Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)Engine reduced power, over acceleration as well as sluggish acceleration, wobbling on the freeway, electrical dashboard problems, tire sensor light comes on after getting it repaired. This vehicle has the same problems like 2021 -2024, reduced speed and couldn't go over 40 mph on a busy street with speed limited being 50 mph.
The car shakes between 30-40 MPH, with or without acceleration. I’ve done a lot of research on this issue many people are having the same issue and can’t find a solution.
The contact owns a 2020 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle had intermittent shaking. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the dealer replaced the front driver's and passenger's side axle shafts under TSB 20-NA-227. The failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 12,800. The VIN was invalid.
MY 2020 EQUINOX HAS DEVELOPED A SHAKE/SHIMMY VIBRATION WHEN ACCELERATING BETWEEN 30 AND 45 MPH. WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THE VIBRATION IT WAS SLIGHT AND DID NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT WITH MORE MILAGE NOW AT 5309 MILES, IT HAS BECOME MORE NOTICEABLE ENOUGH, THAT MY WIFE AND I DO NOT FEEL AS IF THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. TWO DAYS AGO WHILE ACCELERATING UP A HILL THE CAR SHIMMIED AND A FLUTTERING SOUND WAS HEARD FROM UNDER THE CONSOLE; IT HAPPENED TWICE WHILE GOING UP THE HILL. UPON RETURNING HOME I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT RIVERVIEW CHEVROLET AND HAD A TECHNICIAN RIDE WITH ME. WHILE RIDING, THE TECH. SAID HE FELT THE VIBRATION BUT COULD NOT TELL ME WHAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM OR HOW TO ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM. UPON RETURNING TO THE GARAGE I TALKED TO THE SERVICE WRITE UP PERSON AND HE SAID TO, "CALL ALL HIM IN 10 DAYS!!!!!."
WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AROUND 75MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLY. WHILE I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL AND CONTINUE ON AFTER SLOWING DOWN, IT WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING OCCURRENCE. IT SEEMS TO BE A PREVALENT PROBLEM WITH GM CARS AS AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED LOTS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS "CHEVY SHAKE."
TL* THE CONTACT'S FINANCE LEASED A 2020 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY UPON HITTING A BUMP WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CHEVROLET 112(2096 NY-112, MEDFORD, NY 11763) WHERE A MECHANIC INFORMED HIM THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO REMEDY FOR THE DEFECT. HE WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE AN INTERIM REPAIR FOR THE FAILURE WHICH THEY WOULD RELEASE IN THE FIRST PART OF 2021. THE CONTACT THEN INFORMED THE DEALER THAT HE NO LONGER WANTED TO LEASE THE VEHICLE; THE CONTACT WAS THEN DIRECTED TO THE MANUFACTURER FOR ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND GAVE HIM THE SAME INFORMATION AS THE DEALER; THEY OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,500.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD WOBBLE WHEN TRAVELING UP AN INCLINE WITHOUT WARNING.
