2013 Equinox occasional knocking noise from back end
#71
I have the same problem with my 2016 Equinox. I just ignored it for a while thinking it was something in the lift gate.
When I come to a stop sometimes I hear from the back "thump... thump... thump... thumpthumpthumpthumpthump"
I haven't brought it in for service yet, but just recently its started to randomly, when I stop at a light or something, buck forward a little in little jerks. I'll slow down to a full stop and it tries to buck forward a couple times.
I hated this car as soon as I bought it. I could just tell it wouldn't last. What a piece of **** Chevy, you won't ever get my business again. My 05 Jeep Wrangler has almost 200,000 miles and not problem number 1 yet. So its not like its hard to build a decent ****ing car.

I have had same issue with 2014 for 3 years!
skilwit,
I am sorry to hear you are experiencing this knocking noise with your Equinox. The dealership should look into this for at least a diagnosis. If you would like you can private message me your name, VIN, phone number, address, mileage, and the name of your preferred GM dealership, so we can assist you through this concern. Look forward to hearing from you.

I know this is an old thread but i'm glad i found it. I've been wracking my brain in trying to figure out what's wrong with our 2013 GMC Terrain with only 69k miles. And this seems to be causing the issue now we're experiencing. The described popping noise is something i've heard from day one when we got our Terrain. I just don't get why when i took it to the dealership 7yrs ago and described to them what i was hearing they said it was nothing and told me to be on my way. Also why GM never sent any notice to owners about this issue. I've lost faith in GM, we've been a GM family for years, in last 10 years we picked up 4 GM vehicles, heck my wife's brothers also work for GM in Canada. Wife was thinking of picking up the EV Equinox next year but seems like it might be time to go back to imports.
Here's the thread that i started back on Terrain Forums regarding the issues now that this AUXILIARY PUMP is causing, of course when i started it i didn't know it was the auxiliary pump. https://www.terrainforum.net/threads...5/#post-329385

Knocking equinox
I love my 2014 Equinox, but have been concerned about a "thumping" sound coming from the rear of the car. It usually occurs after the car has been sitting for several hours - typically when starting it in the AM or after work. It mostly occurs after the engine is started and sits idling for approximately 5 minutes prior to take-off. It has happened when the car is in park and also in gear with brake on. On one occasion, it happened at a stop light 2-3 minutes into my commute. I have told the service department staff at dealership, but it makes no sense to them. I had it in for one night to see if sound could be replicated - no. It is at the dealership for a second time, hopefully long enough for sound to be replicated. The pattern of "thumps" is typically 4-5 slow thumps followed by 8-10 rapid thumps. HELP!
