Other Fuel System Pump problems of the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox

Car was dying when I tried to pull out onto the road, city street from a stop sign. Was almost hit. My grandaughter is just learning to drive and I am scared to death to let her drive it . Running after key taken out, running very ruff. Check engine light kept going on & off as well as stabli trac warning. Smelled like catalytic convertor burning took to dealer to have diagosed and they said high pressure fuel pump needed to be replaced. Engine had high content of fuel scanned and had excessive amaount of rich codes and misfire codesthat there was fuel getting in my oil said there was a recall but not on my VIN. Saw other complaints same problem that were told VIN wasn't right. Cost me $500. 00 to fix bought this car brand new and had to get a new engine at 62,000 and new pistons & cracked manifold replaced at 102,000. I had taken the car to dealer a few years ago for same issue and engine light had gone off and they said they could not find anything wrong. Out of warranty now and finally diagnosed the problem. Getting ready to buy 2 cars and I will never by another chevy or gm car again . Going with the foreigns. I think these cars are all lemons. I have seen others that were also told wrong VIN but same issue, needs investigated. I have already recieved invitation for class action suit on this darn car! really.

Tl the contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox. While driving, the check engine and stability control warning indicators illuminated, and the engine would stall. The vehicle was taken to ferman Chevrolet (9751 alamo dr, tampa, FL) to be diagnosed, but the cause of the failure was not determined. The contact indicated that the high pressure fuel pump was previously replaced, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 27,000.

Gas in my oil caused by a faulty fuel pump. This is causing my vehicle to run poorly and continue to run after the key is removed. This effects the vehicle when running parked or running in all gear positions.

Takata recall: my cars engine is running extremely rough, it's idling very "bumpy" and seems to sputter, stalling out (while driving or stopped) and continuing to run a few seconds after I turn it off and the check engine keeps coming on and going off. When I took it in to see what was going on with it, the tech explained that my high pressure fuel pump is what is causing all the issues. I was talking to a friend about it and she sent me a link showing me that a recall was done on my make and model so I called my local chevy dealership and they show nothing for my VIN. Upon calling the actual chevy number listed on the site where we saw the recall they explained that even though my car is having the same issues for the part being recalled, my VIN is not included and that I will have to pay out of pocket. This is extremely frustrating! after finding this website I started reading complaints and the same thing is happening to another person with the same vehicle. I understand that these cars are made in different locations and the parts in those locations may be made differently then the parts in others but if we are having the same issues, I would think that another investigation needs to be opened and another recall needs to be issued including all VIN's for this make and model. If this has to be paid out of pocket a little help would be appreciated too. This is an expensive fix.

A year after I purchased my used Equinox my water pump went out. While at the dealership they realize that my opinions have been worn and my timing chain needed to be replaced. Less than 6 months after my engine light popped on. . This car has been unreliable almost the whole time I've owned it. Last March I replace the timing chain again. After much research I realize that my timing chain keeps getting destroyed because the high pressure fuel pump is leaking gas into my crankcase. Chevy has put out a recall for my make and model vehicle but my VIN is not listed. I'm not sure why it wouldn't be listed especially since I am experiencing the same symptoms that is listed in the bulletin.

I purchased this car as used. When I first bought it there was a ticking sound that could barely be heard. The dealer said that was common. For vehicles sitting in the lot. I brought the car back once it got a little louder and they said most fuel pumps make that sound overtime but there was no issue. And that the manifold was causing the loud noise and gas smell. And needed to get repaired. That was during the warranty period . Now an year later. A week ago my car started making the same sound again and been getting louder. My check engine was blinking a d I noticed the car wasn't driving as smoothly and was using up more gas. An engine power reduced light came on and my engine just cut off. I had to get it to towed to a shop and there is an issue with the fuel pump pressure. I see there have been a lot of issues with fuel pump on this vehicle and a TSB recall. This is a safety concern as it is causing the engine to cut off. This happens to me on a busy street. Thank god I wasn't on the highway I get on to go to work.

Fuel pressure regulator 1 exceeded control limits pressure too high. Problem with malfunctioning fuel pump similar to 2. 4l ecotec engines from gm. Models from same year and engine however not all vins covered. Engine misfires, stalls, smoking. Occurs while running with highway driving.

I got a recall letter onhigh pressure fuel pump and you dont have it listed, why. ?. I have had other recalls you dont list I trusted this site now I am not sure.

There is a current recall in place for the timing chain and fuel pump in this vehicle. Both items were replaced at 30,00 mile and now 107,000 miles later the same problem is occuring and both of these items need to be replaced again and instead of gm recognizing the recall they say that they can only provide $300. 00 towards the repair cost of the vehicle. Gm says we have exceed the mileage for the repairs to be done at no cost and want to charge us $2200. 00 for the repair of the vehicle. The recall number for this is (12313). The poc at jack evans dealership in front royal va is lauren miller (540) 635-2153. The only assistance the dealership worked out with gm towards the repair of the vehicle was $300. 00. Gm needs to recognize that not every single vehicle is going to be the same and not all vehicles are going to have problems at exactly the same mileage, if there was a problem with the parts in the vehicle and you replaced those parts when the vehicle only had 30,000 miles on it and the problem is occuring again 107,000 miles later then there is obviously still a problem. The recall was put in place for a reason and they need to do the right thing and honor that recall instead of trying to give us rebates and dealer incentives of up to $3000. 00 to be used towards the purchase of a brand new vehicle, which is what they are trying to do at this point in time.

Smells like something is burning & service engine stays light is on, engine has low power or is idling rough with a whining noise from high pressure fuel pump.

I had about 47,000 miles. 2. Oil consumption - the first time this happened I was hearing a funny noise when I turned left coming from the engine. My boyfriend checked the oil the next morning to find no oil on the dipstick. We put in 2 qts then when the dealer ship opened I took it in. They told me they could not find any internal or external leaks so bring in weekly for oil consumption test (I was about 1500 miles since my oil change that was done at the same time the fuel pump was replaced) drove out of town to visit family (about 2000 miles after oil change) after driving 200 miles heard the noise again checked the oil. . . . . . . 2 qts low. Added oil and took to local dealership. No problems found related to oil, but did find another alert that needed to be completed when I got home related to the water pump tensioner. Gm customer service again , but only was told to wait until my next scheduled oil change and start consumption tests again. 3.
