Consumer Description

THIS CAR HAS A SEALED TRANSMISSION. AND I ONLY DRIVE AROUND TOWN AND TO AND FROM WORK. WHEN YOU GO TO TAKE OFF IT HESITATES AND JUMPS. IN FIRST AND SECOND GEARS. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER EQUINOX OWNERS AND APPARENTLY THIS HAPPENS TO EVERYONE. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A DEFECT. NOT EVERY CAR SHOULD HAVE TRANSMISSIONS PROBLEMS
