I wish I had something to offer other than I had a 2009 HHR that developed a parasitic drain on the battery. I was never able to pin it down. I kept it on a "float charger" (they never overcharge the battery) so it was always ready to use. It would take about 5 days for the battery to go flat...

Auto stop/start won't work if the computer isn't happy with everything it monitors. By bypassing it, you loose that feature. After I had my batteries replaced a couple years ago and the control module reprogrammed, I haven't had any problems at all. I like auto stop/start. When I works, I...

Translation: 1.5T electric fan always starts. Hello, I have taken my Equinox to the official GM service and about the operation of the electro fan I was told that given the current atmospheric conditions of my city (30 degrees Celsius) it is normal for it to work at 20% from the cold start...

If you notice your tires wearing on the edges, more pressure will lesson that. If they're wearing in the center, it's a sign the pressure is too high.

Translation: Hello, the electric fan of my Equinox 1.5T starts when the engine is cold and does not turn off until I turn off the engine. The coolant temperature when the vehicle is running in the city and on the road remains around 90 degrees Celsius. What can it be..??. It has some...

Have your battery tested before taking it to the dealer. The computers freakout if the battery isn't in tip-top shape.

This page shows 3 "battery" cables - all out of stock but you might be able to get a part number. There are pictures for each one. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/chevrolet,2024,equinox,1.5l+l4+turbocharged,3454287,electrical,battery+cable,2500

The computers in these car require the batteries be in VERY good condition. Have the battery checked and load tested before doing much more. If it's at all suspect, replace it.

Autozone or any of the others should have the equipment to thoroughly test your battery (for free).

A battery that's about to die might be causing your problems. The computers in these cars demand a good battery in tip-top shape. Vibrations in 45mph range sound like tire balance.

I'd keep taking it back. Like you said, this should have be taken care of under warranty. I wish I had an easy fix for you but the dealer is my only suggestion. If it means they have to replace the whole thing, that's what they ought to do. Bypass the service department and see if you can't...

What did you find after removing the starter? Was it the problem?

Many I've heard from say the BlueDriver available on Amazon will read all the systems. I bought one myself for the next time I need one. When it said one of my other cars was code free, it passed the license plate tests without any problems...

Have you tried scanning it? The better the scanner, the more informative the code will be. These things are under the control of computers. Don't throw any parts at it until you know why it's upset and make sure the battery is in top notch shape. Good luck!

Have you ever had the codes scanned?

I just had a shop run wires from the taillights to the front bumper so I can tow my Malibu behind my motorhome and have the taillights work with the motorhome taillights. They ran the wire underneath and wire-tied them to some of the many tubes running under there from the engine compartment to...

I hope this YouTube might help: How to set Driver's Information Center on 2024 Chevy Equinox

I fumbled through the settings on my 2015 Malibu and found a setting for the maximum volume at start up. It's supposed to reduce the volume if I have it at a high volume when I get back in.
