2026 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

Filed May 28, 2026


The starter on a new 2026 Chevrolet Equinox RS failed at approximately 6,500 miles. While the vehicle was being driven home during evening rush hour, it shut off at a red light and would not restart. The vehicle was stranded in the left lane of a four-lane highway. It could not be moved because the engine would not start, and the vehicle would not even roll in neutral, as the wheels were locked and would not turn. The disabled vehicle blocked a live travel lane in heavy traffic. The driver was…

Filed May 27, 2026


The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet. The contact stated that while parked, the vehicle would choke on start but would not turn over and was inoperable. Diagnostic code read P129F. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a fuel pump control module failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 8,400.

2025 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

Filed May 27, 2026


While driving my 2025 Chevrolet Equinox, the vehicle experienced a sudden power and drivability issue. The vehicle began to decelerate on its own while in motion, even though I was actively driving. A warning notification appeared on the driver dashboard, and shortly after, the vehicle power shut off. This creates a serious safety concern because the vehicle can unexpectedly lose speed and/or power while driving in traffic. The issue appears to involve the transmission, powertrain, or vehicle…

2020 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

Filed May 27, 2026


My engine started running rough and, as a result of a repeating PO301 code, the car was towed to Lester Glenn of Toms River. Their diagnostic scan report (codes DTC PO301 & DTC PO303) found the engine assembly has scored cylinder walls due to failed piston rings. The entire engine had to be replaced. The odometer reading was 19,000 miles. Piston rings are designed to last 150,000 plus miles. For them to be worn enough to score a cylinder wall at 19,000 miles is a textbook definition of a…

2020 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

Filed May 26, 2026


While driving, the vehicle experienced an almost total loss of braking capability. The pedal was very hard to press, and when pressing with all my weight, I could slow the vehicle to a stop, but it took a great distance. There was no warning or malfunction indicator until I pulled into a parking lot a few minutes later. At that point, a Service Brake Assist message appeared. Had I been in traffic, going faster, or in an area with pedestrian crossings, this could have caused a possibly deadly…

2021 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

Filed May 26, 2026


My 2021 Chevrolet Equinox, VIN [XXX] , previously showed an active recall related to fuel system and stalling issues. The recall no longer appears under my VIN, but the same dangerous symptoms are happening. The vehicle jerks during acceleration, hesitates, loses power, and stalls while driving. These problems create a major safety concern because the vehicle can suddenly lose power in traffic. The symptoms match the original recall-related issues that were previously associated with this…

2023 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

Filed May 25, 2026


I was driving on freeway and went to pass a semi. The suv hesitated and had terrible turbo lag. It almost caused an accident if it hadn’t been for the truck behind me taking action to avoid a collision.
