2025 Chevrolet Equinox

When the vehicle was stopped in an intersection, the vehicle would shift from D to P by itself. The check engine lamp was subsequently lit. I would not able to shift it out of P until I restart the vehicle several times. During such incidents, I was stuck in the middle of the intersection for a few minutes, impeding traffics and endangering myself and other motorists on the road.

The odometer was at 22065 miles. The vehicle is current still in the dealership. The vehicle was normal before such incidents.

Vehicle rolls back very often when in drive. Even holding down the brake at a hill then hitting the accelerator it still rolls back. When in cruise control and I take over it also tends to make the vehicle jump when the vehicle takes back over. Overall harsh riding. Feels like it’s all coming from that CVT. Dealer says that it may be an issue but can’t replicate it unless it stays there with them for a while until they can replicate the issue. There have been incidents where I’ve almost rolled back and hit other vehicles due to this cause. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone. No warning lamps or anything on the vehicle

8 speed transmission will not shift to 8th gear at highway speeds. It will shift at a lower speed which makes merging onto an interstate dangerous. The vehicle gets better fuel mileage if it will use 8th gear. For it to use 8th gear on the interstate you must merge onto the road at a much slower speed than posted speed limit and then very slowly accelerate to posted speed limit which puts driver at greater risk of an accident.

My new 2025 Equinox RS AWD ran out of gas entering a 55 MPH highway. I tried to roll to the shoulder, and I came to a stop half on the right shoulder and half in the lane. When a 2025 Equinox RS AWD won't run, in this case because it is out of gas, there is no way to shift the car out of Park and into Neutral so it could be rolled out off the road, or on to a Tow truck ramp. When a 2025 Equinox RS AWD isn't running, it's locked in Park, and in order to move it needs to be jacked up and set on wheel dollies, for all four wheels.

The car vibrates hard, like being on the rumble strip, but only while driving about 1.7 rpm to 2 rpm and only sometimes. The transmission light came on. The dealer said it was leaking and fixed it. A few days later, the vibrating is back. It's at the dealer again. Still don't know what's wrong. I only have 4,500 miles on the car so far.
