    2010 transmission issues

    Took it to the dealer in N KCMO. Wll advise on what they find. I'm into them for 150 diagnosis fee, and letting them keep it until they fix it. I think they'll help pay for it. My book says transmission warranty is 8 years, 100 k miles. I'm at 10 years and 99.5k miles. I know they extended...

    Towing

    This is for my 2010 2.4. i do not know if your engine is the same. My book says it's OK for 1000 lbs without trailer brakes, and 1500 with trailer brakes. With the V6, can go to 3500 lbs. I've towed a bunch, and can tell you that 1200 lbs is about the limit for the car. Get much over 1300...

    Tires

    Aged rubber causes problems, depends on your micro climate. Stored inside, outside, sunny, not, hot, etc. On my Miata, I just looked at the 8 year old tires, they're TOAST. No symptoms last time I looked, but now-- Sidewall crazing, split rubber in the treads, particularly close to the...

    2010 transmission issues

    I am resurrecting this thead, as my 2010 has some weird things happening to it. On the road, of course, and towing. Ist symptom was a harsh shift, from 5th into top 6th. This was early on, in a 600 mile day. The next symptom , after lots of miles, was a bucking drive action--it seems like no...

    HAS GM FIXED THE 2.4 (in the Equinox) ?

    Driver's side seat belt switch fixed itself, but I've put 15k miles this month, moving north. It's got a little high speed brake shimmy (turn rotors 1st time) and a very slight hesitation off idle and part throttle. The 2.4 has plenty of power; I've been hauling heavy loads at high speed...

    No problem here with our 2010, getting ready for it's 10th birthday. Very pleased with it's current condition, however I've got 2 balky electrics needing fixin-- the manual shift button, to replace the shift lever drivers seat belt switch needs another as the light mostly stays on.

    2nd Gen Nox 2.4l Transmission Fluid Dipstick, a GM part

    My final report-- it was a bust. Didn't fit, no way at all. Different screw closure than our simple screw cap. This part is a half-turn design, like our oil caps.

    Replacement WiperBlades??

    Exact same problem here, on my 2010 Equinox. I replaced the rear OEM wiper--the blade was disintegrating after many years--with a "Popular Mechanics" branded 13" blade. That was a mistake, as it caused the rear blade/holder assembly to scratch the rear glass. It was the plastic cover that...

    Tire Tread and Wall preforation

    Just replaced my original Latitude tires (slightly over 8 years old) which looked pretty much like yours. They had 59k miles on them, but were not even close to the wear bars. I'd estimate them around 5/32" (but didn't measure them). They had the sidewall crazing and tread cracking just like...

    Oil Changes and Maintenance?

    My oil life monitor was just reprogrammed. Pretty sure it was to shorten the oil change frequency. I get antsy when I hit 7k between changes, and my oil life monitor never went much below 50% oil life before I changed it. In the past, I used Wally world s-tech full synthetic, but the last...

    Oil Changes and Maintenance?

    The longest I've gone on the oil life monitor percentage countdown, was to 40%. That was almost a year. I use synthetic, too.
