Let us know :thumbup:
The other thing is when starting out using a light throttle when the tac hits about 1500 rpms I get a something that sounds like a low pitched wind noise coming from the engine. as soon as you get to 1700 rmps or give it more throttle the sound stops.
Anyone noticed anything similar with the V6.

I did drive a couple LTZ's and didn't notice this;
Any help would be appreciatd as I like this car alot just don't like feeling like I'm on a bouncing ball.
Thanks
We have a 1LT and love the little bit rougher ride than in the competitors.
My LT1 came with 17" Michelin Latitude Tour tires. They had 37 psi right off the dealers lot. I noticed the stiffer feel right away but accept that as a compromise for getting better mileage. If you want a softer ride I suppose you could lower the psi but you also lower your MPG's and expected tire life.
In the end if all you want is a cushy ride maybe this isn't the vehicle however you can find some out there a lot worse than the NOX. Try some of the shorter wheelbase crossovers out there, the NOX has the longest in the category.
I know there are worse out there and some that are no better but way more expensive.
But if the car is literally 'bouncing' excessively after going over the bumps on the LT2's, I am inclined to think this is more due to suspension and shock absorber valving that is probably different on the LTZ's if they don't exhibit that bounciness.
Furthermore, the V6 model may have a slightly heavier front weight bias than the 4 cylinder. Usually 4 cyl models are better balanced and handle better also in vehicles where both engines are offered because the 4 cyl engines are always lighter. The greater the weight difference, the more noticeable the handling differences will be.
I am from GM Customer Service. Yes, you should be able to close and open/close your lift gate from the overhead console. Because you are experiencing and issue with it I would have it diagnosed. You can email me if you have any further questions. Thank you,

MY201 - The button on the overhead console requires ALL doors to be unlocked in order to operate the power liftgate. First verify all doors are unlocked, sometimes when entering the vehicle via key fob, maybe the unlock button is only pressed once which only unlocks the driver door. If this does not fix your issue please take it in for service.
I hope this helps.
The average fuel economy computer gives me fairly accurate information compared to manuel calculation methods if I remember to reset the computer and pay attention. I have twice calculated fuel economy at 32 mpg in my 2010 Nox using the miles divided by gallons method, and the number has been within 5% of the car's computer. The driving conditions both times were nearly 100% freeway with little or mixed wind.
We're also getting fixed two small areas that are peeling a bit (no rust because the piece is plastic). The spots are on the bumper piece where it connects with the rear quarter panel by the wheel well. It is doing it on both sides. The dealer thinks the paint wasn't sanded correctly on the dumper before it was put on the vehicle.
Just some things to look out for...
The Dealer can't seem to locate the problem yet, although they HAVE replicated the problem, and are still looking at it. The Tech said he talked to a GM Engineer who said he has seen a similar problem in the Malibu.
Has anyone else experienced this ? If yes, did you get any resolution ?
Thanks !
The 2010 Equinox does have a clicking/ticking noise associated with their 4 cylinders. The noise comes from the injectors and it is normal. However, if you feel that the noise is really loud I would suggest taking it to the dealership. Thank you,

Is this knocking associated with fact the 2.4L is direct injection?
I noticed this on my Nox but it isn't very loud and I've never thought anything of it.
Thanks.
My vehicle stalled while slowing down from coming off the interstate. It gave a few engine codes. It started right back up, and we were on our way. It only did it that one time. Had the actuator replaced a few months ago and all has been good in this regard.
I have a 1LT with the Vehicle Interface Package and they forgot to put in the USB port (common with early 1LTs with VIF). In the 1LT the USB port isn't standard equipment like with the 2LT, but with the VIF mine should have had it.
What exactly did you do to get this issue resolved (I'm sorry I've had a hard time following your issue due to the high number of posts in this thread)?
My dealer offered to install it for free, but the two parts needed total about $400. I don't think I should have to pay this since I only got a $75 credit on the invoice for it not being installed.
Thanks!
Anyone also know if there is a service bulletin for the weak low beams on the headlights? My dealer was unable to find one, but that doesn't mean there isn't one.
Also, for the first thirty seconds or so after startup the Nox warms up the catalytic converter quickly to lessen pollution (all vehicles do, it is a govt. regulation). During this time the vehicle feels like it hesitates when driving it. There was supposed to be a new software calibration to fix this. Anyone know if it is out yet? And if so, what the calibration number is?
Thanks.
Just a FYI for everyone: these new Nox's are obviously very new so there isn't a lot of data out there regarding analysis of used oil from these engines. I have heard, however, the direct injected engines in the Traverse are very hard on oil (the 4 cyl Nox is also DI). Considering this, I'd suggest putting in full synthetic oil to protect your engine and oil changes at least every 6k miles. Often times you can go 10k or more miles on full synthetic oil, but I wouldn't in this engine.
