05 Equinox accelerator
My 05 Equinox does not accellerator when going up hill. I am not sure what to look for diagnosing the problem. It's my first car and the mechanic has not been helpful because it is not a constant problem. It's struggling to get in the right gear is the best way I know how to describe it. Open to any ideas/suggestions.

It may be a transmission problem, the actual transmission, low fluid or fluid leak. These are just suggestions, not a diagnosis. If you would like, PM me your VIN number, I may be able to offer additional information.
I encourage you to take the vehicle in for an inspection to a GM Certified Technician. They should be able to offer a diagnosis with a physical inspection.
If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact me.

05 Equinox Update
Hi, I appreciate your help. This is a new experience for me and going into the repair shop has been a bit dissappointing. It is amazing that I have to prove that I am a lady but intelligent to the mechanic I used (dealer). The VIN is 2CNDL73F756140199.
I am entertaining giving the car up but rather not.

Thank you for providing your VIN number. I asked for the number to see if there were any known issues on 2005 Equinox vehicles. Unfortunately, there are no known issues at this time.
I encourage you to take the vehicle in for an inspection. I am sorry your previous experience at the dealer was disappointing. If you are not comfortable taking the vehicle to your current dealer, you are more than welcome to take it to another dealer. If you would like, I can search for others in your area. I would just need your zip code.
When you do take the vehicle in, I suggest you have them take the vehicle for a drive, so they can attempt to duplicate the problem. Explain to them what happens and when it happens. Be as specific as possible, the more information the better. In order for them to diagnose the problem successfully, they have to be able to duplicate the problem.
Please keep me posted.
