I'm writing this from the parking lot of Lowes, where I'm stuck. I came out after shopping, got in and started it up. I put it in drive, it moved about two feet, then the transmission apparently slipped into neutral. I can go in reverse, but I can't go forward. When I put it in forward, it acts as if it is still in neutral. Reverse works fine. Any ideas? I'm hoping the transmission is bad because I'm only $5k miles out of warranty.

Kevin,

Has your concern been resolved? I assume that you have spoken with your local dealer. Please keep me posted as I am interested to hear the results. Thank you.

Drive it BACK(Wards) to the dealer.... ;D. Sorry i know its not funny but couldnt resist. Tow it back to closest dealer. Hopefuly its just a comp glitch. If that was me id be raising hell considering my 16k tburon with 160k mi has less problems than this 30k with 10k mi equinox.

Turns out it was the tramission control module and a soliniod that went bad. I had it towed to the dealer Sunday evening and had it back Wednesday afternoon. It was all covered under the 5-year/100k warranty so no out-of-pocket expenses for me.

Wow, a bad solenoid can cause that? That's crazy. Glad it was worked out though.

Used to be transmission problems were mechanical - now, they can be either mechanical or electrical - ouch ! Technology ! :banghead:
