2009 Chevrolet Equinox Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Chevrolet's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Chevrolet Equinox? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Equinox towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Equinox is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Equinox's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Chevrolet Equinox’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Chevrolet's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Chevrolet Equinox transmission fluid leak? Yes. Chevrolet Equinox transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing.
