TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET EQUINOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE GEAR SELECTOR WAS USED TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE, THE VEHICLE KEPT ROLLING IN REVERSE AS THE GEAR FAILED TO REMAIN IN POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO DEALERS (GILROY CHEVROLET, 6720 AUTOMALL CT, GILROY, CA 95020, 408-842-9301 AND CAPITOL CHEVROLET, 905 CAPITOL EXPRESSWAY AUTO MALL, SAN JOSE, CA 95136, 408-600-1145). THE DEALERS WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED A CASE. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT PROVIDE FURTHER TESTING TO ASSIST THE DEALER AND CLOSED THE CASE WITH NO REMEDY PROVIDED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE. *TT CONSUMER STATED EQUINOX AT CAPITOL CHEVROLET, WITH THE HOPE THAT SOMETHING WILL BE CORRECTED. EQUINOX WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE UNLESS I TURNED IT ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES AND SHIFTED GEARS MULTIPLE TIMES. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TO ME IN FEBRUARY. SUV BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND SEEM LIKE IT WAS OUT OF GAS AT IDLE. UPDATED 10/12/18*JB
