Transmission does not shift properly. It will either hang up in the last gear or shift hard with a clunk into the next gear. Have returned the vehicle to the dealer twice and have been told this is normal for a 6 speed transmission. My 2007 Equinox also had a 6 speed transmission and never shifted like this 2011 does. This is the 6th Chevrolet I've bought since 2000. Think they would try to determine what the problem is before I opt for another auto maker.
