Common Problems with the 2023 Chevrolet Equinox
Powertrain, Transmission Issues:
“Getting vibration and loud noise at 35 to 40 mph since taking delivery. Have contacted dealership and they are waiting for GM to respond. I have seen similar complaints about drive line and drive axle complaints for earlier model year Chevrolet equinox.”
Electrical Problems:
“The contact's wife owns a 2023 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the check engine, ECM, and traction control warning lights illuminated. The contact also stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate above 60 MPH, with the accelerator pedal depressed to the floorboard. The contact stated that on several occasions, the vehicle failed to turn off or start up while depressing the START/STOP button. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed with a loss of communication codes; however, the dealer was not certain of how to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was 5,321.”
Engine Performance:
“While attempting accelerate on the highway at 70 MPH the car entered "Engine power reduced" mode resulting in the car to slow down. This reduced speed resulted in a few near misses on the highway. The check engine light than began to flash for about 15 seconds before all the messages went away and normal driving conditions occurred. Taking it into the dealership they pulled from the computer the issue of "multiple cylinder misfire" but could not replicate the issue. I also filed a ticket with GM letting them know of a potentially deadly issue but they sided with the dealer stating the car was operating within normal parameters since they could not duplicate the issue. The weather prior to the issue was rainy.”
Brakes Problems:
“Vehicle was set up per manual to be flat towed behind our motorhome. We followed the set-up steps according to the manual exactly. When driving and applying the brakes for more than a few seconds the front tires would lock up and squeal. This same situation happened when making a hard curve like a cloverleaf exit ramp.”
“was traveling about 45mph when warning lights come on engine light, brake light, abs light and "P" light and traction light. When brake petal was applied the petal went to the floor. Emergency brake would not work.”
“I went to the gas station to fill the car with gas. I pulled along the pumps and put on the brakes but they failed and I applied again failed again so I put into netural and ran into a pole. I called GM and they checked the brakes could not find any problem. I ask if they checked the computer but they didn't know. the Equinox only had 170 miles on it. That is my problem.”
