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. The contact stated that the wobble ceased upon depression of the brake pedal. The contact had taken the vehicle to bob bell Chevrolet (1230 bel air road, baltimore, md 21014) on three separate occasions where the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure after each visit. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000.
When accelerating the car begins to shake and shimmy noticeably beginning around 35 or 40 mph. This shaking is felt in the seat as well as the steering wheel. The vibration continues until the acceleration is halted. This shaking feels like it is coming from the transmission or drive shaft. It seems to be getting worse too. Currently 3650 miles on the car. Serpentini Chevy in westlake, oh is also aware of the problem and showed me a letter that GM sent to the dealers acknowledging the issue on 9/9/20 but no fix is available. It feels unsafe
After 3 months, 500 miles we noticed oil leaking from transmission. Dealer inspected and found that half the torque converter case porus. The dealer recieved authhorization to replace transmission.
My 2020 Equinox has less than 500 miles and over the weekend, when coming to a stop at a light, the forward completely disengaged and would not allow us to move forward. We could only go reverse. We had our 5 year old grandson with us and this was terrifying. It could have been even more dangerous had it been dark or on a busier road.

Vehicle completely lost engine response reaction to acceleration peddle from a yield turn into main road. From the yield, slow rolling less than 1 mile per hour, I stepped on the gas peddle to merge into the main road and the vehicle had zero response for nearly 30 feet. If there was a car coming I would not have been able to avoid being completely hit in the side. I pumped the gas peddle in an attempt to regain any response, after several pumps the engine rpms increased drastically to 3000 without upshifting at proper time and the vehicle surged ahead. Odometer reading 2376. 1200 mile service completed. 2400 mile vehicle service scheduled. Filled tank 37.8 miles prior to event with 89 octane. Roughly 35 to 40 degrees.
