I was driving on highway 20 in Cartersville ga at speeds around 55-60 mph with both of my kids the vehicle. All of a sudden my rpm’s shot up to over 5000 while losing acceleration control of the vehicle. I attempted to slow down and pull over on the side of the road to get out of traffic and was unable to get the vehicle to move forward or backwards at all. The rpm’s continued to rev out of control unless I was park. I had to shut the vehicle off for a few minutes, erase codes and attempt to move it again. I got it to move another few feet to just clear the roadway. I had to leave the vehicle on the side of the road and get both my kids out on the highway and wait for someone to come pick us up. The truck is now in the shop and I’m told that the torque converter shred to pieces and the my transmission was shot. This was a $7000 fix and the vehicle hasn’t even hit 100,000 miles yet. I also did the recommended service at 80,000 miles following the Chevy guidelines for my truck.

Traveling hiway on cruise. My 5.3l down shifted to accelerate to go up an incline. Shortly after that there was low to almost no power. Check engine light then came on. I was able to do 30mph on freeway to get it home. Took it to a local garage since gray Daniels chevy wouldn’t service it since I recently transitioned to MS. The problem was the #4 lifter had collapsed. It costed me just shy of $4k out of pocket. I’ve read that this was a recall item for my vehicle, I was never notified. I would like to be compensated if this was indeed a recall item

right bank collapsed lifter. this is the 3rd time in 5 years this has happened same side same lifter. loss of power engine shakes the whole truck. Also electronic emergency brake won't release automatically and engages when driving. This has happened when I first bought the truck in Mar 2021, again in nov 2024 and currently at antelope valley Chevrolet on Mar 20 2026 for the same thing.

wiring harness on PCV Valve causes check engine light to come on as soon as it rains or gets wet. Dealer has tried multiple times to fix issue to no avail. The parts are on national back order and they can not get them. Dealer has told me that this is a know issue with this model year equinox.

The power steering randomly goes out while driving then resumes working fine after turning off and back on. Sometimes minutes apart it reoccurs other times its days apart. Issue seems same as the recall for 2015 models.

My 6.2L engine failed on 1/6/26 due to a OEM bearing issue. The vehicle was inspected and engine had to be replaced after the recall and service were done. The vehicle stalled while doing 30 mph on a local road. No warning lights or problems were observed or detected prior to the incident.
