get this issue resolve the ongoing issues. Click on the “more” link to see history of the issues so far that I sent to GM last week.
