2022 CHEVROLET EQUINOX- Port Orange, FL
Air charged cooler/ engine issues. I have a 2022 Chevy Equinox- purchased new in April 2022. When driving in heavy rain / humidity for length of time - I experience the car feeling like it is going to stall- not accelerating when pushing on the gas and jerking. Some times the engine light flashes when this occurs. Per the dealer it is due to an engine misfire - that is what the code shows. When this happens while I am driving (usually on the highway) I am terrified that I will be rear ended by another vehicle due to it slowing down - and the cars behind me have no warning/ brake lights alerting them that I am slowing down and not accelerating. From Sept 2022 to now, I have had the air charged cooler changed by the dealer twice - another time the dealer was not able to duplicate the same issue. November 2023-I had it to the dealer for the 4th time for the same issue- the solution per GM Bulletin [XXX] was to install a grill cover, which they have done. The problem with the grill cover is that I am responsible to install it and remove it depending on the weather/ temperature . Per the bulletin it needs to be on when raining - but removed if it is 85 degrees or higher and there is no clarification on what I should do if it is both raining and 85 outside. I do not know how this is safe for me to be having to stop the car and install or remove a part depending on the weather. I do not feel it is safe for me to have to stop or pull over on the side of the road / rest area or anywhere else to have to install or remove this. I am a single female [XXX] and am not comfortable with installing and removing this. The dealer did a one time courtesy demonstration of the installation and told me it is my responsibility to install or remove it from here on - depending on the temperature and weather. I drive 2 1/2 to 3 hours to work- leaving in the dark and returning in the dark. I feel my safety is at risk with the fix GM has given me.

2022 CHEVROLET EQUINOX- Key West, FL
While driving on a four lane highway during rush hour my gas peddle stopped working. I drifted to the side of the road, with cars blowing their horns at me. My car was like frozen! AAA came after 45 mins to tow me to the dealership. We were told, Yup its the fuel pump, we currently have 3 other vehicles with the same problem. It's probably going to take at least a week to fix. No, they do not provide loaner car. Update: Dealership informed us that there's no time limit insight to fix our vehicle. The fuel pump is on back order and there are thousands of cars countrywide awaiting for the part.

9/15/2023, noticed a hesitation in the acceleration of the vehicle, when attempting to proceed after a full stop. Purchased the vehicle from CARMAX in Las Vegas, 8/25/2023. Recall Sheets were provided, however - I have been "unable to "REGISTER" the vehicle (in my name) to NHTSA website. When, "remedy" to the RECALLS are available, ???? How will "I" be "notified" to take the car to a Dealership ???

2022 CHEVROLET EQUINOX- Frostproof, FL
Was approaching intersection for a left hand turn and just before getting to red light engine stalled. Tried at least 6 times to restart but would not. Was 2nd in line at a major intersection so after no luck restarting I called for road side assistance. The police came to direct traffic and then decided best to push me to the gas station next to intersection. While waiting for tow truck I tried starting vehicle about a half hour later and it started. After sitting there waiting for tow it stalled again and would not start. About an hour later tow truck came and at that time it restarted for him to load on to tow truck. The car is waiting for service but its the weekend and will need to wait for Dealership to call when ready.

2022 CHEVROLET EQUINOX- Frostproof, FL
on 08-31-2023 left house and got about 1 mile down the road going about 45 mph and had loss of power and engine stalled. Pulled over and tried to restart engine but would not start, engine light was on. Called dealership and said to have it towed in. 2 days later dealer called and said it was ready and it was a fuel module issue. When picking the car up the service guy said they reprogrammed it. Asked if I had to sign anything and he replied no, so no paperwork was given.

2022 CHEVROLET EQUINOX- choctaw, OK
The car was parked, started up to pull out of the parking space, preceded to back up. The car moved a couple of inches out of the parking space. The car position was half in the parking space and half way in traffic. Then the car locked up with lights appeared on the dashboard, engine light comes on, ESC and car with wiggly lines. The car would not move forward, reversed, nor could I cut off the engine. Was afraid to take foot off brakes since the car would not cut off engine. Call the tow truck and it was towed to the dealer with engine running and lights still on. Dealer said they have not seen this before. After researching ESC lights on Equinox, complaints and concerns has been reported since 2018 on Equinox models. We did not have any problems prior to this nor any warning signs. Brought the car new 2022 Equinox, and this happen with 10, 385 miles on the car. The car never been in an accident. Danger and safety was the car was stuck in the middle of the street and partial in the parking space, making it dangerous for continued traffic and potential accident. The dealer still has the car.

2022 CHEVROLET EQUINOX- Russell Springs, KY
While diving down a busy highway, the vehicle's check engine light came on with no notice and my daughter lost acceleration and then the vehicle "died" while driving on this busy highway. The steering locked up. She had a hard time getting it to the side of the road. It was a very dangerous situation. If this would have happened a couple days later while driving on the interstate, it could have been deadly and caused a major accident. The vehicle would not start back up and had to be towed. It's already had a fuel pump issue when we first bought it and had that replaced. Now, it's back in the shop and who knows for how long. I bought my daugheter a new vehicle so that we wouldn't have to worry about her being on the side of the road and now I do NOT trust this vehicle as I am seeing this is an ongoing issue with this vehicle. Again, we are lucky that this did not cause and accident and injury or death to others.......
