Does the AWD system have to reach a certain RPM or MPH to engage ? Maybe during the transition to engage, there is some shudder.....
Wouldn't explain this for the FWD though...
Sometimes a battery will show a good charge, but i don't always trust readings.
I like to replace the battery every 3 years.
The climate I'm in will kill batteries-- lots of heat and cold.
If those are aluminum, (not sure).. you can use a aluminum friendly paste to clean up some more.
Use a magic eraser on the inside barrel, but don't overdo it
Use some 303 aerospace Protectant on rubber seals and as Vern pointed out, critical to keep the seals and area around the drain holes clear of any dirt, debris by the drain holes.
Valvoline has a new oil called Restore and Protect, it is supposed to help clean pistons, etc.
Redeline S-1 fuel system cleaner will help some cleanup also.
How many miles do you have on yours?
Not sure about the other ecotechs...
Hoping to trade my wife's 2017 for a new Equinox.
Will probably avoid the AWD, even though I love AWD on any car.
The 2025 looks awesome-- Chevy hit a homerun on the design !
I had a similar problem, I think it was a camshaft sensor that went bad on mine. It would crank, go a few feet, then die.
I was right down the street from the dealership, and just made it there the last time.
Put some Continentals on my 2017, seemed to grip better than the Michelin Defenders I had on it.
The Michelin Primacy ? that came on it went fast...
I got mine off Tire Rack- shipped to Discount Tire, mounted and balanced for 95$.
I think TR and Discount Tire have some type of partnership
Easy spray on product, and wipe off with good non-scratching microfiber towels...

I use it on my wife's Equinox -
You should buy a good sealant that you can use yourself, if you just plan on going thru a car wash.
Most car washes that have brushes or cloths hit your paint, will leave micro-scratches.
If you ceramic coat it, have the detailer wash it twice a month for you, or something.
Jescar PowerLock...
Have you tried using a MITYVAC oil/fluid extractor ?
You can possibly run the tubing at the transmission add hole, by the engine to suck out the fluid. ( going to try it soon)
I use it to drain my oil on a 2017 (2.4), it sucks out every last drop.
Actually sucks on the bottom of the pan...
